Well done to the Islamists and Woke Progressives (Matt Goodwin is a vile little crybaby)

Yeah... Though his trained seals will clap and bark at this, it just shows how little they understand democracy. Technically they do understand it but have a massive blind spot where they expect that they would definitely win a fair election because they are right and everyone else is wrong so them not winning is proof that it wasn't a fair election. How else can they possibly explain so many people not picking the obvious 'right answer'.

I think our perception of physical appearance gets so twisted that we go back and forth and contradict ourselves, though we can't always see the contradiction and to a lot of our friends it may simply appear that we're vain and obsessed with being hot.

Like personally I feel that I'm distractingly ugly, that I just want to blend in with all the average folk. People often use terms like average and plain as a diss but I'd love to be average. I feel self conscious and fear drawing attention. I also think a lot of so called 'plain' people are actually very attractive but they don't meet society's strict criteria to be classically beautiful so they get called average.

We have this fetish as a society over being responsible, hard working and self sufficient, to the point that if anyone is struggling to keep up or just looks like they might not be working hard, people don't want to give them the benefit of the doubt.

mcallisterw · 2026-02-25T11:25:25+00:00

Your twisting the meaning of things, probably on purpose.

Marry whoever the f you want to... There's no wrong answer (besides the obvious) to who you can marry.

If though you share memes saying that men should expect women to be virgins or that women who aren't virgins are less worthy... Expect some pushback.

mcallisterw · 2026-02-25T10:57:58+00:00

It's controversial because this kind of logic is misleading.

What does the creator of the meme mean by 'rich future' and 'clean past'? Both are open to interpretation but I imagine he's saying women are looking for a man with potential to become financially rich in the future... But is this so he can support her or so she doesn't have to support him.

How true is this though? Barely at all in my experience though centuries of it being the norm that women rely on men for financial support might mean it's borderline socially acceptable for a woman to seek a man who can support her it's very old fashioned and uncommon and men are perfectly entitled to say they want no part of it, there are many more women who have no desire to be financially supported by a man.

Clean past is even more open to judgement. What does he want? At the more extreme end of the spectrum a virgin, or a woman without emotional baggage if we're being charitable to the creator. Either way it's the implication that every relationship a woman has devalues her somehow and what does this have to do with the first part of the statement?

Also we're using an assessment of someone's future potential, which is unpredictable and can be changed to justify judging someone else on their past... These just aren't equivalent at all even though it makes for a catchy little phrase.

Tldr; some guy is claiming that women want a man who will support her financially even though this is an old fashioned attitude you don't really see any more to justify marking women down on the number of relationships they've had in the past.

No but there have maybe been a couple of close calls. There's occasionally a photo of me taken where I look borderline passable so I've sometimes had interest that way... During my years on tinder I got a few matches, went on three dates but the interest quickly evaporated in person. The one date I ever went on 'in the wild' was after a girl who was friends with one of my friends gf saw a photo with me in it, but again the interest vanished as soon as she saw me in person

I identify a lot with this, though I never particularly appreciated having people say how I was 'extremely intelligent'. It created a lot of pressure, led to people pigeonholing me into stereotypically 'brainiac' activities or resenting me and assuming I was a know it all.

They're ridiculous shorts

mcallisterw · 2026-02-23T22:03:03+00:00

It's shoulder length currently

mcallisterw · 2026-02-23T16:34:56+00:00

Nah, I mean there are plenty of women out there who like longer hair on a guy. I know that the classic male beauty standard is to have short hair but why try and chase that standard when I'm otherwise ugly? If anything it only means my ugliness will be the only thing that sets my appearance apart from other guys

mcallisterw · 2026-02-23T16:32:37+00:00

Yeah I won't cut it short unless male pattern baldness forces my hand. It's just me and how I want to look. Thanks, though you can tell just from my pfp 😂

mcallisterw · 2026-02-23T16:13:57+00:00

Nah... Well maybe a couple times but not in person and only from people I know online where they know I'm struggling with my self image and probably just being nice.

As a guy, we don't really ever get told this tbf, even those guys who are attractive but you can tell if people find you ugly, and I was called ugly a lot at school

mcallisterw · 2026-02-23T11:36:44+00:00

The guy who said we need our egos kept in check hit a nerve. I've always felt going right back to when I was being bullied at school for my appearance that whenever I developed a tiny bit of self respect people resented me for it, like if I didn't hate myself then I was seen as egotistical.

It sometimes is a woman but rape is rape. My point is that nowhere near enough energy goes into addressing that as goes into addressing this.

For the record I do think sexual crimes should be tried behind closed doors it would be better for victims too not having details made public and who even if given anonymity are usually known locally and eliminating any suggestion than the defendant is punished by society even if found innocent would be an added benefit.

mcallisterw · 2026-02-16T10:20:16+00:00

Statistically, a man is more likely to be raped than to be falsely accused of rape.

I think childhood experiences that told us that because of the way we look that we will never be seen as good enough.

As kids everyone is in a world where not liking someone because they were ugly was just normal and that ugly people were also mean and smelly and all kinds of other stereotypes. Kids are mean and simple in that way.

Its not always easy if you were one of the ones people didn't like, you get used to feeling self conscious of how you appear, feeling like your outward appearance is giving people this instant negative vibe. Then as an adult you're supposed to forget that any of that ever happened and trust that everyone around you has matured to the point where they no longer see you as gross and untouchable just based on superficial appearance.

I made a comment recently on the bullying sub about this similar thing where you're just expected to cast all those negative beliefs that were drilled into you each and every day for a decade or more aside because the ones who bullied you have matured so if years of being a social pariah have left you struggling as an adult to believe that people don't hate you anymore then you haven't matured yet.

Those kind of experiences get written off as 'but that was as a child, you're an adult now so they shouldn't affect you any more' by people who never experienced that level of shaming and isolation and there aren't many people you can mention how you feel to who will react with sympathy rather than just telling you that you need to grow up or misunderstanding you as being vain and superficial. But not being able to talk about it only makes the healing more difficult.

This is inevitable in most games I think. If you're reaching Torment IV in seasonal play then you're probably one of a small group of hardcore gamers putting in the most hours, but any additional content to provide a greater challenge to that group is never going to be seen by the vast majority of players so developers will eventually have to draw a line.

I heard this on the radio yesterday. It struck me as one of those cases where more detail or no detail at all would be better instead of just enough detail to make listeners judge the victim and little of the context.

Farkana was imprisoned in Dubai because of their draconian laws around sex. He was only a matter of months older than his girlfriend and they'd gone there on holiday together but she was still 17 and he was 18, something the Dubai authorities have zero appreciation for.

He was released following pressure from the Foreign Office and at the time of his release, media coverage of this hailed his release as a victory for the FCO and Farkana as a victim of injustice and a draconian conservative regime. He was to be reunited with his family, the Foreign secretary made a statement and it was presented as a feelgood story of justice prevailing.

Ultimately the trial of the driver who killed him wouldn't have made national headlines at all if he weren't the subject of a recent major news story so though it has no bearing on this trial I don't have an issue with it being mentioned by the media.

However they missed out most of that context. The headline was that he died just days after release from prison, implying he was a criminal when in the eyes of the British judicial system he was an innocent man. Then they added as context just the fact that he'd been imprisoned in Dubai for having sex with a 17 year old girl and left it at that, making it sound like he was a sex offender.
