Why do I get the vibe that you have a long long long laundry list of what you want in a woman of your choosing? And I think that I missed the spiritual part somewhere. But kudos to you for being firm on your choice.

This helps me understand masculinity and femininity better lol.

There is an allure to it. But it's not healthy long term. The charisma can be duping though. The attraction can be strong. This is a controversial thing that I think men hate.

Lovely explanation.

Ya'll know any Leo's video on motivation? I have been looking for it. Please share. Thanks.

My therapist also encourages me to journal privately like this. So that helps to deal with childhood trauma. An example.

My Spiritual principle. This resonates with me. To live content with small means. To seek elegance rather than luxury And refinement rather than fashion To be worthy not respectable And wealthy not rich To study hard, think quietly, talk gently Act frankly, to listen to stars, birds and babes And sages with an open heart, to bear all cheerfully Do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word to let the spiritual Unbidden and unconscious Grow up through the common This is to be my symphony

I think Jordan Peterson has a genuine leaning towards Christianity. He has spoken about Christianity many many times. I don't know why he supports religion so much. It's strange and weird sometimes. -

You hit the nail right on the head! -
I don't like Andrew Tate's part in the video but I like Leo's part in the video.

Some people deliberately seek misinformation. How will you heal bias? It's a mind disease. (even if you remove all misinformation and disinformation channels, bias will still remain) -
Reminds me of this.

A conscious woman won't be able to tolerate them for too long. She will be with him for some time and then get tired of his abuse and move on. These women often have their own traumas and issues because of which they stay with that sort of men. It's an abusive dynamic mostly. Why would you care to use them as examples? Even Bill Gates has a wife. Former president Barack Obama has a wife. Why not use better role models? There are so many good men out there with a wholesome personality and they have a wife and a long marriage. Why aren't these good examples to you? I was once in a relationship where the guy wanted to choke me. The relationship ended. It's just like that. These relationships aren't ideal or hopeful or romantic. Easy come easy go. She will marry the criminal then face a boatful of problems and find a way to escape. It never ends well. You can watch Ted Bundys ex girlfriend episode on YouTube and the stress she went through. He even had a daughter. It's quite complicated actually. I used to fantasize that I'll be perfectly okay with an abuser as long as I please him. This is just fantasy. In reality the consequences are quite ugly. And most women find some way to run away in the end. There is an allure with bad boys - the protection allure - the feeling that "he can protect me because he is so tough he takes care of the baddies on the street"... The problem is that the guy who appears so tough to other people can one day direct the same violence to his wife or girlfriend. Women want the protection part but they forget that this is an unconscious drive in men. If he can kill someone else, he can kill you too. It's like sleeping with a crocodile. Feels good that he is strong enough to protect until you're his prey. In real life it's not good being around that type of masculine energy. I have been there., this rude abusive asshole that I spent my time with and he used to threaten to kill me multiple times. I thought he would change — another fantasy of mine. Eventually I dumped him and got sick of his ways. He was handsome and cute and he knew game, he would get a new woman anytime a woman dumped him. How long does it last? They keep building and raking up their rap sheet. I pity him because he is doing much worse now. He never wanted to put in the work to improve himself. I moved on, found a wonderful husband and I'm happy. It happens because I was a bit immature at the time. But it doesn't ring a ding ding anymore for me. I can never be attracted to someone like that anymore. I sort of outgrew that. It was a whim, a fancy, a phase. Wanted to feel coddled by him even though he was a bad boy. It was an allure a misadventure. But I got tired of it. You'll see that some of these men are handsome. They got looks going for them. Then they have this toughness which is not real. It's like how some women attract with fake eyelashes and fake boobs. That sort of thing. These men have a fake tough persona they put on to attract women. Immature women fall for it and then fall out of it as well. That fake tough guy persona is bullshit. It's nice for some time and quite attractive and alluring but it rapidly unravels into a joke as reality sinks in. It's the best example of click bait. Fake promotion. So when real life challenges come up, these guys are the first ones to bail out. That's when the woman is confronted with the reality of her bad choice and she has to make a decision to move on.

Foam earplugs don't work for me. Extremely uncomfortable. Keep ears blocked.

I turn on the fan at the highest speed to increase white noise. But this increases the electric bill. Yet it's an effective option to block noise. Thankfully I have very decent neighbors, no noise. I also have noise canceling glass so I can't hear what they do.

How is AI different from the human mind/human intelligence?
-
Well that's about power dynamics. Even men don't tolerate very bossy masculine type of women for years. We always have to be demure and soft to appeal to men. I guess it goes both ways. Vulnerability in men is frowned upon, strength in women is frowned upon.

I never ran into that kind of a guy. I mostly dated dominant men because they were more interesting. It's the leadership quality in a guy that attracts me because I get to learn something from him. Also I crave this feeling of belongingness. That's how I found my husband. He gives me that containment. If a man feels weak, I don't try to judge him, in fact I try to offer him space to cry out his feelings. Men often have their vulnerable side suppressed by social factors. He should have someone to cry too. I usually offer him space and comfort to open up his feelings without judgement. I think because of this suppression, men don't connect very easily with their own emotions and that's what leads to the nice guy syndrome in the first place. But if a man can break out of that suppression, he can learn to express himself more fully and openly. If a guy feels that he is infantile or incompetent, that's probably a self confidence issue and that only gets better when he improves his overall self esteem.
