An important distinction is that the "bottom of the barrel" for men, by man standards, is a really ugly woman. A "bottom of the barrel" for women, by woman standards, is someone who will try to kill us if we leave

When I was in high school, one of my friends didn't like this guy I went out with for a while, and one of his complaints about the guy was "The only reason he has all those muscles is because he spends all kinds of time at the gym! He's not just like that normally! If he stopped working out then he wouldn't look like that!

This thread is making me reevaluate every friendship I've ever had with a male and worry about whether he was just playing a covert long game, or if I was somehow unknowingly taking advantage of him.

If a platonic male friend brings me coffee in the morning, but I bring him frozen yogurt after lunch, do I still owe him sex to make sure that I've not using him as a beta resource-provider?

Can we go back to talking about Elliot Rodger and his manifesto?

(Read the whole thing in one sitting, nearly crying laughing the whole time until I remembered that he viciously murdered six people, hope this helps)

Pick posted:

I don't find it ha-ha funny, more like "there are guys out there who will murder me because they think this way and it's utterly demented and a symptom of pervasive social ills" funny

I genuinely just don't get what makes us seem scary.

Maybe focusing on their own hobbies and interests will attract people who share those same hobbies and interests, reversing the negative feedback loop that they've been stuck in and giving them positive experiences with normal, well-adjusted people.

It is probably rare that someone's appearance completely shuts them out of dating, in a way that they can't change by cleaning themselves up a little. But I do have a friend who was born with birth defects (missing about a quarter of his digestive tract and half a lung) which gave him the physique of a starving African child and a bunch of surgical scars. He is very outgoing, has a huge social circle, and is successful in all areas of life outside of dating. With women though he said that he had almost given up trying because as soon as he attempted to flirt they would respond with intense pity, which of course made him feel worse than if they had been mean about the rejection. He never became bitter or 'nice' about it though, which must have been extra hard because he has to see his very attractive twin sister being super promiscuous (people joke that his birth defects are a result of her cannibalising him in the womb).

But there is hope even for people in that position, because recently he finally found someone interested in him. She is a vegan chef so I guess has a thing for the skeleton aesthetic. They seem very happy together so I would say the lesson is to never become so bitter about being rejected by the majority that you aren't open to the love of that special minority who will accept you as you are.

It's because you want to be appreciated in any endeavor. Whether it be cooking for someone who doesn't know how to cook or loving someone who someone wouldn't normally find attractive.

I totally agree with letting people just be themselves and see where things go. Fact is, don't bring up poo poo that people are insecure about whether it be freckles, missing limbs, big foreheads etc. Just be a decent human being about it.

Rapes aren't reported and when they are they're not investigated because the majority of police are men, and men fall into three categories:

1) unapologetic rapists
2) pussies who wish they had the strength and courage to go through with a rape, but won't due to fear and insecurity
3) a teeny tiny minority of decent people.

The problem with solving the problem is that in almost all circumstances, men will claim to be in category 3, which leads to the misleading idea that only a tiny minority would ever rape someone permeating society. We've progressed so far as to technically make rape a crime, but there's a long way to go before even a majority of men find it morally objectionable (even when you think the victim is a slut). It's funny how you can get every man in the world to blurt out "oh, rape is one of the worst things you can do to a person!" but when it comes to actually assessing cases of reported rapes, the discussion immediately takes a turn towards "well, why did she let that happen/what did she do to deserve this?" not to mention "don't ruin a man's life because of one tiny mistake!"

In other words, the only thing seperating Roosh from most men is that he is more blatant and ballsy about the whole deal.

Pick's wording didn't suggest anything TERFy to me, I immediately assumed she meant the guys who get mad at those dadratted broads who can just gently caress a guy and the guy will give her a mansion in return. This might be because I'm a woman am very aware of that school of thought, or it might be because I know enough about Pick from Ladythread to know she's not TERFed up.




I think the latter

But you're missing the point my friend, 'ugly' is subjective as gently caress and what is horrendous to you might be perfectly fuckable to another. There is no universal standard of ugliness.

Some people get off to eating poo ffs there's all kinds.

idk why finding a partner to fill a human need for companionship has to be some kind of competition bro

yeah, it sucks for ugly people and it is easier for attractive people. that's no reason to just say screw it I'm a monster.

Gibbons are monogamous.

Also I used to go to the zoo and do work near the gibbons because they'd sing to confirm their relationship every single day. Envied that lady gibbon for sure.

Moridin920 posted:

I'm sorry you feel that way, it seems like a miserable place to be.

Maybe if you stopped thinking about dating like you're a monkey seeking mates you'd have more luck?

On the other hand if your strategy and theory has failed you then perhaps it is time to try an alternate path rather than despair and self pity.

So, what I have gathered from the most recent posts is that dude whose blog has been posted is in the running for creepiest mommy issues ever, and Cumslut1895 is a very depressed and angry sexless gibbon.

go to the nearest mall and take a look at every couple that walks past and then try to think how genetic selection explains all those lardass doughfaces having steamy sex every night better than gravity or any other natural phenomenon that doesn't actually have a conscious intention

Travis343 posted:

lmao if you think natural selection plays any part in the human experience in 2016. we left that poo poo behind centuries ago. our entire history is giving nature the finger, instead of genetic defects and environmental hardships weeding out 'weak' humans we instead cure diseases and create agriculture and irrigation with our enormous brains. humans basically won evolution the second we had a brain powerful enough to understand it. literally anybody can get laid and pass on their genes now. it's loving ludicrous to act like humanity is still subject to the rules governing the animal kingdom, in fact humans are loving that up too as we save species from extinction and introduce invasive species all around the world

I'm sorry but unless you're basically John Merrick I just don't buy the 'so ugly no one will ever gently caress me' line.

And even he was able to interact normally with women without becoming a sperglord about it.
