I think your argument is flawed bc 1. Makes an assumption that non-natural is bad 2. 'why are there more heterosexuals then?' ignores the cultural, and historical reasons as to why 3. Implies evolutionary psychology is the only + right lens to use

Unsolvable hm. I think acceptance is part of that equation. I know with struggle it can be common to resist unsolvable issues, which can cause a lot of mental turmoil. When you accept it, you come to peace with it. This doesn't mean you are enabling/condoning/neglecting etc. But you are coming to peace with the suffering with an issue Practically speaking there's a few ways I know how to actualize that. Mindfulness meditation, sedona method. Lots of evidence based therapy modalities as well

Yeah its kinda lame. I've personally never come across that but I see it pretty popular on sm I'd understand if she was like broke, broke tho and her partner was wealthy Imagine both ppl were making similar and she takes half ur shit and keeps her own lol. Dude that is so dumb ud have to have picked really badly I think to land a girl like that 🤔

Yeah if he's not fulfilling his end of the group then sounds a bit tough

Yeah this is what I was thinking. I feel its good to also befriend ppl who are naturals as well

I remember Nathaniel Branden has a quote about self esteem being derived from an innate sense of self efficacy and self worth and accomplishments reconfirm the innateness

I feel its also impt to make friends w guys who r good with girls You can learn from and absorb skills through osmosis You've said this many times b4 nothing new tho

chatgpt4: The stigma surrounding homosexuality has complex and varied origins, influenced by historical, cultural, religious, and societal factors. Here are some key aspects: Historical Factors: Throughout history, many societies have had norms and laws that privilege heterosexual relationships, often viewing them as the only legitimate form of relationship. This has led to a marginalization of homosexuality. Religious Influences: Many major religions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, have traditionally viewed homosexual acts as immoral or sinful, based on their interpretations of religious texts. This religious stance has significantly influenced societal attitudes. Cultural Norms and Traditions: In many cultures, traditional gender roles and expectations about family structure are closely tied to heterosexuality. Deviations from these norms, such as homosexuality, can be seen as threatening to the social order. Lack of Understanding and Fear: Homophobia, the fear or hatred of homosexuals, often stems from a lack of understanding. Misconceptions and myths about homosexuality can lead to prejudice and discrimination. Societal and Legal Discrimination: Historically, many societies have enacted laws that explicitly discriminate against homosexual individuals, reinforcing the notion that homosexuality is wrong or abnormal. Psychological Theories: Earlier psychological theories pathologized homosexuality, treating it as a mental illness. Although this view has been largely discredited and abandoned by the mainstream medical and psychological communities, its legacy can still influence attitudes. Media Representation: For a long time, media portrayals of LGBTQ+ individuals were either negative or nonexistent, which contributed to widespread misunderstanding and stereotyping. Understanding the origins of this stigma is crucial for addressing and combating it, and for promoting a more inclusive and accepting society. The attitudes towards homosexuality have been changing in many parts of the world, with increasing acceptance and legal rights for LGBTQ+ individuals, but challenges and stigma persist in various forms.

Just playing semantics.. same logic applies

Depending where youre from it can be not 'normal' in the sense that it is heavily stigmatized to be gay. You're open to public judgement, disapproval, losing friends, family, job opportunities etc. It can be a dominating, culture wide perspective It's normal in the sense that it's a normal human emotion to feel (same as straight feelings) But conservative, religious countries put strong negative judgements around a normal, human thing which keep many people in the closet hiding their sexuality, having (often unconscious) repressed sexual feelings, and exploring their sexuality

Being gay is normal bro, it's just that stigma prevents people from being open about it or even accepting it in themselves Check out this video if you haven't seen it

Oh that's fucked At least it'll work itself out in the long run

When girls decide who they want they probably have like a lot more criteria than just mutual interests It might not be that they think they're better than you always but im sure that happens 🤔 I'm sure many women do date off status tho

Was it not before? What did you want to say that you couldn't tweet before

Musk used to be a liberal for the most part. I think he got a lot of hate from the left for some things and it caused him to go to the right. Which was honestly sad af. Musks influence is huge

@Emerald I think in terms of attraction its more about conventionally masculine qualities – confidence, leadership, assertiveness, humor etc. it's the same with women too. If a girl is assertive, outspoken, aggressive (even ambitious too), it doesn't always fit the classic 'feminine' image. But I think that's changing tho I don't think girls (generally) dislike being kind, empathetic, sensitive etc. But it doesn't have the sexual attractive pull of what they're looking for in a 'man' If ur speaking non generally it doesn't matter, theres someone for everyone

@Princess Arabia I'd have to respectfully disagree, i think men and women generally go through different challenges and there are certain challenges that many men face that women don't face (and vice versa) Like getting sex or dates, can take quite some effort for the average guy. It's not in simple abundance like it is for many women. Like men generally will almost never have women hit on them, reach out, approach them, dm them etc. It happens but it's rare. Men also have to put 3-5x more effort in a dating profile to get even an okay amount of matches That being said, its a reality but it's easily solved with a bit of effort

Fair. That's meta

Yeah I think a reframe is important here. To an extent it's similar to job hunting. There's gonna be a lot of rejecting and you need a good frame around it. I just see it as part of the process. It's to be expected that only 1-5% of jobs will consider you Lol I think this dovetails nicely with the post on trauma someone made a few days ago here. Like one person might get traumatized from a rejection and another sees 1 rejection just as another number out of x

This what you're advocating for? > In recent years, the Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping Administration's policy has been marked by much harsher policies, including mass surveillance and the incarceration without trial of over one million Uyghurs and other Muslim minority ethnic groups in internment camps... government policies have included forced labor, suppression of Uyghur religious practices, political indoctrination, forced sterilization, forced contraception, and forced abortion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_conflict#:~:text=In recent years%2C the Chinese,ethnic groups in internment camps.

Like if you keep talking to yourself in a desired way, can you certain inner voice that becomes a habit ? It seems very possible Like just like you talk to others, you can take that energy and do it to yourself I think you can create literally the way you fucking speak to yourself 💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

6/19; the problem with hierarchies and tier lists is that they are so subjective and lacking nuance like top characters in a video game? sometimes i see heros that are F tier be rated lowly even though they have niche potential, some people work well on those heros cuz of personal strengths, and you can generally take any hero to high levels with good effort and skill. and sometimes they are false i wonder how much nuance maslow's hierarchy misses because of the way the model is structured i think information inherently might be lacking in nuance or something and in mad cases is subjective or some shit

It's not evolutionary advantageous, but I guess you could say there's are many things humans do that are not evolutionary advantageous

I think because most content is actually optimized for like clicks, engagement It's not fully geared for how can I have the best impact for the viewer

50% have 0?? Damn now for the individual you could say that's a good thing, as your competition is quite ass lol
