If you’re so offended by the media, why not just shut yourself off from it? I used to work in a news agency building and after a few months I thought the world was going to explode because of all the negative stuff I saw almost every minute of my working day. Once I left I just stopped watching the news all together and have been feeling much better about the world than before.
You hate that women are given so much “power” in media and Hollywood, but no one is forcing you to watch any of that. You keep saying south american women are better than north american women, so just talk to south american women. You either like making yourself miserable or you just like the attention you get here too much to stop.
You’re right shutting off the news seems what younger audiences are doing, in droves. The news is literally dying (get ready for someone to post that Fox News still gets big numbers) but the industry as a whole knows what is going on, everyone knows what is going on, traditional news keeps getting hammered and instead of improving they are doubling down.
Where do you go for honest dialogue then? Tell me Danny. where? I can’t even have honest conversation in here without being called all kinds of names. Youtube has some nice channels, but sometimes even they are open to hyperbole or misinformation.
How is what one observes on a daily basis a theory? It isn’t. If one sees anti-male sentiment in news, entertainment, and social media, then a conspiracy exists. That’s aside from even industrious and well-earning women who complain about a pay gap or some other male-female debacle.
I have a well-to-do former classmate who works in Manhatran real estate and is married to an economist. Though I have no clue about strangers’ finances, it’s reasonable to assume they’re doing fine and have a high quality of life. They live on the Upper Westside. I once watched a YT video in which she was interviewed and discussed a male-female issue in the workplace. I thought to myself, “Is this a Goddamned joke?!” I don’t know what such people want or expect.
Crazy isn’t it? it really is insane and I’m shocked that a lot of guys in here don’t notice this. What more do they want ? Well, they literally want to wear skimpy skirts, high heels, have their breasts out, get the attention and the promotion from pigs without actually being hit on by that very pig or anyone else. That’s what they want. They want the power with none of the downside of having that said power. It’s kinda insane. Literally, it makes ZERO sense… but when have women ever made sense?
Women are even being linesmen in soccer games in the Premier League Yorkshire will probably defend it in someway, but yeah… why? like what is the fucking purpose? And now we have to hear that if there’s enough women in tech it’s because there’s discrimination… .WHEN THE FUCK HAVE women ever cared about tech goddamnit? haha it’s madness. Yeah, there’s going to be a few, BUT A FEW, not enough to change the entire demographic. It’s all very crazy.
The is the most reasonable thing you’ve ever said to me. Maybe the ONLY reasonable thing you’ve said to me.
And yes, that’s my exact point. Not that my life is so great or that I’m some model of perfection, but that I’ve learned to choose wisely the people I let close to me, which is what makes my life a much happier one than it was when I selected for the wrong qualities. Now I look for people I can both like and respect. Previously I looked for people I liked, which is pretty much everyone, and felt needed by.
You want a fit grandma in your old age, lol? Find someone for whom fitness is a core value rather than someone who looks good because she’s young.
You want someone who can be your friend? Stop treating women like they’re advantage-taking bots. Some are, most aren’t. The ones who aren’t will be offended by your views and won’t want to be YOUR friend.
I’ll say this, if you really want to engage in honest conversation, maybe change your approach … it doesn’t come across that honest conversation is your goal…
I can’t watch any american news channel. I’ve learned that 2 news agency can report the same event an offer completely different viewpoints. I don’t care for viewpoints, only the facts. So I ignore anything relating to the presenters views and just look for the facts, even if it means looking at 2-3-4 sources. But that’s only for things that catch my attention, which doesn’t usually happen.
Outside of young American girls, the amount of fitness oriented females you will find in the US is miniscule. Like I’ve said and got shot down here in many times, or were accused of being sexist or a scumbag that goes for looks bleh bleh bleh
in the U.S if you aren’t fat, you’re already a catch in the eyes of many men lol. I have been around groups of 20-30 somethings that have literally said “she is fat? no? ok good set me up” lol without knowing anything else about the broad. That’s how crazy it is in the States, unfortunately.
And with this increase desire that women become just like men, as in totally career oriented fuck the family fuck their bodies, fuck everything else that can make them good women you think this Is going to improve? I know it’s not their fault, per say, but who do you blame? Society? the cultural push for this? the elites?
it’s kinda what I’ve always said in here and then people come in saying it’s user error because I haven’t ‘found’ these women. But I have found them, and so have others, that’s not the point, the point is that it’s becoming a rarity and when something is rare the competition to attain this becomes fierce, and hence where women have so much power right now.
A woman in the states that was considered ‘ok’ some 30 years ago is now a 10 and while many guys bend backwards to make enough money, to look good, and to have a well rounded non toxic male personality these women are coasting lol
Elites and some upper-class snobs, who aren’t powerful enough to be elite, who I’m convinced have a diabolical conspiracy against the family unit while keeping theirs pristine.
Hrmm, well we do share everything, and I still find her really attractive and sexy. The closer we got over the years, the more intense the intimacy became. I guess I could see how this wouldn’t work for some people.
Maybe at 19 y/o I wouldn’t want a companion to be my friend. Although there were a few I slayed happily. I just feel that with getting older it feels nice to have someone I feel physically attracted to as well as a person I can talk hockey, shows or anything else. If we wanna get freaky that’s there too. Feels alright to me. Plus, looks don’t last forever. So she better have something I like when that booty turns to mush and those thighs are no longer smooth.
I simply disagree. This has not been my observed experience, and I observe a lot of disparate lives in terms of age and socioeconomic status. I’ve also lived in a variety of settings.
What you’re not seeming to hear on these boards is that people live valid and varied lives (not in flyover country, not in some sort of hothouse situation, not too old to understand) and simply don’t see what you see as being in the majority. There ARE those things you observe - women with ugly attitudes, men who’ll sacrifice their dignity to have a female, any female - but most of us see this as an occasional occurrence (“oh look, an asshole!”), not the new norm.
I acknowledge that the media fosters distortions, but the best response is not to foster equal-but-opposite distortions. The best response is to ignore it all and live well. You hear that as me saying “oh it must be user error” but I think it’s fairer to say that there are more and less gainful ways for any given user to manage the equipment at hand.
I feel like this is occurring in every arena of life. The more we argue amongst ourselves (whether within the family or politically) the less attention we have for the people stealing everything out from under us.
This is completely subjective. I’ve spent most of my adulthood at the low end of my “healthy” BMI, and was probably considered underweight as a teen, so I feel heavy when I’m squarely in the middle of what’s considered a healthy weight for my height. I’m used to being tall and slender, so anything else feels “fat” to me. Some men like dense women, some men like the booty, some men like muscle. I don’t know. I consider overweight women normal (when they’re not me) and don’t think “fat” until they’re obese and appear to be uncomfortably so.
There are also vast differences in what women look like at any given weight. I’m small boned and not particularly muscular, so someone could weigh 15 pounds more than me and wear the same clothing size, or even smaller. But regardless of body composition, 5’4" and 130 is not fat.
Also completely subjective, but I assume that even if they like their women curvy or fluffy, or whatever, fit men are going to want women who are able to be active. I assume that because that’s how I feel. I don’t need my husband to be a fitness buff, and I’m fine with that he carries a little extra weight, but I do need him to be fun to hang out with, so capable of skating or biking or hiking or whatever. I know he feels the same, though I’ve had him say “you’re not going to get too skinny, are you?” when I was dieting. He’s Italian, too, and the women in his family tend to be heavier, young and old alike.
Well said. Remember when Stephanie Buttermore decided to eat like crazy? Everyone was like, OMG you’re getting so fat. I was over here thinking. That woman never looked better in her whole life. My opinion. Bless her caloric surplus.
I agree with you here 100%, I’ve always have, but like I’ve always said the topics I discuss are of interest to me, even if they may not exactly apply to me. I want to emphasize this again, for the 10000x time.
What I got from that article is what I always thought… hairdressers are usually really happy women and they stay good looking way into their late adulthood lol
We have this amenity locally called rails to trails. They’ve taken the old railroad beds that used to transport coal from the mine portals to the coke works in the first part of the last century and turned them into walking/biking trails.
I go out on them frequently because they’re close, convenient, and very nice. When I’m out there at any given point or time, the number of women walking, jogging and biking so completely outweighs the men that it’s ridiculous. It’s like this at literally every outdoor recreational area or amenity that I’ve been to in the last few years.
So at least around here, there they are. Outside walking, jogging and biking. A lot of them look like they hit the gym too.
