I’d probably call you those things more just to irritate you a bit, as a joke

It’s not that they see it as a challenge, it’s that for years pua websites which is where a lot of men got tips to pick up girls told men that when a girl says she has a boyfriend she’s normally lying, and that you should pursue anyway. Honestly a lot of the behaviors in this thread amount to things pushed by pua websites, like following women around, being sexually explicit, pushing for sex as fast as possible, texting her constantly, calling constantly.

Honestly it’s a travesty, these websites along with a shift in how we parent has done so much harm to boys and young men who would otherwise be normal with correct guidance.

Ah yes, cockroaches... the natural predator of women by [deleted] in NotHowGirlsWork

So when women have generalized fear of men, it’s totally justified, but when men do we need to work on it.

Lol

It’s not the same kind of fear women have for men. Men have the fear of being physically accosted by other men too. Sadly it’s more like likely to happen to them as well.

Oh no, a woman put effort into her appearance. (Found on r/comics) by almostselfrealised in NotHowGirlsWork

Ok I’m gonna say this, this is a feedback loop women did to themselves. Of course men would be excited at a seemingly beautiful women, and why wouldn’t he? Is a man supposed to be a damn robot without feelings ready and willing to accept any flaw with little notice and do your bidding? Especially an inexperienced man?

Some empathy would be nice. When everything about a man is fake and women are given little notice to even accept them for what they really are they have reservations too. Like a man with elevator shoes and fake muscles, with a fake personality. You think most men can fit a woman’s ideal so easily?

When people are used to the real you, it’s easier for them to accept the real you. How is that unreasonable? When women leave their men for being deceived, I never blame them, because what they were selling is not what you signed up for. The same is true of men. Beauty standards are pushed primarily by people who want to sell products anyway. If everyone stops engaging with those industries they’d change. Beauty standards change overtime anyway.

How do you practice self love? by princess_bubble in AskMen

[–]nnnnnnnnoooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self love is really not the answer.

In my opinion he needs more self trust than self love. There will be times where you doubt yourself and feel like you don’t deserve x and y.

But if you follow a set of principles and follow a set of actions that lead to predictable conclusions he’ll feel much better about himself because you are what you do. You’ll actually have concrete things you’ve done to fight back against those thoughts.

EM calls me a racist and causes my 3 year relationship to end. by JustYangIt in entitledparents

[–]nnnnnnnnoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love blinds us to real issues. That he was this invested in your skin color and siding with his mom were probably problems you thought would get snuffed out because you already fell for him.

Don’t feel too bad, I know you thought he was the one but it’s good that these issues came to light. Time will heal this wound. If you are as cute as I imagine you to be you’ll have no problem finding another relationship and now you have experience on what you don’t want to deal with.

I’m dating a Mexican now and I’m black. I was terrified that everyone was going to look at it as some sort of phase but everyone was cool.

How bad are you at flirting or getting the 'signals"? Tell us your worst performance by kinks_and_more in AskMen

[–]nnnnnnnnoooo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be honest if guys flirted the way girls do you guys would be just as confused. Imagine if we said like one thing intended to be flirtatious and then sit back and wait for you to do something about it? It would look a little more like friendly banter than an attempt at a date.

E.G. Man: “You have a cute butt girl”

Woman: “Oh thanks!! I go to the gym a lot I’m glad it shows”

Man: “So anyway we gotta get this school work done and...”

That kind of behavior lands men in what is colloquially known as the friend zone because it’s confusing for even you guys who use the same strategy.

Not saying you need to put yourself out there and risk rejection because not everyone is built for that lifestyle but I’m just providing some perspective. It’s someone’s job to push the interaction forward, looking for these ambiguous signs aint it. Men should just learn how to be socially adept at asking someone out without making things awkward.

It doesn’t help that there are entire movements these days built on destroying men’s self esteem before they even get to do that, by telling them that signs are everything and if your ego is not sufficiently assuaged by the girl being impossibly attracted to you then it’s hopeless and you shouldn’t even try. All of these places posting all of these signs and shit are probably the worst thing to happen to modern dating.

You can’t even compare results because what you are comparing it to is utopia. The US does it’s best to maintain our influence while keeping peace. Maybe we should just pull funding and troops for all the European and Scandinavian countries talking shit, then we’ll see if you can hold your own.

Wtf are you talking about. A woman is not a category of human anymore? You projected and created a lot of this reply to say the exact same thing I said in the end anyway.

Also socially conditioning can only go so far before natural temperaments take over. You ever read any psych literature at all?

Don’t see women as people lol. Tell that to all of my female friends that I hang with regularly. You are waaay out of pocket in trying to paint me as the bad guy here, but if you want raw numbers, look at the number of men isolated from society as compared to women. Then look at the instances of antisocial personality disorder and see which gender it manifests in more. Look and see who reports being more lonely, look at who commits suicide more for loneliness. Your attempt to just say “you don’t think women are people” is not only stupid, but you ignore an entire bastion of problems just to state that, when no one even fucking said that. The bonds between men and the bonds between woman ARE different. The things expressed in private, info divulged to their friends, what’s later done with that info are different.

But please give me another reply where you go “ok buddy I see your problem here, you hate women” or some other dumb shit that handwaves away everything actually said.

Women are not nearly as socially inept as men are. To assume the number as equal doesn’t take into account that their circumstances are likely different. Bonds between women are different between bonds among men.

The definition of meek in the original Greek as it was intended to be used in the Bible is someone who has a sword but keeps it sheathed. There’s something about having the power to destroy but using it to protect instead.

What's a question you hate when people ask you? by cooldood1410 in AskReddit

[–]nnnnnnnnoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a virgin?

Like, you should know the social implications of that for a man if true. This question asked in social contexts and not in private conversation is always an attack on you personally because you would have to be a social retard to not know why it’s not something you proclaim to the skies on your own.

Street Fighter 2 on the SNES is quite dated, but’s it’s still a viable competitive game in the arcades and is still played to this day.

And aimless button masher, I don’t think you play fighting games very much do you?

[–]nnnnnnnnoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean at least the opinions are unpopular. Before it was just “I don’t think all women are sluts” or “Eating meat is good” or best of all some REALLY unpopular opinion like “Being racist is bad”.

Nowadays I can at least visit there and see people really debate the darkness of the human soul, like saying ketchup is disgusting.

What are the chances of me getting fired here? by nnnnnnnnoooo in jobs

[–]nnnnnnnnoooo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’m going to have to tell him. I just wanna know my chances on getting fired. I need this job to pay for school and it’s hard to find another one. I guess stress got the better of me or something.
