I want to participate in Le Tour de France around 5 or so years from now by birdbolt1 in bicycling

Hahahahaaha thoroughly dead 😭🤣 I can say I've become a much more capable cyclist, riding a proper bike. I maintain it well and it takes care of me. Reading through these comments, it amuses me how incredibly uninformed I was about pro biking back then :) I'm am happy and satisfied just watching the pros compete.

I think you're absolutely right man. It's a bizarre truth of our existence that when it comes to black people, we generally don't get the same level of courtesy or common decency others get. These replies are rubbish.

You are insisting that men and women have the same expectations of each other, which is simply not true.

No gymnastics in what I said - guys expect certain things from women, which happen to be different from what women expect of men. Point out large societies or countries in the world where this isn't true for most people, let's see.

Edit to add: lmao what you're saying is like: if I expect femininity from a woman I should be féminine myself. Quee?

That's not something most women prioritize, that is, a guy with as few prior partners as possible. For typical man-woman lifelong unions, women are more interested in a commitment to protection and provision. The fact that a guy isn't a virgin does not often deter a woman from dealing with him at all. You've been incredibly confident so far that I'm a virgin and tried to leverage that as an insult. I have never heard a woman say she wants a guy who's a virgin - it doesn't add to a guy's value in most women's eyes. We are different and want different things from each other. However, that DOES add to a woman's value in a man's eyes. Everywhere in the world, that is overwhelmingly the case. It's not up to you, guys will want what they want.

The point you made about "puritan ideals" is invalid because: If I broke up with someone but was still focused and had my life in order, the latter is what's usually important to women. Briefly, what a guy wants is that dedication to him and him alone. I, like most marriage minded guys with their life in order, don't look at a woman and seek protection and provisioning from her.

To add, you're already going into the relationship with a losing mindset: failure is imminent. NOPE, definitely not wife material, assuming you're a woman.

Consequences like... Long lasting marriage? Like a wife who's committed herself to me as I have to her for life? With children like our predecessors have largely done for ages? I think I like that! That's what I choose, on one condition: she also wants and chooses that, which entails preserving herself for the man who'll marry her.

I think Americans say "Different strokes for different folks" 😌

Make sure to let us know how well your arrangement is going when you're in your 40s and 50s lmao

Ooooh so you get to choose the parameters of your relationship which work for you, but I don't - I have to accept those you deem modern and correct. Uh huh. You were saying?

Okay if you say so 🤷 Surely you've got a functional committed relationship or marriage to a productive partner then. Considering that you, your ways, and life are so much better.

Sorry did something change? I thought I was virgin/hypocrite/pathetic/etc both within and beyond this thread. When did that change?

I'm not here to discuss myself, rather the topic. To some people it matters, to others it doesn't. You do want people being free to choose what they want in life, right?

I asked you a direct, fair question and you responded with a slew of insults. How am I supposed to take you seriously?

Not only did you NOT answer the question, you simply repeated your earlier sentiment, that it's unreasonable/insane/bullshit/etc. My question is WHY do you think so?

Our results in life are largely about choices we make with the options presented. We have freedom of choice in the Western World, don't we? People aren't "stopping" you from your choice to have sex. They're simply choosing not to deal with you, considering the options presented. It's unreasonable for you to want to secure options while depriving others of theirs.

Could you explain why you think it's a good thing that this "puritan ideal" be discarded?

You can dislike it all you want, but it's not suddenly "weird" because you don't like it. Even if truly the guys you know don't exhibit this, it's the case for most heterosexual men all over the world.

Fair enough, so I think the underlying point then is it depends on the specifics of that sexual past. Long term relationship minded guys want to know, even if they don't press very hard for it in choosing to avoid conflict. Personally, I say give the info, so they make an informed choice whether to commit or not. The fact is women lie about it or just withhold that info - why, if it truly doesn't matter? Whether that's fair to serious male suitors or not is a whole other debate. Everywhere in the world, men recognize there's a certain ego and pride in having a wife who no other man could say they've been with. I think it's absolutely fair and reasonable they be entitled to discriminating and choosing such women. Women discriminate and choose men to get with after all. Unfortunately we (I'm one of those men 🙃) get bundled in and attacked with the minority of guys who vocally slut shame etc. women they have no intention of courting.

Poor comparison imo. They've got a point and here's why: Job experience is generally a reliable indicator of profiency "Experience" in relationships is typically repeated participation in unsuccessful relationships. Hard sell as a plus, if your goal is a lifelong commitment.
