I don't like brutalist architecture. It's so ugly and anti human. I see people loving it because its minimalist or it fits their Akira style neo Tokyo wet dream of huge ugly cyberpunk cities, but to me it's like the reverse of nature. Just depressing to look at in general

>>805077It's not a bait. Straight women only want to use feminism to make their relationships with men "better" and "safer", sometimes "equal" even, even though this dynamic is simply not possible, or they're just failing to achieve it. They don't want to be free from men, that's why feminism is a meme.
https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/606568/This is what pisses me off about some women on this site and many straight women in general. They want an 50/50 relationship, but they expect "traditional" dating. They want men to do 50/50 of housework, but then they cry that men aren't providers anymore. I'm not dating men but it's a no surprise that heterosexual couples are such a fucking mess, both men and women want to eat the cake and have it too.
There's no "equal" relationship in tradshit. Be a trad waifu if you want, but don't call yourself a feminist and don't cry that your man doesn't do this and that. You have to fucking decide what you want, it's either one thing or another. I know that scrotes want a maid and a breeding mare who will coddle them, but I literally don't know what straight women want anymore. I don't understand.

There is a Christian married couple with children, where a man decides that it's too boring to have one wife, so he decides to have two (by asking a Latin woman who doesn't know English to join them; benefits her because she gets American visa) where he would do nothing but ignore and talk shit about his wife, calling her 'the large wife', when a second one is 'the tiny wife". The saddest part is that this woman keeps convincing herself that it's only her fault for feeling bad about the whole situation.

I found a couple of John Mulaney's specials pretty fun, but I'm hardly emotionally invested in him as a human being, to the point that I'm beginning to sour on him just from the way people baby him on social media. "Uwu hope he gets better" "he deserves the world" give me a break. He's a celeb who abused drugs to deal with the stress of touring, like so many do. It's good that he ultimately got help but the way he started a new comedy show right after is unsettling. And I think he's a real shithead for leaving his wife right after finishing rehab.

>>805636I don't think men can keep faithful in these scenarios. Maybe other women could.
My parents had a similar setup in their marriage (slept in separate spaces) but ultimately it became a crutch of issues when they realized they were doing it because they couldn't actually stand to be together in an intimate capacity. At first it was about dumb yet understandable things, like the fact that he would snore loudly or that they'd want to watch different things as they fell asleep. Over time it became apparent that they resented each other and were no longer that attracted. Which is something I feel would have been caught and addressed earlier had they been around each other in close quarters. Stepdad wound up cheating on my mom. Yeah she got her space, but that was the cost.
It's just my anecdotal evidence, but I just feel most people aren't with the right person if they can't stand to be around each other most the time.
No. 805692
>>805685I think it's nuanced, and can be very different in various cases. Like in your example it didn't came out of the desire to have own space as much as desire to be away from the person; I guess this could have gone unnoticed in the beginning but ultimately with motivation like this I guess being separate just encourages never addressing the issues and falling apart eventually.
I disagree that living together = faithfulness and apart = cheating though. If man wants to cheat they'll do it regardless. I lived with my ex, we were together all the time, no issues ever so it's not a problem of not addressing something and still he's cheated on me many many times, just waited for me to go to work or something. Right now I'm dating a guy I love, we spend every weekend together and at least 2 nights during the week, I enjoy every second spent with him so it's not about avoiding something I can't stand, but I love our separate time equally. Ultimately if he wants to cheat he will do it, even if I'm watching his back on a daily basis. Nothing can prevent that.

I dunno if this opinion is unpopular or not honestly but there's no way I could say it in my social circle – if you're a straight woman chasing cock actively you sound like a fucking clown talking about how men ain't shit and we should kill all men. Some of my coworkers are always saying this and it drives me crazy. Stop constantly fucking men then! Stop obsessively insta-stalking every man who gets hired here! Stop talking about how badly you want a man! Being a straight woman is a curse and if you need romantic and sexual fulfillment you have to not constantly talk about how much you wish men would die ok??? Of course men are not going to be interested in you if you act openly unhinged. If you want a bf you have to take the fat fucking L like the rest of us hets – even better learn to be happy staying single forever without male companionship but I know they won't.

>>806029complaining that women commiserate about men yet are attracted to men kind of reminds me of picrel
No. 806094
>>806029With all due respect, this is bullshit. It sounds like you believe if a woman is attracted to men, it's her fault and she should stfu & accept it when they abuse her affections? How patriarchal. Women have every right to complain about male behavior. In fact they should complain EVEN FUCKING LOUDER. Rather than policing women's behavior and judging them for seeking solidarity/emotional support from other women, have you ever considered
scrotes might be the real "fucking clowns" for behaving so terribly that even people who love/desire them have consistently low opinions of them?
No. 806113
>>806094NTA, I think the equivocation of this being like patriarchal
victim blaming is pretty far off, and it strips women of their agency, as if their biological needs robs them of any capability of self prioritization.
The patriachial standpoint is,"She didn't choose right, it's her fault she was abused/raped/ect", but the seperatist/blackpill standpoint is, "If you truly understand how evil and parasitical men are, and that any one of them can be hiding their
abusive behaviors until you are entirely trapped(and no matter what choice you make you may abused and it is not your fault for failing to choose right) why would you risk your livelihood for something that WILL stastically fuck you over somehow?
It suppose it really depends on the intensity of what her coworkers are saying, if they are commiserating over hating that their boyfriends are jerking off to porn, that is great and should be encouraged or even amplified, but if they truly hate men and despise almost every aspect of them and spend a good portion of their time talking about how much they hate them, they should die, ect, but still date them, I begin to question if they really need to be trying to dating men to be happy. And it sounds like the latter to me.
No. 806117
>>806113The original anon literally says
>If you want a bf you have to take the fat fucking L like the rest of us hetsAs if there is no option between having standards and attempting to vet a man's quality to the best of your abilities before committing to him and swearing off all men ever for the rest of our lives despite being romantically attracted to them. A happy medium does exist. However I agree that all women, even if they would enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship, have to be prepared for the worst because any person outside of yourself is not under your control and there's no guarantee you'll find one of the few good guys out there.
No. 806141
>>806125I definitely disagree. Of course I don't know all the intimate details of their relationships, but of the people I know, the women who seem to have the best relationships are all pretty average. Not ugly, but not head-turningly beautiful. I feel like because quality men don't weight beauty any higher than other attributes like having a nice personality, being passionate about their career, participating in hobbies, etc, they rarely go for the hottest woman in the room and actually get to know people first. Not to say very attractive women can't have a bunch of other great qualities, but that's not always the case and they're aware of that. Beauty doesn't last forever but a person's good character usually does. As far as intellect goes, they have schooling and decent careers but aren't geniuses, and they're solidly middle class.
No. 806155
>>806138Isn't that tautological?
The best pair up with the best (approximately), although this is only true for looks and easily measurable traits like intelligence.
It's not true for loyalty or for genuinely good caring personalities.*
Assortative mating is very well documented in humans. We mostly get partners who are similar to us, including in levels of attractiveness and income. Successful men date up, they get hotter women as partners, and attractive women date up, they get men of higher income/status.
If you are average you can/will get average.

That's just very normal and I know of no married man who does not do that. Maybe you all come from broken family backgrounds or something? Is that why you have these super weird ideas?
With regards to the whole "looking better than you" thing. I don't get it at all. Why do you want your man to be better looking than you? Also then, if they are genuinely THAT good, why do you expect them to settle for your sorry ass? What do you bring to the table? Because for most of us, it's looks and youth. Don't kid yourself. That is what attracts men, your looks, your health and your youth. And other things like talents and intelligence and personality keeps them interested.

i can get into sad doomer moods about not being hot enough to keep a partner or attract a man. but i have several friends in very happy and healthy relationships with men, and theyre all attractive but i doubt theyre the lolcow version of 10/10 hot.

No. 806174
>>806163Contributing to a shared income is one thing, earning enough to sustain two people and a child by yourself is definitely above and beyond. Especially on top of having a good body and being a genuinely kind person. I know plenty of dudes who financially contribute and supposedly love their wives but are also misogynistic dickheads who whine about their partners when they're around their friends and still watch porn, make sleazy comments about other women and would cheat without ever saying a word if given the opportunity. So yeah, I'd say its rare regardless of whether anyone comes from a "broken home," and you're in denial if you believe most men are above these things.
>if they are genuinely THAT good, why do you expect them to settle for your sorry assThe super hot dude sees his wife as a stunner even though she's objectively average.

this is a niche unpopular opinion but whatever. Naturals that shamed hair grease in order to shill these expensive leave in conditioner products that do nothing for the hair half the time except either leave your hair dry anyway, or that you have to apply 3 different oils anyway to help coax this $20 product into "working".
I started using hair grease again (only cost like $2) and water. And when i tell you my hair feels soft and my scalp isnt flaky!! Not to mention it doesnt shrink my hair even further.
The natural hair community should be ashamed of itself for basically criminalizing hair grease when so many of us and our older generation have sworn by it for DECADES and had big ass fros.

It reminds me of when I lived in a few different apartment buildings and there was always that one nearby apartment where I'd overhear the most
abusive raging men..regularly verbally abusing their family for hours. I'd be listening to make sure it didn't escalate. You'd hear thumps and hope to god it was an object. Ongoing sessions of that. Then you'd meet them out and about and they'd be sweet as pie. I'm not over the top about it but I'm cautious about the whole 'street angel house devil' thing. Seen too many examples of it.

>>807425To add to this, I think with some people (especially those who came from money, or at least never lived in poverty) are used to the quality of life that money provides, so they don’t even think about what it’s like not having it. It’s easy to take constants like that for granted unless you’re mindful. Similarly, few people with access to clean running water think twice about it until it’s cut off. Only then do they realise how much easier it makes life.
Though imo people are never going to fully understand situations unless that’s their life. People fly to Africa for poverty tourism, George Orwell hung out in slums until it got too much, there are TV shows where rich kids go to live with poor kids. They can gain insight from these experiences sure, but I’m doubtful of the extent when they can just opt out and head back to their more comfortable lives.

>>807493While I agree that plus size models look like shit, I completely understand why companies use them. It's all about representation these days, if you have a fat queer disabled trans
POC model you get more brownie points and theoretically more sales. The average person is fat and likes fat models wearing the clothes they want, it gives them an idea on how it looks on their own flabby body. I don't think it's the fashion industry's fault, they're just creating what sells- hamplanets in a culture with skyrocketing obesity and glorification of it.

If you, as an artist, can only make decent art of one body type, that's a personal limitation, not a problem with the subjects around you.
Yeah a fatty won't look sexy to anyone who's not a BBWfag, but when it's about artistic expression, there's a far broader spectrum of things you can do.

>>808574>I think people use looking pretty and looking young interchangeably Definitely, people think women stop being/looking young at the magical age of 30 and it's ridiculous. Their perspective is so warped and it's only going to become more outdated with how much women understand about skincare these days.
Actually, I find that early 30s is when most female actors peak in beauty. When I find someone to be really attractive and check out her IMDB or w/e, that's the age range they tend to be in whatever I'm watching.

>>808867Agreed. Older men have nothing to offer that a younger man can't. When I see a beautiful younger man I cant help but feel sorry that he is going to look like that for approximately a year before he gets too old and ugly like all older men eventually do. Younger men have more energy and desire. They are better in bed. Their dicks still haven't gotten wrinkly and busted. Their balls don't sag like a bull being castrated. Their faces haven't gotten bloated and fat like DiCaprio. Younger men's faces look better when they are still youthful. Younger men have more hair, meanwhile older men are balding or have the most dry straw hair in existence from the abuse of 3-in-1 shampoo. Older men have decades of shit diet that makes their skin look like leathery tissue. Older men aren't funny. Older men ruin every womans day. Older men don't have stamina. Older men can't cum for shit. You get an older man off and he is on the verge of dying from cardiac arrest. Older men smell like musty frozen food with a hit of cheap beer. Older men are ugly and undesirable. Older men suck and any man reading this should fear ageing because you are never going to be desirable or wanted again after 23. Older men do have something to look forward to though, and that's colon cancer from their man diet. <3

>>808913And yet there is a younger man out there who would not mind cherishing an older woman regardless of appearance. Older women are selfless and caring. Older women are such pure energy, they lighten up the mood. Older women make everybody feel safer. Older women are actually fun and have better attitudes in life than most older men. Contrary to what you believe a few bitter older women from their failures in life don't constitute for the majority of friendly older women who have zero intentions of harm. Meanwhile every older man likely jerks off to teen porn while berating their wife and fantasizes about their 19yo IHOP waitress in the most disgusting manner. Older men be like, let me harass this girl old enough to be my daughter and feel zero shame. Older men have absolutely nothing to offer other than lies, abuse, regret, and gingivitis kisses. Older men are creeps. Older men will commit the most horrendous crimes in history, but no anon, apparently the worst one can be in life is getting fat and drinking wine which will actually get you drunk rather than shitty beer that tastes like piss. When younger women get with an older man it's because she is traumatized, not because he's actually worth loving.

We need to take matters into our hands. Animals don't have patriarchy & a society like ours. That's why both genders are cute. It's natural selection.

>>809106Unpopular opinion: Sexual assault will never be as traumatising for males as it is for us. A lot of the time, they actually like it when it’s someone they find attractive. The only exception is when they’re really, really young, or if it’s another man and they’re not gay. For girls, even if you “like” the person, it completely fucks you up, talk less of the pregnancy risk, bodily trauma and stigmatisation.
Those comments where guys sexualise cases of teachers and students aren’t just a handful of coomers being shitty. Males know themselves and each other.
Accepting this was kind of the nail in the coffin for me. They can’t even relate to us on trauma, and that’s also why they
victim blame so often. They will never get it. I still get angry I was born female sometimes, it’s like literally everything is skewed in their favor.
No. 809507
>>809320I feel like vomiting to even recall this, but I knew a man who was sexually assaulted a child and then went on to rape a woman as an adult. It was one of those blurry consent situations where she willingly went to his place and started making out with him, but she was extremely drunk at the time and got upset as soon as they actually started having sex. Didn't say anything, but wasn't into it. He realized this but never asked her if she wanted to, I dunno, stop. He basically chalked this up to being a bad, but not nonconsensual experience for her, and when I called him on his shit I brought up the fact that I was shocked he could do that to someone even after having dealt with something similar as a child.
He brought up the fucking fact that some abuse
victims go on to abuse others, and I said maybe so but not the majority… and I know plenty of assault
victims who have chosen not to do the same to others. He said the ones I know are primarily women and they just "don't have the same opportunities as men." AS IF THAT JUSTIFIED IT. Hey shit-for-brains, if a woman had a man in a drunken stupor unable to properly consent and fend off someone who wanted to fuck them, they'd be at risk but the majority of women CHOOSE NOT TO. You made a perfectly cognizant decision to stick your dick in a human while she was inebriated and stressed, despite knowing how traumatic it is for your body to be used against your will. And all you can do in the present is come up with exuses and shift blame to avoid feeling empathy for her? Unfuckingbelievable. Men really are inhuman.

choice, not because their history forced them to be evil. Also - fucking gross and horrifying that 38% of men outright lied about being assaulted to try and get more sympathy.

>>809531I'm nta but it's a mixture of internalized misogyny and maladaptive behaviors to express their version of love. Abusers hate the idea of being abandoned and "less than," thus they do everything in their power to manipulate, trick and control the
victim into being completely dependent on them so they can never leave. Their idea of a relationship is one that always has an unequal power dynamic, someone in charge and someone forced to follow/that they own, and they will never see the other person as an equal. You are "loved" only so long as you are acting in a way that is pleasing to him, and his goalposts for what makes him happy will change based on his whims and mood from moment to moment.

Heterochromia eyes are extremely ugly on fictional characters, especially anime characters. The colors rarely look good together nor do they suit the rest of the design, character designers always choose the most random, brightest MS paint-tier colors and just slap them together. Subtle differences in color would look so much better, or just not doing it at all.
Plus it's usually a sign that the character sucks, like a red flag for shitty characters, yes canon characters too not just fan-made. I have never EVER seen a single good, well written or at least likeable character with this trait, it's often worst girls/worst boys who have them, just like flesh fangs. Preexisting characters with such traits are literally no different from shitty sparkledog ocs, I'd say it's almost worse since the former is supposed to be made by grown adult "professionals."
The only mismatched eye design I've seen that's remotely decent is that annoying desu girl because the colors at least go with the design as a whole.
Second opinion that's somewhat related, but most characters made in the dress up game and other similar threads are also ugly, clashing, and over accessorized. Not saying you should stop playing though.

I don't get D'Angelo Wallace. He always speaks like a teenage girl in 2016 "highkey same, literally me, relatable, I hate myself too sis, you're cancelled sweetheart uwu". I feel like in 2015 he probably had a "touch my butt and buy me pizza" shirt. His opinions are bland and lack much nuance. All of his content is about vapid celebrity/influencer drama brain rot. He has never had a spicy take that wasn't already the general mainstream opinion of people his age. He feels like the kind of reactionary woke zoomer to call an 18 year old dating a 17 year old a pedophile. His fake self-confident humor is the most cringe to me because it's so derivative: "I get to talk about whatever I want because it's my channel and I'm an icon". This isn't really a D'Angelo Wallace problem since so many gen z youtubers speak this way and I can't wait for it to die.

Search results were just a bunch of speculation on whether he's gay and whether he's secretly a transman. Who his secret partner is. Thanks Google. I still don't get him or see the charisma but I think he has a young audience lusting after him more than anything else.

I love that school gives kids structure and something to do.

If you're at a low point when you happen to meet a scrote.. play it careful. Don't pour your heart out and tell all your hardships to a guy too soon. If he's dying to hear that stuff right from the start, it can be a bad sign. He can use all that info against you later on. I've read some horror stories about that. Way worse than my experience.

There's a red flag I wish I had known about before.

I've had legitimate mental breakdowns in high school and I don't want to go back because I love my independence now. I love living alone, not talking to my family unless I want to, being with whoever I want to be with without my mother nagging and calling me every ten minutes to come back home NOW, girls spreading rumours about me in school, people mocking me for whatever I did that they decided was cringe that day, etc.

I can't stand it when people talk about their plastic surgery changing their lives like they had a physical or mental illness that required a proper medical treatment. Thinking you're ugly isn't the same thing as actually being physically injured or disabled, calm down. Not to blog post but I will never get how I get told by my family that I really didn't need any growth hormone injections back then and that being short is ~cute~ but my sister getting a nose job for being laughed at sometimes at school was absolutely necessary. I guess having underdeveloped reproductive organs, chronic fatigue and depression and osteoporosis in my 20s is kawaii then.

>>811071Partially that. I blame the government for not paying essential workers, since the beginning and those re-entering the workforce, an extra couple $ per hour during these lock-downs. Many employers were given breaks and funds by the government, but essential workers haven't seen a cent from them and most people who were able to stay home were making equal to, if not more, what most of us essential workers were making going out and risking being exposed this entire time.
I also bet we wouldn't see this large scale of a "strike" if unemployment checks were the equivalent of making $8 an hour the entire time. The thing is, we would see more people searching for jobs, which is what they wanted to avoid because there's a virus. Alas, people have bills to pay, unemployment rates are incrementally being reduced, and people's mental health is at stake when staying home for a whole year.
As long as sanitary cautions, such as capacity limits, masks, and 6ft apart are still required, the government should have been paying essential workers for exposing themselves in these conditions. The labels of hero and essential do absolutely nothing. Like, I understand the side of having the employers be responsible for this pay, but a lot of these requirements are federal. It's only fair for all.
I really do hope blue and pink collar positions see a rise in wages, but I am highly doubtful. Trust me, if I knew I was eligible for unemployment I would stop showing up to work as soon as possible because I'm basically making $0 an hour in unemployment rate terms.

It's so annoying when people comment things like "imagine getting paid to eat food and roast people all day!!1!" on masterchef or other judged cooking shows. The judges aren't just random people like you and I who see if they like the taste of something or not- they have a trained tongue and an expert understanding of flavor interaction and food chemistry. Most average home-cooks barely grasp the interactions of salt, fat, acid, and heat so it's a bit annoying when I see these kind of jobs as judges belittled as 'just eating food'. I'm being a bit of a sperg since these comments are mostly jokes of course and it doesn't help that american TV is too scared to let the judges ACTUALLY discuss the food with actual tasting language since it could go over some heads. Sometimes they'll mention something is vegetal or oxidized but mostly they'll just say "Wow, this mint sure is bold!"

I guess ultimately it's a pretty complicated subject, it's an animated character that has no agenda so it's a choice of an adult animator to show her like this, but then again, if you're not wired to see children bodies as sexual, you should not see that frame as sexual either. Might be a reach but it kinda reminds me of this whole idea of forcing little girl toddlers to wear "bras" on the beach just because they're females, even though their bodies are identical to toddler boys. It creeps me out someone demanding that clearly thinks that female toddler chest is indecent somehow.

>>811737I'll do you one better: There's actually nothing wrong with collecting toys and even playing with them as an adult.
I'm still pissed my parents ostracized me and threw out a lot of my things when I was 11/12 by acting like I suddenly had to mature up past things I loved and privately amused myself with. My make believe magic is pretty much gone, and all I can think to myself is how much simpler and soothing life could be at times if I could go back to being content with making shit up by myself for hours on end. Actually can't wait to have kids for this reason because I'd legitimately enjoy watching their cartoons and being involved in their games and playtime if they wanted.
People who concern themselves too much about what makes them look immature to others are often immature themselves and just can't admit they like juvenile shit because it's a threat to their ego.

>>812268>>812368my province has one of the lowest minimum wages in canada and has slashed all social and medical services funding and infrastructure so badly that it is deplorable
i think people should be advocating more for workers protections, good benefits, PTO, better mat leave and paternity leave (not #notallmen-ing at all. many women have to give up their jobs or face financial and career insecurity, imbalances in their relationships or marriage when they are forced to be MIA much longer. shouldering the brunt of childcare when fathers have less motivation to take paternity leave and help out/distribute childcare and housekeeping tasks more evenly. it's unreasonably tough for a mother to return to the workforce in many instances, whether due to resume gap or people being biased against female employees with young children. more often than not this creates significant tensions in the household between partners, and creates financial dependency on the male), accommodations for disabled workers and better work placement programs for people on disability, unemployment or collecting stimulus so that it is a reasonable and actively beneficial option to work again if they are capable of doing so
better, more accessible and comprehensive publicly funded training programs for certain jobs as well, like transit workers, certain types of healthcare-adjacent workers, emergency operators, people working in education in administrative or secretarial capacity, energy and waste management, something to encourage far more people to work in the public sector
i think these would go much farther in improving quality of life and ability to afford to live and balance of work/life. most people my age are more enticed by wider availability of stable and secure jobs with good benefits than raising minimum wage alone, even if they are outspoken supporters of a min. wage increase
it would be more sustainable, and maybe by the time post-gen Z generation are our age, they may inch towards what is so coveted and resented about the stability and freedoms boomers had with regards to secure employment and being able to afford homes
access to education is also obviously crucial, and better legislation around pre-hiring discrimination. in US it is illegal to outright ask a worker's age, disability, nationality, there should be similar protections for other biases which preclude certain classes from being considered in the hiring process. i do think in certain types of positions education should not be such a massive factor, when it is irrelevant to the skillset or knowledge base required, particularly for meager pay.
base minimum wage feels like such a small symptom of many larger problems

My friends used to enjoy complaining a lot about how white men fetishize Asian women and while I definitely see examples of it (not denying it happens), I always felt that non-white men fetishized Asian women way more. Whenever I've been hit on for my race or openly fetishized in public it's never been by a white guy. I never knew what to say when my friends would go on these long rants about how they'll never date a white guy again because they're afraid of being fetishized when men of other ethnicities are also really fetishistic of Asian women. I mean I wouldn't feel safe or comfortable around any man, regardless of whether he was white or not, which is why I feel like the whole woke feminist "straight white men suck" dialogue is stupid because non-white men are equally as creepy, fetishistic, and weird (sometimes even moreso? at least in my experience). Obviously I never verbalize this because I don't want to come off like I'm defending white guys or something and I don't want to sound racist lol, but just because a man isn't white doesn't exclude him from all the other scrote-like qualities that make him a menace to women. and ironically, one of said friends who loved shitting on white men is dating a white man now so go figure.

The only one true real way to filter men, that has always worked and will always work, and that will get you somebody who actually cares about you, is to not have sex with them immediately, and make sure they aren't getting any on the side either.

>>813030Anon, a guy who simps for you automatically wants to buy you things. Not to brag but I’m “popular” with men (barfff) by virtue of being light skin, skinny and asian, and this has been the case 100% of times. I never even let them know sex or relationship is ever on the table. Needless to say all the het relationships I’ve been in, men had no qualms paying. Yes I only talk to men I’m attracted to. To say that women have to choose between to men who pay and men they like is FUDing. I understand that conventional attractiveness is a privilege that gives some women more freedom to be choosey. But At the core, men know they are the ones hardwired to compete with other men for mates and they automatically offer devotion, money, and “personality” to win women they truly like. You notice men are extremely susceptible to oneitis? He’d never ask to split the bill with her. From my observation, these women aren’t necessarily stacy in terms of looks but they managed to make a scrote feel some type of way and that’s what men are addicted to. It’s a fine line, men want to feel special but they don’t want you easy to please aka accessible.
Fuck, even broke college dudes want to buy me games and useless otaku merch, being poor has never deterred them from simping on women, they willfully offer up whatever pittance they can. Assuming we’re talking about adult dating where men have jobs, if he wants to be a stingy fucker, it absolutely means he’s not that into you and he will upgrade. Simple as that.

I don't hate Americans
Americans, in my opinion, aren't inherently bad but if you see most of their problems it just stems from brainwashing from greedy corporations or imposed things that people get taught
Americans are fat because they aren't taught portion control and their food is constantly poisoned with shit because people rather just give Americans a million health problems to keep them addicted to junk food than to chill out with all the unnecessary sugar. It sucks because the once a week treats most people enjoyed as children are now every day type stuff and things like snack cakes, soda, juice and even milk is overloaded with sugar to the point where it completely ruins my taste for the treat, same with the amount of salt in soda, chips, and even "healthy" snaçks like nuts.
Consumerism is shoved down Americans throat even by their own family. They'll be completely broke but they'll "have" to go to the casino for their 21st birthday and spend 200 dollars, they'll "have" to go on that summer vacation to Cancun or Bahamas while making 10/hr at the coffee shop, they'll "have" to spend like 900 a month on beauty treatments like Mani pedis, eyebrow waxing, hair treatments, etc because "that's just part of being a woman". Because no one teaches them about budgeting and their family and the media usually let's it happen
Americans are the worst attention whores as well, even worst than east asians or south Americans I have to say too and 9/10 of them are extremely mentally ill and actually seem to like being mentally ill because of either aesthetic or they can get away with being a shit head and of course everyone else eggs it on

Plus size models are extremely normal, Tess Holliday is seen as hot, people calling every woman that's obese "thicc" even if they aren't portioned to be curvy for their size, novels written by and for fat women about some hunk that loves them for their hamplanetness. You can even see it with anons here "haha chubby girls are so cute I didn't mean it like that though, I prefer chubby girls!", People who date skinny or athletic girls and make them gain weight because they want them to be thick
>Inb4 personal preferences don't matterIt is when it's such a large group, every single thing, you, I and everyone else has an effect on society, if even one or two guys decide fat girls are better do you have any idea how many women will just trash their bodies for that? On top of that in some areas fat girls are becoming the ideal for a lot of people. Anyone who denies that Americans have been idealizing fat girls is either blind or retarded

this was the franchise that pulled in so many degenerates drawing human-toiler porn and pregnancy-scat-whatever.

I’m so sorry if I offend some anons but my god, some women don’t look good in makeup and I’m not saying that to be mean at all they just look like a weird oiled up greasy pig and it always seems to look very bad on lighter skinned individuals unless they’re very good at skin-matching their foundation. A lot of makeup trends mimic sextoy faces, the overdrawn lips, cheap eyelashes, it’s like taking a shit on your face. Why would you do this to yourself?

>>814989>preserved with a lot of fillers like salt and sugarCanned beans do not have sugar, and they still have way less salt and sugar than junk food. Dried beans are also way less expensive than canned beans.
A primarily plant based diet is actually extremely cheap and the best thing you can do for your body. It does wonders for your health and energy. It does take a bit more time to cook, but no more than 3-4 hours a week if you batch cook.
Sugar addiction is a real addiction, and without proper nutrition education and access to inexpensive grocery stores (Aldi, Lidl, even some local markets), people are going to continue eating fast foods loaded with sugar and preservatives. Those companies try to make their foods as addicting as possible so you keep coming back for more.

>>814941I usually assume that they have tried all they could to remedy the situation but didn't work so they cutting their loses. I can forgive someone cutting out their relationships by half over their studies though- in theory studying for something has a end goal unlike a relationship, so not something one should prolong unless they want to. Hell if they don't want to put in the work to make the bond work or it has turn
abusive or
toxic maybe it is a good sign to jump ship.

>>814987The honest truth is that nobody looks good in makeup in real life, anon. Makeup looks good exclusively in photographs and on film. It's sort of engineered to look good specifically in those settings. When you're going about day-to-day life and you see a person wearing makeup, it always looks exactly as you described, like they have a weird face that's either crusty or covered in grease and they drew on it with dirty markers. Other than insecurity, I'm honestly not sure why anyone continues to wear it at this point.

>>815010I literally don’t care, eating beans every day isn’t nutritious, why do poor people always have to get the scraps? Why do eurofags not understand that it’s a bit more complicated then “hur durr it cheap” and that cheap fruits at the market are because of mass yield of veggies which equals shit quality. Tell me you had a Walmart tomato and then tell me it’s very good before then they go extremely bad in a few days. It’s about the experience anon, not every poorfag wants to devour beans for the rest of their life that’s harsh punishment. Riddle me this, why dis nigga eatin beans at the movie theatre?

>>815028>It’s about the experience anon, not every poorfag wants to devour beans for the rest of their life that’s harsh punishment.tbh I get it. I'm not poor or overweight but I know that when I don't feel great, the last thing I want is fucking beans and veggies. And if I was either of those things I would definitely not be feeling great much of the time and I would gravitate towards the temporary gratification of junk food.
People are fat because they don't prioritize not being fat, for whatever reason. As long as they can admit that (rather than making excuses like muh genetics etc), I can't really be mad at them.

>>815032I eat meat everyday and I'm pretty poor.
The only reason I can afford to is because I cook myself instead of buying fast food.
A burger and fries from Burgerking costs 8€ and it is only one meal.
With 8€ I can buy a week's worth of meat.

>>815028Beans aren't just for poor people, though. And no one said you have to eat beans every night. There's also rice, pasta, tofu, lentils, chickpeas, etc, which are all pretty cheap. Also non vegan options are ground turkey and family packs of chicken breast.
These kinds of foods are bland if you believe them to be. But add dried herbs, spices, aromatics, and other veggies and you have a delicious, cheap, and healthy meal.
Also, I'm also a burgerfag who isn't poor. I eat the above completely by choice. I don't want processed salts, sugars, and other crap in my body. Healthy eating and avoiding sugar have so many short- and long-term benefits. I used to be addicted to sugar, and I hope I never get to that point again.
An unhealthy treat or meal is fine every once in a while, but as a society we should start "eating to live" rather than "living to eat"

>>815028Ntayrt but I tend to agree, I can imagine a lot of creative ways to cook beans but even I would get sick of eating them everyday. In the same vein of how I would have been miserable and bored eating grains and gruel designated for the poors hundreds of years ago.
It's just depressing and I really feel for people looking for tasty alternatives and escapes.
>>815038Rice and pasta are nutritionally devoid and won't help someone with weight issues. Will agree that lentils and chickpeas (both also legumes..) can add diversity but do take prep the same as tofu does in order to make tasty, assuming someone has cheap and reasonable access to tofu and meat alternatives.

>>815021It's like cosmetic surgery; the stuff you notice makes you think wtf but it's the stuff you don't notice that is good.
Having drag queen techniques go mainstream was the biggest mistake, but inevitable because it encourages the consumer to go through products like they're in a stage production every day.
It's also subconsciously a way to flex to people that you have the money to waste on several layers of bullshit on your face. Kind of like how Americans are obsessed with having terrifying ventriloquist dummy teeth, to show they can afford the dentist.

>>815279I make vent posts with images like that specifically to pre-empt the typical “fuck off BPD cunt” responses. It’s like, on one hand, I want to vent, but on the other, I feel retarded and defective with my emotional issues, and I fear that anons will make me feel like shit for it. It’s unpredictable whether anonymous people will sympathise or be harsh, and that makes me anxious.
On the other hand, it’s really predictable what kind of responses certain pictures will get (if any), and there’s a sort of security in that. If I put some stupid stereotypical Tumblr e-girl kawaii picture with my blogpost, it feels more like I’m making a mockery of my own thoughts and turning my own feelings into “bait”. It adds a level of detachment and irony to everything, and it means that any harsh, angry anons will immediately look kind of dumb to me if they respond like my post is fully “organic”. They’ll be like bots, reacting exactly how I imagined thanks to some picture I knew would only add to their irritation. They probably see me as a bot, too, posting the same NPC-tier images. No one really has to get hurt this way, it feels safer.
