Women stage pictures for other women (intrasexual competition) Men take in-the-moment pictures to hold onto time That’s because men are the more sensitive and romantic sex

@IterIntellectus This is actually true. Men are way more romantic and also more pragmatic about romanticism. Women are just in love with a lifestyle, not necessarily an emotion

@IterIntellectus I have about 50 pictures of my wife sleeping in random positions because she’s so cute. She hates them, I love them.

@IterIntellectus It’s true. We live in the moment. One that’s fleeting to us and cherish it more.

@IterIntellectus explain this to me like i'm 7 buddy

@IterIntellectus The ironic thing is that she looks more attractive in that photo than in her own posed selfies.

@IterIntellectus Is it that or is it because women are generally more thoughtful & empathetic and so they take pictures in the way the subject would want to be remembered? Instead of just selfishly quickly grabbing the moment they want

@IterIntellectus men love moments regardless of the look

@IterIntellectus It's possible. When they give you their heart, men are very romantic. But they don't want anyone to know. It's their secret.

@IterIntellectus 😳

@IterIntellectus poetry.

@IterIntellectus Women only feel love for their children and nothing else. A partner for them is just a status upgrade.

@IterIntellectus Nailed it. some esoteric poet, forgot who, said the most masculine of men internally have a feminine soul, and the most feminine of women have developed a masculine soul. -- and if you reflect on it, it makes perfect fucking sense.

@IterIntellectus Men have always been more romantic than women. At least the men worth keeping.

@IterIntellectus We definitely prefer candid shots of our wives and gfs to posed ones

@IterIntellectus My wife take these kind of pictures of me.

@IterIntellectus Women intend to share the photos. Men will tell no one, show no one.

@IterIntellectus It's true. I take pictures of things I fear I will lose, so I can remember them fondly later.

@IterIntellectus A guy will look at that photo and remember each detail of the day. A woman will say “ew I look gross”

@IterIntellectus Unironically true

@IterIntellectus Always have been.

@IterIntellectus Ofc, a lot of fads like that. For instance, power drives aren’t inherently higher in men, all else being equal, come as as social/sexual expectation from women. Check the same drives when mates are secured. Testosterone lvl drops and drive wane. They persist in gals though.

@IterIntellectus Men have always been the one to court women. It is expected of us to be romantic because. yes, we are. Also, add on top of this the fact that men are the only creatures on this planet who are not loved unconditionally.

@IterIntellectus Men exhibit very deep emotions and for women it's very shallow. Men take forever to get over breakup, women swing to next branch. Men write and sing the vast majority of songs about love

@IterIntellectus Silence from the wife is an admission all of its own here

@IterIntellectus im so grateful to God i will never understand what intrasexual competition feels like because i never had to play that pathetic and immoral game.

My favourite picture I have of my girlfriend is when we were on a looong vacation and we had sat down at a nice restaurant for the evening after a long day. I snapped a couple sneaky photos when her drink came, because it had a cool presentation. She had the cutest grin/smile, best photos I have of her. She hates them 😁

@IterIntellectus I only understood this in the last several years.
