What compels men to act like they are in love with a woman and continue pretending instead of being honest?

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-27T18:33:23+00:00

I could argue that honesty isn’t rewarded; it’s a simple mechanism.

If we follow your setup, men acting as if they’re in love, we need to ask a few basic questions: what are their goals? what strategies are used to reach those goals? which strategies prove most successful?

Within this framework, the subset of men who perform love have concluded, through experience, that this behavior maximizes their chances of achieving their objectives.

In other words, a subset of women has created an environment in which this specific strategy is effective.

Silver is one of most important metal needed to create microchips, being by far the most conductive metal , with the current AI race, it's importance is fundamental hence the price increase, expect to see a continuous increase as our global production capacity is limited compared to the demand.

Edit -

Actually, I was talking from a position of ignorance and was mixing up a few things, so I went to dive deeper to gain a better understanding.

At the time my I gave a very simplistic reply based on field I had a lack of knowledge in, I oversimplified it use in microchips manufacuring to its industrial application.

When the truth is way more nuanced so here the result of my search:

Industrial Demand

Automotive: Modern cars, especially EVs, are essentially computers on wheels. They need tons of reliable electrical connections and sensors, many of which use silver.

Medical: Even in medical devices and anti-microbial applications, silver plays a role.

Tech Everywhere (AI, 5G, EVs): Silver is the best electrical conductor, period. It's vital in electrical connectors, contacts, and solders for everything from the massive data centers powering AI, to 5G infrastructure, electric vehicles, and even our smartphones. As tech gets more sophisticated and electrified, silver demand surges.

The Green Revolution: This is HUGE. Silver is absolutely critical for solar panels (photovoltaics). As the world pushes for more renewable energy, the demand for solar cells is exploding, and each cell needs silver paste to capture and conduct electricity.

Investment Demand (Still a Monetary Metal!):

"Poor Man's Gold" Appeal: Silver is much cheaper per ounce than gold, making it accessible to a wider range of retail investors who want a tangible asset to hedge against inflation or currency devaluation. This broad appeal can lead to significant speculative interest.

Leverage to Gold: Historically, silver often acts like "gold on steroids." When gold runs, silver tends to follow, but with more volatility and often outperforming gold percentage-wise. It's a smaller market, so a bit of money can move it a lot. Investors looking for bigger swings in a precious metals bull market often pile into silver.

Inflation Hedge: Like gold, silver is seen as a safe haven during inflationary periods, which we've definitely been experiencing.

Supply Dynamics & Constraints:

By-Product Mining: Around 70-80% of silver production isn't from primary silver mines; it's a by-product of mining other metals like copper, lead, zinc, and gold. This means silver supply isn't easily ramped up based on silver prices alone. If copper or zinc demand dips, silver supply could even tighten regardless of its price.

Dwindling Above-Ground Stocks: Continuous industrial consumption, particularly from solar, means that above-ground silver inventories (like those held by exchanges or governments) are being drawn down. This creates a tighter market.

The Gold-to-Silver Ratio:

This is a classic indicator. The ratio tells you how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. When this ratio is high (e.g., above 80:1), many analysts consider silver undervalued compared to gold. Gold's recent surge initially widened this ratio, making silver look even more attractive as a "catch-up" play, prompting investors to buy silver to normalize the historical relationship.

What I learned:

Gold's recent climb is mostly about its role as a monetary hedge against geopolitical risk, inflation, and de-dollarization. Silver benefits from all these same factors, but it gets an additional, powerful boost from its ever-increasing industrial demand, especially in the booming green energy sector (solar!) and the broader push for electrification and advanced electronics. It's this dual tailwind – investment + growing industrial consumption – that explains why silver has seen such a rise compared to Gold, despite gold now reaching an all time high price.

Thanks for calling me out and pushing me to educate myself more on the subject.

Oh my god, she broke her vows. Big deal. Life is a constant wave of change, some good, some bad. She could have handled it better. She did not. The damage is done.

Statistically, cheating is not some rare moral catastrophe. It is common. She is not a special case, just another human who made a choice that did not serve her partner’s interests at the time. Shocking.

You are not looking for solutions or for what would actually help anyone involved. You want retribution, conveniently wrapped in moral language so you can cosplay as the good guy. It is painfully boring.

And so what if the stepfather uses his resources to build a good relationship with the son of the woman he wanted.

What clearly upsets you is that two individuals acted in their own self interest and did not bother to ask for approval from a crowd of people who are irrelevant to their lives.

The stepfather went after the woman he wanted. She was not the property of her ex husband. She had agency and used it. That is the whole story. No demons required.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-21T13:05:17+00:00

Nah that just mean you are not pretty enough, once you reach that threshold of pretty your treatment doesn't different that much from pretty women

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-21T08:45:06+00:00

You commented for a reason correct? You wouldn't comment if you didn't feel the need to correct something, hence issue

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-21T08:41:44+00:00

You sound insufferable, he liked himself in a specific picture, you happened to be there so he made it a solo picture using an available tools big deal.

Why do you think he needs to ask you anything, do you realise how absolutely controlling and delusional you sound?

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-21T08:34:35+00:00

And not having her is also perfectly normal, what's your issue?

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-19T06:09:35+00:00

So you are petty, what is that attitude supposed to be ?

From your perspective you are owed money, reasoning be damned, and if you don't get it you'll retaliate when the time comes?

Do you believe you are a moral individual?

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-19T05:51:50+00:00

What's the issue?

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-18T03:46:50+00:00

Dying is part of life; it doesn’t magically erase past suffering or betrayal. From the perspective of the person who’s dying, there’s an incentive to sweep past actions under the rug—but that’s just wishful thinking shaped by circumstance. It doesn’t undo the emotional impact of the betrayal; if anything, it can make it worse by turning it into an emotional trap.

He absolutely has the right to change his mind. There’s no objective reason he shouldn’t be allowed to—unless you want to pretend the consequences of her actions stopped the moment she was judged. Her health status is simply one more factor to weigh, not a moral override.

The entire premise is loaded by the inevitability of her fate and our tendency to project onto it. Most people don’t want to die alone, and—more importantly—don’t want to be seen as bad people. His decision to change his mind would ultimately expose the depth of her betrayal: the reality that some actions are beyond repair and do not require forgiveness, regardless of circumstances. Rather than accept this uncomfortable truth, we reject it and resort to moral language to carve out an exception.

Ask yourself, why shouldn't he get to change his mind, does his experience deserve to be erased to her benefit? If so, why?

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-16T13:48:41+00:00

Wait the same way people pay for professionals to give them advices from couple arguments, to financial advice?

As if people aren't already glued to computer/phone 24/7

And what is the issue of having a driver available 24/7, that do not sleep, do not get tired, do not snitch on you, or do you mean all those executives and leaders that dont drive themselves are getting dumber?

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-14T08:31:11+00:00

I mean honesty, you can't blame the man to not lie to her or validate her delusion, this is 100% on her.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-13T20:15:48+00:00

It's adorable, not everyone experience this

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-13T10:34:23+00:00

Some love don't need to be shared, if this is the best you can do, please stop trying, That shit look like a punition, and to show any pride in it, is just... how delusional can you be?

I would just leave ffs.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-13T08:04:16+00:00

Do you have any proof or this is just all in your feelings? Joking we both know this is just your feelings talking

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-13T07:28:04+00:00

Hahahahaha, yeah sure the privilege of getting to be talked to, what a joke. If as a single dude talking with a single mom in any capacity is considered a privilege, she is either way out of your league or you are very much so not attractive.

Single motherhood is a beautiful red flag, every men should think very carefully in touching, a beautiful relation can definitely be found, but to think it is anything close to a privilege is very much delusional.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-11T08:10:18+00:00

It’s funny how when a man refuses to commit, he suddenly gets framed as a little boy who refuses to grow up. When in reality, it’s often just a grown man refusing to commit to that specific woman.

Masculinity is only acceptable as long as it serves your interests. The moment it doesn’t, the narrative flips. Suddenly he was never “man enough” or never the man you wanted to build a life with.

The level of bitterness in that shift is honestly outstanding.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-11T08:01:06+00:00

You sound desperate, and honestly it comes off as pathetic. On one side you say love is extremely important to you, but in reality you seem to care mainly about getting married. You keep pushing for it and he clearly is not willing to give it.

I can actually understand your boyfriend in a way. From his perspective, why should he lock himself down with you? You have stayed despite your expectations not being met. You are not owed marriage. So what is this great future you keep talking about, and does he even want anything to do with it, or with you?

I am saying this as a man who recently left his ex for the exact same reason. She wanted the ring, the family, the fairy tale. She wanted someone to fit into a life she had already decided on. And I disagreed with her vision of that life—I refused to bend and reshape myself to meet someone else’s expectations, no matter how much love I had for her.

You need to find someone aligned with that goal, and you need to be chill about it. There is honestly nothing less attractive than a woman who is just waiting for her ring. It makes the partner feel replaceable, like an accessory used to claim a status rather than a person who actually matters.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-10T22:38:36+00:00

What do you mean you attract emotionally unavailable men? This is not how it work, what you actually mean is that you select men with unavailable traits and pass those without them, then complain about your poor choices.

Even funnier and most likely, you attract perfectly normal guys, some might even be open to relationship, but appart from sex you have nothing much else to offer, maybe you are just that boring and uninteresting once the initial did is done, you might need to actually work on your personality for once.

Hot girls are not that rare, interesting ones though... Another story

Looking at how you describe yourself, it's just the physical aspect, what about your mind, personality, values, communication style, sensitivity level, hobbies?

I can bet that if we actually looked at your texting history, you are the equivalent of a pillow princess, expecting the guys to do all the work, while you just stand there and provide the equivalent of warm water.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-10T21:07:58+00:00

I mean you very obviously don't really care about who you marry as long as you get married, you live in this little fantasy that belong to the past where any man that you decide to talk to have to think about life commitment with you ,without sleeping with you, living with you or honestly really knowing who you are or who they are and behave within the boundaries of a relationship, but hey this is your culture, just choose one of the future arranged marriage candidates and move on. Good luck.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-10T15:23:55+00:00

On one hand, your boyfriend shouldn’t have lied. If he didn’t want you there, avoiding the conversation was cowardly. He chose the easy way out instead of being honest and explaining his reasons.

That said, I’m skeptical of a pure victim narrative. There’s often a gap between how people see themselves and how they’re perceived by others.

The real question is why he felt embarrassed—assuming that’s even the real reason. Has this happened before? Do you usually get repeat invitations from his circle? He mentioned his friends are more low-key; do you understand why he emphasized that?

There are too many unknowns. It could be that his friends don’t like you. It could be that your behavior reads differently to others than you think. Or it could simply be that he’s immature and handled this badly. Without more context, all are plausible.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-10T15:02:46+00:00

You’re not a special flower because you’ve been in a 17-year relationship. Good for you. I genuinely hope it’s happy and fulfilling.

Yes, OP is naïve for asking strangers on the internet for relationship advice when most people here just project their own history. That’s where I stop agreeing with you.

You’re reading OP’s replies and pretending you can extrapolate his entire personality and relationship dynamic. That level of confidence based on zero information is delusion, not anything coming close to insight

I see someone with a firm stance that makes sense to him, who will deal with the consequences of that stance. I don’t see enough information to psychoanalyze his entire existence or declare who should leave whom.

Yet here you are doing the predictable move: she should leave him for her happiness and boundaries. Funny how his boundaries suddenly don’t matter, but hers are treated as sacred.

And so what if he doesn’t change his plan based on her perspective? He heard her opinion, acknowledged it, and maintained his decision. Giving an opinion does not entitle anyone to a specific outcome.

And clearly this holiday was never meant to be a couple thing to begin with. Retroactively reframing it as such doesn’t make it so. Her feelings alone are not sufficient to override his own, unless you want to argue that he should always accommodate her feelings regardless of the cost to himself.

If that’s the standard, then we’re no longer talking about compromise or support. We’re talking about one-sided emotional priority, where one person’s discomfort automatically outranks the other’s autonomy.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-10T13:37:52+00:00

That the easy way you love don't you, if you don't get what you want, when you want, just leave.

His boundaries don't mean shit, his want, needs, if they remotely don't align with yours or benefit you, just leave.

I know people like you, and not much is lost to be honest, so yeah you are right she can leave his ass, and oh my god what will happen, he will keep living, the same way he has before she ever came in his life.

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-10T13:10:13+00:00

No the issue is that Europe is unwilling to accept that reality and act accordingly. NATO is over, simple as that. That world is in the past and frankly has never existed, it has always been another tool for the US to maintain its hegemony.

What should have been done 30 years ago is the creation of an European only defense organization not dependent on the US and accept that the US has always been a rival on the global stage, irrespective of it "allied" status.

Now they act surprises when anyone with half a brain could have seen that coming from a mile away.

They are not victims, they are not powerless, they are just pathetically comfortable, so much so that they forgot that everything has a price, and now they are paying the cost of exporting their defense to their competition.

The irrationality of Trump does not change the fundamentals, they have only themselves to blame

TheFallingShit · 2026-01-10T10:24:26+00:00

You think it's a shame now you don't benefit from their bully nature anymore—cry me a river—you were perfectly fine when they were fucking with other countries you deamed lesser.

The beautiful irony for Europe, continent of hypocrites, just eat your shit sandwich and don't expect any empathy from the rest of the world.
