Do you find this to be true?

[Juxtapose]

I don't think it's true because I give out romance to get a feedback loop where I see her be happy and then that makes me happy and then she does something to make me happy and that makes her happy to see me happy, etc..

[Telekinetic-Potato]

This is what I hate about the direction our society is going in. Any amount of humbling yourself is seen as weakness.

being romantic is meant to put the woman up on a pedestal above the other woman in a man’s life. It’s to say “come up here with me” or even to lift her higher.

What kind of man aspires to have a woman who they basically treat like an intern? It actually kinda pisses me off to see women have become so brainwashed that they keep making bad decisions that hurt themselves but double down on them.

[PreferNot2Say]

So you don't think men and women are equal?

[Juxtapose]

@PreferNot2Say he did say he doesn't want men to treat women like interns.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@PreferNot2Say why do you think men and woman are equal? If you had to put it into words? I’ll answer, but I want to know if you actually believe they’re equal or you’re just repeating things. Because that’s honestly like asking if chocolate and vanilla are equal

I don't think it's a rule, but it 100% happens. I've seen it. I don't think being romantic is inherently a matter of being lower value though. Some guys just believe that's the right way to maintain a relationship or that it's how they want to express their feelings. But, as a fact, high value guys don't have to be romantic, and also as a fact, some women look down on guys for being romantic. All my LTRs have all made it clear that being romantic is gross to them.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've never met a woman who looked down on someone being romantic. Why do you get in LTRs with such exhausting women?

[BetaBucks]

Masochism? But for real, I think it's just the type of women that I'm drawn to. Plus, it takes all the pressure off of me anyway.

[slatyb]

No, it's typical BS from a man unable to attract a partner and too insecure to look in the mirror.

Unless you can avoid it.

What do you mean?

[Dongie]

Be real. Do the things that matter when they arise. Don't feel obligated to pacify.

[Dongie]

I dreamed a couple of nights ago. That I was caught in a time loop. Each person killed this person until it came back around. I avoided killing my person, hoping they would figure it out. I had to dodge getting killed, but they finally saw it. Then nobody was killed, and we continued on. Weird.

It is all too rare to find people who can handle one being real. My last girlfriend couldn't even stand me calling her sensitive in a very careful way O_o

What do you think the dream means?

[Dongie]

I don't know. My stinking A/C has been out all summer. Found out Wednesday it's the blower motor that pushes the air through the ducts. With tax and install over 2 stinking thousand dollars. Heh, the whole unit, 5 ton trade outside, and the thing in the attic cost only 7k.

[Dongie]

I wake up in sweat pools. It's miserable.

[Dongie]

I finally looked up the definition. To place side by side. To compare. O'akay

[Dongie]

*5 ton Trane. Man, spell check

[Juxtapose]

Rub ice on yourself and keep a lot of ice cold water nearby.

And yeah that's what the name means.

[Dongie]

I like it. Walked into the shower with my clothes on the other day. Driving me nuts.

[NathanDavis]

stupidest thing I heard today

[OddBeMe]

No pretty much all crap

[KrakenAttackin]

Absolutely true.

[KrakenAttackin]

And the difference between being "romantic" and being "cringe" is how much she likes you.
