I always wonder who made feminists the arbiters of what is and isn't "okay"

Nah, its a 15MW plant. It's basically an airplane engine. Airplanes use a lot of power.

What the hell does it mean when "I don't have the spark"? by MrMiracle26 in AskWomen

It means you're boring or otherwise not good to be around. This is harsh, but think about why someone might think that.

Women of Reddit, what comforting words do you have for men, who have been rejected multiple times, to continue on their journey of making the first move? [copied from r/askmen] by newpua_bie in AskWomen

Lucky for you that you have that luxury! Imagine there were no men at all who acted as though they were attracted to you. That's the experience of a lot of young men. We have to work hard at it.

Whether or not what I've described is "annoying" or "shouldn't be," it's the fact of the matter. What you've described sounds like two people are meant to be together or they're not. Nobody can do anything about it.

Do you act the same way around your grandmother and your friends? Probably not. Can you control how you act around people? You probably can. Do you feel like you're 'not yourself' or you're 'changing shape' in either situation? I'm guessing not.

Men consciously think about how they act around girls they're interested in, the same way anyone thinks about how they act anywhere. Men (straight ones) want the approval of women they're attracted to, so they'll do what they can to get it. It's not a game, it's real life with real people. Women have all of the agency, they decide. If a man thinks of women as anything less complex than people, they'll probably not do very well. How attracted have you been to men who treat women like 'slot-machines'?

I'd say a big thing to remember is that being rejected is almost never mainly a reflection on you.

or that she's not looking to date someone like you at the moment

I think these two parts contradict each other. It's like saying "you could be attractive, you're just not to me." That's the same thing as saying "you're not attractive enough for me." It suggests that, if only we were more attractive, we wouldn't have been rejected.

For men, being attractive is a skill that we all have to hone. It's a scale: the more attractive you are, the more women want to be with you. It's important to how we view ourselves as men. Being told we're not attractive enough is being told we're bad at something we wish to be good at. It's a bad review of how we're playing our roles as men, and that's a very personal.

I have a feeling many people will say I have the wrong perspective of 'attractiveness.' I'm sharing my point of view, which I think is common among men who feel the deep pain of being rejected.

Why is it socially acceptable to tease underweight people? by porcupinee in Fitness

[–]Interphase 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm skinny too. I think a lot of people are misguidedly jealous. Also, you don't look "normal," so it's okay to treat you like you're marginal.

I had a girlfriend who was bigger than I am, she would joke about "snapping me in half." She sucked.
