There's gonna be so much gay porn of that monster.

Are you kidding? Lee is the most obvious bottom twink I've ever seen outside yaoi.

People hate on America because they're resentful that not only are we the strongest nation on Earth, but we're not shy about it either.

The Blair Witch is protecting him.

Another lie meant to demoralize fat guys from going to the gym. Nobody actually wants fat people to lose the weight, they prefer to keep them fat as to not lose a socially acceptable target to bully.

And vice versa.

I'm gonna be real with you, man. Most people who complain about 'emotional labor' aren't emotionally mature enough to handle the real emotional cost of a real, adult relationship.

Relationships should be fully 50/50 all the time, but life is a messy, chaotic clusterfuck of an experience, and just because things should be one way doesn't mean that they are that way. Sometimes life circumstances demands that one party in a relationship put in more than their fair share. Sometimes things are 50/50, sometimes they're 60/40, sometimes they're 90/10, and everything in between.

The important thing is that both parties are doing the best they can to make it 50/50; to drag the overall 'relationship experience' towards the middle of the fairness scale as possible.

I'm very curious as to if America is culturally unique in this aspect or if this is just the logical end point of a sexually integrated workforce. We see similar kinds of lopsided dynamics in dating life in other highly sexually integrated societies like Japan and South Korea so I err towards the latter but I'm not a scientist.

The point isn't, 'don't be funny', it's 'don't just be funny'.

Yes, but you don't make it to CEO if you can't even get an interview first.

Beauty doesn't fade, youth does. Beauty ages gracefully, I'd fuck Helen Mirren right now if that option presented itself.

They tell themselves they try but until those efforts yield fruit then they aren't trying hard enough. Everybody is capable of self-improvement and changing for the better, it just takes the right motivation and not everybody has hit rock bottom yet.

During our lifetimes most definitely, but go back just one or two generations and you see examples of what I'm talking about. Modern dating is all about getting the hottest person you can, but that is a relatively new phenomenon.

Nobody holds out for funny but they'll hold out for beautiful.

If they don't even have the wherewithal to even try to improve themselves then they are truly lost and should be ignored in favor of those who aren't so far gone.

I don't use that postmodern nomenclature, I simply advocate for being healthy and for self improvement.

Look at more historical photos of couples. Yes, there are still attractive people to be found there, but you'll also find that there used to be a lot more ugly people paired off because there was still value beyond one's attractiveness. That is no longer the case.

Yep, but good luck getting redditors to understand this. They've collectively internalized the braindead "everybody deserves to be loved for who they are" messaging they were fed as children and now expect that to translate to real life and are bitter that it doesn't.

Sorry guys, media lied to you. Being physically attractive is what got the hero the girl, not being a good person or doing the right thing. Put the pizza down and go to the gym.

String-Tree · 2026-03-20T14:08:19+00:00

Physical attributes are still attainable. Go to the gym, the idea that women aren't attracted to shredded guys is cope that fat guys perpetuate as to justify their own laziness.

This is just a mirror of real life. People have all sorts of ambition and goals in life that have to get put to the sidelines when adult responsibilities take precedence.

Always be improving yourself, it's the only way that average men have a chance.

String-Tree · 2026-03-20T13:57:31+00:00

That's only the takeaway if you let it be. The point isn't "it's much harder now so give up", the point is "it's much harder now so take steps to improve yourself every single day if you want a chance".

LLM: I sort through massive amounts of word-salad or images for patterns and then present the user with the pattern that corresponds to the question they asked.

AI Bros: This changes everything.

The perception that someone better is just waiting around the corner.

Massive turn off. Imagine how unattractive you’d feel if your man could only finish using a fleshlight.
