@heisei_ramen @NirvanaClay @ReviewsPossum That’s certainly one set of standards. Mine are higher. My fiancée contributes financially, emotionally, intellectually, and even physically. We have different things we’re better at, and we specialize where it makes sense. But I don’t care for pretty pictures. I want everything.

@MathigNihilcek @NirvanaClay @ReviewsPossum The problem is that women DO bring more implicit value than men to a relationship. They make the baby, they look nice by default, etc. The effort expended by the man is to build up value in himself to match that baseline. She has the responsibility to use her powers for good.

"Men should pay for dinner because I, like, spent money on my hair and nails and makeup and stuff." By the exact same logic, you should pay for dinner if he picked you up in his car.

@heisei_ramen @NirvanaClay @ReviewsPossum Agreed on make him feel valued, but “Give the man a fair shot” instantly devalues him. It implies he isn’t worth her love or affection and she’s giving him, among many, a chance at… nothing. She should PURSUE him. Anything less isn’t fair.

@NirvanaClay @ReviewsPossum To give the man a fair shot and make him feel valued.

@MRSpinkston85 Women don’t propose marriage. They gate-keep romantic relationships. The most attractive men are either taken or uninterested in settling down. Besides, if you’re looking for “the best”, your perspective is wrong. Should be a loving relationship, not a resource to win

Why? Most of us aren't married to the top 10% of any man.

@matt_e_cochran Women should probably by advised to have romantic, non-sexual relationships with guys who aren’t top 10%. Flawed real humans. We don’t see it, because pastors are too squeamish to accept arranged marriages don’t exist anymore.

Pastors are quick to tell young men to marry former(ish) wantons, but somehow never tell young women to marry at all.

@DeekUsa @darwintojesus It isn’t charity if it’s by force or law. Charity is voluntary by definition.

@MathigNihilcek @darwintojesus There's zero scripture saying it's forbidden for government to enact charity, also most welfare programs aren't just charity they're for the overall good of the economy.

Also, if Jesus was a socialist then why do socialists dislike Him so much?

@DeekUsa @darwintojesus Nonsense. Jesus supported giving voluntarily, not forcible taking. State-run welfare is absent entirely in Israelite governance. He’d support enhanced punitive damages for corporations acting in bad faith to low wealth individuals. JUSTICE for the destitute, not WELFARE.

@darwintojesus He wouldn't have been a socialist according to modern terms but Hed definitely be on board with taxing filthy rich people who hoard wealth when people who work full time can't feed their families. Also socialism doesn't mean you don't work and just get stuff.

@MedeirosPanther @MasculinePeak Women could trivially get men back. Just be nice to them (Love, partner, & enhance their lives vs extracting from them.) Many pine over the top men (taken or uninterested in marriage), & the other men don’t get a glance. It’s not power games. They just don’t want what exists.

@MasculinePeak Nothing terrifies a modern woman more than masculine indifference. Without our attention, their social power evaporates. They want us to be thirsty so they can feel superior. I did a short on YT today explaining this.

Droves of men have decided to check out of dating, and stop acting desperate for girls. This makes said girls very angry.

@ProperVexed @cylonsRus @NonSheepDana @HazelAppleyard Just tell her she’s an awesome girlfriend but not marriage material. Men want to be valued for who they are, not just what they provide. Saying he isn’t good enough for fun kills this. Women want to be valued long term, not just short term. Relationship’s already dead.

@cylonsRus @NonSheepDana @HazelAppleyard Dont get me wrong, i agree with everyone saying its not a compliment But i dont think tiddies is the equivalent because a lot of women do not care about boob size and the bigger they are the more problems you have. Id say attack her beauty (her face) than her tiddies lol

There is no recovering from this 😭

@Math_files Sounds like a promising new engineer!

@OtakuEspiritu She conflated love with attraction. Attraction is easy. Love is not. It’s valuing someone else instead of just yourself. Is it easier to love when there is attraction? Maybe. But it’s harder to love someone with success. How do you add to someone whose life is already great?

@RusselPhd @Docquistador @frost7 Any modestly wealthy family should be homeschooling their children. If you value your kids (you should), public and private education both fail to achieve the kind of specialization and optimization even a high school level parent can provide with homeschool. At least K-8.

@Docquistador @frost7 Realize that among Americans under 50, assuming they're not from some insular homeschooled or fundamentalist sect, Christianity means entirely different things for men vs women. Then here are so many schisms- Protestant/Catholic/Orthodox, ProZionist/AntiZionist/Antisemitic, etc..

Modern dating in a nutshell

@WraithWyvern @LoloLumdrop @JadeAtrophis Men are often condemned as useless or undesirable pretty much everywhere. Even in this thread. Small wonder why they turn to sex to find someone actively praising them and validating them since nobody else will. Coincidence that submissive men get that more than dominant men.

@LoloLumdrop @JadeAtrophis Happens as a result of the mass infantilization of men. What else did you expect? Though, I guess part of it is caused by a male longing for women to more actively show affection.

Disgusting catamite

@32Bridger @HazelAppleyard I love chocolate cheesecakes. My fiancée loves them too. But when ranking desserts (we’re cooking like 30 together), she prefers a Black Forest cake. I love that too. So we make two different cakes we both love for each other’s birthdays. This is the best way, IMO.

Lol why do people lie about such small piddly things like this? It makes no sense. Yes on the day of, eat it and say nothing but thank you for all the effort they put in. On the offer of a second piece just politely refuse because one piece is enough. Then before your birthday request a different cake…you never even have to mention that you don’t like yellow cake with chocolate frosting let alone lie about it. And if you wanna be more open, politely request a different cake and confess gently. This makes no sense to be dishonest.

This is so freaking wholesome y’all 👇

@TraceTrue3 @JTAlexander_ Trump actually having the guts to stonewall all legislation and shut down the government indefinitely until it happens. Until Trump /actually/ vetoes good republican bills, including mandatory ones, because the save act wasn’t voted on, nothing will make the save act pass.

@JTAlexander_ What do you think it will take to get the SAVE America passed? At this point it seems extremely difficult.

Thune has mastered simultaneous truth and dishonesty. The issue here is Congress' laziness (which I've written about before re: Non-Delegation Doctrine). Post-1917: He is correct. No law has passed this way. Pre-1917: Literally every bill passed this way. In 1917, the Senate changed its rules to create the concept of cloture because they were tired of working through these debates and processes. Interesting coincidence that I'm sure has absolutely nothing to do with this change, 1917 was also the point at which the majority of the Senate had been elected by popular vote rather than by pre-17th Amendment appointments. Almost like the time they used to spend making laws got reoriented towards political campaigning or something. Weird.

@FrMatthewLC @ryanburge It’s just the Lizardmen’s constant.

@ryanburge I think 3% might follow Jean-Paul Sartre: “Hell is other people” from his famous philosophical play, No Exit (1944).

What do we believe about the afterlife? 55% of Americans believe in both heaven and hell. 29% of Americans believe in neither. 13.5% believe in just heaven - not hell. 3% believe in hell - but not heaven. (I would love to meet this group of folks).

@TheRealROMA_AK @MattMorseTV Trump’s objective now is to destroy /the rest/ of their military. Whoever takes over will, at first, have no military power. Why would they antagonize a country that just bombed their military into the Stone Age? They think the US won’t do it again?

@MattMorseTV The problem is, can we trust that they are going to hand over the power of Iran to someone trustworthy?

Something that EVERYONE seems to be overlooking: The Trump Administration’s clearly stated objective is to hand-off operational control of the Middle East to our regional allies. To be clear: what’s happening with Iran right now is Trump’s EXIT STRATEGY. Spread out amongst all of our U.S. military installations in the Middle East, we’ve maintained a constant on-the-ground presence of ~45,000 men, costing us somewhere around $5 billion per year. Trump wants this to come to an end. However, in order for this regional hand-off and subsequent U.S. withdrawal to take place, the Iranian regime (and its capacity to project military power, destabilize the region, and interfere with economic activity) needs to come to an end. Step 1: Cripple the Iranian regime. Step 2: Hand-off operational control of the Middle East to our regional allies. Step 3: Withdraw from the region - the ‘final chapter’ of the Bush/Obama-era ‘War on Terror.’ The reality is, for the first time in over two decades we have a President who’s actually taking steps towards concluding the never-ending Middle Eastern quagmire. America First.

@david_kinghorn @HikiCoder @gak_pdx Think you’re responding to the wrong thread. I wasn’t talking about the US attacking China, but about the risks of any nuclear power developing capabilities of attacking another nuclear power… and why it’s not in any nation’s interest to attempt to do so.

@MathigNihilcek @HikiCoder @gak_pdx The US won’t attack China. If China attacks Taiwan, the US will probably just evacuate their military base, handing over all weapons to Taiwan (enough to sink their transports), then embargo everything coming into China. It would hurt the US but China would starve in 2 years.

What makes the Trump Strategy unique is that he is the first President to ever acknowledge that our $1 Trillion annual DoW budget essentially gives the US an easy button for complex foreign affairs with basically every country on the planet not named Russia or China. You don't need to do the Georgetown SFS claptrap where you "own" the country after you invade - that is the part that gets you mired in 2 decades of endless war. No; you start making practical demands of your adversary to stop screwing around and being a threat. You use the time to collect intel and build assets in the region. When the psychopaths who run these countries fail to take all of the lavish off-ramps you provide? You simply have the Pentagon take America's bent paperclip (the B2 Spirit) and jam it into the Hard Reset hole on the back of the country you are having a problem with. Decapitate the leadership structure, liquidate any capital assets that pose a threat, and (here is the hard part) you walk away, ready to talk with whoever emerges after the Joker splits a cue stick in half and holds tryouts. Whoever emerges really does not matter to US strategic (or even local regional) interests at that point; the country they inherited has no possibility of projecting the power or being a regional threat after the DoW destroys all the military assets.

@HikiCoder @gak_pdx There’s 2 ways to defeat a nuclear superpower. 1) Build defenses so you can nuke them and they can’t nuke back. 2) Delete their nukes before they can launch them. If the US was trying to do either, Russia/China would nuke us before we are ready out of self defense.

@MathigNihilcek @gak_pdx It is not... MAD is retarded... Nukes make it more expensive, but not impossible.. specially with current anti-missile tech. Having nukes does not put you in the same league of the US. Having 20k of them won't help either...

@HikiCoder @gak_pdx Fundamentally, they are because nukes. That’s why the US is so heavily involved in Iran despite Cuba being more proximate and hostile. Iran was trying to get nukes. That’s the red line. If the US even tried to thwart nukes, China would HAVE to nuke us first. MAD.

@gak_pdx I'm not sure Russia and China are out of that list... They're just in the "slightly more expensive" list.

@Indian_Bronson Mature behavior from women would be to: 1) not give away sexual intimacy outside marriage. 2) set expectations of dating up front & end relationship if not met. We all have limited lifespans. Set a time limit early & break if not met. Not doing so is consent for no commitment.

Not one man has ever “lead a woman on” She agreed that a relationship, including a sexual relationship, didn’t require an actual engagement (let alone marriage), every day she was in it.
