I didn't, and have never experienced what OP describes. In any relationship, let alone first.

I do not understand. What is your argument that one having compassion for a pedophile's experience condones pedophilia? One sentence.

@No1Here2c right back at ya Love is what it's all about Just wait until you graduate to the colon, the semi-colon, ellipses, hyphens and the long forgotten and rare use of the period!

@No1Here2c heh heh This one's a true space cadet 🚀

It is to indicate a letter is being abbreviated out. Or omitted. It also acts to indicate possession. It can also be a diacritical mark, or glyph - to indicate a letter is pronounced differently to what is custom. Multi-purpose! Plus - the name of it - 'Apostrophe' - is FUCKING COOL. I dunno how others feel about it. But I LIKE it!

It is one thing to say we need to be more conscious of what behaviour points to a potentially bad mate. And another to blame the victim. The line of responsibility needs to be expounded upon clearer imo. Because women & men are responsible for actions they take. But the consequences and outcomes aren't guaranteed or deserved (in this case, abuse isn't guaranteed when someone appears Machiavellian/dark triad). Moreover, men also pick toxic women. Beauty blinds us to red flags. Like women, men need to become aware of their bias to avoid abuse from women. Both sexes do the same thing in different domains. If you read my post carefully, I am not disagreeing with the argument in question. Merely pointing out the wordying could be cleaner. One doesn't need to reduce their own integrity in this way, as it isn't the only way to attract women. In fact - you will avoid attracting a women with attachment issues and pathologies if you do avoid this. Not saying there aren't a subset of women who are attracted to dark triad traits.

Hahahaha 🤣 I can manage the ears. Possibly an inked on nose with eyeliner. Whiskers. T-Rex arms. But the tail? Fuck. Those tails... Like hauling a dump truck of thicccc

Regardless of women and what they are attracted to, the point around phrasing/clarity I raised still stands.

For men only? 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Legitimise what?

I made a comment here that overlaps with some of what you speak of (just to contribute to discussion):

Indeed - I supposed the mentally healthy + mature & stable clause would screen those on anti-psyches or SSRIs. ADHD meds are a common one. Anti-anxiety meds too. Intake forms usually have you disclose what medications you are on, and also list medical conditions. I'd assume that's SOP for this sort of thing. Although, considering the pioneering nature of this retreat... there probably is no SOP 🙃 just identifying hazards prior to risk management.

Are there known contraindications for this substance? I am assuming it has some research and history. I suppose even answering may give clues you do not wish to give. Clashes with chemicals can be deadly.

Fuck man, I admire the diligence - Truly! You could also try it with just glucose. True scientist I gotta say, you were the main inspiration for me purchasing a quality air monitor. There was smoke haze over Melbourne 2 days ago, my eyes went bloodshot. Nose sniffling, lungs hurting and slight headache. The haze was barely perceptible to the senses. But my air monitor was pinging alerts, indicating the air quality was 'very high' in pollutants. I am not as diligent/anxious as yourself with this stuff, I just do what I can - but it made me think about China and India. They have some of the worst air quality on earth....

I can understand that - but think about all the rest of the pure SHIT in coke. These chemicals, excluding sugar, could possibly be contributing.
