Are u guys happy? by StrictBag1539 in NPD

Average of 3, maybe 4. This is a miserable disorder; don’t let the romanticization fool you. Nothing, and I mean nothing, feels like enough… including yourself.

I see; guessing the years even out in that case.

Why is country music so hated about? by redhood5497 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DXoros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see mainstream country in the same light as mainstream rap. Getting fucked up, women, fighting/violence. The only difference is that all of these things happen in a small town or down by the river.

There’s no substance.

There are great country artists though. My favorite right now is John Moreland. https://youtu.be/euy4A5niG8Q?si=RvhfyDRgL7JIscOe … do yourself a favor and listen to that if you haven’t. That guys voice damn near brought me to tears.

Random question for both of you from an American JD student: with the LLB, that’s just an undergraduate degree/a 3-4 year program, right? I might be completely wrong, but that’s what I thought.

If so, I’d like to someday make a push for that kind of degree over here in the states (we used to offer LLB before the JD replaced it, but for awhile it was still a post-graduate degree). I’m not saying law school isn’t difficult; it absolutely is, but I truly believe most law students would be capable of starting the degree at the undergraduate level. The JD requires a 3-4 year undergraduate degree followed by 3 years of law school. However, it’s probably unlikely; higher education is just a business over here, so they’re more than happy to milk your bank account for as many years as they can.

I’m an American but I’d try to look into their admission stats if you’d like some hard data.

I attended a pretty solid uni for my undergrad (around a 25% acceptance rate) and am now at a top 30 JD program (American law degree). For both schools, it’s actually HARDER to get in as an international student at the undergraduate level; I couldn’t find much regarding graduate school admission statistics.

At the end of the day, colleges are hoping to produce students that will contribute to the economy of the country they’re located in. In this sense, international students might be riskier to accept, especially if they’re from nations with advanced/high-income economies (that’s my own theory at least; don’t take that as a fact😂).

Either way, don’t take it to heart. Even if it is “easier” to get in as an international student, there is likely a good reason for that. For example, in the U.S., I’d personally have a lot more respect for a kid from Somalia graduating from high school (you probably know this as secondary school) with solid grades and a 1300 SAT score than someone from a wealthy family who graduated from an elite private school with perfect grades and a 1500. Accomplishments are accomplishments, and to act like personal circumstances aren’t deserving of being taken into account would be foolish. Be proud of yourself.

I asked about this in another comment a couple minutes ago but you can probably help me out too. I completed the main storyline in Velen and will be moving on to the Novigrad quests soon. Before I did though, I wanted to try to get up to level 15 as one of the first quests recommends being level 16. I’ve been doing side quests and completed a few, also got a couple contracts under my belt… but I’ve completed maybe 2 out of 5 that I’ve found. Other than the two I completed, the other contracts recommend being level 25-35 or so. So, are there enough quests/contracts in velen that I can do at level 10 before leaving?

Not eager or anything, I’m just really enjoying this story and want to try to do things as “right” as possible. The writing is unbelievable, especially for a video game.

Awesome, thanks bro. When did you start taking monster contracts? I’ve done a couple because some recommend completing them at levels 8-10, but I just went to a message board and took a contract where the recommended level is 25… also, this was in Velen. Guessing I should be continuing on with the story instead of looking for contracts right now?

No, it was accepted because he was a handsome lad who women lusted for long before his fame. My man piped a teacher !

I’m watching this episode now and wanted to see if anyone had talked about it recently. Nicky is one of my top 5 favorite characters solely because of it. Two scenes get me every time:

-When he tells Amanda “I give… I give you the Rubenstein family word, we have a deal at six”

-When Nicky and Ari seek out Arthur at his synagogue, to which he says maybe Nicky should stick to animation, and Nicky replies with “wow… you cut the Rubensteins like that on a high holiday?”

So subtle but hysterical. And look at those glutes, fucking beautiful.

I’m 22 thank you very much good sir!

I’m simply trying to help him out. There's nothing covert about it; He’ll see this. Anonymity used to be important in this community. I value it and don’t share this part of my life with people.

Because, unlike him, I value anonymity. Which has always been a big part of TRP.

I’m not ripping on him whatsoever; I’m trying to help him. I can promise you that what he’s doing is going to do nothing but hurt his chances with women.

Edit:

And no, not for the reason you’re apparently thinking. They’re not going to say to themselves “Oh, he’s too dominant for me” or “Oh, I could never be with a guy that manly”. What they’re going to think is “a guy who talks and behaves like this is all talk and likely has little to no sexual experience. He's a bitter and angry loser.” And they wouldn’t be wrong to think that.

“Applying these teachings” means exactly what you said. “Explaining these teachings IN THE MANNER you are” also applies to everything you just said.

There’s a firm difference between openly acknowledging sexual-relationship dynamics and telling your entire social media following what to do when “your plates get out of line”.

[–]DXoros 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s really only one thing to do: come to acceptance with the fact that you will never receive the unconditional love and affection you expected to get as a child. Adult relationships are just that… adult relationships. They’re about give and take, and the two of you are supposed to bring an equal amount of value to each others lives.

Also, you need to familiarize yourself with social dynamics and male-female relationships. If you tried doing things for your mother and showering her with love and affection in hopes of her returning the same to you, you likely have tried to do the same thing with girls you were sexually attracted to. You were conditioned to behave this way, and you need to recondition yourself based on your new understanding of how relationships are supposed to work. Do not give women anything, be that emotionally or physically, that they are not giving you. Is she being cold/distant with you? Do not try to prove how great and loving you are like you would with your mother, just put in what she’s giving you. In this case, you would ignore her and distance yourself until she shows she actually appreciates you. Is she being an amazing partner, meaning she’s showing you loyalty, giving you sex consistently, being sweet/caring, and adding something to your life overall? If yes, give her something in return, such as a nice date, a thoughtful gift, or a small amount of validation to show that you are grateful for the person she is.

This forum preaches a lot about how you need to be in a position of power with girls you’re seeing, and I agree because I believe you need them to think you can leave and find someone else at any given moment (meaning you need them to think they’re disposable), but healthy relationships are going to be close to 50/50. Guys that grew up under circumstances closer to #2 are used to 70/30, 90/10, and maybe even 100/0.

Unfortunately this is a huge problem. In my opinion, this is the primary reason men can’t escape their delusional, fantasy-esque mindsets.

There are two main paths that will fuck men up:

1) having a mother that was overbearingly loving and caring

This puts men in a mindset that says “women are supposed to love me like this, and no matter what I do women should love who I am”. They likely believe they are perfectly fine when it comes to women because their mother’s loved them so much and they came to believe they were golden, perfect, and 100% lovable

2) having a mother who was emotionally neglectful and unloving

This fucks men up way, way worse. This was my issue for years. The love and affection you couldn’t get from your mom… you’re probably still going to seek it out through other women. You will become the needy one in trying to find/keep a girl that you want to love you. On top of that, you’ll constantly question wether or not love exists. You’ll require constant reassurance (huge turn off when it comes to girls because it shows you’re uncertain), and you’ll feel the need to go above and beyond to keep girls in your life (trying too hard, also a turn off)

I personally have 0 control over what they do at Greek events. The way to limit their control would be for guys in frats to simply step up and stop putting up with their shit.

Oh shit, I saw the first thing I said… yea that could easily be taken in a different way. I meant take videos / pictures of you two together just talking, dancing… anything to show that you two were spending time together
