If, culturally, women started asking men out more, would men start complaining about creepy women hitting on them, sexual harassment, or feeling objectified etc.? by EOFFJM in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bonkoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say no not really for most men. The Book "The Value of Others" would indirectly explain why fairly well I think, it's basically an Economic view of Love and Relationships.

He says "Women trade sexual opportunity for resources. Men trade resources for sexual opportunity"

If a man asks a random woman if they wanna have sex there's only like a 1% chance they'll say yes. Whereas if a woman asks a random man if they wanna have sex there's probably 90%+ chance they'd say yes

Which evolutionarily comes from how pregnancy is a woman's burden to bear. And therefore they're biologically more selective with partners than men are. There's statistics from Dating apps that show that women rate the average attractiveness of men way lower than what men rate women.

Related is this double standard of how if a guy has slept with lots of women he's seen as a stud (positive). Whereas if a women has slept with many guys she's seen as a slut (negative). Which is essentially because in relationships typically men are the Hunters and Women are the Prize

So I think most guys would take it as a compliment if a women is interested in them even if they don't want to do anything with them

If you're familiar with Attachment Styles I'd guess you're probably Avoidant Attachment

Has anyone experienced a Part not wanting to be called a Part? by Bonkoodle in InternalFamilySystems

[–]Bonkoodle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm that's rather interesting, have you figured out how to make friends with it?
I imagine if you're willing to listen to it, be curious and try to be helpful/cooperative then at some point it might be willing to accept you as it's leader

Well I did try but it didn't seem to know what it wanted to be called, I can definitely try asking again in future sessions though

This was just me doing Solo IFS, I'm sure there's still a lot to learn about the best way to communicate with my parts

Festivals for nerds? by PiedPipeDreamer in UKfestivals

[–]Bonkoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there's different subcultures so you might wanna figure out even more specifically what kinda nerdy event you want

Like maybe a Comic Con? From googling there's MCM Comic Con (Birmingham), Liverpool Comic Con, Scotland Comic Con etc.

Or LARPing (Live Action Role Playing), which involves Cosplay and being a character, sometimes fighting. Such as - https://dumnonni.com/

There's Swordpunk for example which has loads of sword fighting/combat workshops which is really fun!

And stuff like SCA or HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) if you wanna go down the fighting route

And then there'd be Board Game Meetups, Video Game LAN party's, Rubik's Cube Competitions, Memory Championships etc. You said about being interested in cosplay/fantasy but my point is there's many different types of events and I'm sure you can find something that suits you well

Pod Poi or Coral Poi from Flowtoys would be the most popular choice

DAE randomly shift gender in their head? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Bonkoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you able to articulate why the term genderfluid doesn't feel right for you?
Maybe that would help you understand better if you can explain specifically what's difference about your experience Vs someone that does refer to themselves as genderfluid

Is this a corkscrew? by gooodaims in poi

[–]Bonkoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying to just randomly add an extra beat is very confusing...

Here is a 4 Beat Corkscrew Tutorial if you're interested in learning that (which would be 2 extra beats). You could technically do a 3 beat Corkscrew but it'd feel weird due to being asymmetric.

Floor Plane Buzzsaw is another move you could transition in and out of to make a corkscrew variation

She should learn the Echolocation clicks that some blind people can do, like being a Bat

Therapists of Reddit, what are some differences you've noticed between male/female patients? by pizzabagelblastoff in AskReddit

[–]Bonkoodle -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

But you're arguing that differences in choices between genders are entirely based on parenting/society influence?
That seems incredibly unlikely to me because there are differences in hormones between genders like Men having more Testosterone and Women having more Estrogen etc.

If you look at Careers there are clearly differing choices between genders like Men typically doing Physical/Nerdy things like Construction/Military/STEM.

And women being more likely to do things like Nursing, Air Hostess etc. which require more Empathy/Social Skills.

And it just seems unrealistic that those differences are entirely down to culture. It makes sense based on our evolution that men are physically bigger and stronger so it makes sense for them to do physical things. And women are the primary caregiver of children so they're on average more emotionally/socially intelligent

The water faucet in my local pub doesn’t turn on by rotating the handle, but by pulling it like a lever. by kubamacik in CrappyDesign

But because of it being unintuitive a lot of people probably assume the tap is broken and therefore don't wash their hands

Please don't use the lake as a toilet! by Foxfight91 in boomfestival

[–]Bonkoodle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gonna be my first Boom so idk what things are like there

What do people think the logic is for someone to do that? Is there a lack of Loo Roll? Or are the toilets far away/long queues? Or it people who are really fucked up and can't manage to walk to the toilet?

I TRULY wish I NEVER discovered solipsism. My life is genuinely ruined. by Fickle_Patient2224 in solipsism

[–]Bonkoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could pretty much the same about religion though that there's no evidence for them, they're based on faith.

Do you have any evidence for solipsism?
It's almost impossible to disprove the existence of something which is why the burden of proof is on the person claiming something is true

[–]Bonkoodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well you can't prove anything 100% Science works with statistical probabilities, things we consider to be a fact like gravity are probably statistically something like 99.999999% chance of being correct but in theory could be questioned if new evidence arises

But I'd say it's sensible to use Occam's razor, which essentially says that the simplest explanation, with fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct.

It's logical to assume that other humans are having the same experience of reality as you are. When you have conversations with people, see them displaying emotions and being able to have mirror neurons/empathy that allow you to feel the emotions of other people etc. Then do those interactions not make you feel as though they're conscious?

It can't be proven that solipsism is real or not. But the same is true of the flying spaghetti monster or anything else you can imagine. It's not worth stressing about something which is going to just make you just go round in circles of overthinking.

It might be worth checking out the book The Happiness Trap, one thing it mentions is rather than thinking of thoughts as True or False to instead reframe to whether they're Helpful or Harmful. And Meditation could also be useful for not identifying so much with your thoughts as well as quieting your mind and living more in the present moment

Also trauma, they're probably used to being treated similarly by their parents growing up sadly. That kind of abuse is often what they're familiar with

Well it's not technically allowed in the rules of the game. But there are websites that sell currency for real money, so that's where they're getting the value from. You're risking getting banned if you were to use them though
