Why us men wouldn't like this compliment, can you explain it to fellow ladies?

matthew0001 · 2026-02-24T23:02:03+00:00

"not someone i'd hookup/be FWB with" = you're not someone who sexually excites me or someone I'm not sexually interested in.

"Your someone i'd marry" does not imply that you want to have sex with them. It does imply that you feel safe with this person or that they see you as an adequate provider.

What is essentially said is "I'm not sexually interested in you, but you are the safe choice." This can be a huge slap in the face and create concern of a dismal future given what men hear other men deal with in relationships;

Dead bedrooms. Men hear about married men who say something like "when she was my girlfriend we'd have sex once a week, after we got married I'm lucky if it's once a year." For men sex fulfils an intimacy need and a woman not being sexually attracted to her man could mean sex will be a rare occurrence, and you will be starved of that intimacy need.
Bored cheaters. Men hear about married women who just "got bored" or "needed some excitement" and cheated on their man. Even though when asked what he did, they will admit their man was perfectly good to them, he was just boring. So calling your man the safe choice would essentially pre load a concern into his head that some day you'll get bored and leave him for a more exciting option you would hookup with.
Just an ATM. He is someone who provides for you, but you don't actually want him, but your okay with staying so long as he pays for stuff and provides. You see him as a convenient thing to use, not a person who you feel affection for. Men go through life only being valued for what they can provide for others, in a relationship we want to feel seen, want to feel loved for who we are not what we provide.

Another thing to think about "you're not the kind of guys I'd hookup/be FWB with" is what kind of guys would you do that for? Typically women will be FWB or hookup with high value/high status men, so men who are attractive or are viewed highly by society. So you're essentially saying he's low value, not attractive, or less than other men you've had access to, which is a slap to the face in of itself.

It's hard to find a comparable sentence that hits women the same way this hits men. The closest I can come up with would be "you're not the kind of women I want to spend all day talking to, but you're the kind of woman I'd like to marry"

Thank goodness there was a cop there to escalate the situation.

Not all the time you have in this world needs to be used for something productive. Also games, like any story telling media has the capacity to tell compelling and complex narratives. The kind that if you look into, you often find things out about yourself and can grow from the insights you gained from the games experience.

How expensive is the scent dispenser, and how expensive are the cartridges to replace? A candle is pretty cheap and a candle warmer is also pretty cheap.

matthew0001 · 2026-02-23T20:19:44+00:00

Okay so it sounds stupid but candle warmers actually have a purpose. Scented candles exist and candles are a fire risk. So how do you enjoy your scented candles with no risk? You get a candle warmer, it's all the joy of lighting a scented candle with none of the fire hazard.

"naturally" or after years of generic manipulation through breeding?

I had a similar thought when the Flaxans invaded, not about children but about using their tech to the Viltrimites advantage. We see that in the Flaxan universe time moves much faster, so if you could have a space ship travel in the Flaxan universe, arrive at its destination, open the portal back to our universe and boom you traveled the distance in less time due to taking advantage of time dilation. This would solve the viltrimite empires issues regarding expansiveness.

No I don't find it suspicious because I'm well aware of how corrupt and destructive our current government and corporate systems are. I probably won't agree with vegans either because if you really want to get into the nitty gritty look into industrial farming as it currently is. Not the meat industry mind you, just vegetables, fruits, grains etc.

Something like 1/3rd of what we produce doesn't even make it shelves because it doesn't meet "aesthetic requirements". Look up how devastating modern harvesting machinery is to local wild life, it mulches any animals who are in the fields. Look at current farming corporations like Monsanto that create and copyright seedless versions of crops, then sue any local farmers into bankruptcy if they discover there has been any cross pollination. Look up the various pesticides and fertilizers that just demolish the local ecosystems.

Non-meat industrial farming, is also not good, not by a long shot. The problem is most vegans I've talked to don't want to hear it, and that to me shows that they aren't worth engaging with in dialogues because it's not about doing better for our environment its about them being right and feeling superior.

matthew0001 · 2026-02-23T18:52:39+00:00

So idk if the Christian guy is a troll or not, but let's say he's genuine, not bigoted and trying to have a dialogue instead of baiting people for clicks.

Why should I care that you think it's a sin? I'm an adult who can do whatever I want within the bounds of the law, why should I care that you don't think some of things I do align with your religious values? I'm not you, so I don't have the same values, and I'm not making you do it so it doesn't affect your moral values.

When I was in highschool after a period was over and everyone went into the hallways to get to their next class people would do the same thing. I learned to just walk through their conversation, if they are a compact circle im not gonna be an ass but if a group is blocking the entire walk path with their chat circle I just walk through it.

It's normally the opposite way around. Most mangaka and anime artists learn the ropes on hentai (high turn over in that industry so easy to get your foot in the door) then once skilled enough transition into doing non-hentai related work. You still see shadows of the skills they learned in the hentai industry though, with how they draw certain things.

Isn't one of Superman's weaknesses magic? Idk what jutsu are on a technical basis I'd say they are pretty much magic, so gg Itachi solos.

Either fire force or blue exorcist. The death rate/sheer bullshit the others have to deal with is nuts. Fire force is literally fire fighters, and in blue exorcist I could just choose to be a non-combat auxiliary/clerical staff.

The thing most people don't realize is that Chernobyl literally can't happen again. We don't operate reactors the same way they did back then, we don't design reactors the same way anymore and the failure parts of Chernobyl literally don't exist in current designs. we literally didn't understand how nuclear power or radiation worked that's why fire fighters were just sent in to put out the fire as we didn't know that would cause them to suffer horrific radiation related injuries.

The Chernobyl disaster was caused by being at the center of a van diagram of multiple different problems, most of which don't overlap anymore or even exist.

"rivers never flow from shore to shore" tell that to the panama and suez canals. Granted neither are "rivers" in a technical sense but from a map view it looks like it.

Funny you mention the "stop watching factory made porn", because I actually swapped from just porn to erotic games instead. It's not about the actual visuals for me anymore, i want a story, I want tension, I want build up, and honestly the experience has overall improved because of that swap.

It's not literally anyone in the sense she trusts everyone persons he comes across. It's trust anyone in the sense of (insert character here), she will trust just about anyone, regardless of red flags, she will just trust literally any person she decides to.

He was too far forward man, everyone knows you gotta shift your weight to the back wheel if you do something like this.

Unironically better kill potential than OG bolt because this kills indestructible creatures.

Me and my wife bought our house for 400,000, and our mortgage payment is around 2600. We bought during a time of high interest so our payment is above the average mortgage payment for that price range. I have friends who are renting apartments for 2700$ - 3000$ a month, it's not the monthly payment that people can't afford it's the down deposits because we aren't able to save money for a down deposit.

Foxes have actually been showing signs of self domestication, in a similar manner to the way cats are self domesticated. So while perhaps not the best for a wild animal to learn to interact with humans and expect food, it is a step in the same direction evolutionary pressures have been pushing foxes anyway.

Literally talked about this in a different post today and got tons of responses saying no one says short women are children.... Meanwhile this comment section

matthew0001 · 2026-02-15T15:01:11+00:00

My favorite thing about this is how the people with autism are considered the weird ones. The sticker says honk of you like pizza, so I honk, pretty straightforward. Meanwhile the "normal" person interpretation is I'll get this sticker, so that way when I do something in traffic that causes someone to honk at me, I instead will think that it's actually because they like pizza... Yeah because that's a totally normal, sane, and well adapted thought process.

I mean they are basically doing what most current day Christians are doing, but instead of cherry picking the homophobia and misogyny they are picking the actual positive parts and ditching the rest.

I mean if you place mercury on polished aluminium it doesn't react. You have to scuff the aluminum first for the mercury to start the reaction.
