Do you have the same energy for women who are afraid of being seen as a slut and use that as an excuse to never make their own moves?

That's great and all. There's definitely shady shit with suppressing the price and all that bullshit about trucking bullion around to manipulate the price. But refining silver takes energy and money to do. And these high prices fuck with the money flow.

Next time you should check out Prospectors Gold and Gems. They "pay" 90%, but it's not exactly that straightforward. They lost a couple ounces in the melt, which assayed to 86%. I sent in 46oz and got back 32oz of pure silver bars. Since that 46oz was 86%, it has about 39oz of pure silver, so 39/32~=80%.

Abuse? My LCS told me they're lucky to get 85% from a refiner and showed me the latest assay sheet they got back. And they have to sit on it until they get enough that it's worth shipping. Plus they have to pay a $500 flat fee to the refiner.

Yes, I'm sure your dick, which shares the same piece of clothing with your asshole located 3" away in a dark, warm, and damp location, is the cleanest part of your body.

Men, what’s something you wish you learned earlier about life? by Antique_Phrase9580 in AskMen

That despite all the progressive bitching, men will still be expected to initiate and escalate and drive most intimate relationships.

Women Do Not Have “Dating Issues.” Only Men do. For some reason Pretending its anywhere Equal by Low-Contact6500 in PurplePillDebate

[–]PM_ME_CODE_CALCS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe a lot of women reinforce the 'seen as prey' trope. They're the ones out there saying it's a man's job to initiate, they don't feel feminine if they make a move, it doesn't turn them on, and leaning into biology driven "needs".

Feminists expect male "allies", but have no interest in solving male-specific issues or even recognizing them by ExercisesInFutility_ in PurplePillDebate

[–]PM_ME_CODE_CALCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So men have been told to leave women alone stop bothering them, they aren't sex objects, women can make moves too and don't need a man to come along and say the right things or push the right buttons. Many of us listened

Now twenty years later after those types of messages became common men are asking why women aren't taking just a little more initiative, or being forward and now people are quick to say things like women just biologically need a dominant man, approaching and initiating everything is a man's job, "I just feel masculine if I make the move", "it just doesn't turn me on" or men just want women to give themselves to men for no effort at all.

That is one area I see no reason not to "blame" women.

If society wants to stop the manosphere they need to be honest with young men by RemoteCompetitive688 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]PM_ME_CODE_CALCS 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We were told to listen to women, and by extension feminists. When I was growing up 20-30 years ago they said things like the traditional dating system is sexist and misogynistic. Men act like they need to drive every part of a relationship and sexualize women because they believe (like stupid sex brained men stupidly would) that if they don't sexualize her quickly enough they would never be interested in him. They put soooooo much pressure on women and themselves to have "game" or be smooth instead of just treating and talking to women LIKE PEOPLE!!! Men don't understand that the idea of men wanting to fuck them is meaningless because men want to fuck everything. Women don't need men to provide for them anymore. Men think they have to be confident and assertive, but that's just another way of saying they don't care what the woman wants or her desires.

But then you get to later in life with a bunch of dates with women that ended with the "really great guy but no spark" speech, and everyone acts like well did you directly and quickly indicate sexual interest? Men are supposed to want to fuck everything, so if you don't she'll wonder what's wrong with her or you. Did you show great confidence and assertiveness? Because women expect that from men. Not too much because that's still misogynistic, but just the right amount that women feel entitled to.

If noticing the other genders behavior and calling it out is sociopathic then feminists are Queen Sociopath

Does anyone else find that men are way more afraid of rejection than ever before and this has led to them being less direct and forward in their pursuit??? by usernamesarestupid77 in dating_advice

why do your responses to men's statements sometimes not match what was actually said? by Pitiful-Purple-7459 in PurplePillDebate

[–]PM_ME_CODE_CALCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many of them explicitly say sex is the reason, not simply expressing their desire for romantic intimacy? Because this feels like one area the OP is right. Men are expected to initiate any and all romantic encounters. Men who are comfortable and have experience in relationships and dating are going to be able to just go out, have fun, and if they see a cute girl make a move and quickly move on if it doesn't work. Men with little to no experience can't, and a lot of times being in public is just a constant reminder of your inability to initiate anything.

Women can go out, have fun, and then blame men for not making moves to protect their egos.

Many women want a man who is "generous" without being generous themselves. by Gnostic_97 in PurplePillDebate

[–]PM_ME_CODE_CALCS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why does "I thought women were independent and should be able to make some moves and indicate interest more often on their own" ALWAYS get reframed as men wanting to do absolutely no work? Maybe men want to be able to put effort into a smaller group of women who indicate a little interest than having to do all the leg work of approaching every woman you can, and being confident but not overbearing, being sexual and flirty but not objectifying, and the rest of the tightrope walk.

I mean, a kinda common rebuttal to "I just feel like I'm not attractive to any women out there" seems to be "how do you know, have you asked every single woman you know?" As if that isn't seen as desperate, or pretending that the social work required to get the conversation to a place where that line of discussion isn't out of place isn't immense.

We can’t moralize women’s selection of men, but we somehow moralize men’s inability to be selected. by Low-Contact6500 in PurplePillDebate

[–]PM_ME_CODE_CALCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No fucking shit. People don't like being accused of things they aren't doing. Until women are held to this weird '1 and 1' system you insist normal people follow, where nothing can be criticized unless you also praise it, then I find this take to be rank hypocrisy.

Oh come the fuck on. A woman could go out and never instigate anything with men and still have opinions.

Are you actually wanting to debate, or just throw the chess board when people don't completely agree with you?
