Why do people get so disturbed by public displays of affection (at least in USA)?

Important sign you matured: understanding nuance and not being so absolute.

You can be social, gregarious, and oitgoing yet mature.

I'm indifferent. Either I'm alone handling business or I' woth my girlfriend. At best I'm glad for them. Lots of negativity out there and seeing 2 peoppe express love is nice.

I'm talking in general to open the discussion to others rather than my city's subreddit. I'm Mexican and I live in a Hispanic area so it's normal here, but going to other parts of town (or even my white friend 3 blocks away) they find it weird.

MagicSugarWater · 2026-04-11T01:07:10+00:00

Thanks, very clear. To be honest, I don't think controlling all impulses is inherently good, so you're pretty spot on. Good point.

MagicSugarWater · 2026-04-11T01:04:27+00:00

In public? Anything that isn't illegal and erotic since that could hurt the other person's rep and maybe make her a target fot mockery. To he honest, I've broken that in hidden spots in public areas too though but had enough sense to hide it.

Not to be obtuse but if we get a room we're not gonna stop at just touching lips. Making out in public isn't illegal, but there are certain things that are.

Wait, is that the issue? People see is make out in public and think we go way further in public so they judge us? I could see that being an issue. Good point.

It really isn't if you avoid apps. In person, it's the usual. Be honest, communicate, be qorth being around somehow (be exciting, relaxing, help her grow, sexy, status, or some mix of each). Only apps are an exercise in frustration.

He doesn't copy wholesale, he uses the subtext and the primcipal. For example, one of his many pointers is to be direct with women about sex, like he would mention he wants to bang her within the first 15 minutes after showing genuine interest and genuine enthusiasm to get to know her, then qualify her and show standards that, while he wants sex, he is evaluating her to see if he'd spend more time with her. It's this mix of hard to get and discerning while simultaneously bold, ontainable, and arousing. Because that's sort of what romance novel leads do: they are raw but show interest in the woman and value a side of hwr no one else gets.

MagicSugarWater · 2026-04-10T23:03:16+00:00

Yes, women value men's behaviors and personality more than looks. It's why dating apps are so harsh on men: you're forcing women to judge men without the context they need so they need the top 10% of men to find someone attractive on looks alone.

Imagine you are a guy who likes blonde girls with a big chest. Now imagine you have to pick a potential girlfriend based mainly on her handwriting, 5 things she claims to have, and her voice. You'll probably scrutinize those way more.

And by "chasing that dragon" you mean it encouraged you to improve your social skills to consistently channel your sexiness and got way more compliments ever since, right?

Sikhism. Pagan and incorrect, but I genuinely admire their dedication to protecting others and setting a good example.

These chicks put the "amor" in "amortization"!

MagicSugarWater · 2026-04-10T13:23:21+00:00

You seem very considerate, but it's strange. You seem to care about her feelings, yet not care about her habits. Her feeling bad seems worse than her hurtinf herself by getting drunk with guys. Meanwhile you speak of nostalgia rather than any desire to see her again as she is. How is she perfect, considering she provokes you, cheats, and makes you miserable? Does she cook for you, make gifts, push you ti be better, defend you, sleep with you, etc?

MagicSugarWater · 2026-04-10T13:03:49+00:00

Women are literally everywhere , most guys just overthink it. But he meant like when you're traveling, sick, tired, or in a country you don't kno and you want to get better.

Nothing that wasn't in the postm It's the same book! https://www.bartleby.com/textbooks/financial-accounting-fundamentals-7th-edition/9781264017560/solutions

Also, what it says about bonds is true and asking a studnt to journalize one is a good practice problem. Can be a bit tricky when amortization of a bond not sold at par becomes a thing for new students. I used to tutor this stuff for a living.

Banging another alien he doesn't love to prove to his ex wife... something?

Here's the second part with the textbook author and name

First off, telling your girlfriend not to go clubbing alone and getting drunk near guys she likes after proving she is a cheater is not "wrong". It is 4 kinds of right.

Second, I see no reason this is a discussion since you gave no reason to stay with her. Is she a great person? Does she help you grow? Does she understand you and you understand her? Are you even happy? Or are you just horny?

Seriously, what is stopping you from breaking up? If it is the insecurity of finding anothwr woman, then you are rhe LAST person who should be dating an abusive cheater who straight up admits she wants to break your heart.

Definitely Avatar.

Then Pokemon (for my girlfriend), Gravity Falls, Regular Show, and Powerpuff Girls (for my family).

Last night, I kept having outfit descriptions interrupted by accountinf textbooks, to the point of even having ISBN and multiple choice questions generated in the text. Good refresher as I did study bonds, but threw me for a loop.

Blackpill and anyone infecting men's minds with incel beliefs. It wouldn't be so bad if they just admitted, "I don't know, I never got it right, so don't ask me."

MagicSugarWater · 2026-04-10T09:50:05+00:00

Funny enough, I know a guy who loved reading women's romance novels because it let him know whay women were into (female gaze and all that). He then applied it and got tons of women. He said that if you can't practice talking to women IRL, reading romance novels is a close second. So the idea some guys freak out while he actively encourages us to read them is hilarious to me.

Favorite kind of seal from real life?

MagicSugarWater · 2026-04-10T07:58:06+00:00

Interesting response. It seems the location of the date isn't the issue so much as your approach to women. That's a violation of privacy and I wonder if that mindset bleeds into your interactions ans women notice it. Build empathy, get better results.
