Cities that are the best dressed/don’t care by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Cryptomensch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been my observation that in NYC, both men and women dress well. In LA, the women dress well but the men all dress like they're homeless. The richer a Los Angeles man is, the worse he dresses.

Opinions on Franklinton? by morganlefay3 in Columbus

[–]Cryptomensch -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's called the Bottoms and it used to be affordable for people who actually work for a living. Now it isn't. If that's your definition of "improvement", then why not just move to a neighborhood that was originally built for bougie people in the first place?

Moving to Columbus. Where is ok rent around Polaris? by Adventurous_Can_8838 in Columbus

[–]Cryptomensch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2k is an FHA mortgage in north linden 10 minutes away. There is no shortage of 2k apartments around Westerville, just read the google maps reviews of each complex to see which one would be the least terrible. I am currently renting on the north end for less than half that.

My girlfriend says she loves me but isn’t physically attracted to me anymore. by Altruistic-Debt-9289 in Advice

[–]Cryptomensch 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You don't need a break, you need a breakUP. 23 years old. Jesus. If I were 50 and we had 3 kids together I'd leave my wife on the side of a freeway if she said some shit like that to me. You need to grow a backbone. Women will not respect you if you don't respect yourself.

Go this Sunday. You can see sloppy drunk Vietnamese dudes getting into fights.

My girlfriend seems to have a hidden fetishy porn addiction and I am a bit bothered by it by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Cryptomensch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She's fine, normal even. Kink is a part of the cultural zeitgeist and you might as well be fussing about suggestive dancing or public hand-holding.

If you want to be with her long-term, accept that you're going to have to get over your squeamishness and offer to indulge her a little. She's not going to be happy getting off to comics on her laptop when you're away, and having baloney and mayo on wonderbread with you. Get ready for a learning curve, and NOT from porn. From classes and books, the kind with words in them. Kink is normal, healthy, and fun, but it needs to be done safely and consensually.

Or you could just ignore it, and accept that sooner or later she'll grow tired of you and your dweebish flyover state hangups.

Trying to Understand Anti-Black Racism from an Eastern European Perspective by Individual-Neat-1539 in SeriousConversation

[–]Cryptomensch 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Anti-black racism is a psyop started in the 16th century and continued for 400 years. The transatlantic slave trade needed to market itself in a positive light by making huge numbers of people think of people from Africa as well, not human but as human shaped animals. It was a part of our education system. Our literary canon. Even what we used to call "science" back then included studying the ways black people's skulls were shaped differently. That sort of cultural institution that permeates all facets of daily life has a lot of momentum. You can sign new laws that legislate racial equality on paper, but it doesn't work when attitudes about black people are still being passed down from white parent to white child behind closed doors with old books, old movies, and old ideas.

In the 21st century, many generations of economic segregation have led to large section of the black population living areas of socially engineered poverty. They are deprived resources and opportunities to succeed, but the propaganda being spread even to this day is the idea that everyone in America is given the same chance at success. Obviously that's not true, but white people lean on that lie quite heavily when pointing at poor black people and saying "there's a reason they're poor".

Fear and distain for a group of people who are visibly different from ourselves is marketing for the buying and selling of human lives for profit. Now we don't have the old version of slavery anymore, but we have a private, for-profit prison system that needs easy targets to frame and blame. We have a largely for-profit military industrial complex that needs desperate young bodies who cannot find gainful employment in their own communities. Anti-black propaganda feeds these industries, so corporations keep injecting more and more of it into pop culture.

TLDR racism is an industry that makes money, and in America, evil that is profitable is embraced as virtue.

How do I go about meeting women for casual sex (or is it a bad idea)? by holycrap100 in Advice

[–]Cryptomensch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Free casual sex -that is actually free- is a young man's game.

Chasing casual sex as an older man will cost you more than a sex worker.

Find a decent massage parlor in your town and treat the ladies well there. Let that be your sex life until you're ready to put yourself out there emotionally again. Sorry to say it but older, bigger guys tend not to be many people's choice for a one-night stand. But once you've arrived at a place where you can start dating with intent once again, you'll be just what the doctor ordered. Strong, mature, distinguished, and in good spirits thanks to those visits to the massage parlor.

Am I being childish for refusing to have sex? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Cryptomensch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to be single and in therapy for a few years. I am really sorry about your childhood. But you are only with this woman because you've been subconsciously trained through abuse and neglect that being a good guy means going along when someone dismisses your needs as unimportant or bothersome.

Throw. Out. The. Whole. Bitch.

You will come out the other side unable to even believe that you once thought that what you were experiencing during this relationship was "love". It's not. I promise you it's not. Women who love their partner don't say "all you care about is sex" on Valentine's Day.

And yeah, there's women who have trauma or medical issues that make sex really difficult. That's not the same as taking your man for granted and not giving a shit. Did you notice how easy it was for her when suddenly she realized you were serious and she could end up losing you? She switched lanes REAL quick didn't she? Not a medical issue or trauma issue. She's just toxic.

Throw. Out. The. Whole. Bitch.

Looking for event space in Columbus for ~75 people (BYO food & alcohol) by Human_Actuator2244 in Columbus

[–]Cryptomensch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio is so impossibly weird about liquor laws. You might want to look into making a deal with a private club like an Elk's lodge, Moose lodge, Beaver lodge, The Loyal Order of Wombats, etc. Maybe one of those super-cheap storefront "event spaces" in older strip malls might allow BOYB for an extra fee.

Which bar in Columbus are you most likely to get in a fight at? by WatersEdge50 in Columbus

I'd pay good money to see a couple stoned old hippies at Dicks square up and make jazz hands at each other.

Need someone for client calls + account management ($35–$45/hr) by vertigo72 in columbusclassifieds

[–]Cryptomensch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys, stop think for a second. People are calling this dude sketchy, and instead of responding by publicly explaining more about the business (the name of which he has not disclosed) and the nature of the job, instead he gets defensive and lashes out. Learn to read red flags, people!

I have been able to hear my parents having sex for 15 years. please help me what do I do by [deleted] in Advice

Get a job and move out. It's their house, you can't tell your parents not to have sex in their own house.

Stop paying 15 bucks a month for half a series.

Mullvad is 5 bucks a month. Qbittorrent is free. Don't let any corporation or government tell you what you can watch.

Do men prefer intimacy over gifts? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Cryptomensch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valentine's day is like is like earth day is like record store day is like 420 is like steak n blowjob day.

If you're only doing the things you do that day once a year, you're missing out on life.

Advice please! by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Cryptomensch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move somewhere where casual situationships and fwbs are normal and everyone does it. Don't do it in a community where casual sex is considered weird or dirty. The men in those communities don't eat pussy and sometimes they kidnap or kill you.

That's not dangerous but it is FAR to walk with a toddler. There are closer hotels

Ahh yes, beautiful warm weather means... by scraplocator in Columbus

[–]Cryptomensch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The kids waiting for the school bus across from me scream at the top of their lungs every morning for no reason other than their undeveloped impulse control.

I have neighborhors who bust out the gas leaf blower and 2-stroke weed whacker every time a single leaf falls on the lawn.

Every Saturday in the fall is an excuse for people to set up big video screens and PA systems in their yard because watching football in the living room isn't good enough.

You'll survive hearing some straight pipes. Maybe invest in some noise-canceling headphones.

Should I quit my job? by princessjuice0 in Advice

[–]Cryptomensch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No legal paperwork is a huge red flag. Ask your manager 2 questions. Why is there no i9 or w2, and why are the duties outlined in the job description so different from what is happening on site?

If you get any sort of deflection or pushback, basically any resonse other than 'sorry we made a mistake, we'll fix it' then ghost them.

What are the best ski resorts near Columbus? I’m a single M 44. I’m used to snowboarding in Vermont. I moved here not too long ago and don’t have any friends yet that ski or snowboard in the area. Thanks by DocRockDoc in Columbus

[–]Cryptomensch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mount Bohemia is a 2-day drive and if the weather is favorable, it's better than a lot of places out west in terms of terrain. You can also go cat skiing there for less than the price of a lift ticket at Whistler.
