@hosepipehitter @FWPlayboy Yes. They string the guys along for a while—“I just want to take things slow, make it special”—and when they can’t keep it going any longer they move onto the next one

@FWPlayboy Is this cope from us though or are they using the older men who are willing to spend some money before they dont get a return and they're cut off. I would think some are obviously having sex but there's a lot of betas out there too and guys who are fooling themselves
English
“A girl I’m seeing has a Sugar Daddy arrangement. He’s an older guy who pays her rent and buys her stuff, but they don’t have sex”
Strike from your mind that they’re NOT having sex. To believe that is to be willingly naive.
YOU don’t have to call her out on it, your smirk is enough.

One of my female friends at brunch is casually explaining her roster of 50+ year old men who fund different parts of her life One pays for dinners One gave her an Uber card One buys her clothes/jewelry Another sends random “hope you’re having a great week” money She has slept with exactly NONE of them What the hell is going on out there?

@Andrew_Semenza Yes, some men are actually terrible. But many basically normal guys end up being conditioned to believe that there is something undefinably and unfixably wrong about their personality
English
@Andrew_Semenza It’s basically tautological—guys who consider themselves kind and decent are told, “Well, if you really were, it would have worked by now. You must be doing something wrong.”
English
it's bizarre how people describe romantic entanglements as if they are a default state. I wont talk about myself here (I could be insane), but the majority of my close mid-20s male friends have never experienced a whiff of romance, and they are all handsome & thoughtful people

@CayXO1 @v1rginandtonic @realalpha2000 A two-month supply of B12 is $3.74 at Walmart. Or you could eat a fortified cereal
English
@v1rginandtonic @realalpha2000 the vegan diet fundamentally lacks much of the essential nutrients found only in animal-based products, the only way to have a sustainable nutritionally complete vegan diet is through supplementation, supplementation that not everyone has access to.

"okay so poor people are only allowed to eat beans for as long as we live?" Yes
ash 🍉✭@hfkzelda
Vegans will always say “beans and rice are cheaper than meat” okay so poor people are only allowed to eat beans for as long as we live? you’re no better than the people who say SNAP should only cover flour, eggs and milk lmfao
English
@EOpsych @rebeccarightnow I think a lot of it is that veganism in the US is stereotypically associated with a certain kind of well-off white person, so people decide that you have to be rich to do it, rather than actually considering what it costs compared to eating meat
English
@rebeccarightnow Someone pointed out that "it's too expensive" may be a proxy for "it seems overwhelming to manage a new way of shopping and cooking" and I can see that. Doesn't make it any less untrue, of course
English
How? How on earth is eating meat cheaper than not eating meat? How??
No one will explain this! People keep saying it, but no one will explain 😭
g ✶ met z!@N1NETY6S
like the reality is that being vegan is insanely expensive and the majority of us cannot afford that shit. YOU, as a rich person, can! and that’s fine! do what you want! but stop pretending there is zero nuance to shit like this

@lizisamused As a 6’1” millennial man who’s never dated anyone, the current obsession with height is so bizarre to me. All my best friends in high school were tall undateable nerds. We never thought of height as any sort of advantage
English
The height requirement in dating is painfully stupid.
If a woman wants a guy who's taller than her, fine. Plenty of guys also want a girl who's shorter than they are.
But wanting 6'+ strikes me as a trophy thing for women. I don't buy it's an innate preference because older generations didn't focus on this nearly as much. It was *nice* if your boyfriend was tall; it wasn't a requirement.
And I've heard some horror stories from men: a girl showing up to the date, saying he's too short, & RUNNING AWAY. Women asking how tall the guy is as the convo opener on an app.
Women can't claim they're the less superficial sex & then reject the vast majority of their dating pool.
What especially bugs me is women who say everyone's allowed preferences. Wanting a guy who treats you well? Fine. Rejecting anyone who doesn't tower over you, regardless of other positive traits? Odd.
And the dehumanizing language toward short men is insane. Claiming tall guys have better personalities, short guys are dangerous or angry, etc.
What's especially wild: data shows height doesn't strongly impact a man's # of sexual partners. But this may change if women won't even give the 5'9" (literally average) guy a chance.
The 5'9" Gen X & millennial men I knew did just fine. But Gen Z men increasingly have to impress online as opposed to IRL, so height becomes a more important factor. Even IRL, if the trend among women is to view any guy under 6' or so as a "manlet," that impacts most men.
It's odd to watch women complain about objectification...and then objectify men to the point only 15% of women would give a guy who's 5'8" a shot on a dating app.
I feel for young people. It's a different world now...

@SlumRNA_Dog Huh, if giving up meat is that hard, kinda sounds like the people who do it intentionally out of principle must be a lot tougher than you
English
The lone star tick alpha gal syndrome thing is legitimately the only thing that keeps me up at night. Like I can probably deal with anything else bad happening but a bug bite turning me into a vegan faggot is an absolute nightmare scenario.
LUKEY ✣@VERYKOOLLUKEY
Apparently there is a new tick disease going around that make people completely allergic to any mammalian product (meat, dairy.. ect) I spoke to a local ecologist about it and he said that the number of tick species in our area have gone from 3 to 9 within the past 5 years
English
@lxeagle17 It’s true that two is a small sample, but when you can only run a trial every four years and the downsides of failure are so high, it’s kind of hard to wait for a large enough sample before you determine if the effect is real
English
Data on this is highly questionable outside of an n=2 (Harris + Clinton). In the thousands of downballot and gubernatorial elections we have data for, there's no evidence women are less electable.
Female candidates do better with women and worse with men, but women vote more.

AXIOS: Some top Democrats are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party's best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, White, Christian man. Former first lady Michelle Obama fueled such talk recently, saying the U.S. is "not ready for a woman." Democratic strategists have put it bluntly, with several saying a version of "It has to be a white guy." axios.com/2026/03/29/som…

@davidgross_man That same episode also has a joke about their new house being so futuristic it has a robot vacuum cleaner, and Bart being an idiot because he can’t read cursive

Where are all these alleged 30 year old men choosing 19 year olds? I’ve never met any of them. 48 year olds with 28 year olds sure, 55 year olds and 35 year olds definitely, but in my circles you’d be labelled a sad weirdo if you had a teen girlfriend at 30+
English
@Empty_America As a fairly teenager in the ‘90s, it felt like the “tall guy” archetype then was Cosmo Kramer
English
Until very recently, there was a sort of stigma attached to excessive height.
"Tall guys" were often dorky, uncoordinated, bad posture, skinny, etc.
Even in the 90s, most guys over 6'1" were not "cool" at all.
nativistconcern@nativistconcern
In the 1950s, 5ft8 men had more initial marriage success and reproductive success than 6ft2 men. That's not to say they were more attractive, but society functioned. Female mate selection is now largely about impressing other women, looking good in internet photos and chasing media created fantasies. These evo-psych professionals have every justification for women making our species extinct but never mention the real social and psychological dynamics.
English
@FCardamenis No one I know who isn’t a devoted Letterboxd user even liked Anora or OBAA. The ‘90s winners had a much broader appeal. One reason Hollywood is in a bad place is that the gap between what gets acclaim/awards and what the average moviegoer enjoys has never been wider.
English
Kind of crazy that everyone agrees that Hollywood and American moviemaking are kind of in a bad spot but the last three Best Picture winners make for the best stretch since Silence of the Lambs/Unforgiven/Schindler's List.

@Radickey_ebooks @RafaelaEnjoyer Because teams with terrible defensive WAR will have their pitching WAR increased by the same degree. Run prevention is easy to measure—what people debate is how to apportion the credit.
English
@RafaelaEnjoyer If WAR values defense too highly, it should be easy to find historical evidence that teams with terrible defense perform way better than WAR thinks they should.
I’ve seen a lot of people claim that WAR overvalues defense, but zero research from any of them.
English
Thank god WAR exists for defensive value. The vast majority of people on here genuinely can’t evaluate players correctly and think offense is about 90% of the game.
Aaron Judge Support Group@HelpJudgeYanks
@RafaelaEnjoyer WAR is a fake stat. Values defense wayyyyyy too much

@Jacob__Kirn Look at the layoffs at the Washington Post to see how moving right works out for a newspaper. Conservatives aren’t going to read the news no matter how far right it goes, and it will just turn off the liberals who are the actual readership base

Unpopular opinion: affordable housing is available all of the country.
People don’t want to live in the areas that have affordable housing.

We want builders to build starter homes at $200–250k so the next generation can actually... start. Instead, they sell $400–500k+ homes and call them “starter homes.” $3,190/month is NOT a starter home.
