@Leo Gura Dang du

*Me showing a video of Owen cook making out with 2 girls in the dance floor*

Be careful even trying to explain it to some guys

@Leo Gura ? But you just told a bad pick up line.

@StarStruck Surrending to God is paradoxically surrendering to yourself

@Leo Gura Okay leave it ambiguous. Truth is tricky!

@Leo Gura Damn. So did she dump you?

@Leo Gura How did she not know? You guys met at the club no?

This is a challenge I see with a lot of accusations. When you feel bad about something or just hurt about a relationship or encounter it’s easy to rewrite memories, not take responsibility and demonize the person. Then you accuse them of rape, misconduct or what have you. I don’t know how common that is… but I’ve seen similar mental gymnastics in myself structurally so I imagine it can happen to women as well. I wonder what the story is on how this was done, or investigated by these news outlets. What is de true true?

As long as you are socially calibrated it’s obvious when they are giving consent… they are touching you, allowing you to touch them and even saying like, “I want you inside”… as she kisses you. Then you gotta get up and find the damn condoms hahah

@Leo Gura Okay…? In terms of his view on the accusations and whether he is being truthful in his statements to media and how he sees himself you mean? If you have sex with someone but they didn’t consent and felt raped… isn’t that rape?

@Buck Edwards It means, if he did it guilt does exist. If you get drunk and crash your car and kill people you still are guilty.

Look at guys like Russel Simmons. His book Do You I read, and he did a lot of good for the world. Yet, is accused by 7 women of rape. Some men, even though they do good in some areas of their lives unfortunately also went and committed rape and sexual assault. It’s unfortunate but seems common enough. They obviously should be held accountable.

Did they? @Buck Edwards Brand is sorta shady, though I think he has good intentions obviously. He is an idiot.

@Princess Arabia I agree. At the same time I want money. Actual money. I value all that stuff you say but the post is about attracting/ creating financial wealth. I want that! Money! Moneyyyy. I feel like an idiot making art and doing spiritual stuff in my youth. So stupid. Was it beautiful and meaningful? Yes. But, being broke is so dumb. Money comes first.

No more fighting please. This area of discussion triggers a lot of fears for men and women. Men and women have different fears, blind spots, concerns, views, survival concerns, beliefs, and silly ideas about this stuff. It’s hard to moderate that for me because I realize that what a male member fears a female may think is cringe or vice versa. I’ll have to take things case by case. The thread really isn’t meant to be about the asymmetry between men and women’s sexual abuse. Conflict is normal here, but let’s keep it down as much as possible without making things personal. That being said, try to keep the thread on topic with regards to Russell’s accusations. If you can’t the thread will be locked.

@Princess Arabia Well, financially $500,000 is the ground floor of being financially wealthy to me. Which, as of today I’m a long ways away unfortunately. I deeply desire fat stacks of cash, and a fat pouch of gold. I’ve acknowledged that happiness or inner wealth is different. Rich won’t make me happy. But, I can’t buy a car and put a down payment on a house without actual money. I want wealth, and freedom from wage slavery and trying to figure a way to do this is deeply challenging and… honestly does lead to my feeling of helplessness which I’m working through. I’ve come to realize that I do want large amounts of financial wealth because I realize now how limiting my lack of wealth is. It vastly limits my ability to live in accordance with my values and desires. Which, does limit my happiness. I can still enjoy so much about life. But, I want deep, deep pockets and the fact that I never wanted this before my late 20’s boggles my mind. I was a retard not wanting this when I was 12-26 years old. Nothing wrong with enjoying the lottery. But, don’t count on it. I want to maximize my odds of breaking free one day. I want to provide massive value.

Was recently used for sex by my boss on a tree planting contract. Feels bad.even if girl who is hot..

@Leo Gura True about brand. I don’t think he is a bad dude, but accountability here is important if this is true.

I’ve definitely felt used by women before which feels bad. But, raped? No. Groped? Yes. A man being raped by a woman. is pretty super rare. But, she can definitely make you feel like shit.

@Francis777 Hm, I’m not sure!

You did receive a warning Thursday, which likely came with post restrictions for a short time. I don’t see in the notes of a post restriction though. I am still familiarizing myself with the warning points system. Also, it does go against forum guidelines to create these types of threads. But, I think it may be worth keeping open for a minute.

Everyone gets their turn… I don’t really know. I wonder what’s true

@Yimpa true I think
