No where did I make a claim to any opinion regarding this. I did not say attractiveness does not matter. I don't really understand your point, unless this is some sort of new insight for you?

Just being helpful. Nothing in life is 'have to'. Choose to 🙂

Precisely. Discernment, not judgement.

It is something you will learn, I assure you. How old are you? Looksmaxing is not new 🤣🤣🤣🤣 technology doesn't change vanity as a concept. Just introduces new tools. It's rebranding to sell you some more shit. To sell you some more 'lack' so you don't feel whole. That's the 'technology'.

Some elements, sure - but this simply does not hold true for everyone. 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' You do realise looksmaxing has been around for eons? This is the standard play women have adopted (self imposed or not) forever. There is nothing new in looksmaxing. Personally - I would watch out for the quoted statement turning into an excuse.

Hahaha, the spirituality-flavoured foreplay. My God, I can't stop laughing MY SIDES

Are you saying more lube is needed before I jam the cock in? Gotta take it step by step, easy does it I was not disagreeing with @Joshe, to be clear

You can go the other way - you can dissolve it all into (erase object) subject-subject or (erase subject) object-object. Ultimately, you get to there is no centralized experience. There is no ego (no self, no privileged point of view), or there is all ego (nonduality 'all is mind / awareness'). Intimacy with no separation. The apparent structure of experience can be collapsed in both directions toward a nondual state. It is a collapse of all distinction that made the question meaningful. In the end - its both. All me. No me. This is getting to endgame where most discussions end because language dies trying to add any elaboration. Pushing further and further with words ends up confusing rather than clarifying.

Need to differentiate between feminism and misandry. I lot of flat out disgusting misandry is smuggled in under the guise of 'feminism'.

Carbon X1 reporting in (the conformity shame) Tax write-off and got it on an end-of-life discount due to next gen lineup coming out Gotta admit, I am a grubby bitch. The black matt really leaves evidence of my greasy little digits...

@Breakingthewall @James123 This debate depends how you interpret 'experience' and what meaning the word receives. I think you are using the same term with differing meanings.

It is proper punctuation. Nothing more. It isn't a tone setting element of a sentence. I notice that many people of the younger generations see full stops as a tonal implication of 'firmness' 'finality' or strict conviction. It is not so - but lackadaisical internet speaking can make it appear that way

What makes the first impression on you when listening to a tune, rhythm or melody? Do you play music, or dance? Many dancers and drummers I know tend toward noticing rhythm first, movement & beat. Other musicians hear the emotional crescendos of the melody & sequential pitches. I do not know if there is any pattern to be found here. I am a dancer and only ever learned some drums and a touch of bass guitar (rhythm). I have always heard the beat and rhythm first. It catches me before the melody. I feel the beat in my body as movement, I feel the melody as an emotional weight in my chest and heart 😃

OP this is what you DON'T want to do - this is thinking that focusing on looks will mean you have success across all attention/attraction domains. The above is part of the PSL internet black pill rhetoric. Balance.

Out of curiosity - how many mediums have you experienced in the domain of painting? Or drawing? It took me many, many years to even get to the level I am currently at with oils, and I do not consider myself an expert or master at all. Below is oil on canvas, and a biro/paper exercise. This took years of training hands on with a master. Although, I did have a lot of inherent talent to begin with. I fundamentally disagree it is easy to do, even comparitively to making a game. Totally different domains. Skill assessment is done through wildly different axis. @Hardkill I agree regarding the masters you listed. They were not recognised fully at the time due to how much their works skullfucked people's brains in terms of what was defined as 'high art'. This whole topic is very, very subjective & nuanced. Really? I never thought of it as ego. It assuredly could be viewed us such. It feels ego-less in the state of creation. Like i am lost and possessed by the paint and the canvas. Like "I" so to speak, no longer exist. It all comes through me in the name of beauty.

I definitely did not receive your original words as seeing women as purely sexual objects. I reflected on your post and saw the wider pattern of both sexes viewing each other as objects 🙏🙃 You have an awesome perspective imo, as it relates across domains. Wholesome and always open to new concepts/perspectives. I agree regarding sex. It is much more fundamental than women want to acknowledge, in my opinion. I have strange views on this arena that most women hate me for - but I firmly believe women need to put effort into ensuring they are open, engaged and looking forward to sex with their man. It is a need for men. Just as emotional engagement is a need for women (from men). I consider it part of my responsibility in a relationship to ensure I am firmly in a 'sexy' mindset. The above - women feeling in the 'mood' for sex - and who is responsible for that, is an issue. Women need to take charge and prioritise sex and romance. Sometimes when I feel I am not in the mood (or ambivalent), I won't say no. Because I know if I surrender 99% of the time I'm going to love it! Like exercise. Sometimes I feel a bit tired at the end of the day. I sort of cannot be fucked. But I never regret it 😁 but this takes confidence, respect and firm boundaries to operate like this.

I might need some additional context to answer more cleanly; do you mean this from a romantic angle, or perhaps more broad as it applies to all relationships?

@Joseph Maynor @Ramasta9 I adore the sounds of birds and nature. The rich texture! I especially love when music is recorded in unusual settings; Led Zeppelin's When the Levee Breaks (recorded in a hallway with mics at the top of the stairs) and many of Fever Ray's recordings are performed outdoors. The soundstage is as full as the music, melody, rhythm and silence in between. Music is like a metaphor for the ontology of the universe to me. Beat. Space. Emptiness. Fullness. All at the same time. Both and none. The space that surrounds the music and how it is recorded is felt and sensed in such a visceral way. But this is just another element of music I enjoy. I always notice the space between sounds when out in nature listening to the river swim and birds sing.

@Eskilon probably viewing other people as tools to masterbate with, rather than living beings (outside of value providing), might help. I do not mean this exclusively regarding sex either. But this is against the current mainstream narrative (not saying you subscribe to this mentality 🙏). I think many people these days do not know how to have relationships. Family, sexually, mutually. We have inoculated ourselves against this knowing with modern technology & the insular bubbles around us it creates. Even the reductionary way people look at each other to provide some form of value exchange is pretty sad. To give and ask nothing in return. Motherhood teaches women this. But less and less women choose this sacrifice. Society is probably in process working out balance, with the pendulum swinging to extremes before settling to a balanced rest. Finding our feet, so to speak. I hope, at least. Perhaps I am the eternal optimist 😊

@Nick_98 wtf this is deranged 💀🤣

Let's just throw away our sovereignty. Sounds good!

It's this crazy independence epidemic, as a core element. Independence is the new definition for what it means to be healthy and empowered. This isn't necessarily true; you are still fully engaged in a social system, benefiting from the collective. Nothing about an extreme is healthy. We won't always BE independent. We WILL need help, eventually, or at points on our lives. As you age up this becomes clearer and clearer. This is healthy. Needed. Women need to make space for men in their lives. They need to learn to accept the abundance and providing a man can bring; and not view it as a threat to their safety. Not view it as control (financial, physical etc). This is a tough lesson in balance. When this balance isn't had you see men giving up due to women cucking them and killing their natural masculinity. I see many women these days completely uncomfortable with simply receiving a compliment from a man.
