That's probably why we can see the gargantuan red elephant with multicolor dots in the room while you're struggling. I’d suggest you hop on the bandwagon, but I’m worried you'd take my joke literally with this level of discernment.

You're absolutely entitled not to want to date someone who doesn't align with or resonate with your political preferences. There’s no guilt in that. Personally, if I were living in Florida, I’d probably take a strong stance—no dating, no marriage, no children with Trump supporters. My ideals of masculinity are so far removed from the world they want to create that I know I wouldn't enjoy being in a romantic relationship with any of them. For me, romantic relationships are also about some kind of admiration/satisfaction. I want to be with a man whose daily actions, or at least his intentions, contribute to preserving harmony, social cohesion, and progress. When it comes to significant friendships, I also need to feel like they’re at least somewhat socially conscious. Core values need to match for quality relationships. Whenever I meet someone, if I don't get this kind of informations through observation, I ask very early on what's their perspective like on key, very revealing matters. If I find out they are not aligned, I'll give them my most beautiful slow fade and low interest vibe for them to understand that I'm not much into that connection. The hard one is when you get tricked by finding out months after when you are already emotionally involved. I would avoid this at all cost. Nowadays I've gotten wiser and I'm finally in the zone where I spot red flags and green flags. For instance, I've cleared my social medias and follow 90% of emotionally intelligent men to remind me what the standard should be. The other ones can go kick rocks and circle jerk in their conditioning pool until they find the light.

Na. I love you. But that's kinda the same thing.

Hahaha. Yeah, they'll tell you one day that beauty (here synonymous with good looks) doesn't matter for a man, and the next day complain that Chad with his square jaw stole all the good girls.

Beauty can draw attention, but attention in itself is not inherently fulfilling. In fact, it often comes with significant downsides—unwanted attraction, projections, envy, and lust—all of which are far removed from genuine appreciation and love. Having been surrounded by exceptionally beautiful women since my teenage years, I’ve seen firsthand the perks that beauty can bring. But I’ve also learned that it’s not enough to sustain meaningful, fulfilling relationships. Beauty is fleeting, and without the deeper foundation of a person’s character and essence, it offers little to build upon. Ultimately, beauty is a double-edged sword—captivating yet impermanent, alluring yet insufficient for the kind of connection that truly lasts. Both men and women often chase physical beauty, driven partly by shadow motivations—seeking beauty as a substitute for being loved—and by our predominantly Stage Orange culture. In this culture, external validation and societal beauty standards influence our self-esteem far more than necessary. Beauty is ultimately a matter of perception and extends far beyond the merely physical. Men are naturally attracted to feminine beauty, but with maturity, the depth of what beauty means transcends the physical. It becomes about more than just an impeccable exterior. What could I do out of someone who is absolutely gorgeous, masculine, and all of that if he can't meet my depths? Be a foolish clown? Or see the beauty in the more subtle?

Contempt and arrogance are big turns off for me. I like to be connected to people and find it hard to establish any meaningful contact in these circumstances.

I’m stepping in because the discussion here seems to have been misrepresenting femininity, and I wanted to offer some clarity. I also disagree with the idea that we’re just survival machines. I believe we’re love machines—caught in survival mode because we’re still culturally unconscious. The end game, though, is to transcend the excesses of the survival mindset and return to love as our true nature. )

A woman's attraction to a toxic bad boy stem from the suppression of her own assertiveness. Toxic bad boys are pretty lame. Can't make a decent partner out of it. As per the nice guy... What's hiding behind that concept? I’ve had male friends who described themselves as 'nice guys,' but their behavior often revealed selfish underlying intentions and energy that felt off-putting. They were 'good partners' only in their own minds, not in reality. As per picking a potential mate... I want someone with whom I can grow and match my value. Not everyone would be compatible and it's a headache.

Kiddos need their mum as much as their dad.

What becomes problematic is using this reasoning to reduce men’s sole purpose to reproduction—just as Leo did with women. If that argument held up, the logical conclusion would be that the main purpose of both genders is reproduction. Yet, this is rarely said about men. The underlying implication is often that a man's purpose transcends reproduction, while women are reduced to the role of child-bearers. In some cases, this narrative is conveniently framed to allow men to prioritize their own ambitions while women are expected to sacrifice themselves—often in the name of love or an idealized version of the 'Madonna". Metaphysically speaking, the purpose of the Masculine isn’t simply to thrive and accomplish for itself like it's the Chad gender. Its deeper role is to love, honor, and protect the Feminine in its full expression. And in it's human form, it also means recognizing and valuing the Feminine beyond its reproductive role and checking out of its current naval gazing tendencies.

Silly me, I should go autoimpregnante myself like a female python .

It’s often said that women’s primary purpose is to have children, but doesn’t this overlook something essential? Both genders play complementary, symbiotic roles in reproduction—neither exists without the other in this process. If we were to follow that logic further, one could argue that men’s physical strength serves the sole purpose of protecting women and their offspring. Yet we know it’s far more nuanced than that. Framing women solely as ‘baby-makers’ not only diminishes our full humanity and capacities to do other things but also implies that men alone hold inherent value, existing for themselves while women are reduced to accessories in the act of creation. The second, subservient sex to the other one. The narrative that women exist primarily for motherhood or are the second sex to men is outdated and does not reflect reality. There are countless women who are exceptionally competent, accomplished, and articulate, contributing meaningfully to society (and this include this forum) in ways that go far beyond this role.

I don't know about a frog prince, but I've got a turtle prince for youuuuuu. 🎵🎵Damn, he is a sexy Mitch. A sexy Mitch. Damn he is a sexy Mitch. 🎵🎵 And Trump is still missing so far, am I not right? Lucky youuu. Also, any chance you were that infamous demon who attacked Tucker Carlson? -- I am having constantly weird dreams lately. And they can turn pretty easily into lucid dreaming. Last time I was exploring a very trippy dream, which contained lots of archetypical symbols and in which I woke up, knowing it was an epic dream that would be perfect for some analysis. And what was super crazy, is that not only during this dream I woke up and turned it lucid, but I transformed the lucid dreaming into some sort of no-self awakening. Second time that this happens to me. Anyway, while this was happening, while I was dreaming I felt clearly that the dreaming mind was looking for homeostasis. And there might be even several layer of homeostasis being looked for. And one of it might be the search for the unconsicious to heal into non-duality too, if it makes sense. I just think the act of sex symbolize merging with what you still haven't made peace with in the relative world and is symbolized by these right wing chads. I share your analysis that you are longing for reintegration and what you dislike outside is disliked inside. End goal is discerning what actuality is made of without judgement and without any sort of repulsion for the ignorance that ends up harming out of innocence and trauma. I do think that the conscious repulsion you've got for these men might be a key element there.Maybe it's even more about you than it is about them. Somewhat making love to your masculine based repressed shame?
