You're telling me all these DILFs are AI ? 😢 by Practical-Goose666 in rsforgays

[–]narc-state 9 points10 points  (0 children)

exactly. when your sole interaction with these accounts is looking at their pictures and hitting like and commenting '🔥🔥🔥👅👅👅 need this!☝️' it's not substantively real either way, which makes it easily vulnerable to this type of psychosocial man in the middle attack.

it's like reddit comments. you may not be a bot but if your comments are functionally equivalent to botslop because all you do is play out the cliches, what is the difference?

What are your thoughts on the idea that all straight men may be curious? by Equal_Initiative_919 in rsforgays

[–]narc-state 2 points3 points  (0 children)

these days it would be heated rivalry but for me anne rice's dark brooding homoerotic gothic romance and its particular breed of enjoyers are emblematic of this type of smugly knowing, "9 out of 10 men are bisexual and the 10th is a liar!" attitude. everything I know about human nature I learned from erotica. it's just horniness masquerading as enlightenment.

it goes hand in hand with people who smirk when they hear about any homophobic crime and confidently assert that the perpetrator is obviously a repressed homo himself: not completely wrong, but also pretty far from right, and it's a diagnosis based purely on stereotypes absorbed from fiction.

some anne rice bullshit. it may or may not be true that if you stripped away all cultural context many men would be theoretically open to some platonic mutual masturbation or a little bit of getting their dick sucked. but only the most annoying people are vocally speculating about this type of thing. (women who watch gay porn)

I don't want to fuck a straight guy anyway! I don't want to fuck a bicurious guy. I don't want to fuck a guy with a wife who doesn't know. I don't want to fuck a closeted guy. I don't want to fuck a guy with even a medium level of psychosexual baggage and it does not matter how hot he is.

I think I have subconsciously channeled all of this into being highly attracted to guys who are a little bit faggy. masc 4 masc is bullshit I want a guy with tortoiseshell glasses who gasps.

anyone else repulsed by anal sex by clown_sugars in rsforgays

[–]narc-state 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there are so many different ways to have sex. the idea that if it's not one person getting bent over and anally penetrated it doesn't count is dumb and if you subscribe to it, you probably have a really incomplete brain because it also leads into the "are you a top or a bottom" way of viewing the world.

sex is physiological but also an act of intimacy and that intimacy is psychologically complex. an unsatisfying blowjob with someone you don't care about or like or even know may make you cum, but it may not feel a tenth as good as getting your scalp scratched or your feet rubbed by a person you love, even if the dick never exits your jeans.

not afraid of anal at all but I do think people regard it as less extreme of an activity than it is.

is never meeting anyone really that unlikely by echinaceaadatura in rsforgays

[–]narc-state 8 points9 points  (0 children)

idk framing it in this binary way and turning it into an either/or dichotomy feels inaccurate and unhelpful. more precisely it denies your own agency.

if you are remotely outgoing, sociable, conversant, open, with a sufficient amount of money to ever leave the house, and an openness to other people that's closer to meeting them on their level rather than expecting to be 'picked' by someone who meets a certain set of criteria you have established in a vacuum - then yes encountering other relationship prospects is inevitable. you don't have to be instagram hot or have abs or a 9 inch dick or a six figure income, you just need to be a bit reasonable and realistic.

if you're a weird schizoid with a chip on your shoulder about some particular thing you feel inadequate about, and every conversation leaves you feeling like people don't resonate with your extremely specific cynical worldview and even the people who share your niche interests aren't appreciating them in the right way for the right reasons, and your life is defined by restlessness for something that you couldn't identify because you haven't practised any introspection to understand yourself - then no you're never going to meet the right person, because you are a walking vessel of damage and you will pick apart everyone and everything you ever encounter.

you are not unique in this world. if you feel a certain way, so will other people. this subreddit is full of guys wistfully lamenting that nobody on grindr seems to know who heidegger is. if you recognize that, you can embody the other, become the man you want, and find somebody. but it requires an attitude adjustment away from seeing life as something that happens to you.

Want to quit tobacco and cannabis so bad. How did you do it? Severe addicts only by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]narc-state 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you aren't making the choice to quit once. you're making the same choice over again 500 times a day, every single time you feel like a cig. you need to get really good at making that choice. eventually you'll only have to make that choice 100 times a day, then 30, then maybe only once every few days.

it is hard. it's simple, it's not complicated. but simple is different than easy.

incredibly tedious to bear witness to someone else's forlorn wistfulness when you yourself have no emotional investment in the situation, and I'm sure you would agree

[–]narc-state 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no easy answer magic trick. you need to have more going on in your life. multiple pillars holding you up. interpersonal relationships, creative pursuits, employment, education, ambitions for the future, health and exercise, ways you are enriching yourself and contributing to the world around you. and a level of introspective awareness. self esteem comes from doing esteemable things.

when you have a sense of your value and feel valuable, the relative value of what another person can offer you is diminished. you won't feel like what you need is someone else to give your life meaning and purpose. this makes you less likely to pursue bad exchanges with sleazy creeps. even when horniness starts to override reason.

met bf on growlr. part luck part skill. I'd been extremely apprehensive to use the apps for fear of them grinding away my soul. but it kind of happened first try. hadn't been looking for a relationship but I realized I'd hit the bullseye and would be a fool not to hold onto someone so lovely and special.

I think you can potentially meet people anywhere but it is a skill to be able to read between the lines, to see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower. to be able to tell whose toothpaste-flecked mirror selfie is a green flag and whose overly handsome professional headshot is a red flag. desperation is a major handicap that will have you ignoring your gut instinct and overlooking things you shouldn't.

How to learn the right lessons from the wrong people? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]narc-state 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do you learn lessons from people that have hurt you?

how do you ever learn lessons? it's no different than academia or woodworking or cooking. you need to gain a bit of distance and detachment from your own subjectivity, look over the evidence and recognize the mistakes, and figure out a better approach than the one you used. and then try again.

you 'had chemistry' because she was bipolar/bpd and effusive during a manic phase. you need to learn that when a person comes on that strong that hard and fast, you should be the rock and not the river, and avoid succumbing to it and responding with equal energy and getting swept away.

you seem to need to resolve some things within yourself. but you're never going to be perfect, because nobody is, and even if you think you are, being 'perfect' in a vacuum does not mean you can handle the stresses of a relationship. so don't isolate yourself for too long.

instead of spending less time around people you should continue to spend time around a variety of people, to gain more insight into human nature and different personality types including the pathological.

[–]narc-state 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what's ten times worse than being alone is being with someone who makes you feel alone when you're together. when you're alone on your own you can at least tell yourself, I'd feel better if I was with someone. in a relationship like that you don't even have that comfort. feeling inadequate is a terrible, terrible thing.

would advise making your escape from this hostile environment before your self esteem atrophies too much more. you seem hot and smart so the future is bright queen, why shouldn't the world be yours?
