hot take: extreme pickmeism and handmaiden antics in western women are due to being more or less comfortably isolated from men's true nature

all these beckies screaming about how 2nd wave feminism was too mean never had to get their husband's signature to open a bank account

this

scrots like james damore always go "AKTCHYALY EXPLAIN THE EQUALITY PARADOX" but it all makes perfect sense.

it's not true for every extremely conservative society - just iran and other states in which sex segregation works in a particular way in schools. it's proven that girls perform better in academic segregation while boys perform worse. women are able to study on their own terms without being pestered by scrots and worrying about how they're perceived by them. if they're not getting married off by arrangement, sex segregation works wonders for their education.

in "feminist" societies like sweden and norway, everything revolves around biased notions of equality and gender blindness. women and men are forced to be together which ultimately ends with women catering to men. there's porn and other crap that "liberates" no woman ever, but there's a tremendous pressure to maintain a libfem sexpozzed facade. women give up and proceed to be homemakers because they're worn down by scrots' exhausting presence.

Show them Saint Hanna PosionIvy and make them realize that you don't need to bend over backwards to be adored by men. You can make them eat their own literal shit and they'll love you.

The 3rd one is manipulative but not in a way that I actively think about doing.
I do want someone to tell me I'm lovely, it's just hard to feel that way if I don't feel that way about myself.
And then I just explain how I feel, and looking back, it is an attempt at getting some sort of compliment but it just doesn't register that way at the time.

>>436053
>I know I’m too controlling and have anger issues. I like things a specific way and I expect everyone around me to know, and follow that. I get angry and annoyed quick, and I have a hard time controlling myself in situations like that. When my partners are distressed I’m great at staying calm and helping them- but the second someone “crosses me”, I lose it.
Holy shit anon, I'm exactly like this. Although I've rarely ever had any anger outbursts with anyone, I tend to withdraw because the anger feels too much to handle and leave them wondering what's wrong. I guess the important thing to do is mention what's bothering you, instead of letting it build up. It's hard because it feels like there can be dozens of little things…
I mention these things gently in moderation to my bf and things are a lot better. If someone isn't making you happy you need to let them know. If they can't handle it then you aren't compatible.

That being said you need to work on your anger issues too, I'm getting better and I'm a lot happier now. A lot of the time it's a matter of perspective. A lot of things aren't worth getting upset over. They are a small blip in your life that you'll probably forget about days later. If you change your perspective before you're extremely angry it's so much easier

I can’t stand ugly people, a very specific kind. Where they make its the worlds problem. I’m going to be as clear as I can through text.

I don’t mean people who’ve been in accidents disfiguring them, or ugly people who actively try to look better matched with a beautiful personality. I specifically men genetic abominations that try to guilt people for not wanting to be with them/fuck them/marry etc.

They ALWAYS are matched with an even uglier personality and never practice what they preach. If you acknowledge you’re not even average in appearance, that looks can get you ahead in life/better treatment, and want this beautiful woman or man than you will have to try harder to achieve a better level of attractiveness.

Nobody is obligated to love you, especially if you’re disgusted with the sight of yourself. I tired of ugly people wanting the cream of the crop of a partner but not someone their own level. Surgery is more affordable than ever, work out, style yourself, work on not being such an ugly person on a personality level. You can hold that anger in all you want that a woman turned you down or your dream man “would never notice you” but if you’re doing nothing to be as close to attractive as the person you want while lashing out at the world you deserve to die alone.

Up until high school I wanted to be an airplane when I grew up. Not an airplane pilot, an airplane. It was around that time I gave up my dream because I realized I would be too small. However, I started reading about airplane crashes and even though it was super morbid, it piqued my interested in being an airplane again. Now I just want to run around with my arms out and say things that a ground proximity warning system would say like "Terrain terrain", "Don't sink" and "Whoop whoop pull up"

Is this copypasta? Saved.

I'm like your friend and it was the right choice for me, it worked out well for both my happiness and finances. But I still find myself wishing I had a degree sometimes. My earning potential is limited, I can't do things like teach english overseas, people might think I'm dumb or lool down on me for being uneducated, I have fewer career options, etc. You can still do an office job one day if that's what you want, but it's good if you have other choices.

That said it depends how long you've been studying and how much student debt you're in. I only had 8k debt when I dropped out so I wasn't bothered, but if you're a good way through your degree you may as well finish. If you've just started and really don't see a future in it, you might want to cut your losses.

>>435606
All I can say is that I'm like your friend as well. My boring office job affords me the luxury of time to spend with friends and family, and to indulge in hobbies that make my life fulfilling. I do have a degree, but I'm not in my field. I worked in retail/customer service right after college, hoping to make something of myself there, but it was too emotionally and physically taxing that I ended up quitting (I have posts scattered around OT about it lol).

I like the set schedule I have now, rather than an ever changing work schedule to have to work around and constantly sleeping to conserve all my energy only for work and never for fun. After finally leaving and getting my current job, I'm still okay not being in my field. I do envy my friends who end up going into their field, their hard work paid off and they truly enjoy the thing that they do for a living, but for me, what my little money and mostly time that my job can afford me outside of work is what makes my life fulfilling. Even if I was a genius in my field I wouldn't go into it. The jobs are too hectic and time consuming. It'd be like retail again, but instead of snooty customers, just snooty big wigs and whatnot.

It just sounds like I'm bragging about how nice my life is, but what I really hope you'll take away is starting to figure out what you want from life (as horribly cheesy as that sounds). What are your priorities? Do you think it would be more fulfilling to you to have a job that has you deal in what you're passionate in? Or would you be happy enough with a (non customer service related) job that would afford you things you care about outside of work? I don't think you'll figure out the answer to this for a while, but it's something to thing about.

Ultimately whether university is worth or not is up to you. Even though I didn't get a job in my field, basically every other aspect about student life and making friends and whatever made the debt that I'm in now worth it (it was a hefty amount but no where near the amount some of my friends graduated with since I got more financial aid). There's so much pressure to make something of yourself immediately after college/when you're still young, but I think it's okay to flip flop about and take the time you need to discover what you really want to do.

I wish you good luck in the future anon! Sorry if my post wasn'tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I don’t know how I’m college educated and I can’t write a good fucking cover letter I feel like a lost cause lmao. I honestly just want a low effort grunt job for the last two years of college but I’m actually seeing real potential career jobs offered in my area that I’d be a fool not to apply to. It’s just that I feel I have the worst luck in getting a job, I stupidly left my easy well paying job last year and I haven’t been able to find another since, not even a shitty job. I don’t know what’s wrong with me any anons have suggestions about writing a decent cover letter so I can at least make up for my lack of experience

>>435954
This may not be a good idea but it’s worked for me I recommend googling cover letter templates from x field you are interested in. Then go to like the 3rd page in the list of results find a good one and reword the fuck out of it. Again hopefully someone has better advice than me but it’s honestly what I’ve done

>>435954
You can take online classes for just about anything anon.
Not saying it's a sure thing, but if you really want to learn there's probably an online resource on skillshare or something like that.

And I think most public libraries have free resources on how to do stuff. I believe you can totally take like an hour a day to put some effort into figuring out a cover letter.

Are there any male comedians that aren't secretly creeps??

>>436021
>im not a fangirl
>proceeds to try to convince people why he's not just another a druggie piece of shit with minimal talent


kek

>>436064
Gonna kind of ask something similar but
Are there any male rock stars that aren't/weren't awful?
I know nothing is sacred anymore but it's so disappointing when you have to learn about someone whose art/music you love be total scum of the earth. It's to a point where I'm not sure if I should even care anymore and just appreciate the music they created because literally all of them suck as humans lol
Also as rock stars I feel they get even more free passes than celebrities have. How many underage girls have they all fucked?

Kinda related but not but the talk about Bam Margera and Johnny Knoxville and such is jarring because like every other teenager obviously I liked them and had no way of knowing what horrible people they were.

>>436016
So is Billie Joe Armstrong okay?

>>436076
i have yet to see anything bad about chester bennington tbh
or any of the other guys in linkin park for that matter
off the top of my head, i cant think of many other semi popular or very popular rock musicians from a band that didnt have at least one piece of shit

>>436076
honestly any male who willing gets into a band and wants to tour probably is a piece of shit, not to pink pill or anything but its reality. the amount of young girls they take advantage of is fucking disgusting

slight blogposting but I dated a guy who was in a smaller semi popular band for awhile when I was 19 and yeah…he recently got kicked out for sleeping with multiple underaged girls, its a fact in any part of the industry with male "rockstars" and band guys

How to not blow your brains out while in an LDR?

>>435944
Always have plans to meet up regularly and have a solid endgame in regards to when you will finally live together. It's not going to work out if you don't do these things.

t. anon who was in LDR with someone over ten thousand miles away, finally moved in together last year.

why are roasted brussels sprouts so good

>>435862
LMAO at the man next to her trying to calm her down.
Yeah, I imagine dealing with her irl must be annoying, but I enjoy seeing her passion and conviction in whatever she's talking about. At least she takes advantage of that powerful voice of hers lol.
Slight blogpost, but I guess I kinda look up to her a little because I'm the complete opposite of that. If I were in that interview I would probably cry for being yelled at.
Again, thanks for taking your time to answer, anon.
Danke schön!

Anyone here in the adoptables scene?
Do you think it has enough of a market to make a dedicate web marketplace for them or is it a dumb idea?

read like the first chapters of that after fic (just after harry fingers her lol), I started out doing it for the meme but then I got invested in the pining and now I feel sad and lonely in my 22 khhv glory. I haven't even properly liked anyone since 8th grade. I'm really awkward and self isolating and only ever see the same 2 people my age on a semi-regular basis. would be nice to desire anyone again snd feel desired, although that seems more and more like a very ooc and foreign concept. this is why I stopped reading fics but also I'm bit upset at myself for getting so invested in a fucking 1D self insert wattpadd one lmao

>>434214
Sometimes I think boys stop hanging around other woman so much just as a precaution so they don't make their girlfriend jealous.

Today I discovered the guy I have a crush on has a fetish for transgender women. When I asked him about it he said it was just a kink and nothing more and that he is ''totally straight'' but it was very clear that he was lying. I'm slightly heartbroken since we were getting really close. I haven't liked anyone as much as I liked him.

>>436036
I'm high libido and I feel the same deep down. If I could make myself and everyone else asexual I'd do it.
I'd want to keep romantic feelings though, I think cuddling and kissing a single life partner would be nice to keep around.

>>436052
As depressing as that is, at least you learned of his proclivities before anything got to serious. Bullet dodged.

>>435843
I think makeup looks so much better when it's just there to complement your features instead of turning you into a drag queen wannabe.

I fucking hate the term "snack" for an attractive person, it sounds fucking stupid and annoying even when used ironically. Double annoying if its spelled "snacc"

>>435951
>>435843
Agree. No make-up make up is the best. I also like some really avant garde editorial looks (for artsy parties and photos etc) but the drag-queen instaglam make up needs to die asap.

It's so annoying to see threads constantly derail over race because that topic is so fucking boring and overdone yet it's the one that sets everyone off the worst. Makes threads look active when it's actually just sperging again.

It's funny when people like this dismiss gender criticals as evil terfies but seem to have similar ideas about the whole gender thing being nonsense as radfems have

>>435770
In private or closed off conversation, yes it does peak people and mostly the general disgust is pretty common only quietly. But tras control the public narrative and they're always the victims even when attacking a rape relief center for women.

>>435972
Alot of people know that r/traaaannnnns is basically a meme but it's kinda just funny in a sad way that you can be so far progressive that you circle right back into being sexist. Because women are only long hair, skirts and a uterus to them

>>435744
As someone said above, when they start harassing heterosexual men more, it will hopefully start coming to a head. No real idea on what the tipping point could be. Trans women taking over maxim/sports illustrated? All trans cheerleaders for sports teams? Something that's really going to rile up the coal rolling good ol boys.

>>435692 I wouldn't really call creepshow a beginner, she has been drawing a while she just sucks and doesn't try to improve. She seems to actually believe that her lack of skill really is her personal "style." And she has enough retarded edgelord fangirls to reinforce it.
