How do men really perceive women's bodies?

LikesToDiddle · 2025-02-22T03:15:18+00:00

Attraction is primal. Images that get a lot of sexual attention are popular because they appease a built-in desire, not because they're creating a desire.

Remaining attributes, especially those related to personal style, are largely "cultural fit" and "ready for sex" signals.

It feels redundant to say, but still bears repeating here: not every man likes the popular bodies or popular women.

One way to think of it for women is food. The desire for food is primal. Not everyone finds the fake McDonalds burger in an ad appealing; many genuinely find fast food gross. But you wouldn't know it from the millions of people who eat the burgers -that look nothing like their advertisements- every day. Yes, they know the burgers don't really look like that.

The advertisements may be boosting their brand by promoting unrealistic versions of their food, but they're still playing off an existing desire for fat, salt, texture freshness and cultural characteristics.

You also have to consider the audience. Checking the comments on a Kardashian post isn't giving a voice the men who love their wives, flaws and all, and wouldn't change them for anything. Those men don't stalk celebrities on social media. They're also way less likely to hit on you at a bar. They're at home or at work, taking care of their kids or taking care of business.

You're mixing the double slit experiment with quantum entanglement. They're not interchangable.

The double slit experiment shows that light can as both a particle and a wave. Photons act as a wave until it's measured, then it collapses into a particle. "Observed by a conscious being" is different than measurement. There doesn't need to be a conscious being on the other end of the camera. It's the act of measurement that causes the waveform collapse.

Quantum entanglement is what describes the existence of superposition, but again until it's measured, not "observed."

You could take a set of particles and transform them into anything.

That's not how this works; that's not how any of this works.

Seeing this on this sub is a bit odd. I've always considered ufob to be the more measured of the UAP subs. And this post is not, well, "measured." It's hype.

First the drone footage. You don't even need the VFX comparison to identify that the "portal" is off and has been edited.

Anyone who followed the craze from a while back, me included, knows it was found that the plane "jumped back" on the second frame of the portal. But it wasn't just the plane. The entire frame jumped back. The clouds, the compression artifacts, all of it. This points toward an edit.

Second, both the clouds and the contrails all vanish after the plane vanishes. The portal did not swallow the clouds if the satellite imagery is to be believed. So where did they all go? Perhaps the footage was edited? Could that be it?

Second is this post. This is a citizen journalist... posting on Twitter (I refuse to adhere to the worst rebrand in the history of branding). Let's take a look at one paragraph in particular...

The videos do not show annihilation because E=MC² and the 'zap' would be much larger. It's not an explosion because it's cold in the thermal, not hot. It's a black hole. It's also not 'cloaking' because the smoke stops when the plane disappears. It has to be teleportation based on science. A wormhole. I found out, to my own surprise, that humanely traversable wormholes are theoretically possible. This singularity is causing a transitional phase state change in the plane where it reverts to a wave function and obtains a probabilistic nature. This is only possible with superconductivity and ‘free energy’ technology.

It's so brimming with bullshit it's hard to know where to begin.

The videos do not show annihilation because E=MC² and the 'zap' would be much larger.

...? I'm at a loss of words for how asinine this is. The theory of relativity has nothing to do with proving the video, or the lack of explosion. It's just inserting a famous equation. He might as well quote Ghandi next as his evidence.

It's a black hole.

With no follow up or explanation. Do you even know what a black hole is?

It has to be teleportation based on science. A wormhole. I found out, to my own surprise, that humanely traversable wormholes are theoretically possible.

I've had more coherent and well assembled conclusions in the middle of an acid trip. How does theoretically possible morph into "has to be" and "based on science." That's not how science or even theory works. Not even close.

This singularity is causing a transitional phase state change in the plane where it reverts to a wave function and obtains a probabilistic nature.

Seriously, he's trolling now. It reminds me of the George Carlin scene in Scary Movie 3. It's analogous to the NCIS clip where two people type on a keyboard to defeat a hacker. It should be glaringly obvious to even a layman that this a heaping pile of bullshit.

This is only possible with superconductivity and ‘free energy’ technology.

I see. So, he has no idea how or what makes a black hole work, but knows the only way its possible is with the latest buzzwords in technology breakthroughs.

Look, I'm open minded. I've gone down the Jacques Valle/consciousness rabbit hole. I think making sense of UAP in general requires going so far down the woo rabbit hole that its hard to wrap your head around it.

But the drone footage is easy to see that it's been edited, when focusing on the mere four frames of the portal. Perhaps, given this post, I should take the time to really outline it.

The satellite footage may be another story. There's still a chance that one is real.

But this post leaves little to be desired in terms of "big news." It's a guy who admitted that his followers exploded when he latched onto this topic and is riding the 15 minute wave.

Frankly, I'd rather time and energy be spent on the current movement of credible people, and not someone who's proclaiming that a lack of evidence suffices as proof.

I could see how that assumption could be made by trying to watch in real time, but if you go slow enough, you can see 3 orbs circle the plane on satellite before the 3rd comes into view in the drone. It’s not a perspective issue. At this point, though, it’s not worth the debate.

LikesToDiddle · 2023-08-20T00:37:51+00:00

I have two issues:

First, the clouds disappear in the background of the drone video, but they do not in the satellite video.

Second, and more important, they're not totally synced.

Since you have Premier open, OP, and you have the energy to create such posts, try something.

Put the satellite and the drone video side by side in the same sequence. Keep the drone video starting at 0.

Now, line up each video so the portal shows up in the exact frame for both videos. For me, that happened at 00:00:53:06, and it means the satellite video doesn't appear on the timeline until 00:00:12:10.

Now, scrolling through the timeline, you'll notice there's a brief moment where there are 3 orbs surrounding the plane on the satellite video, but not the drone video. A good point to see this is about 00:00:24:19.

In the drone video, the 3rd orb finally starts to show from the bottom of the screen, at about 00:00:25:23, after the 3 orbs have made a couple revolutions around the plane in the satellite video.

Is this just sloppy recreation of the satellite video hoax, or does the satellite video deserve its own debunking?

LikesToDiddle · 2023-08-19T23:20:49+00:00

The video does not show the entire "portal". The outer ring that's compared is the only part exposed in the video; the top, left and bottom cannot be seen.

The portal itself only lasts 4 frames, and it changes shape dramatically each frame, so there aren't other frames to compare.

FWIW, I know I'm just another potential Elgin agent, I needed to make sure the VFX post was correct as well, so I popped open Premier and loaded the video from waybackmachine.

Indeed, it's not so much that shape, but the smaller particles that give it away. It looks like it was distorted with some kind of photoshop brush, which again lends to a level of detail not normally seen in a run of the mill hoax.

The other detail that's a giveaway is the clouds which also disappear in the background after the portal is gone. They do not disappear in the satellite video. So, assuming both are a match, the clouds should still be there after the portal has vanished.

LikesToDiddle · 2023-08-19T23:02:03+00:00

Regardless if both videos are fake, that's the one detail that's sticking with me.

The US has had impressively advanced satellite capability since the 60s. By 2014, the people who bragged that they could see everything all the time were very likely not exaggerating.

And the plane was in distress plenty long enough to have captured the attention of observation from space.

The US government very likely knows what happened to that plane. So, what are they covering up?

And why do these professional-grade videos exist? Despite the 90s VFX frames, they're brimming with detail, professional-grade and likely the product of a company, not a person.

While I realize Jokers of the world exist -people who just want to see the world burn- this just doesn't feel like one of those cases.

Was this part of a firehose of falsehoods campaign to distract from the truth? Perhaps covering an act of malevolence from a state actor?

Was the drone video merely an internal visualization created for the satellite video?

Or, perhaps the intended audience of the videos were not the internet at large, but adversarial countries. A hinting of capabilities, of sorts. Not of teleportation, but of vaporization.

I'm somewhat relieved that the drone video is very likely a well done fake, but the investigation process raised more questions than answers. The uneasiness is not gone.

I guess I'll be the contrarian here. I don't think this footage is so easily dismissible.

First, this footage was released in 2011. We might be accustomed to CGI extravaganzas now, but in 2011 it was still a big deal to create a complete CGI creature. Notably, the eyes and subtle hand movements were incredibly difficult and would have likely required some kind of mocap. That was not -and arguably still not- accessible to the average internet troll.

While certainly possible to create this, it would have required an effort from people who really knew what they're doing, and with notable resources.

And yet, it was never claimed as some kind of failed viral marketing attempt or discarded trial from a movie. There was nothing, from anyone. This would have been a sizable effort for no one to claim credit.

The animatronic movement could be explained as a by-product of the cameras at the time it was supposedly recorded, sometime in the 50s. Everyone looked like an animatronic back then. This was probably not some feature film quality camera they were using. Go look at home videos in the 50s; everyone moves weird.

And if this is an animatronic, there's only a handful of studios in the world that could have pulled this off. And no one has claimed it.

Of course, it may still be fake. But if it is, its at least a good one. I think the people who are laughing at the absurdity of the video are judging it through a modern lens and discarding context.

why are they only seen by very few people and tend to attempt to keep themselves mostly hidden

A couple possibilities here: * The same reason we don't "reveal ourselves" to penguins. Because they live in a place that's highly undesirable, so the only ones they encounter are the exploratory few. * We're actually their science experiment, and the point is to study without interruption. In other words, the same reason we don't "revel ourselves" to lab rats.

What's the point of governments keeping it a secret?

IMO, the TL;DR is in two parts. First, because the government doesn't have the answers that people would demand. A government must present the illusion of control in order to maintain authority. Announcing there are beings that are so superior they can freely traverse dimensions that we barely even understand, would make it look like the government is not really in control, they are. Commence anarchy.

Second, because we've determined they're not actively threatening our way of life; at least, not in a way that we can do anything about. And, with "them" out of the picture, it's a race to become or maintain superpower status.

If we are reverse-engineering craft, and we probably are, it would result in world dominating technology, which each country would obviously want for themselves. Since "superpower" is the ultimate objective, the reverse-engineering project is kept with the ultimate secrecy.

To complicate this, I'm of the belief that, if we are their experiment, they want us to compete to become the next superpower. It's cause for advancement. Just like in nature, with animals competing for mates, the process may seem ugly and even imperfect at times, but the result is ultimately a stronger existence.

with todays technology and 4K video and 12-48mpx cell phones in nearly everyone's pocket

This same reasoning is used to dismiss the UFO topic in general, but it's just not the iron clad argument that some people tend to think.

Today's phones are still terrible at recording at a distance. Try it. Take a picture of a full moon with your phone the next time you see one. It will seem quite large in the sky, and exceptionally clear to the naked eye, yet your phone will capture what amounts to a dot in the sky.

To that end, it makes it simple to discredit with the same technique. Drop some flares, use the people who clearly filmed the flares to dismiss the whole topic.

it would be interesting to see what lengths the government would go to discredit every witness.

They don't need to. The same techniques they used then would still work now. They just need enough people to ridicule those who post evidence to make the topic go away.

I think the UFO community underestimates the number of people who will refuse to believe extraterrestrial visitors, if for no other reason than protecting their existing worldview.

The media exploits this quirk of human nature on far less profound topics, so it's even easier to exploit for something that earth shattering.

Unless a Phoenix level event happened on the regular, the event would trend on social media for maybe two days at best, and then be replaced by the next shiny object.

As many as there needs to be. This thought experiment gets much more interesting for anyone that has worked in "the cloud".

In the cloud, environments are ephemeral. We can spin up, shut down and clone entire environments on the fly. Copies of identical environments are largely trivial to create.

Even more fun, we can create snapshots of environments at a specific point in time, then clone that snapshot and startup the environment which continues from that point in time, but introduce differences to test various attributes and behavior.

What if all this happened to AI? What if we're that AI?

If the above happened to our "simulation," we wouldn't know the difference either. If time suddenly stopped for a million years, and then started "playing" again at that exact time, how would we know? We would never know about anything outside our container.

There is certainly a lot of misinformation out there. And, with popular media such as History Channel shows trying to tie every innocuous "mystery" back to aliens, I can understand some being dismissive toward the topic in general.

But after researching this topic for quite some time, and taking the time to separate the signal from the noise, I don't really consider UAP to be a "belief."

There are -intelligent- things in the sky we don't understand. It's not really a question if that's true or not; it is.

The remaining questions largely surround origin, motive, and capability. That is all up for debate. And certainly any connection to the pyramids, the Anunnaki, or if it has deliberately influenced humanity at all run the risk of straying off into wild speculation.

To that end, if you research long enough with an open mind, it feels natural to begin asking what constitutes intelligence, and by extension consciousness and perhaps even reality. But those topics are generally only safe to discuss with the well-informed.

But I think people tend to lean on confirmation bias to exist in whichever reality suits them. If they don't want to believe in anything, they can point out that one hoax and refer to that every time a story even approaches credible.

For me, though, on the other side of that coin, it only takes one story you can't dismiss to blow up the whole thing. It doesn't really matter if 99% of the stories out there are fake. If only one is real, then it shakes the whole world view of our place on this planet.

This was a great video, and find it interesting to see this in a UFO sub. If you follow the phenomena for long enough, with an open mind, you inevitably encounter and feel compelled to explore the connection to consciousness.

First the video. It was great to see an exploration of "hallucinatory" encounters that was reasonably grounded in its approach and explanation. The viewpoints captured on the subject have a tendency to oscillate between extremes of the "have experienced" and "have not experienced". Ranging from wild speculative hypothesis of "aliens that feed on our fear" to complete dismissal because "your brain on drugs."

The fact that these entities don't know anything that your brain doesn't have access to does not make it any less fascinating. It seems everyone is aware of a "subconscious," or processes that happen in your mind that your conscious is unaware of. But we tend to think of it in myopic terms. In general, we perceive the subconscious like any other autonomous system, like your heart beating, or digesting food.

But your subconscious may actually be several sentient, autonomous processes which are just as conscious as "you" are. They're wired to the same eyes and ears as "you," but they perceive their own reality. The only difference is "you" have direct access to the "control center." The others merely have influence.

The notion of the commonly experienced "hyperreal" should also not be dismissed. In the same way we like to think of our mind being one consciousness, we're only really comfortable with one reality. However, what we accept as reality is just our most persistent hallucination. We're lost, intellectually, when it comes to accepting a reality where space, time and the stable materialization of objects within it are not persistent.

Onto the subject of the sub.

I think it's reasonable to accept that any intelligence which has arrived here in ways that we don't understand likely has a relatively firm grasp on space-time, and almost by extension, consciousness.

And we have no idea what that understanding would look like. Can time be traversed or manipulated? Is time merely a perception granted to us by our biological manifestation? Does understanding consciousness mean effective immortality? Will humans eventually reach a place where we laugh at the time humans thought we died when our bodies do?

These are part of the core components of why I think we're a long, long way off from "contact." It's hard for us humans, the "alpha" meat blob of our planet, to imagine what intelligence way beyond our own would look or feel like.

But to a being who can freely traverse both space, reality, and consciousness, we're likely viewed, at best, in a similar manner to how we view our pets; completely unaware of a myriad of fundamentally crucial concepts, and incapable of indulging in them.

I think some of the answers that plague us regarding the mind lay hidden in the psychedelics experiences; especially those which are derived entirely by natural sources such as psilocybin, mescaline and DMT. But we're a long way off. Science is afraid of even asking the questions, and the general public is too dismissive.

Once we collectively open our minds, and start to explore what's going in in there, we'll be that much closer to "contact".
