I remember you making a point about it as part of your dating advice, to avoid drinking at all. I think a little alcohol can be useful. That's why I brought it up.

I feel like a lack of open mindedness is the problem. Your must have an open heart for the opportunity to really love someone. You only get so many opportunities for a long-term relationships. That's the real shame. I know someone who's one of those rare types who cares more about being drawn to who someone is and less their looks. They got low standards looks wise in fact. I think it's genuinely easier to date when your like that. He's very open minded as a baseline.

If its like an art to you then I can relate. If your bad at dancing, and your ashamed of that, then just get good at it.

Last time I checked, Leo seems to have a bias against alcohol. A little alcohol is social and helps calm the nerves and warms you. And I don't even particularly enjoy alcohol.

Grandmas socks are the worst gift in human history. She knitted those for hours. They itch and I feel terrible.

9 times out of 10 it doesn't go anywhere in my experience. It's almost always a waste.

If your a book freak of course I'm not just imagining it.

Books are high investment and interest is highly specific and personal. Even when you think you nailed their interest they'll probably won't read it. I know a guy who has a PHD in viking history got gifted a book about Viking history and he never read it 😂 Time and time again.

Not in my experience.

Because no one spends 6-12 hours reading a book they aren't interested in. Only they can now what interests them enough to commit the time to a book. Rarely have I ever seen a gifted book actually get read. It's true of me as well as the books I've gifted myself. I see that fucker collecting dust on my mates shelf, begging to know it's purpose in life, unable to just end it all. Please stop gifting people books unless you know what your doing. Your doing the world a disfavor. This needed to be said.

He's got that light skin stare

9/11 for the homeless. Klein/11 if you will.

What are you doing besides social media? You need to fill your day with meaningful things to do. If you try to quit an addiction you should replace it with something constructive.

You just have an utopian bias. Your in an adversial relationship with reality fundamentally. That's the crux of the issue. The pushback is against bad leftist ideas of what men and women are because they are not true. Fundamentally you don't accept what women and survival actually are. Women survival is falling in love with your rapist and raising their kids, stockholm syndrome style. That's how a lot of women survived historically. Leftists see that and want to deny its even there.

It's pretty obvious that academia can't be contemplative if you think about it. It was obvious to me already before experiencing university. It's too inundated with incentives and rules which makes it more scholastic than anything. The fact that you can't make statements without basing it on a source is such a double edged sword. You have to partially outsource your sensemaking to be accepted in academia.
