Very true. It may seem like an oversight I don't think so. The reason it's not mentioned is because relationships and pick up are way different. Relationships are easy to get into but pick up is hard. Pick up is about quality, quantity, and speed. Whereas the average person stumbles into relationships all the time. An average guy should have no problem finding an average girl to form a relationship with. The problem is when average guys tries to get the top 1% of women through the promise of pick-up.

I was wondering the same thing! 21-year-old Dean Withers is an incredibly skilled debater in this video. A man and woman arguing for the opposite gender’s leadership is funny to watch. (Can't wait for what you have to say 😁)

Very cool. And deep. I think words are cool. Does the average non- European mind see language as less good?

No

Seven Scientific Reasons for Sports Fandom: Vicarious Achievement: Sports allow us to experience the intensity of competition and high stakes without having to risk anything ourselves. Tribalism: Humans have an innate need to belong to something larger than themselves; sports teams provide a pro-social way to satisfy this need. The Halo Effect: We tend to assume that because an athlete is excellent at their sport, they must be equally amazing in all other areas of life, which often leads to disappointment. Catharsis: Sports offer a socially acceptable outlet for adults to express intense emotions like frustration or euphoria. The Illusion of Certainty: In a complex and confusing world, sports provide a predictable structure with a clear winner and loser every 90 minutes. Old-fashioned Inspiration: Watching athletes overcome limits gives us hope that we, too, can achieve our own personal dreams. A Shared Frame of Reality: Sports act as a unifying force, allowing millions of people to focus on and care about the same event simultaneously.

This is relevant here. First prompt: men are better leaders than women. Watch how 20 Maga women argue for this claim while the liberal guy is against it!

I do appreciate the reply @Natasha Tori Maru especially since you are ever articulate and intelligent with your answers. If the answer to larger families means capatilism has to end I would be happy since I hate capitalism too. So the disconnect is that even the most liberal and anti-capitalist people in the first world celebrate women's advancement and not stay at home moms or large families. The first world sees women's advancement as the ultimate good. But is it? If society collapses so more women can play the professional ego game with the men. Is that a win? Poor countries have more community, more kids, but also from a first world perspective are much more sexist and surpessive. If that a good trade off? I don't know The answers maybe We need to grow babies in test tubes or something.

Probably lol

Careful what you wish for. If you completely cease to idolize women you won't want to be in a relationship with one at all. Then you will be lonely. Some idealization is healthy. Or if you want you can completely deconstruct the ideas of male vs female, relationships, and sex.

YES AND... I agree gratitude is great, I'd add that disagrement is also ok as long as it's done with respect and to clarify an area of contention so both parties can come away with more knowledge, perspective, and understanding. That's what stage yellow is. Otherwise right on my dude. I feel like we are operating on similar wavelengths and glad you made this post.

I thought you enjoyed "raw naked truth" 😉. All kidding aside, I enjoyed the dialogue and interaction. What I've learned over the years is that we truly are all the same in so many ways. Peace dude

Great question. I'm happy to be challenged and proven wrong too if it's warranted. I hate to sound like a sexist conservative but if we remove gender roles and encourage women to do what men have historically done then there is many benefits to that (like more fulfilled women, female perspectives in more sectors, maybe better healthcare for certain demographics) however there is always unintended consequences. I suggest one of those consequences is the deep existential threat of sub replacement fertility. Men can't get pregnant after all and if the portion of the population that can is busy doing other things then the outcome seems obvious. So far we haven't found a good way to increase birthrates in the 1st world and saying it's because women don't have enough resources doesn't seem like the correct answer since historically and in the 3rd world women have way more kids whith much less resources. I find it odd that even talking about this taboo in most cases (except with the far right groups, who I detest). Also why is it ok to say and broadcasted everywhere that fast food, porn, and video games have made men lazy, weak, entitled, not interested in sex or families. But any criticism of female behavior that resulted from the excesses of modern day life is considered taboo and sexist?

Let us know what is really bothering you. Maybe we can help! Remember no matter how tough life gets the people around you are willing to care, help, and love you. Just reach out when you are ready. Peace bro

Thanks for the feedback "ZEN AF" but you are proving my point. Classic online disinhibition in full effect here. Have some respect and share joy and you will notice you will be happier and your life will get better. I'm willing to bet if you have time to be nasty on this forum there are many things in your life you'd wish to improve. The solution to all your problems is kindness and love. Hope it goes well for you.

On point, you really do have great ideas and a skill with words. I would add that while silence can imply agreement, we also need to practice not automatically reacting to things we disagree with. This is a classic toxic parenting and leadership style where negative behavior is accidentally rewarded with attention. When a child or team member learns that acting out is the only way to get a response, they keep doing it. A good parent or leader intentionally reacts to good behavior with more enthusiasm and attention than bad. Perhaps this is a skill we can practice cultivating here so that this forum can become less toxic and also helps us be better members of our communities IRL. If we encourage good behavior, instead of ignore it, maybe by asking genuine questions, we get more of it and actually learn about where other users are coming from in greater detail. This is what collaborative and constructive group dynamics looks like. There's a great short book by an Australian author called The Advice Trap by Michael Bungay Stanier that talks about this I really liked. Thanks for your time @Natasha Tori Maru!

I appreciate the sentiment and your commitment to the truth. However, I wonder if you are this bold in real life. If you treat people offline with more restraint, then this unfiltered online persona isn't actually genuine. True authenticity means treating people online with the same respect we show them face-to-face. Let's not lose sight of the fact that real truth is ultimately loving and beautiful, not intentionally harsh.

Just for a different perspective than what's politically correct in liberal circles but cheering for women's advancement is cheering for an sub replacement fertility rate. Who cares if women can finally be doctors and politicians when there aren't any people left to govern or heal?

Definitely not, she'll probably never forget it either

Glad you thought the clip was good too!

Excellent post and something that is needed to be heard on online forums. Online disinhibition effect brings out the worst in us. The nameless and faceless nature of the internet makes us forget we are talking to a human who is a lot more alike to us than different. Collaboration on ideas, questions (instead of brow beating), and "yes and" statements are much more persuasive than arguing. Argument merely increases defensiveness and inhibiting true learning and change.

That's great! cut out junk food and notice up to 80% of your suffering may just just simply disappear. Junkies take heroin to make all their problems disappear for a short while. Proof that what we put in our bodies changes our outlook/lives. Proper nutrition is the healthy and sustainable version of having better outlook and brain function.

Yes acceptance is essential too. My point is that the mind doesn't suffer as much if the body is healthy. If you are already have a healthy lifestyle ignore my comment.

Great question because we all feel like this at some point in our lives. Plenty of exercise, proper diet, and consistent sleep are the first things you should do. This helps your body and mind to be in good health and resilience to face the challenges of life.

Sorry to hear that you are going through this. If everyone could get easy sex than it wouldn't be a thing worth having, or flaunting. The good news is that even the most desperate of people find partners. Don't give up and eventually you might find someone going through a similar life circumstance who you can relate to. The longer you have to wait the more rewarding the pay off will be.
