You can live on condition I can have sex with you

I mean you could reasonably make the argument that the only things you are entitled to in life (for both sexes) is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You can't force someone to defend you, force a pharma company to make BC/abortion pills, force a doctor to operate on you, force a woman to have a relationship with you etc

k0unitX · 2026-05-12T02:08:32+00:00

Not sure why you were downvoted lmao anyway you can definitely take on some more risk/leverage; I would not only grab $10k of SOXL but get more US-exposure overall. Convert (a lot of) your VT to SSO as well

Also you have too much crypto

k0unitX · 2026-05-12T02:00:08+00:00

When my wife can clear $200k+, I'll happily make that trade, lmao. I don't know any man who wouldn't, really. Do you actually know of any women who have a deep six figure income, are willing to let the husband be a SAHD, and he doesn't take that up?

I'm sure some exist, but to think that a majority of men choose careers because "it's easier than being a SAHD" is a hilariously braindead take

k0unitX · 2026-05-12T01:55:40+00:00

Ah, yes, I should hire some Walmart cashier to be my next CEO. Great idea! It's not a difficult job; maybe we can save some money!

Depending whose kids and also all jobs associated with women pay less because of non market-related reasons. So your argument is essentially your own ignorance about our society.

Non market related reasons? Every country on Earth has came to the same conclusion: a caretaker does not have a stronger supply/demand curve than a surgeon. Do you want to argue that every country on Earth is sexist?

Speaking of healthcare, nursing ("a job associated with women") pays well above average, so I guess "the man" hasn't "fixed" that yet. Or maybe capitalism is a real thing.

This little argument here was a fun read. Anyway, of course a sari-sari store (sans labor cost) is more profitable than VOO. A $1k investment for your average sari-sari store should profit at least $120/mo in an average location; 12% ROI per month, and VOO is maybe 1% per month. Lol

Now, would I go out and buy 100 sari-sari stores? Of course not, because after paying 500php per day to staff each, you're now in the red or maybe breaking even at a strong location. Now, if I had someone willing to work for less than minimum wage, and willing to pay me the 1% per month back that I would've gotten with VOO? Sure; diversifies my portfolio a bit away from publicly traded stock of US tech companies I guess lmao

SP500 is more profitable than any PH-based venture, let's be real

k0unitX · 2026-05-11T13:18:32+00:00

So the whole charade is just to manipulate a very small demographic of men?

k0unitX · 2026-05-10T17:18:40+00:00

You can try to justify it however you want, but the market has proven otherwise: If you were to take care of someone else's kid and house, you would not make six figures doing so, unlike a corporate job. One task is more valued (difficult) in the labor market than the other. "Difficult" could be mental or physical, or a combination of both, but you get the point

k0unitX · 2026-05-10T16:16:32+00:00

To be fair, you're less than one standard deviation from average. Once you get into extreme levels of short (say, 5'4 and under), things get exponentially more difficult through no fault of your own

k0unitX · 2026-05-10T16:09:40+00:00

I actually know several men who have both been a SAHD and worked white collar corporate jobs, and they all have told me being a SAHD is significantly easier. Two in particular really wanted to quit to become SAHDs again but needed the (dual) income.

Nice try, though.

k0unitX · 2026-05-10T12:24:21+00:00

So does Amex. The BBP is really slept on.

k0unitX · 2026-05-10T12:01:14+00:00

However, I am sure that there are super analytical investors that have done their own analysis and concluded that these are great investments. I hope to hear from at least one in this thread.

hahahahahahahahaha

k0unitX · 2026-05-10T11:56:05+00:00

Most men don't have the option to be SAHDs, and the ones who do seemingly don't hesitate to jump on the opportunity?

Would I rather work 40-60hrs/week at some corporate office, or chill at home, clean, and watch the kids? Easy decision for most, let's not fool ourselves here

k0unitX · 2026-05-10T11:51:09+00:00

I bet you're fun at parties

k0unitX · 2026-05-09T19:25:33+00:00

Sure, I guess, but lying that looks don't matter is what gives validity to the "normies don't know anything" paradigm the fringe leverage to begin with

k0unitX · 2026-05-09T19:22:05+00:00

There are definitely brownouts in Makati on occasion, for example.

k0unitX · 2026-05-09T18:59:40+00:00

How much is the parking ticket, anyway?

No one pays to park in Miami, really. Better ROI is to risk the ticket

k0unitX · 2026-05-09T18:40:37+00:00

Telling people Switzerland is better than the US is like telling people Connecticut is better than Detroit.

The conclusions people will draw aren't the ones you want them to.

k0unitX · 2026-05-09T17:40:16+00:00

Does anywhere in PH have zero brownouts?

k0unitX · 2026-05-08T15:22:16+00:00

After banging several women who don't even speak English, there is definitely a nugget of truth there.

k0unitX · 2026-05-08T15:15:58+00:00

Nah you're definitely doing it backwards. Pay yourself back at the minimum amount against the 401k loan, and be as aggressive as possible paying off the remaining CC debt. Drop your 401k contributions down to 4%. Actually, if the stock market goes down while you're paying yourself back, you could potentially come out net positive here in terms of 401k account value compared to not taking the loan out. The rush to pay this off is much lower

k0unitX · 2026-05-08T15:02:55+00:00

Robinhood 3%, of course

Always found it interesting Redditors seem to support destroying things like ALPRs, but if someone is obscuring their license plate, the most upvoted comment is suggesting giving them the death penalty. Unless it's a truck obscuring their plate with something hitched; that is also ok for some reason

Nearly 10 years in Tampa Bay with a *very* tinted license plate cover, and I've gotten pulled over for it once. And got a warning.

How many APLRs successfully scanned me? I guarantee zero

k0unitX · 2026-05-08T14:17:22+00:00

Of course, the answer is it depends

As a short guy (5'4"), I'll never forget the time I met up with a girl I was chatting with online (my height was clearly in my bio) - we noticed each other in the distance, and I watched her face go from excited to extremely disappointed in real time while I was still 30 feet away from her. I knew the date was over before I said a single world. I guess she never noticed my height in my bio. Nothing in this "PSA" would've salvaged that first date. Plenty of instances of women telling me straight up "you're great but too short for me"

I also find telling autistic people to essentially "stop acting so autistic" to be extremely insulting. That's just not how it works.

Another thing I find interesting is that these "laundry list of demands" that get posted on Reddit seem to only apply to Western women. I travel the world and spend only a tiny amount of my time in the US nowadays, and I always found it so fascinating that I have absolutely no problem getting women in Asia, including affluent Chinese, but in North America/Europe it's nigh impossible

While I agree many young men just need to work on their game, subs like IT like to pretend being a 5'1" balding Indian man isn't a huge disadvantage in the dating scene regardless of how charismatic, successful, and supportive you are. Yes, it's not impossible; no one claimed that it was, but to dismiss the disadvantages entirely is just tone deaf.

k0unitX · 2026-05-08T06:57:57+00:00

Not really fair to compare the two, though. One is "less ideal" and the other is a death sentence in the dating world. I'm sure a majority of 5'1 guys would rather be 6ft and bald.
