@DocMartinez2013 @literally_chad Also, cooking is an indication that I care about you in such a manner that, even at the end of my day, I want to create something tasty for you, it is an expression of feeling and your importance to me.

@literally_chad Chad, been married to a woman who can't cook and it's not necessarily a deal breaker, it is nice after a hard day's work to come home and have a delicious homemade meal ready. Ladies don't at me about it. Y'all would think it fitting for a husband to change the oil in the car

@LizzyStarrrdust @RealDianeYap Eh, my love of true crime comes from my obsessiveness w/puzzles & patterns. Like anything else, the more true crime situations you expose yourself to, the more you spot the signs of the patterns within situations & nuance of human behaviors. Lol, but I'm a bit of a weirdo.

@RealDianeYap No this feeds more into women's neuronic fear complex. Understandably so but still.

Just because men only like to look at things that turn them on doesn’t mean women are like that. True crime is interesting in the way that mysteries are. It’s not about being turned on.
FischerKing@FischerKing64

With respect to the ‘True Crime’ genre. I think the women (70-80% of the audience) are sexually aroused by violent criminals. I think the remaining male audience is split between guys who secretly want to do the crimes, and those who think crime is funny.

@Book_grrl_esque @wil_da_beast630 Even in my physical prime in the Army I always had a bit of a belly And now I have a bit of a dad bod but I still move and look like I'm in my mid-thirties.

Absolutely zero men are attracted to this. Not interested in gender argument today, but, wherever the up-middle class women's beauty standard comes from - "hairless and odorless below the neck," etc - it quite clearly isn't adult men. Several recent papers measure this, in fact. I'd actually be interested in takes here.

Demi is skeletal. And before you @ me about body shaming - this is unhealthy. For the press to glorify skeleton arms as "toned" is just as bad as glorifying obesity as "healthy at any size." Why can't any of the women cosplaying at self-acceptance actually do the thing?

@DocMartinez2013 @wil_da_beast630 Totally feel that. I've been skin and bones w/the tiniest roundness to my belly. Infuriating! Forget wrinkles, flexibility & movement are the real markers to staying youthful. It's easy to spot the age in people who have had all the work done, simply by watching how they move.

@DocMartinez2013 @wil_da_beast630 True that. Plenty of ladies do obtain those wispy figures as they enter their later years; I find them frail looking. But I suspect the future holds other things for me, lol. As you know, the Hispanic blood tends toward curvature.

@Book_grrl_esque @wil_da_beast630 Also, to be fair, she's 63 years old and it's hard to say what the rest of her body looks like but she looks 63 from the neck down Like what part is wrinkles and age that's contributing factors there

@DocMartinez2013 @unexplainables8 Absolutely! Your wording is more clever than mine, but honestly, figure out your sh-t & move forward. It's not rocket science, although your previously mentioned comment could be effective in aerodynamics, certainly. This is often my answer to problems & doesn't endear me to all.

@unexplainables8 I'm basically at the point where it's an engineering problem to mitigate friction points, and clear out incompatibilities asap to reduce drag. You can complain about it or deal with reality and get something done.

@Krissa_Kray_ This sounds easy before you've raised a family w/a man. Unless they live far away & have very little contact w/your husband or he has no problem shutting them out, this will absolutely be problematic. Will the wedge be small or large, that's the only question.

@Book_grrl_esque Ha! 😂 Well thanks! I will take your 'on the spectrum' nature as that of one who perhaps is uniquely perceptive in these ways, being 'I see authenticity and not a retard'! lmao

@LizzyStarrrdust @hollowearthterf Also, not to take away from your intelligence or insight, you do a fantastic job, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people have no prior knowledge of the male-female dynamics you regularly discuss. People just out here moving through every day with no idea.

Because female sexual attraction is more inclined to become sexually attracted to a man as a result of his skills, intellect, abilities, how he makes her feel, etc, and that attraction tends to be more inclined toward full romantic relationships, whereas men are more capable of being sexually attracted to women that they have no intention of a relationship with, women have a hard time differentiating between a man's sexual and romantic attractions.  A man's sexual attraction is often just an involuntary and snap judgment arousal that doesn't necessarily include anything about the woman aside from her physical appearance. A man's romantic attraction includes her other traits AND sexual attraction.  Women feel threatened when a man is sexually attracted to anyone other than her because in her mind it could put her romantic relationship at risk. For the most part this is not the case, it's just testosterone working in his brain.

This is probably the dagger to the heart in the whole "Is it normal/non-creepy for men and lesbians to think early 20s athlete types are peak-hot?" discourse. OF COURSE it is. Most fit women of ALL ages are pretty, but, if this were not the human norm, we would regularly see 46 year old first-year grandmothers struggling into Hooters' Girl two-pieces. We do not, and there is a reason for this. Now, almost no adult business-men want to MARRY a Hooter's Girl. There is a reason for that, too.

@techhsiren I think it's split among people having weddings. Some want their guests to be comfortable/not self-conscious. The rest of the brides want a "look". A color palette of guests. No one out-shining them. Everything fitting into their standard because this is "their day". Exhausting!

also what if you're enforcing a dress code (that all have VERY rigid rules might i add?? and they're very confusing? and i'm gonna get in trouble if i get it wrong?) that is completely outside of someone's normal style and now they're forced to spend money on a dress that they hate and will never wear again? like don't you want the guest to feel good and comfortable in what they're wearing?

@techhsiren @anitamakegainz Yes, there's the traditional black for funerals and white for weddings and if you did the opposite, it was a comment about how you felt about the marriage or funeral. But then Jewish weddings, you wear black! Lol.

@anitamakegainz maybe it's a remnant of mourning culture where women who experienced a death in the family were meant to wear black for however long so it was inappropriate for a wedding
