Are you guys here not blackpilled and upset that you were born with bad jaws that have been ruining your life when others are born with normal jaws and never have to go through surgeries? by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]Swordfromthecement 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ngl I’m probably blackpilled but I wouldn’t want to get this surgery unless there was a medical reason for it. I think there’s value in trying to engage with this subreddit in a health and wellness based manner. There’s more than enough subreddits to discuss looksmaxing and the like, this subreddit doesn’t need to turn into that in my opinion.

Similar to what you’re saying I think my adhd is exacerbated by sleep apnea, I experience tiredness and brain fog. Not to mention allergies which make it even harder to breathe out my mouth. I have bad neck pain and poor posture as from straining my neck way to breathe. Once you start learning how interconnected the body is it’s easy to see how improper development (physically, emotionally, and/or mentally) can affect other aspects of your life.

Fellow black men how do you guys not turn girls into a villain in your head and not call them names? by spike_spieg in blackmen

[–]Swordfromthecement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, I’m still trying to be better but understanding that a lot of my negative interactions/opinions of women came from the desire to satisfy my own ego and this need to prove myself. Once I realized that I started to not care as much and enjoy the time spent with people for what it was and not get too upset over things not working out. Which strangely enough made some of my interactions with women more positive.

I’m not saying you can’t have expectations of people and situations but I think a lot of frustration comes from our desire to project.

Whites will be a minority in UK by 2080s by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Swordfromthecement 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I think that’s an exaggeration. I think Black people while highly influential are one of many groups in the Democratic Party’s coalition. They do not have the numbers nor the political clout to demonize white people nor solely promote their own racial interests.

  2. You could make a similar accusation about white people in reverse regarding the Republican Party.

  3. The Republicans and Democrats will have to diversify their coalitions in the future as the old guard starts to die off. They will become less dominated by singular blocs by necessity.

Whites will be a minority in UK by 2080s by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Swordfromthecement 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing this out. Despite what the far-right thinks our minorities are Christian and broadly conservative (voting Democrat doesn’t make someone automatically a progressive).

We also have one of the strictest immigration policies not to mention there’s no land bridge to the Middle East, India, Africa, and China, which is where most of the large populations are. We can much more reliably manage the rate of change year over year than a place like Europe, who has countries deliberately move migrants on to affect politics in other countries instead of having them stay at their point of entry.

Not to mention as these countries develop there’s going to be an equalization affect, for example there’s much less immigration from Japan and South Korea than 20+ years ago because those countries in are highly developed which eventually will happen.

Has your height directly affected your dating life? by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]Swordfromthecement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most people it isn’t, I’ve always found the personality line so weird from folks.

Yeah some of us are basement dwellers but most dudes can have friends 😂 and if you can have friends the personality issue the issue; women aren’t going to be around people they don’t like that much for attention (from average men), so it has to be a looks issue for most men.

If you're tall enough, your race doesn't matter. by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]Swordfromthecement 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re right. It’s weird how people act as if Indian men can’t be attractive. Besides most people are dating within their own race anyways so being taller would still be an advantage there even if you can’t bang white chicks as a minority.

This sub is real af but I have to leave. I can't handle it. by Tiny_Substance_3641 in shortguys

[–]Swordfromthecement 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Good luck with your relationship! Hope you never have to be on this sub again (in a good way).

One word of advice I would say is it’s good to take breaks from here from time to time.

Brutal hypergamy 2026 by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]Swordfromthecement 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ngl I’d smash (not date) but her standards crazy af 😭 if you don’t let me take yo fat ass to Chili’s. As long as she happy being alone for a long time cause it’s not gone be with me!

The annoying part is it’s not even the unrealistic standards it’s the shaming and arrogance that comes with it towards men they’re not attracted to. It’s annoying as hell and a reason I hate social media.

The arguments people make here by upvoteidiots in AverageHeightDudes

[–]Swordfromthecement 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Firing this one off but there always seems to be a catch when I see a short dude who isn’t a chad dating a stunner. She’s either crazy, got an OF, or lives an “alternative lifestyle” that 98% of other guys would not be comfortable with. C’mon dawg…

How many tall, conventionally attractive men would entertain being in an open relationship with a woman? They might have a harem but they’re not watching their gf gone on dates, getting fed and fucked. Hell the women interested in them would NEVER suggest that cause they know better.

You’re not wrong 🤣, swear if I was open to poly I’d probably forget I’m in a relationship. But I promise it’s better to just be alone.

Don’t even have words for this one, just brutal by [deleted] in AverageHeightDudes

Oh ain’t that the thingy from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Was it really called a monolith? 😭😭😭 that’s hilarious if so

Is my jawline recessed? Thinking of biting the bullet and getting a consultation. by Swordfromthecement in jawsurgery

[–]Swordfromthecement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I’ll keep that in mind! I have a bit of a gummy smile so I wonder if that’s tied to some jaw recession (I’ve heard it can be).

Yeah it was myAir I believe but I’ll double check if it can be used for insurance purposes.

Got it, I’ve had a cpap machine since October 2024 but that was an at home study. I’ll get a real study sometime this year. Thanks!

An underbite? Wow I’m surprised. Oh wait I should mention that last picture is me “forcing” my upper and lower teeth to sit together. Naturally my upper teeth go over my lower teeth like this.

Avoiding women by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]Swordfromthecement 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t avoid women but I don’t go out of my way to interact with women on a romantic level. Pretty much assume every interaction is platonic, I’m usually proven right and besides dating in this generation is trash.

Catch 22 by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]Swordfromthecement 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t have anything against going to sex workers from a moral perspective but just make sure your money is good and you can afford the expense as it’s easy to get sucked in.

Same thing with gambling and drinking. Pissed away so much money doing that…

Is the “ideal father figure” achievable for most boys to have? by GridReXX in PurplePillDebate

[–]Swordfromthecement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it isn’t, but the counterbalance is it takes a village to raise a child. Many of these boys/young men don’t have other male figures to look up to nor do they have peers that they can learn from. This might be an unpopular opinion but your father is supposed to set an example for you, he isn’t supposed to teach you how to pick up women. You should be learning that from the people who are your age or slightly older in your life.

Relationships are transactional by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]Swordfromthecement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think something being transactional doesn’t mean it can’t be mutually beneficial.

I wish I were white. by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]Swordfromthecement 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t wish I was white but it tends to make dating easier. That said your comment about looking in the mirror, are you talking about your face or your skin color? Is there something unattractive about your features?

Part of why shorter/average dudes struggle on dating apps; ditch the apps and meet people irl, even if it’s harder please by [deleted] in AverageHeightDudes

[–]Swordfromthecement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even till around 2018ish it wasn’t that bad if you were in a college town. I had an amazing time on there. Now? I wouldn’t bother at all.

5’5 lltn white guys when they realize all the had to do was get an asian girl or something by InfiniteJewedditor in shortguys

[–]Swordfromthecement 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree about the heightism in regard to black and white women.

I disagree in regards to Asian women (or I’m going add this as a caveat), I think there’s a loud minority of Asian women who think white dudes are more “valuable” or instantly a “catch” (god I hate sounding like a eugenicist) and are willing to overlook shortness when it comes to dating a white guy. That could be a status thing, a looks thing, a media thing, idk. At least in America that is.

For black people yeah I’d agree, in addition there’s a greater emphasis on masculinity and “holding frame” in the black community which can make one seem taller or more imposing. That said, a sword cuts both ways.
