I am only going to post one last time since some people still don’t understand that the female AT had the authority to move that player out of her way.
I won’t do it again. It’s sad I even have to explain this.

The fact that incels insist the “average” woman is getting “flown out” or partying in expensive nightclubs or being solicited by celebrities betrays that they’re guilty of what they accuse women of: drastically over-inflating what “average” means.

You’ll get Republicans on here like “regulations put small business owners out of business 😡” and like, yeah, I’m kind of fine with your small business not being allowed to sell leaded baby food. I think it’s a good thing you can’t give babies lead

The past couple of weeks online have been like:
You are a useless eater, and shouldn’t bother walking outside with a mask& a cane you stupid whore.
Please talk to someone if you feel like killing yourself. You can always reach out.

Disabled Person: I can do this. Ableist: Then you're not really disabled. You're just faking, which is offensive to actual disabled people.

Have a female client with ADHD who thinks she’s also autistic (high probability as they are more than 50% likely to co-occur).
She showed me the NHS initial assessment form, it asks “Do you have a special interest in trains, cars, birds?”
Why are we still stuck on a very specific profile of an autistic person, usually a specific type of male?
Special interests can manifest so differently depending on your identity and cultural context. You can have a special interest in ANYTHING.

These “I have a theory” posts are getting ridiculous.
I have a theory.
If you read the fucking published science you’d know brain damage was a consequence of Covid & you would only be surprised at the entire world lining up to get spanked in the head repeatedly until they die.
I have a theory that, since Covid, people have increasingly lost the capacity to emotionally regulate themselves and have largely turned to unconscious energy vampirism as a result. as a spiritual person, never in my life have I felt the need to protect my energy from THIS many people, THIS often.
People are truly not well. You can feel it everywhere.

I love how the advice for girls version is just "lower standards expect less you don't need to like him but you do have go out with him."
The first post was all about how boys can make an effort to be more pleasing to potential mates and the reply is like "not getting murderer vibes? Say yes to that date."
The biggest problem in our culture is that parents and society do not think they can make boys do anything; so the solution is always to tell girls they have to make due with less, and change their parameters. No one is ever telling the boys to go out with girls they don't like, lol
Attention Young Women:
I am surrounded by 20ish-year-old guys who want to date and get married. They are smart, capable, hard working and cute. They're hesitant to ask girls out or don't know where to find the good ones. If you are one of the good ones, here's what you need to do.
Step 1: Change your expectations about how you'll meet. You might've built a story up in your head about the first look that resembles a plot line from Gilmore Girls. It won't happen like that, and your insistence that it be instantly Instagrammable is knocking a lot of good guys out of the dating pool.
Step 2: Get fit. You don't need to be a size 4, but this generation of young men is serious about stewarding their bodies and they want a woman who cares for hers.
Step 3: Grow your hair out (and don't dye it blue). It may sound superficial to you, but these young men want a girl who is feminine, and long locks are an indicator that you are.
Step 4: Go clean your list. You are probably too selective about who you say yes to because you evaluate a coffee offer with the seriousness of a marriage proposal. So you say "no" when he asks for your number if he's an inch too short or three years too old, or does not yet make six figures, or wants to have a farm someday or doesn't want to have a farm someday. Ditch your list. As long as he does not creep you out, if he has the guts to ask you on a date, say yes.
Step 5: Sign up for any event where you know like-minded guys will be. The local Young Republicans mixer, a hiking group, a lively singles youth night at church. If you're not seeing these guys, it's because you're not situating yourself where these guys are. Change your routine.
Step 6: Get a gym membership and dress modestly. That not only accomplishes step two, but it puts you in regular contact with a lot of guys who are working to better themselves. But don't set a thirst trap. Stand out by wearing workout gear that draws attention to your face, not your cleavage.
Step 7: When the guy who you see every Wednesday and Friday, who has given you pointers on better form for your RDLs, asks for your number, unless you genuinely feel unsafe, give it to him.
Step 8: When he calls you two days later and asks you out for coffee or dinner, say yes. Even if you don't "like" him. This matters for two reasons. 1. You are conditioning him to initiate, and that will benefit you if you date long-term, or benefit other women he asks out in the future because you conditioned him to associate the risk of asking with the reward of a "yes." Hopefully some other girl is building up your future husband's confidence by saying yes when he asks her on a coffee date. 2. You don't actually know who you like. 50% of women marry a guy where there was no initial spark. They did not know they liked him until they saw him for a few weeks or a few months.
Step 9: IMPORTANT - learn to flirt. That doesn't mean licking your lips suggestively or wearing a miniskirt. It means singling him out for attention. A guy is much more likely to ask you on a date if you've signaled that you will say yes. You do that by making eye contact, smiling at him, and responding to any small "bids" for connection.
Step 10: He may not get all the dating etiquette exactly right that first time. He may not show up with flowers or open the door for you. But whatever he does that is commendable, notice it and thank him for it. A woman's greatest power is not bossing and directing, it is responding to and encouraging masculine energy in the right direction through sweetness and precise validation. Don't knock a sincere guy out of the running because he didn't execute a date perfectly. On the first date, the third, the fifth, you are evaluating for worldview alignment and character. Not elaborate planning for your night out.

Christian men,
You should be able to enforce consequences in your marriage when your wife is not fulfilling her roles and responsibilities.
But that's not the situation we live in today. The State has made that impossible.
But what you can do is to follow Christ, regardless of if your wife decides to follow you or not, and regardless of what the State does.
You may not have the authority to enforce consequences today in the United States of America, but you can still lead by example.

A man whose wife can prepare food for 30 people with an hour’s notice is surely extremely competent. A man who only gives his wife an hour’s notice to have 30 people over for dinner, however, is extremely incompetent at planning, and potentially also inconsiderate
My wife is very competent at her job of managing our home. That competence brings an incredible amount of peace and joy to our household.
If I come home at 5:00 PM and tell her
“We have 30 people coming over at 6:00 PM. We need to feed them,”
She doesn’t panic or get mad. She immediately starts thinking about what she can make, in that short amount of time, to feed 30 people.
She keeps the fridge stocked with soda and beer for guests. She makes sure the humidor is stocked with cigars. She keeps plenty of ice on hand. She always has groceries to bust out a bunch of tacos or homemade pizza for crowds
She even goes so far as to think "I know that this guest has an older Iphone, let me get a charger for his phone set up." Or "This guest has a gluten allergy, so let me make a special pizza for him."
It is a tremendous blessing to me, and to our guests. I can't tell you how often people stop me to tell me how amazing it is receive her hospitality
Men who are competent at their work make the world.

Men are finally admitting what women have been saying for years.
Sometimes, when a man is desperate to keep you pregnant back-to-back, it isn’t just because he “loves children” or wants a big family.
He understands exactly what pregnancy and closely spaced children can do to a woman’s freedom, time, body and options.
Keep her pregnant. Keep her nursing. Keep her exhausted. Keep her too occupied to even think about herself.
Then when women say marriage and motherhood can limit women in ways they don’t limit men, suddenly we’re “bitter” and “anti-family.”
Interesting to hear a man finally say the quiet part out loud.
Please read this with an open mind.
When an older man marries a very beautiful woman, usually much younger than him, and he married late, even if he has money, there’s a quiet insecurity that doesn’t really leave him.
He knows what he has.
He also knows other men can see it too.
Money can buy comfort, status, a house, maybe even loyalty for a while. It doesn’t buy the feeling that she’s only looking at him.
So he starts having children with her early, and he keeps going. Not always because he suddenly discovered a deep love for a big family.
Sometimes it’s "strategy".
A pregnant wife is occupied.
A wife with a toddler is tired.
A wife managing two or three small children with small age differences has very little room left in her day for anything that looks like temptation.
The logic, even if he never says it out loud, is simple:
keep her busy.
Keep her body changing.
Keep her schedule full.
A woman who is always recovering, nursing, or running after a child is less available to the world, and less available to other men.
But the fear doesn’t actually end there.
He worries that after a few years, after the births, she "stabilizes."
Her body settles.
The kids get a bit older.
She gets her energy back, or some of it.
And she’s still beautiful.
Sometimes more so, because now she looks like a woman and not just a girl.
That’s the part that bothers him. He thought the children would close the door.
Instead, they only delayed it.
She’s still young enough.
Still attractive enough.
And now she’s a mother, which some men read as settled and safe, and other men read as experienced and still very much in play.
So the insecurity doesn’t get solved by the pregnancies.
It just gets managed.
He watches who she talks to. He gets sensitive about her dressing a certain way again.
He brings up "our family" whenever she sounds too free. The children become both the bond and the leash.
Do NOT get me wrong.
Not every older man who marries a younger woman is doing this.
Some genuinely want plenty kids or a large family (especially if they're financially capable).
Some are just late to marriage and trying to "catch up".
But the pattern is common enough that you can see it: the rush to impregnate, the discomfort when she starts looking like herself again, the quiet panic that beauty plus time is a problem money alone can’t fix.
The children keep her busy. They don’t make him feel chosen. And he knows the difference, even if he never admits it.
AJD.

If a man told me he loved me on the first date I would assume he’s going to try to murder me at some point
Women (55%) were far more likely than men (37%) to report that it would be a dealbreaker for someone to say “I love you” on the first date. sexandpsychology.com/blog/20…
