You mean do really hot looking guys with success and game still occasionally pick up noticeably less attractive women for easy sex?
Uh yeah, in the same way hot women can easily use desperate men for foodie calls, gifts. etc.

It's the age old act of using fellow human beings as recreational utilities.
The hotties do not always require another hottie to get the results they want.
Sometimes they just look for an easy conquest for the ego points + rewards and call it a night.
Socializing can be exhausting for them too...

This, unfortunately, can give the approached underdogs the wrong idea that they are super hot themselves just because an exceptionally attractive person hooked up with them. Far from it. The underdogs just got used and dismissed out of convenience like a disposable cup.

What made you lose complete sympathy/respect for a friend?

Only case that's happened at the start of this year is coworker/friend of mine continuing to bellyache over her "lack" of dating options in men. She's an alright friend to me (as a gay man), but I've witnessed her performance trying to keep guys attracted to her and it's like watching a train wreck happen in front of me. Mostly her fault considering where she finds them and what her admittedly superficial priorities are. She keeps picking guys who will logically have little incentive to be exclusive with her and then acts confused when they do not want to be a boyfriend.

Meanwhile her brother, who I have also known for years, is legit happy living the solo life. He hooks up once in a while, but he's never really prioritized settling down. He's one of those types that's a hobbyist first, workaholic second (enjoys his job), and somewhere like 6th or 7th he's a romantic. Like dating is not a top priority for him and he's still fulfilled by his other interests. And his sister can not stand that. She's like the polar opposite of him and has been trying to sabotage his victories out of jealous spite. She's so butthurt about him not having the same insecurity that she's tried starting nasty rumors about her own brother so local girls won't hang with him. Did not work, but it's still a foul that she tried.

I told her I was straight up ashamed of her schadenfreude towards a family member who's not doing the same to her. Her bro has generally been supportive of her goals. I also told her she's in some serious need of self reflection over her dating dysfunctions if she's so casually dumps on a guy for being happy just because she's not. That's a red flag to other men like a fucking neon billboard...

It's not enough that I would dump her as a friend, but she's made it clear she's her own worst enemy.

That giant cat monster from High Guardian Spice seemed super out of place and suspect.

Different brands of feminists have not agreed for decades (and trans issues have had little to with it as a whole).

Ethics has been a far more heated discussion among advocates of feminism for years. The contention has mostly been between human rights advocates who identify as feminists and gaslighting radicals who were really only out for themselves. Unfortunately, ALL of these people can be classified as feminists. Obviously people who are legit about protecting the rights of all human beings while keeping the receipts are not going to get along with grifters who exploit victimhood and ironically preach sexism as "empowerment".

For example: there's actually a ton of women rights activists who are also mothers that are not fans of policies that immediately presume their sons are perpetrators until proven otherwise. They're even less happy to hear about proposed legislation that sidesteps bothering to prove innocence altogether (a common position among certain other types of feminists). And yes, those other types DO count as feminists too. So it should not be shocking to hear these differing subgroups are at constant odds with each other.

Some of the biggest opponents to new legislation packaged as "pro-feminism" are educated feminists who are legit about gender equality, not grift. And by educated, I mean credentials OUTSIDE of women's studies, feminist talks, etc. There are literally female elites in power who are like nope to a lot of the extremist radfem agendas. You just don't hear much from or about them because Michael's point was correct: capitalism LOVES all the free advertising, recruitment, and passes offered by high level feminism. By nature, some capitalism is all about grift. And so is some politics.

Woman on dating site: 'Hope your dick is bigger than my dog's'

It makes it sound like her dog is the ex she's comparing you to...

Men, just run from this shit.

Jeff Dunham is no longer running the show. The puppets are.

Necessary for survival and emotional fulfillment? No.
Can it potentially enhance your emotional fulfillment if you and your partners are competent about it? Yes.

However, keep in mind the latter is always more work, particularly for committed partners. Not everyone needs that higher scale of intimacy to feel great and satisfied. Some people do.

Don't sweat it. She's admittedly doing a huge favor for many black men.

Likely by design.

This is the scenario.

I have a friend who wants me to go out and eat every single weekend. His dad's a doctor and bought him his house. He makes twice as much as me. But whenever we go out to eat the first thing he tells the server is, "We'll be having separate checks".

I'm like bitch, this was your idea. You have way more money than me and no bills. Why am I even here?

Because you don't stand up for yourself.

You're basically supposed to defecate at least once every few days. If you don't and you lack any typical contributing health conditions, your dietary intake might need consideration. You're likely either not getting enough to eat or your digestive system is horribly off.

Like if it's regular for you to only take a shit once a week...you're in trouble. Heads up.

Most men do not bother to get married in the west, period.

Like barely any of the most attractive eligible bachelors are bothering to propose anymore either. They know they can get plenty of milk without buying the cow thanks to current American culture promoting the phenomena. And those high scale guys tend to influence other men by example, including the younger generation. Both western men and women willingly contribute to maintain these social trends that disincentivizes marriage. So there's little sense in either group complaining about what they basically choose to facilitate one way or another.

There's plenty of valid reasons most men are not rushing to get married in America anymore, no longer collectively suffering an identity crisis when they live without matrimony (unlike prior generations). Bachelor life in the current west is real cushy and competes HARD against married life now, no cap. Many single men in the U.S. have figured out how to still get dates, sex, and emotional fulfillment without a marriage contract. And they do this with modern women's consent.

So if some guys in that part of the world still get hung up on traditional naming conventions enough that they get turned off from pursuing marriage...oh well, don't worry about it. They're not anywhere near a majority. Most men in the west are not bothering to get hitched anyway. Not even the ones who literally get chased by eager brides-to-be.

Can you do a backflip?

Of course I can. Right before I get sent to the emergency room.

Vengeance can lead to justice (ie: taking a violent criminal down before they harm again). However, not all vengeance is innately justified. The motivations for revenge are often arbitrary and do not always abide by morality. In many instances it can simply be reckless and cruel, like a vicious person seeking vengeance on a former victim who escaped and snitched.

Heroic vengeance does exist, but it's not a common event because the type of person who usually performs it is uncommon themselves.
Many people who seek revenge are merely doing it out of petty rage.

Don't worry about losing the bet that there's an existence after death.

If you're wrong, you won't care.

fake religion created by a psychopath

Playing devil's advocate: that could be argued for many ideologies, even longstanding popular ones.

However, I believe there comes a point in which the happiness and healthy productivity of households who have innocently practiced said beliefs for years without issue should take precedence.

If it's not encouraging belligerence or turning families into monsters, I really do not care if a holiday had tainted origins. How it's practiced today matters more. And I have not seen many people kill each other over Kwanzaa...

If this is a widely known decades old tradition within the nation, why wasn't the parent keeping the kid out of the way...?

Getting ghosted after a first date.

Not everyone who gets ghosted deserves it. However, sometimes it's an unintentional blessing when someone toxic opted out peacefully instead of leeching, domineering, hypercriticizing, or destroying your life to meet their self-centered needs.

Not everyone who ghosts you was worth mourning the "loss".
Sometimes they just did you a favor by showing you they stink at integrity up front.

"I don't have time to workout"

Translation: "I don't want to workout."

If you want to work out, you inevitably make time for it.

"Nonono my life is just too busy to find time to workout."

Yes, because you don't want to workout...
You don't value the results of it for yourself, so you refuse to adjust your schedule for it. It's okay to be honest.

Condolences to the son for being related to that thing.

If he had any sense, that incident should have been plenty of reason for him to question putting distance away from her himself.

I never had anything that crazy. I just kept meeting women who would chat for a bit before saying "My phone will be shut off soon I'll need some help if you want to keep texting".

In other words, they were just looking for someone to leech money off of while screwing other partners.

How do women pee while they're pregnant?

The mother has the baby jump out for a moment and place their order while she runs to the restroom. The ovaries are handlebars for the child while the mother's body is in motion.

Is there any part of a woman that isn't fetishized?

According to this interviewer, it is "misogynistic" that we have these height standards. But isn't the correct term "misandristic", since it's women who perpetuate the height standards in M/F relationships?

I really would not call it either, because it's a matter of preferences. And a person can have their dating preference WITHOUT it being innately rooted in hatred or fear. For example a guy who's generally polite and respectful towards female peers in his social circle is NOT automatically a woman-hater just because he's disinterested in dating obese women. He can still have nontoxic platonic relationships with obese women. He's just not hopping on the gravy train to date them, he's looking for someone else for that (the same right that the women typically have). Implying he was automatically toxic for that would also be saying that the women he passed up due to preference were somehow entitled to his time and he wronged them for not stepping up to give them a chance (which would be ridiculous). Nobody's entitled to dates. Nobody's a monster for maintaining their preferences in the more intimate areas of their life.

I do not hate on women having preferences regarding the men they're willing to date. That is their call, just like men can be equally selective in whom they date. However, I'm never interested in listening to anyone (men or women) bellyache when attractive partners don't call them back. If they lead with entitlement, are unwilling to self reflect, and refuse to even try bettering themselves as partners to the preferred sex, they should not expect much success. That habitual aversion to self analysis is a pivotal reason why they can not recognize good partners or know what to do with them anyway...

It just looks like another version of a cheap ass "bowl cut". Some families can either only afford DIY haircuts or their kids grow out their hair so fast a simple cut is just more practical.

Being actively against such a generic hairstyle is basically criticizing low income households for what they can manage. It's a classist stance...

I would first research to see if there's any underlying "presumptions" or unintended messages people of said culture could jump to before committing to getting specifically inked. Something as trivial as skin tattoos can end up being bigger investments than some eager people realize.

I have known peers who lived in the U.S. and acted like big fans of their cultural heritage from other continents despite not experiencing any of it in person. Then they made some costly decisions to "celebrate" said heritage without doing some research only to find out during travel that "their people" in said other countries rolled their eyes and laughed at such modifications as "typical American" ignorance.

Not saying that's your deal here. I just suggest you check around before getting certain body mods and be honest with yourself about how far you're really willing to take it. Maybe examine how things for people turned out after taking the same plunge. What changes can happen, what maintenance if any is involved, etc.

However, I'm never interested in listening to any of them bellyache when attractive guys don't call them back. It's the same deal either way. An intelligent well-grounded woman already understands this and does not waste her time bitching about it because she acknowledges women can have their specific preferences too. She understands what goes around can come around and demanding the rules be changed is another waste of time.
