Just wanted to reply to emphasize this.
About 5 years ago now I was new at a job in Seoul, South Korea, and I was trying to get to know my new coworkers. I'd quickly learn they were the typical early/mid 20s vapid SoCal types, but MAN, I was blown away.
I shared a cab with these two girls on the way over to Hongdae or Itaewon (Can't remember) and just watched them open their Tinder and interact with it.
Where any guy might take a little time and parse through girls, maybe send a message on one or two people -- these girls were just LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT... "oh, he's cute" RIGHT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT -- in about 12 seconds.
Then they bemoaned how the radius was only 200km or whatever.
The moment really stayed with me because I knew that's how it was, but it was totally wild seeing it live.
Kind of ironic I met my wife on Tinder a few years later (it's the only real way to date in Korea for expats. My wife is not American, though).
Man, just the thought of seeing that right in front of me makes me want to just drop everything and join a monastery. Maybe Mt. Athos.
That's kind of how I felt. I knew I was in this weird grey area where I was a male coworker, so I was outside of this lover/friend circle and they could let their guard down a bit.
The rest of the conversation was just as wild. "Oh, I thought you were staying at Guy A's apartment" "Oh, no, only when I don't want to pay for a taxi. I'm really more interested in Guy B but ... blah blah blah"
Just completely wild seeing and hearing behind the curtain. Repulsive, too, imo.
100%. Luckily I don't think I would go for women who would do that, but eh, a lot of women are like that these days.
You know, the dating market is absolutely messed up right now. I don't begrudge the men who say "screw it" and go mgtow or whatever. I probably wouldn't even think of bothering with it if I didn't want to raise a family one day.
Yep. 100% Sympathize with men who go their own way. I'm lucky in that I was able to travel, met a great non-American with goals to move to America and make something of herself. Best of both worlds, really.
If you're in America, try the red states where Conservative women still hold on to Conservative values. I know it might not seem as appealing, but farm girls and those who still do manual labor around a family-owned business are likely to be more level-headed and grounded if she has both her parents in her life (especially if both parents are hardworking and hold classic TradCon values).
Anything outside of the Little House on the Prairie and you're gambling with a potential thot.
You're kind of right.
They're not the norm biologically. They've always existed, sure, through a confluence of brain chemistry outliers and individual circumstances (childhood abuse?). Most women, as you know, want to continue the normal biological rhythm of humanity.
But these kids are bombarded from an early age with "sex positivity" and all the malignant notions that come from that. Sex immediately loses its value and gets warped. Young girls get hooked up to immediate and constant validation via social media, and that turns into a slutty lifestyle and a lack of understanding of what sex and love is supposed to be.
It's a really deep topic that I could go on and on about, but I won't do that here.
I'm sure the sex is fine, It's that it's like a bad movie with great effects. It looks appealing, and you might enjoy a moment or two, but you don't really care about the people involved, so it doesn't really satisfy you.
I know I know, " muh capeshit," but it's the best example I can think of. Compare the first Avengers movie to the Tom cruise Mummy Abomination.
The characters in the avengers have already been set up, so you're already invested in them to some degree or another, and the action scenes are reasonably well paced, and the slow points take the time they need without dragging things out. Far from perfect, but entertaining and you enjoy watching it. This is essentially what a good relationship is like. You actually care about the other person, so you're trying to please them as well as yourself. The emotional fulfillment is better than the sex.
With the Mummy movie, the effects are pretty good, the sets are impressive, but the action is stale, the characters are barely set up when they're actually set up, and by the end of it, you're disappointed when the main character doesn't die at the end, and not just because he's played by Tom cruise. This is your one night stand, an excuse to cut to the exciting stuff with no real appreciation or caring for anyone but yourself and what you can get out of it.
Reality is a motherfucker, and it often comes at you at the speed of light.
I have had many similar experiences, people just assume I'm western and therefore don't speak Mandarin, so they'll say that right in front of me.
No. It’s weak men not controlling the women. Letting women vote LOL it’s unbelievable how weak men are today. Pathetic. Letting tall children with tits run your society and politics.
I dated a woman who had a few younger sisters and younger cousins, I was in the inner circle too. God it is insane. Like a new guy every weekend from the time they are 18 in college until they start seriously dating someone to marry at 27±, likely even earlier than college too. I knew a girl whos older cousin used to take her clubbing at age 14, she was "stacked" enough that she passed for 18. They short term date some guy because their friends like him. Get a few STDs, thankfully curable or you lie by omission. The hubby that she dates for 1 year then marries doesnt know about her past, or maybe he doesnt want to know, or accepts it.
Im leaning towards "accepting it" because I have heard from a few coworkers who were getting off early from work were told to tell their wives they are coming home early, because they dont want "any surprises" when they get home.
The stories, oh god the stories.... lost condom that was found 2 days later, "I tore his foreskin", "i bought this stranger a drink so he gave me free coke", "laughed out of bed for having a small dick", the sorority challenges of banging multiple guys, the "rugburn challenge" (who can get the biggest rugburn on her back), the sorority event gift box that includes a set of fuzzy handcuffs, the passing the hot guy around to the entire sorority, the "entire sports team" challenge..... its just ..... who wants a woman like that for more than a good time. That is all those women will ever be good for. Its so normal to them because all of their friends participate in the same behavior so they see no problem with it. These women get married to normal good guys. Its just a giant facade.
Ive been so disgusted I havent dated in 5 years, despite being what these desperate late 20s early 30s women want: tall, in shape, blonde, green eyed, wealthy. I had one a friend of a friend that apparently i was unknowingly getting too close to offered to pay for an airplane ticket to fly me out to her on her vacation. She was in the military, was in a sorority in college, works in a male dominated field, was previously married... all the red flags. Hell no! no no no!
Can we please, as a culture, admit that women in the military are basically comfort women? They suck at their job and they get passed around very quickly.
27-30 is the point where the Dick stackers realize they can’t compete with the 18-24 Dick stackers and rope in a naive beta cuckold with money to divorce-rape. Never marry one.
Here's an example of that, from a hambeast no less.
Disgusting animals lmao
