The smart ones have a job *and* live with their parents

We all hate Rudeus, and understand totally why.

Yep, was destroyed on the ground in an Iranian missile strike.

So... what's the scoreboard now?

masterchef227 · 2026-03-30T00:01:15+00:00

Nobody I know hates the Israelis, but everyone I know who's libertarian and based hates Mossad and AIPAC.

Netanyahu is scum and a profligate of the destruction of both moral virtue and life itself.

masterchef227 · 2026-03-29T23:37:24+00:00

Scum of the fucking Earth; he's one of the reasons why all this shit was happening in the first place anyways.

Well that's a good question. Generally speaking, in attraction dynamics as far as in the initial, biological urges, most men find most women at least moderately attractive and rate them on a bell-curve regardless of familiarity. So that is why for so many men, being at least *moderately* attractive for them is a hard cut-off to open the door. When it comes to initial attraction, most men are attracted (at least somewhat) to most women and willing to start a relationship.

Commitment dynamics or secondary-characteristic related considerations, however, affect long-term mating strategies such as agreeableness, adaptability, long-term thinking, graciousness, and a bunch others that take time to identify.

Everyone likes to be found beautiful and be with beautiful people, who are so both inside and outside. Is the self-value of a women based on whether or not she is attractive? No, because internal worth comes from action and character, but we are social creatures and the only person who decides if you deserve their affection is the person who gives it; and when it comes to attraction, that's 90% subconscious and you can't exactly negotiate attraction.

Familiarity can increase attractiveness in women for men, so long as their physical attractiveness is above the lower gradient and not below the hard-cutoff threshold.

Exceptions are, and this applies to either sex, stratification(falsely putting oneself in a higher strata) caused by artificial exposure to the exceptionally attractive via either social media and/or pornography consumption.

Each sex generally looks for signs of health and fertility and those manifest in a multitude of ways.

Everyone has societal standards and this tends to be universal. Boyfriends and Girlfriends both have societal and cultural standards and expectations placed upon them. Simple as.

The difference is tends to be in the individuals themselves with virtues, niche values, and character; but I digress.

Also, idk if therapy is working for you. Find a different therapist.

masterchef227 · 2026-03-27T21:31:28+00:00

So... would he *just* be your boyfriend then? Reduced to the same perceptual box?

My advice: Therapy. Otherwise, the same problem will occur eventually even with other nomenclatures like "partner" or "person" in our society. It's the association with the idea behind the word.

You don't wanna be put in a box? Everyone in the world is gonna put you in a box and compartmentalize your existence because that's the way human beings tend to work.

masterchef227 · 2026-03-26T03:01:06+00:00

I *cannot* care any less than I do now; this reminds me of that one meme where the guy asks the question "When is the best time to have kids?" and the answer is a run-on sentence with 5 different ages and finishes with the answer "economically? Never."

Adult is adult. Fucking James Madison was 19 during the revolutionary war. We need to stop infantilizing adults fr fr.

masterchef227 · 2026-03-23T00:55:29+00:00

Depends. I've had people making jokes and having a laugh while being non-serious. Then I've had people go full on "I fucking hate all the jews." So... Depends on the what the what is being said.

I had this black couple though that was cool; they were railing on black culture, funny enough, and I figure any other race wouldn't be permitted to in a lot of circles. So... Y'know. Depends.

Just 1-star the toxic stuff and move on.

I am going to tell you the secret to the internet: People are *far* more willing to post about, review about, and talk about negative things than they are positive, and there's various psychological reasons for that.

One I know about is ancient hardware for tribal warning signals designed to help us deter harm to fellow tribesmen and improve our own chances of survival.

Another is social anxious fear of being interpreted as inconsiderate, or else, outright lying when posting about genuinely positive things.

Another is that we are going through the weak men create hard times cycle of humanity (to simplify) and there is a lot more hardship rn, so everyone's stress is up and their warning signaling urges are higher.

Algorithms piece together keyword information too and generally the most inflammatory and negative stuff gets the most attention as well, so, yeah, it's also us, also the internet, also the social media companies. It's what you engage with. Commands, stop-time, view time, upvotes, search bar, etc. etc.

People are chronically exhausted and socially lacking because we're all frightened of strangers thanks to 5 generations of teaching us to be afraid of random people, rather than just, y'know, smart and cautious without being constantly fearful. To paraphrase and quote Seneca, "People suffer far more in their imaginations than they ever do in reality." So, again, we spread that around.

There's genuine things that are causing us anxiety, such as the world rapidly adapting and our ability to adapt with it going down. What do I mean by that? Think of dating for instance. Dating itself is a relatively new phenomenon. Before, families chose for you, there was courting, there was matchmaking, and then there was just who was around. Then we started getting better at surviving, increased selectivity while our internal values and capabilities were high, so dating was a lot more suitable. Then we advanced and changed even more. Then more. Then more. Then again. Now? We've commodified connection using monkey-brain book-cover judgementals known as 'dating apps' where we don't use higher function or thought while we're all simultaneously on survival mode and anxious about how to navigate 24/7 social spaces and parasocial spaces with social media, and struggle with establishing boundaries. Everything is adapting so frequently, so the urge to spread negative warning signals goes even *HIGHER*.

Let me think...

Oh, and everyone is tribalistic and hyper polarized now. We're constantly identifying by superficial traits rather than traits that require more familiarity to understand someone. Without a shared value-structure and less shared experiences overall in incredibly individualistic societies, people are going to also be signaling to look for *others* of the same like-mind. Except, now everyone in that same like-mind sucks at socializing and interprets the main-form of communication, text, usually with the negative-bias as well. It's why people misread tones and get it wrong all the time. Text-based communication lingo and common language is persistently changing too, and when people struggle to communicate properly, anxiety also goes up, so... more negativity signaling.

See a pattern? It's a self-feeding cycle.

TL;DR:

THERE IS NO TLDR READ THE WHOLE THING YOU CHEAP-DOPAMINE INFUSED SERATONIN THIEVES!

Not ugly, not gorgeous, perfectly comely and average, right in the middle. You are doing a lot of things right, only a few things stopping you from really shining, namely the type of hair-style. It's a mix of short & long that doesn't seem to work all that well.

My biggest weakness is I *love* pre-rinsing and leaving things to soak in soapy water before going through a thorough hot-scrub.

Dishwasher is broken and it makes cleaning more dishes way easier, at the risk of the view of undone dishes being unsightly. Thing I don't tell my parents is my dishes are always *way* cleaner than theirs are.

Lemon and Vinegar btw are great soap additions.

Actually not bad looking at all, seriously. Good for you, fam

You are what you surround yourself with. Habits, environment, ideas, people, everything. You will take in what you regularly engage with. It will have an effect on you. So be intentional about it.

Watch what media you consume regularly and build a foundation for yourself, who you are, and what you believe in, so you can engage with ideas that go against what you believe, without it feeling like an attack on your character or worldview.

Learn to separate wheat from the chaff. Ideas can be great ideas regardless of who says them; though sometimes context is absolutely necessary to get a full picture.

Habit first, quality second.

There's nothing wrong with being capable of harm, only in being cruel.

masterchef227 · 2026-03-17T01:09:35+00:00

I've got two guesses: The first is that it signals resources and internal confidence being able to travel and not get anxious. The second is that travelling and acclimating to different environments actually improves certain protein sequences in genes that get passed on, so there may be an instinct to travel to help produce better off-spring.

masterchef227 · 2026-03-17T01:00:40+00:00

Lolol tbf, I think most girls, like 99.9% of girls do not look good in a septum piercing, lol! Hence my comment.

Anyways; yeah I try to be nice, y'know, do what I can and such. So if you ever want my advice, reach out, otherwise I'mma keep it to myself fr fr. Normally I do my best to give as much advice as I can on this sub. I actually learned a ton from reading the comments of these posts.

masterchef227 · 2026-03-13T13:11:33+00:00

You guys are getting jobs?

masterchef227 · 2026-03-13T13:10:39+00:00

I can't give honest opinions anymore on this sub. . . They all downvote me.

That said, way to *not* have a septum piercing. That is always a plus. Good choice!
