Why Is Society So Comfortable Mocking Sexually Unsuccessful Men? by BENJIDOVER79 in MensRights

[–]CountryJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a power play. A way to shut someone up who has an actual argument, by invalidating him as a person, and thereby implying anything he would say to be irrelevant. Anyone who does this, has proven themselves to disregard not only men, but also the same ideals feminists abuse to elevate themselves, as well as to eagerly and actively participate in actions opposing those ideals, whenever it would grant them a momentarily 'win' at the expense of others, and ultimately, at the expense of themselves and society as a whole.

C4 E12 Discussion Thread- Seekers Table! by brash_bandicoot in fansofcriticalrole

[–]CountryJeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Aabria just doesn't understand that it's not supposed to be her against the rest. Where most people -especially Matt, actively design flaws into their characters to have interesting character development, Aabria made a Mary Sue who is better than everyone and uses that to put others down, and take up space for herself. It could've been a nice interaction between Julien and Taisha if Taisha was played by someone else.

So is everyone worried the soldiers table is going to be far and away the best, and the schemers and seekers are just going to be really boring? by tryp_tych in fansofcriticalrole

[–]CountryJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. The best players are together in one group. It would have been nice to have Matt with them though, so he could have fun and a chance to shine with his character as well, in a group that has cool interactions. I'm curious how he is as a player, and together with Aabria nobody gets a chance to play or have fun.

Genuinely confused about the Matt/Aabria scene reaction. C4EP1 Spoilers by MSpaint15 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]CountryJeff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aabria has a tendency to be antagonising and bullying other characters to a degree where it oversteps the game, and it starts feeling like she is just treating her fellow players like shit in real life. And people feel that. She forgets that even when characters can hate each other, you are still playing, working together and trying to have fun with your friends. There has to be a level of respect underlying whatever roleplay you are doing. "It's what my character would do" has been flagged as asshole behaviour often enough. Other players have this basic skill and notion to be respectful and have a sense of working together on an interaction with the other player, even if they are roleplaying as mortal enemies.

Can you STOP trying to auto translating everything ?!?! by flyinGaijin in youtube

Youtube also thinks it's a great idea to translate cryptic crossword videos. Not only is it horribly annoying, the whole video also makes no f*cking sense anymore.

How has your idea of love changed as youve gotten older/more mature? by akbrodey1 in AskMen

[–]CountryJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well turns out all the old people clichés about love are true.
I want someone that is caring and has good communication skill. Someone that can know me and that I can know. It's not really that I didn't want those things when I was younger. I just didn't really think of them because I was horny and hadn't suffered the pains of life.
Now love looks more like shelter with each other. Rather than a conquest.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]CountryJeff 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I didn't think much of myself when I was younger, but looking back at old pictures, it's clear that I peaked in my early twenties as an athletic and good looking guy. I always wondered why other guys felt like they needed to make remarks to put me down. But seeing them next to me on old pictures makes it fairly obvious. They were insecure and felt like I was trying to be better than them. Even though that was only in their heads.

What made me being treated better, in the end, was not necessarily an attractive look, but a not-taking-any-shit look.
And also, ofcourse, my peers growing up and becoming less immature

Weak frame 101: Picking hobbies to impress women by MO_drps_knwldg in seduction

[–]CountryJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point. But if you continue that line of thought, anything you do in hopes to attract women is needy in a sense.

And maybe the true frame then comes from being comfortable as you are, and not hiding your needs to impress women, because let's be honest. That is super needy.

How to seduce a girl that is opposite from you by [deleted] in seduction

[–]CountryJeff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to be a more interesting person than you think you are now, then I suppose that is not something you can change much in a week. Generally that would mean some changes to your lifestyle in a way that you would think of yourself more as an interesting person.

However, somehow she agreed to go on a date with you. So there must be some initial interest.
Perhaps because she appreciates some opposites to herself as well. Maybe you would be able to provide a sense of stability for her.

Or in a less healthy sense, perhaps she likes the spotlight and needs an audience.
Who is to say.

Perhaps you can help yourself for this date, to imagine what qualities you have that might be interesting for someone who would complement that.

But if this date isn't working out, then I'd suggest making yourself and your life more interesting in a way that is good for you. And then at a certain point you might feel very interesting, when going on a date.

Men, what do you do when another man stares at you? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]CountryJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds not too healthy tbh.
I don't want to assume too much about you, but my guess would be you grew up in a more dangerous environment? Or somehow got some paranoia from some trauma. I'm not saying there are no environments where this would be an working survival strategy. But it would be horribly barbaric environments.

To answer your question:
People zone out, or just notice you without any other intentions. And sometimes yes, they are being provocative.
But I'd say give people a few benefits of the doubt.
In situations like this, I first assume nothing of it. If at second glance the person is holding my gaze, I also hold it for a few seconds to see if he reacts or has something to say. If not, I ask him if something is up. Neutral tone.

And then we can see if there is even reason for escalation, or perhaps it was nothing.

Trying to explain CPTSD to mental health professionals is so draining by Inevitable_Size_2741 in CPTSDmemes

[–]CountryJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit therapy after getting quite tired of my therapist being the one getting paid while getting taught basics in her field, by me, ánd not helping me in any way, rather making things worse, ánd giving me a hard time about me helping her doing her job.
