That definitely happens, but those are not most cases.

Why should a man prioritize the need of a woman? What if the opposite was stated, a woman should prioritize the need of a man, how does that sound? That's very inequitable thinking.

@ivankiss Off topic.

Bill burr never misses.

@Peter Miklis Bill burr has a good take on it.

@Karmadhi Hilarious

@Valach Tell her explicitly that you are not interested in a relationship with her and most likely will never be. No. You should leave after sex if you don't plan to have a relationship. When you get tired of nailing hot strangers or stop having fun. You don't owe women a monogamous relationship, you should be clear with your communication to minimize collateral damage.

Sounds good to me.

@Valach Meditation / contemplation.

@Shin This is one of the main reasons why some men develop a deep animosity towards women, because they don't have any compassion or understanding of the female experience. Which also applies to women when it comes to the male experience. Unfortunately most men and women are completely submerged in their own survival and care very little for the experience of other sex.

@Natasha Nobody is pressuring anybody, if you are an adult you decide what to do. The problem is when people start fearmongering or spreading misinformation regarding COVID on the forum despite there being a clear warning on the guidelines of the forum not to do that. Literally the first guideline: ''Basic guidelines for quality posting: No conspiracy theories: Covid hoax, 9/11 inside job, David Icke stuff, reptilians, Pizzagate, QAnnon, pedophilia accusations, the Jewish question, holocaust denial, etc.''

@Tangerinedream From a relative point to view, it's empirically correct to say that most hetero man are mainly attracted to beautiful, attractive women. That is an observable, provable statement. If you as a woman define your sense of self ( which you should not ) from how attractive you are to men, then you will inevitably have insecurity issues because both man and women deteriorate exponentially and lose their physical attractiveness as they grow older until they eventually die, all forms eventually collapse. The ''value'' you are referring to is not part of reality, you can directly intuit how ''value'' is merely a figment of your imagination. If you understand this and you ground your sense of self on reality instead of your finite appearance, your fear of aging will dissolve.

The long-term solution for the fear of aging for both men and women is to ground their sense of self on the entirety of reality instead of deriving it from their appearance. Also, the belief of determining your value based on how attractive you are to the opposite sex has to be observed and recognized as falsehood.

@Intraplanetary You are not engaging in skepticism, what you are doing is called anti-intellectualism which many not very bright people are victim of.

@Intraplanetary Very mature and insightful comment.

@Intraplanetary You cannot even begin to comprehend the depth of your dull-wittedness. It was not Steve the dullard in his back yard who manufactured the vaccine. And it is not, by any means, ''controversial'' you are just drowning in anti-intellectualism. Rigorous and thorough methodologies with the help of hundreds of years of medical knowledge were used for the development of this vaccine and future vaccines. Again, do what you think is appropriate but do not fearmonger and spread stupidity on the forum.

@Intraplanetary Do you understand that humans have been making different vaccines and that you already have been vaccinated multiple times and that humans will continue making vaccines for different diseases? Is that a concept you can comprehend or is that too complex?

I see, you are the equivalent of a flat earther. No matter what information I provide or how legitimate the methodology and process used to derive such information is, you will refute it because you are drowning in anti-intellectualism. Which is not surprising at all, you are not the only one. Anyways, do what you think appropriate but don't spread misinformation or fearmonger about the vaccine. Somebody else did that not too long ago and the thread was blocked by a moderator.

@Intraplanetary Healthy people take the vaccine in order not to infect somebody who might not be as healthy (even if you don't die from COVID, it can still have negative health consequences on healthy people). The same reason why you wear a mask if you are healthy, it's not for you, is for the wellbeing of the entire country. That is an astonishingly selfish and fatuous ideological position. By the way, if you were born in a semi developed country, chances are you have been vaccinated multiple times already which makes the fear for this vaccine illogical and irrational. This is not the first nor the last vaccine human beings will make.

Would we have the countless systems that prevent and reduce human suffering if everybody adopted that mentality? You don't have to care about anybody, but caring for people is an inherent byproduct of psychological developement, the more developed one is, the more compassion one tends to have for others and vice versa the more underdeveloped one is, the less one tends to care for others or the environment.

@Zeroguy Yes, pretty typical self-deception mechanism with older women.

@hyruga So you marry the first chick you are able to have sex with?

@MatteO22 ''Does moralization lead to wholeness as you suggested?'' That is a question not an affirmation. That's why it has a question mark at the end.

@MatteO22 Do this next time you play video games: Instead of judging yourself for playing video games, become fully conscious while doing it, put your attention in your body while playing video games and see what happens. My prediction is if you actually do this exercise a couple of times you will not use video games as an escape and simultaneously you will enjoy them like you never have in your entire life. Give it a try.

@MatteO22 Question, can you enjoy video games in your case without being addicted to them? Is that a possibility? Does moralization lead to wholeness as you suggested or does consciousness of this moment / contemplation lead to wholeness? Funnily enough, moralization usually leads to more unhealthy habits which does not mean that a bad habit should be recognized.
