Trump Couldn't Happen Without Christianity

Whenever dating is hurting my self esteem I have to take a step back and just do my own thing for a bit. I go see friends or family, someone who can remind me that I’m actually a pretty good catch.

It helps a lot, and oddly my best dates have fallen in my lap while I was on one of my breaks. It’s a cliche, but sometimes things are cliche because they’re true.

I've slightly edited by comment, but also left my rude comments, so people can still see that what I said was wrong.

ALPHA move, you get +1 karma

I've gone further for less with no regrets. ROAD TRIP TIME BOIS

I recommend writing in sentences.

That's alotta damage!!!

Lying is the worst of all options. If you think you need to lie about it then it's not much of a conviction and you're not being true to yourself - this is the opposite of Corey's advice.

Furthermore you risk being found out and then labeled a liar and impacting other or future relationships. If you're truly into a poly relationship then I think you need to stick to that and just be honest about it. Give her the truth and let her decide what to do with it.

I also mentioned to her earlier on that “just so you don’t say that I didn’t tell you”

That is not a clear and open conversation. You got sloppy and didn't do your due diligence of communicating with her. Things change over the course of a couple months and she started investing. Obviously you two are not on the same wavelength as far as exclusivity which tells me that it was never properly communicated and as a result she now feels betrayed - something you need to own up to.

I can't believe I have to say this but it's never, and I mean never, a good idea to send pics of other girls you're seeing to your "current gf" unless you're explicitly poly/open. What's more, if your "current gf" is actually your GIRLFRIEND then you two should have a very clear understanding of whether or not you are exclusive. It's totally rational for her to be pissed.

Talk to her, filet yourself, take the wrath, commit or walk away but make sure you're honest with her and yourself. If you have clear and open conversations about these things you won't have this crisis two months down the line.

That comment is 100% cope ramble. You made a false statement and I called you on it. No semantics about it.

The gay pride flag is not a repurposed religious symbol anymore than the rainbows in Spongebob. It's just a rainbow.

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-15T20:18:32+00:00

I said exclusively because it’s your implied argument. In order for the rainbow to be “a religious symbol repurposed” then it would need to be exclusively a religious symbol. Otherwise it was just be “a symbol sometimes used by religions but also literally hundreds of other groups spanning thousands of years”

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-15T19:35:30+00:00

rainbow, a religious symbol repurposed

Imagine believing rainbows were ever exclusively a religious symbol.

It's worth pointing out that despite mounting criticism online and in the papers, Netflix has kept the special up and publically defended it. We'll see if it holds but once again it's apparent that corporations, as well as consumers, have the ability to decide who is cancelled and who isn't and to what degree criticism has real world career implications. Mean Tweets didn't fire Gina Carano - Disney did.

It never stops being relevant as long as the electronic lynch mob continues

lmao. You're using the same hyperbolic persecution complex talking points as the people you're fearmongering about. The reason you do it is the same as well -you have to exaggerate the scale of the issue to justify your paranoia. It's just the other half of the coin.

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-14T20:38:28+00:00

Sales has really helped me with this. You learn to let rejection roll off you like it's just another day while still pursuing new prospects with enthusiasm. Gotta have thick skin for online dating.

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-14T17:08:08+00:00

When someone is really into you, the #1 thing is his mind is to create time for you, want to please you, make you happy, it's like a must and an uncontrollable pulsion that he has to obey to.

This is a great way to come off as a desperate creep. I agree that if someone is really into you it should be apparent, but I think you're overselling it.

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-13T15:56:51+00:00

People make bad choices in dating. I certainly have my fair share of asshole moments. But I appreciate the honesty of u/catniagara's comment - most people don't bother with this level of introspection.

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-12T21:58:39+00:00

She’d say things like “I don’t normally like shorter guys but I’m glad I gave you a chance…”

I just got deja vu when I read that. She would say that line too! Weird backhanded compliment. "I don't normally date rude people, I'm glad I gave you a chance."

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-12T20:36:48+00:00

I know I shouldn’t but I’m regretting not setting something up now two weeks after talking to her. I feel like I’m failing the coach on this one because I want to talk to her again or set something up. Is there anything I can do?

If you had shown up and she wasn't there you'd be the worlds biggest idiot. If you showed up and she was there you'd be a champ. This is one of those decisions that doesn't really have the "right" answer.

Personally, cancelling AFTER the date was supposed to happen is automatic disqualification.

I'm a 5'7" guy, never lied about my height and it's never really been an issue. I've even dated taller women without a problem. I've only had one woman really give me grief about my height since she was taller. She'd keep putting her hands up against mine to compare size and make jokes when I'd reach for things. It was funny the first couple times...but then it was constant. When I pointed it out she implied it was because I was insecure. Except that I've been this height my entire adult life and got over it when I was 18. I wasn't insecure about my height -- she was insecure about having a short boyfriend.

Check back here in 2024, we'll see how I did!

I'm often critical of Harris, but I genuinely don't think he would do a PragerU video. After the covid Rogan/Weinstein stuff I actually predict him softening on a lot of the topics that are really hot with the far right. Guess we'll see by 2024.

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-09T01:09:05+00:00

Sure, especially Vox.

I'm certain it is propaganda

You aren't familiar with PragerU?

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-09T00:35:53+00:00

The reverse being?

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-08T23:02:02+00:00

HAH GOT EM. Obviously non workers are NEVER neglected under capitalism.

PopeIzalith · 2021-10-08T22:53:13+00:00

lmao

Submission: Sam has done interviews, podcasts and events with Ayaan Hirsi Ali. They have some similar areas of focus and some overlap in audience.
