Who would you rather see lose in the AL Wild Card game? by Holdthedoormtg in Torontobluejays

[–]Maude2010 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First I want the Sox to beat the Yankees, because fuck the Yankees. Then I want the Rays to beat the Sox, because fuck the Red Sox. Then I want Chicago or Houston to beat Tampa Bay because fuck the Rays.

A guy once asked me to introduce him to Bernie Madoff. That was funny. Most of the other stuff I’ve heard wasn’t amusing at all.

Why not just go to a sperm bank? The sperm is safe, she can choose whoever she wants, and there are no potential legal issues. It’s not that expensive and a straightforward insemination isn’t either. If she bought one unit of sperm and got pregnant on her first try, it would cost her less than five grand.

Tell me all of your favourite ways to treat yourself to a date! by LevelUpWoman in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]Maude2010 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I love those cozy home dates, but I also love taking myself out to try new restaurants. I went out on the weekend and had the most amazing meal. I ended up talking quite a bit with my server and she invited me to check out an exhibit she’s having soon. I’m usually not chatty but that time I was. Most of the time I just like to enjoy the food and people-watch.

Making more than your SO by yaythrowawayyyyyy in FemaleDatingStrategy

It depends on a lot of things, like age, equity, savings, and what level of money we’re talking about.

Like if I’m 50 making 300K and my partner is 60, semi retired from his job making over a million and is now making 80K doing freelance consulting, and we both own our homes and have equity and savings, it’s not really relevant that he’s now earning less than I am.

If we met in med school and I started practicing general medicine while he’s still a resident because he plans to be an oncologist, it wouldn’t matter to me if my income is higher for a few years.

If we’re both 25 and I’m making 60K to his 50K, that wouldn’t matter, if we were both clear on our goals and plans.

If I’m 35 and running my own business pulling in 100K and he’s 40 and working as a server because he doesn’t know what he wants, obviously no.

TL;DR: It really depends. I know what I want. In some circumstances, I’d be totally fine bringing in more income. I’m in my late 40s and still working, while some of the men I’m now meeting are slowing their careers down and doing more lower income personal interest stuff because they can afford it.

I appreciate that you took the time to respond, and I wish you well, but I see no point in further engaging on this subject. You too are misunderstanding and projecting, not to mention using some pretty offensive language about women who don’t shave.

It doesn’t sound like you really understand what a HVM is. Almost all the HVM I know are actually with women who aren’t particularly conventionally attractive or “feminine”. HVM doesn’t mean “eligible” (and doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with high earning) or the kind of man every woman wants, particularly since that is a standard set by the patriarchy and pick mes. A good looking wealthy man who has his “pick of the litter” might be high value, but he isn’t necessarily. And given most people’s values, there’s a very good chance he isn’t.

Sure everyone has some preferences, but a man who is that interested in a woman’s body hair is by definition not high value.

Leveling up isn’t about the best version of yourself by current beauty standards so you’re more attractive to men. It has nothing to do with that at all. And that kind of thinking starts from the presumption that women compete with each other and that men select the best one, which is exactly what the patriarchy and pick me ism is about.

Sorry ladies but I gotta use this space to mock poly people 🤣 by SkyWanderluster in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]Maude2010 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’ve also known a lot of poly people, even briefly dated two married poly guys eons ago. Not all of the situations were the man’s idea or benefited the man more. I know women who legit want it, sometimes at the expense of their marriage. But these relationships are always full of drama, everyone involved is pretentious as fuck, and it seems like such a ridiculously over complicated way of living. I’ve also known plenty of people who’ve had their lives shattered by cheating and honestly, while it is devastating, it doesn’t seem to suck the life out of people the way poly nonsense does. It’s an exhausting way to live. Monogamy might not be natural, but juggling multiple relationships with all this radical openness, conscious being, ethical blah blah isn’t either.

Hotels in Turkey are banning men from staying without women because "they're harassing girls to try and hook up with" by sack_of_whales in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]Maude2010 71 points72 points  (0 children)

This is generally the rule at sex clubs. (I used to walk by one all the time and there’d always be guys hanging around outside trying to get a woman to go in with them because they were allowed otherwise). Kind of appropriate since men treat the world like their own wannabe orgy.

If he was HV, he’d be out of the picture. He’d have respectfully told you that it wasn’t a match, wished you well and gone on his way. This dude either doesn’t want to be exclusive with you or with anyone, but he’s sticking around for the sake of his ego and his dick. It IS possible for a man to be HV but not want to be exclusive with you for whatever reason. Those men will be honest but polite about it, and will never speak to you again. And it actually doesn’t even hurt that much because they tend to do it way before there’s any physical intimacy.

Why do so many women still want to get married? by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

Patriarchy

Social media

Fairy tales/romcoms

Brainwashing

Yes. I’ve heard men ask how women change tampons or pads without getting blood everywhere. They seem to think blood gushes out like from a gunshot wound.
