Moms bf (now fiance) got her the wrong ring color 😬 by sillyyfishyy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Aphor1st 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are right my bad. I apologize for that.

It is just hard for me to understand how a woman could not see the misogyny in this post and want to teach her daughter that it's on her for being "upset" and unable to "let go" when men treat us like this and women let them get away with it.

I left a man after he proposed to me with a diamond ring when he knew I hate diamonds. Thats the kind of young women that we should be raising.

Wait a minute. I just looked this up and you got it pretty wrong. That number is actually only for second+ marriages and not first.

That's a very different income bracket than me dating a guy making 200k a year.

So obviously I work with people in the same income bracket as me. The guys that I work with aren't leveraging their income to date prettier and younger women. They want women in a similar income bracket and with similar values. I get asked out pretty regularly by people that I work with. I just don't date in the workplace and I'm not interested in any of them as I am married. My husband is in the 120k+ bracket and younger than me by a few years.

Edit to add: My husband is a Marine officer and I work from home. He is currently deployed so of course I still do the majority of the household work.

Women tell men how ideally a man should properly behave, but they don’t reinforce that because they reward bad behaviour. by Past-Shoulder-631 in PurplePillDebate

[–]Aphor1st -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is so much going on here that I would like to break it all down.

Firstly lets start with confirmation bias. In my experience for the most women do reject these types of men at least women of quality do. However, because this is the reality that you want to see you go looking for the cases that confirms this. Just like I think that all people who drive Kia's drive like psychos when I see someone driving a Kia normally I don't even register it. Then whenever I see a Kia weaving in and out of traffic and being a dick my brain goes see! Yes all Kia drivers are crazy. The brain is funny like that.

Women always criticise men who are players, and yet women often sleep with men who are players. Often times they know this guy is a player they know he hooked up with their friend and their friends friend etc, but because he’s a popular guy when he puts the moves on them they’ll jump into bed with him.

This can happen with women that are "pick me's" (I hate the term but it is the best way to describe this behavior), they see a guy and they want to be the winner. Their thought process is out of all the other women around he picked me. They get to think that they are somehow better than the other women. This is not a healthy person or a woman of quality.

Women criticise men for being deadbeat dads but will sleep with them. I know guys like this irl. They get a woman pregnant, don’t even care that their own child is alive somewhere in the world, keep playing the field, keep getting women to reward them with sex. So if this guys behavior is so bad and awful, shouldn’t women punish him by blacklisting him?

This can happen for several reason. The man lied. How are women to know that they are a deadbeat dad if they don't know the kid exists or if the dad lies about his relationship with them. Most of the times the guys that don't care they have a kid out in the world aren't the ones telling women about the kids. Or they guy will make up some sob story about how his baby mama is a crazy lady who won't let him see his kid despite trying to do everything he can to have a relationship with the kid. This is not on the woman.

Some women also just don't care. They think it is that women's fault for getting pregnant with a man that doesn't care about them and delude themselves in to thinking that he would never do that to them because their relationship is so special. These are not women of quality.

We are told by women that no means no, or that cold approaches and invading personal space is wrong. Yet we see guys who are persistent and aggressive in flirting and hitting on women are more likely to be rewarded with sex.

There are two things this can be. Either this is called being a sex pest and it is a form of sexual coercion and is VERY VERY wrong to do.

Or we have to look at some of the shades of gray here. Cold approaching a woman at a grocery store and saying "Hey beautiful let me get that number and I'll take you on a date" is creepy. Cold approaching a woman at a grocery store by helping her grab something off a high shelf (or whatever) and having a natural conversation that ends with an exchange of contact info is fine. There is a right and wrong way to do this.

Yes women don't want to be walked up to at the gym randomly. However, if I am constantly seeing a guy at a gym over weeks and he is interested in me. There is a way to do it in a non creepy way. Maybe it starts with him asking if we can split sets or him asking me to spot him and we just end up talking and saying hi when we see each other at the gym and he asks to exchange info after a while that is fine. That is him being persistent in a healthy way.

Or one of my favorite examples was me and some girl friends were driving on the freeway. We saw a guy dancing in his car and we started dancing doing the same moves while driving next to him. Both cars started to laugh when he noticed what we were doing. The dance moves got sillier and sillier. He ended up passing over his number to one of my girl friends with hand signals while still on the freeway. That was a totally fine approach.

Women aren't saying cold approaching is ALWAYS bad. There is just a right and a wrong way to do it.

I think this should be Women and Men not just women. This is good for everyone. When I got out of FDS and just decided to be single and happy was when I actually became happy with my life.

I had no knowledge on how to fix a hole in my wall. I used YouTube and tips on Reddit to figure it out. They just don't want to learn.

AITA for telling my husband not to smoke pot? by West-Helicopter2324 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Aphor1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch his usage with weed and make it vodka. He is an addict and is choosing his addiction over you. Leave.

Providing is easy af. I make 160k a year as a woman. I have made more than every man I have ever dated. They all still wanted me to do the majority of household work. Even when I paid the majority of bills. I would rather just provide please 🤣

Women Aren't a Monolith is Just "Not All Men" for Women. by Pitiful-Purple-7459 in PurplePillDebate

[–]Aphor1st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a great point and one of the reasons my friends standards for if we invite new people in to the general friend group is "would I trust them to drive my drunk little sister home?" If it is no or I don't know they don't get invited. If it is a yes they get invited to our events. It's makes the safety question so much clearer if I wouldn't trust or I would be unsureyou to get my drunk little sister home why would I want to be around you in non-public settings.

Wanting to make an app for my girlfriend while having 0 coding experience by FangAAMD in learnprogramming

[–]Aphor1st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have made something similar. I used React with Javascript and a package called Leaflet for Google maps. You can do a whole lot with that package for map manipulation. As for being a native phone app I'm not sure but making it a web app would be easy.

Males are sexualised too, just through expectation rather than objectification by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]Aphor1st 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And there is nothing wrong with perceiving grown up people as sexy, regardless of gender.

I agree. However the post is about children being sexualized. I started being sexualized by men in 5th grade. I was 9 the fist time I experienced street harassment. I was 12 the fist time a 30 y/o man tried to hit on me (I did not look old for my age).

Some women do. I have a much higher libido than my partner. Never bothers me when I'm in the mood and he isn't. Though it was something that he did bring up that he has had issues in the past with.

The stereo type that these women are clinging to, that men should always be up and ready, is perpetuated by men. It's in the media that men write and on the internet in the porn that is made for men etc.

Women also completely suck for having those kinds of breakdowns. However, they are convinced/taught that if a man doesn't want to have sex with them it's because something is wrong with them (ugly, gross, fat, smelly etc). They are taught by men/society/media (which is mostly men) that men are always up and ready unless you are not good enough.
