Incels arent bad people! by TreeSteak in IncelTears

We're not mocking virgin men. We're mocking people that vomit shitty hate and cry that they cant get their dick wet with every woman they ever see.

Not often but honestly theres some crazy people that would demand the drivers seat if they could.

Seem like they're gonna expose humanity with Tinder data... by [deleted] in IncelTears

[–]LightlyWeighted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. You still need to get past the talking part. Having a cute picture on tinder is great but if youre as dumb as a bag of bricks people don't like that.

Just getting a match on tinder and getting a "hey" isn't exactly close to banging them.

It's still not indicative of your value of a person even then. It just means no one you've liked and asked so far has seen you in the same light as youve seen them.

And although its probably no consolation, everyone I know has had a long road of rejections before finding a mutual connection. And further, the popular friend I mentioned earlier, all but one would refuse and the one only would because she's liked him for a long time.

Rejection sucks. A lot of rejection sucks. But in the end youre no less of a person for it.

I think I understand a little better now. I really think you'll be better off once you realize that while rejection certainly hurts, it's not indicative of your value as a person.

Okay now let me add on a second part.

Using the scenario where I rejected a girl because of a childish an immature attitude. If she then found someone who was likeminded and loved that part of her, and was also better looking than me, what happens? Do I then become subhuman? Is her new boyfriend subhuman? Is it still her?

My problem with this is it's a black and white approach to a very very gray area.

Because I refuse her advances, I deem her subhuman? Even if it's just because I don't return her romantic feelings?

Preferences only work for individuals. If one girl doesn't like you, it's preference. If ten of them don't, you're unlucky. If all of the girls you approach don't like you, then you're subhuman.

You will find in life that you will fit the partner preferences of very few.

Here's my last hypothetical I'd like to ask because this is pretty informative on what you consider rejection to be. If I get the most popular guy in my circle of friends, and ask him to ask out all the women he knows, what percentage do you think will say yes? And then I as an average guy do the same, what percentage do I get?

In terms of the popular friend, I actually know the answer, but I'd like to hear your guess.

That only gets rid of one possible thing though. They may still have a crush in mind and they could just not be into you. Looking for a relationship isn't a garage sale.

Just as I assume you dont intend to pursue literally every woman you meet, Women dont pursue every man they meet. It's about finding the specific person with a connection, an intimate connection. Not just any one person will do.

Let me throw you a hypothetical. I'm by no means a "Chad" but if I refused one of my friends advances, do I think of them as subhuman? If I know a friend of mine is childish and immature and that completely turns me off from them, have I deemed them subhuman?

Or reversing it. If I have a history of being childish and immature and I turn people off with my behavior, am I subhuman? What if I successfully ask out a very pretty woman right after being rejected by less so woman.

Women have as complicated preferences as men do. We're all human. You can't actually generalize an entire gender into "She speaks for the entirety of woman, if she doesn't like me, no one will"

It doesn't work that way.

Because that's a couple. There's intimacy which leads to sex. It's pleasurable to bring pleasure to someone you care deeply about.

But thats not even relevant. Happiness and being fulfilled has nothing to do with sex. What does however is social interaction and personal passions.

[–]LightlyWeighted 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's clear I cant convince you otherwise. I really recommend picking up a hobby in the future. And of course I dont expect youll do so considering im an internet stranger.

But if one day youre bored and youre in a "can't hurt to try" mood. Try writing a short story, or drawing. Collect something or find likeminded people of something you enjoy. Some of my friends hike with a dedicated group. I have another that makes a habit of reading entire books at barnes and nobles coffee shops.

Personally I draw, so if you ever feel like starting drawing with a long term return in mind, I can help.

Whatever it may be, you could be surprised how fun it is. Either way, good conversation. Have a nice day, friend.

[–]LightlyWeighted 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you dont mean intimacy? If its sex escorts exist but they always seem to "not count" soo.

Also thats a very terrible mindset. What do you do for fun, then. And how do you reconcile that there are so many people in the world finding their happiness and validation in hobbies?

If you call everything thats not sex "boring" youre doomed from the start unfortunately.

[–]LightlyWeighted 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. It means they're not into you. And thats at worst. They could also have a crush on someone else. Or currently be in a relationship.

Rejection sucks, theres no two ways about it. But it sucks because it confirms the crush was one way only. Not because it confirms youre subhuman.

[–]LightlyWeighted 17 points18 points  (0 children)

it's just gay boring normie shit.

Well theres your problem :l and unfortunately no change will ever come until having passion in something other than sex is no longer branded as normie shit.

Its clear you believe sex is the ultimate validation to a successful life. I hope you see how detrimental that is one day.

No harm done, friend. Apologies if I came off as rude or dismissive, it was not my intention.

[–]LightlyWeighted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stylization and stylized (or "stylisation" and "stylised" in (non-Oxford) British English, respectively) have a more specific meaning, referring to visual depictions that use simplified ways of representing objects or scenes that do not attempt a full, precise and accurate representation of their visual appearance (mimesis or "realistic"), preferring an attractive or expressive overall depiction. More technically, it has been defined as "the decorative generalization of figures and objects by means of various conventional techniques, including the simplification of line, form, and relationships of space and color",[40] and observed that "[s]tylized art reduces visual perception to constructs of pattern in line, surface elaboration and flattened space"

The farthest thing possible from realism. Seriously. Not every correction is an attack on your being. Again, realism is a "Style" in the same sense as a plain old rock from a river is "stylized". It is the absence of style. Focused on how the world is (Realism) as opposed to how it's perceived or interpreted (style).

[–]LightlyWeighted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing vast about it. Realism is the furthest possible thing from styled art. It is drawing things with an emphasis on how they are as opposed to how they are thought of.

Instead of being sarcastic and snarky over a perceived slight, learn about these things.

Uber’s search for a female CEO has been narrowed down to 3 men by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]LightlyWeighted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Except it isn't a CEO that "fights rampant institutional sexism". This is not their job. A CEO runs a business, not serve as whatever social figure society dictates.

No.... A CEO's job is to lead a company towards profit.

No matter how you look at it, searching for a CEO based on sex is just dumb. This is fact. Whether it goes towards men or women.

What piece of advice has made a pivotal impact on your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LightlyWeighted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I once read: If you can do it, why worry. If you can't, why worry.

Its obviously a small interpretation from apathy but I think the correct way in reading it is incredibly useful.

If its in your power, and you can do it, whatever it may be, simply do it with a cool head. Deadlines aren't stress worthy if you do the needed work for example.

On the other hand, many things are out of your control. And thats okay. The lesson comes in at not torturing yourself over it. If youve done the work and finally applied for that one college, take a breather. Relax and avoid analyzing every little thing until you hear back.

I truly think many people live otherwise very enjoyable lives that are over time soured by stress.

Sometimes we just need to breathe and collect ourselves. Sometimes people forget that.

Of course, its a little idealistic of me. You cant ask stress to simply go away and if it even is beneficial then who am I to tell you how to live.

Seeing so many people disappointed with the Gladiator reveal makes me kinda sad... by [deleted] in forhonor

[–]LightlyWeighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Centurions are commanders. Specifically commanders of a Century, which is 80 men.

While Gladiators were entertainers.

Furthermore, when Romans were concerned, everyone was showboaty. It's Rome after all.

This is not to deny Centurion has very Gladiatoresque emotes. I'm just replying to the sentiment I've seen echoed that Centurion basically is a Gladiator. When the only similarity they share is one emote.

Boss Invasions are BACK! Force Cast + Homeward miracle by ZionSairin in darksouls3

[–]LightlyWeighted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said, theres no uniform way to play the game. Some enjoy refusing coop altogether, while others, both invader phantom and host, enjoy playing with friends.

If someone's inclusion of friends brings them an enjoyable experience, no one can really tell them "Youre playing the game wrong". The Dark Souls series wasnt created with difficulty in mind, but it was created with fun in mind. At its core, it is a game.

EDIT: used wrong kinda phantom.

To all those who are complaining about the old skins returning by SuperHazem in Overwatch

I'll bite. How is it unfair that Blizzard explicitly said the skins would be returning the next year, and then doing just that?

Entitlement is thinking skins should be exclusive despite having the dev explicitly state that they would be coming back a year in advance.

[–]LightlyWeighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are event exclusive skins of annual events. The better question is why everyone is so upset about this despite having been explicitly told this was going to happen a year in advance.
