  1. As an American, it doesn't matter. You have no expectation of privacy IN PUBLIC. It's why you don't dress like that and go out IN PUBLIC.

  2. I'm in the same boat, turning 40 in a week.

  3. I've seen that endlessly in the last 5 years, let's talk about a 10 minute problem for an hour, and do nothing but let's meet again soon to continue...

  4. Without a family, kids, whats the point of social status or money? The purpose of both is to attract a mate and have a stable family. That's the whole point of this life game, why aren't you playing it women?

  5. I'm offering her the entire world, and she's offended because all I'm offering is the world...
    12
  6. That's my metric for love: can she LIE TO ME and say "It's going to be okay" and I believe her because she believes in me enough that I'll make it okay? No? Then gone with her! I've felt that once and won't settle until I feel it again. It was called TRUST, it's very rare especially coming from women.

  7. I get that. I've heard so many times from women "I never know if you're joking or serious, every time you say something!" and I reply "And you NEVER will...". And it's true. I have 6 sisters so I'm great at ignoring and teasing women lol. Also, the tears are never real. Never. And they're always lying. There, 39 years of brother experience in 3 sentences. Ignore them, tease them, the lies and tears are fake, congrats you are educated on women.

  8. "It's a good thing for ME, and thus good for all of society, because I'm conceited!"

  9. As a man I see the it opposite, finally I get to stop this dating, alone BS and start actual life, living , with my wife. Life finally begins. I'm hoping life starts soon...40 seems late to start dating but whatever, right?

  10.  @Sensorium19  just because something is understandable does not make it rational. If I was a woman I'd see saying yes to that guy who asked and I like as the ultimate moment of validation, giving super power and worth...would you feel more validated and powerful and worthwhile if he HAD NOT asked you? EXACTLY. When you work against what you want, don't be surprised when you never get what you want!

  11.  @robertbeisert3315  hey that's me, lol!

  12. Born in 83, High Member of The Millennial Council, and we hear your plight.

  13.  @Sorain1 exactly. Like I say, I have everything in the world except what I WANT, because those things can't be BOUGHT. I've bought all the stuff I want, it's more than that I need. Loyalty, desire, fidelity, priceless.

  14. I blow minds when I say "No, I didn't lose 110lbs, I lost 1lb over 100 individual times". It's common sense but people don't think that way.

  15. The term is OINK, one income no kids.

  16. There is no marriage without living together first. Like you said, you BOTH have to audition for the role. If you can't live together, why the hell get married? Yes, it's an interview, you have to impress me and I have to impress her, LIKE EVERY MOMENT of all times. It's on both. If you are that insecure, you shouldn't even be at the living together stage yet, you may not be ready to even DATE.

  17. Therapy has the issue of job security. There's no repeat business in SOLUTIONS, only treatments.

  18. Yolo is why I'm 39, single, childless, and never married. Yolo taken the other way, the way I took it, was slow down, whoa, you only live once, so EVERY MISTAKE is a fuckin disaster! Because you only live once you have to avoid the BIG MISTAKES like the wrong marriage, divorce, kids out of wedlock, kids in the wrong wedlock, divorcing and breaking kids, adoption. All the mistakes made that MADE ME, I'd love to avoid. I was the accidental child of a teenage unwed couple, I was adopted, so I avoid hookup culture, because I see first hand how much destruction one little mistake like creating a life by accident can have, and I'd kill myself before I'd force another to go through it. So yeah, Yolo to me is perfect or nothing. I'm breaking the cycle. I'll have a 'normal' family, or none I can fuckup. Maybe a real great person could change my mind there, but that person you might doom by your choices, THEY only get one chance too, so you OWE THEM the best chance you can give them.

  19. Right, so she skips the guy with stuff, and bangs the brooding bad boy who has passion, but has to live with her and borrow money for his parole appointment... Yeah they deserve all of that, and I sit alone and laugh as THEY CHOOSE to suffer. If women wanted to, they would. They skip good men and get raped by trash, then fight anyone who says they're getting raped by trash, conclusion let them have what they choose. If they wanted better, they'd do better.

  20. There's a second part, it's Two Income Live together. You double your total income, and cut your expenses and chores in half. NOW you're getting ahead, or should be. It makes so much sense it makes sense no one wants to do it, lol.

  21. EH, my issues make me think anyone being nice to me is lying anyway, so... False empathy, REAL empathy, attention towards me at all, drives me away lol.

  22. The most die hard deplorables among us may have even at one time or another rallied at the gym TWICE a day! That's crazy, right?

  23. from that, YOU are the SOLE person I want to have kids. REMEMBER, if someone wants something, they're probably not worthy of it. Give it to whomever wants it the LEAST. That's how POWER works. People who want to lead are the worst leaders and should be the last to lead. The reluctant leader is often the best, because he appreciates what he's been granted, the responsibility that comes with it. You actually care so you'd do great, because it's not in you to do bad, you wouldn't LET yourself. You're like me, I don't want to be a dad because I think I'd be bad at it, I'm afraid I'd be too good at it, that I'd take it so seriously it became my life....like a PARENT should.

  24. What stands out about all these day in the life videos is how it's only ME ( them). At no point do they do anything for someone else or help anyone, it's just I did these things and ate this stuff and drank this... that's all really boring alone lol. The loneliness in these shouts through.

  25. "he didn't grieve properly " Full stop, you literally just shamed that man for his feelings after decrying the same in the previous breath. STOP it. YOU ARE PROJECTING. EVERY other person has a unique set of experiences and emotions, and the fact you don't get that is scary to me as a man. Let him BE. Just because other's have different emotional responses doesn't mean they're wrong, and you can frustrate them by saying they are. If I don't FEEL like crying, and you're badgering me I need to cry, I have to cry, YOU'RE BEING SAD WRONG, I'd probably be quite frustrated too, you're not listening to THEM.

  26.  @Sorain1 yet that whole post was BLAMING him for not EMOTING PROPERLY. F that. I don't care what disorder you have, no one gets to tell others how they're feeling or that they're feeling incorrectly. That's THE ISSUE here, this WOMAN telling a man what he's feeling and how he should be doing it right, that's the exact opposite of empathy, that's not even sympathy. Feelings are just that, they have no requirement to make sense, they often don't even have purpose, so stop trying to force them to.

  27. Finding Duty and Purpose is what's always putting me in my feelings lol. When I stop thinking about my duties and purposes, mind gets quiet. All my racing thoughts relate to duties and responsibilities and purposes. They're what are keeping me from building beyond where I am. Structure doesn't always raise something, structure can also CONTAIN you. RESTRAIN you.

  28. I hate that saying 'the squeaking wheel gets the grease" because as a man I know the squeaking wheel gets REPLACED, so best not to make too much noise. Like the Japanese saying "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down". Men know that attention is not always a positive thing.

  29. We've always KNOWN, it's just that NOW it's a PROBLEM...

  30. YEAH, the one time I tried therapy, my therapist turned their notes over to the entity who forced me to do the therapy, and I showed up early to a session to walk into a group of people discussing my issues openly among themselves, by name. It's SUPPOSED to be a safe space and all that, but when it isn't, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR ISSUES ARE ALL LACK-OF-TRUST BASED, it really ruins it for you. And he was a man I had come to respect as a mentor, so the BETRAYAL damaged that idea as well.

  31. Here's what to to remember: as bad as Homer is, Marge is still there because she knows SHE couldn't do better.

  32. Passport bro-ing died with the vax. I can't travel globally as an American without the vax, and it's impossible to import a foreign wife unless she's vaccinated, so what's the point, go off and meet a women you can never bring home, from a land you couldn't even choose to start with?
    2
  33. It's so crazy to me, as a single never married man, to see men who were married tell men to not get married. It reeks of pulling up the ladder after you got yours, and saying naw, the grass is no different over here, don't you dare hop that fence and come over here! Just saying, I see it a LOT. I never see men say to other men "Hey, I tried this pussy thing, nope, not worth it, not for you bro, stick to that hand, in fact I don't respect any man that's getting laid, nope, what a loser he'd be". Being single is the #1 thing that embarasses me as a man to other men, because I grew up around old people, and you were only single if your were a widow, a widower, or a HARLOT that never got picked. It's the man bare minimum trifecta, car, job, girlfriend. You don't have all three, what a loser is how I remember feeling as a kid.

  34. I'm in a similar situation, and yes, EVERYONE dies alone. You're not a king or pharoah, your servants won't be struck down and burned on your pyre to serve you in the afterlife, it's a trip only you can take. Alone or surrounded by a dozen great grandkids, you will die by yourself, truly alone for the first time. So stop worrying about that, THAT is solved and unchanging. What you need to worry about is not being alone for all that living time, that's the point. Die alone, don't LIVE alone.

  35. The biggest trend in IT is literally called 'Zero Trust Computing'. Everyone is a suspect, especially your users lol.

  36. All she had was a female take anyway, so why bother, brother?

  37. Who DOESN'T try to enrich themselves in office? That's the whole point! Even if that enrichment is by helping your community and improving things for all, that's still self-interest.

  38. Which means the left has to be so much worse they're not even women, seeing as the right is too toxically masculine to be allowed to live... Are they weak, or the Boogeyman to fear, PICK YOUR FUCKING PROPAGANDA NARRATIVE AND STAY IN THAT LANE ALREADY, LIKE GOEBBLES TAUGHT.
    2
  39. And from that and How I relate to It, I've now subscribed to you. I'm also down about 110lbs in the last 24 months, and it's like "eh, I thought this would fix more of my problems, but they're still there, now I'm just a thin loser instead of a fat fuck loser, lol". We're here, though.

  40. Yeah sounds great. Maybe next life.

  41.  @TokyoXtreme  yeah, and I call my 100 acre farm a site or a compound, far better and bigger than some campus. Businesses need to think bigger.

  42. Is she a liberal on the left? Yes, the she's an absolute unabashed feminist. If she wasn't, she'd have abandoned the side of feminism. It's like denouncing Nazism, but I'm keeping this stylin' SS uniform on, ok? Alright!
    2
  43. Let's just say I have 6 sisters, and the only one I can talk to at all about anything relationship-related is the absolute youngest, and she's also the only other unmarried sibling. To hear it from all my other siblings, in decade-plus stable marriages themselves, life is great, everything is good, what are you complaining about? Just get married and be happy for 25 years like we did, like mom and dad did for 59 years! Like it's so easy lol.
    2
  44. And, everyone dies alone. You are not a pharoah, your servants won't be executed with you to serve you in the afterlife, it's a trip ONLY you can make. By yourself or surrounded by dozens of great grandkids, you die alone. The GOAL is to not live alone before it.
    2
  45. What's truly scary is that most incels are not celibate. They just can't get a relationship worth having. Which is the same thing, really.
    2
  46. And yeah, I lost 110lbs the last year, all it's done is made me more depressed, all I see are guys fatter than me with women while I'm alone, exercising. Oh well, a strong woman will come by and choose me eventually. If she doesn't, she too weak, catch up women!
    2
  47. Women have become men. Women are self-hating. So of course women hate men LIKE THEM.
    2
  48. Everyone dies alone. The goal is to live not alone for a bit first. THAT is what to keep in mind. You already lost, we all did. Now you have to play the game knowing the outcome.
    2
  49. You double your income and cut your work in half, and no dating, marriage sounds like absofuckinglute perfection to me, but I'm a male living in reality, not a moder person lol

  50. ​ @MattOpines why isn't she blaming HER MOM FOR PICKING A BAD GUY TO HAVE HER WITH? Her mom had ALL the control to land her there.
