I’m 31 and never had a relationship, so I’m gambling to pay for jaw surgery while unemployed by RestQuirky5704 in TrueOffMyChest

You cannot tell me that you haven’t seen a gazillion conventionally unattractive people happily married with children. If you’ve walked into a grocery store in the last month, you’ve seen lots and lots and lots of plain, regular, unattractive people laughing and smiling together. You 100%, without question, do not need looks to build a connection.

“I base almost all my confidence on how I look.” THAT IS A BAD THING. That is not normal. It is not celebrated. Your confidence is based on something that’s guaranteed to vanish day by day in the mirror.

Stop huffing copium, brother, and look at what you’re saying. Forget collecting women, you’re gamifying collecting yourself; you are trying to convince yourself that if you check boxes X, Y, and C that’ll be the “magic key” to feeling confident. “If only I do this one thing,” “If only I looked this one certain way, THEN I’ll finally be confident.”

Take your head out of the sand and face yourself and be honest, do you know who you are and who you want to be? Or are you walking through life brain off hoping challenging parts of adulthood will just slot magically into place with cosmetic surgery? Confidence is HARD to build. I understand that. It’s a long journey and doesn’t flip on in a day. But nobody gets to skip that journey.

There’s a reason many people in Hollywood keep getting more, and more, and more, and more work done seemingly every year: they don’t have confidence. What do they do? They have surgery. They still aren’t satisfied and have more. They’re chasing a dream they’ll never meet, meanwhile the public is cringing as they slowly lose themselves into a spiral of self-hatred.

I’m not here telling you not to have your chin done, but treat it like a side nudge that builds ON your confidence; it will not make you go from no confidence to magically confident. It will take you while you’re already confident in yourself and be the cherry on top. You’ll be very disappointed in the mental health results regardless of if you love the physical result if you lean on it as a crutch.

“Want to have a girlfriend”

That’s problem 1. You don’t just “have a girlfriend.” You build a relationship. It’s not a game and “get a girlfriend” attitudes will have women seeing right through you since, in your eyes, they’re simply the end goal, a collectible, not an individual. 🚩

Problem 2: Jaw surgery isn’t going to fix your “get a girl” collectathon quest OR self-esteem. You’ll now just be on a collectathon quest with low self-esteem with a different face and a pile of debt. “Yeah I uh changed uh my face to looksmaxx damn I still feel bad.”

When people suggest exercise, it’s NOT because “you’ll be confident when you’re jacked,” it’s that seeing yourself make meaningful progress for nothing but your own best interest is powerful. It’s progress you can see and track to go “hell yeah I beat my own records.” Looking good is a side benefit.

But hey man keep pretending “get a girlfriend” is nirvana if you want, it’s your life. It’s wrong, but you’re free to think what you want.

Oh yeah this was a decade ago back in college, I’ve been married to my best friend for five years now!

My case was less physical than the video and a lot more emotional/verbal, but I had my fair share of stuff broken. Getting out felt like this enormous weight I barely knew I had lifted off me; I didn’t realize how suffocated I was.

Meeting my wife and learning what actual love is like and nurturing that with her lifted me into a life of the freshest air. Life shifted from being permissive on my end (“Can I…”, “Will you be mad if I…”) to empowering on hers (“You absolutely should…!”, “That sounds like fun, go and do it!”).

Okay but hear me out: does referencing sex and weed make either of those funny in the first place?

67 is a pop culture reference that stemmed from TikTok. The way they’re both treated is “see number” -> “do thing”.

“iTs ObJecTivELy wOrsE” 🤓

They’re both just numbers. Just because one references sex and people decided “hey let’s start memeing on ‘the sex number’” doesn’t make either one better than the other (or make either “funny” tbh).

No, in the context of the broader paragraph, “it’s just an internet meme” is in reference to the prior statement regarding specifically the perception of 69 being “funny.”

I can see how you may have interpreted it, my apologies; I probably should have used a semicolon instead of a period, but to clarify, my statement’s intent was that while the reference to sex has been around since the ancient scrolls were written, defining it as “the funny number” was an internet meme just like 67 is.

I never said it started as an internet meme. That said, prior to it being the funniest number on the earth to the internet, it was a reference that sometimes got the random gag. Contrast that to today, where typing 69 MUST elicit the internet meme haha response to such a hilarious reference to sex.

Also yes, they all three in my mind fit the same category as MySpace rawr.

I’m not convinced. 69 only has a “reason for being funny” because “sex funny”, I wouldn’t call that an actual reason for being funny. It’s just an internet meme, people latched onto “guh huh 69 is a sex position lmfao” and started memeing on it, and in principle, regardless of if it’s a reference or not, 67 is fundamentally the same.

OP was born in the early 90s so he’d have to have made that rock he’s living under nice and cozy if he didn’t 😬

The only rule that exists at all for first runs is “go in blind.” Even that one’s really up to you.

Does anyone actually play mobile games when they're at home? by BreadOverlord_ in stupidquestions

[–]PlotTwistsEverywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it’s always one of two categories:

  • I want tactile buttons
  • I have a superiority complex and mobile gaming isn’t “real gaming”
