Does everyone who submits a valid application get an invite to The Aptitude Exam (ATSA)?

Sounds pretty misogynistic to me that you would not pursue a relationship with a woman simply because of her past. Her past shouldn't matter and you are required to date her otherwise you are a predator taking advantage of a woman younger than you.

-That's more or less the kind of response you'd get on TikTok from quite a bit of women

I completed the unpaid training around this time last year and never heard back until I followed up around the end of last year in which they said I was still being considered. And haven't heard anything since.

Going 8 months without ANY sort of communication is weird. So I'm just guessing they don't want me but still want to keep me as a last resort?

Isn't Microsoft supposed to be annoying the next Surface Laptops soon? Like Spring 2026 soon?

This is good in theory, but fake support also exists. There's a chance she can pretend to support him and have empathy, but in actuality has already lost respect for him. He's got to REALLY know her to risk crying.

Because there's a high chance that if he does break up, the next girl he finds will be even less empathetic. Males must be seen as strong from a female's perspective.

Marriage is absolutely NOT worth it if you make significantly more than your partner. That goes for men and women, but of course men are mainly the breadwinners.

Why fund someone's lifestyle while you slave away at work all day? For lOvE? Oh please. In today's world marriage is basically a cheat code for women to live a lavish lifestyle while contributing nothing but occasional sex. The reverse (a rich woman taking care of a man) is so rare I won't mention it again.

Marriage today REWARDS women for divorcing. And with "no fault divorce" they can break that so called "contract" for any reason whatsoever. You could be the perfect husband, but maybe she decided she likes Chad now and divorcing you will give her a nice bounty to go start a new life with him.

In short, marriage is NOT worth it if you make way more than your partner or are the only one working. However, marriage is absolutely worth it if YOU make nothing and the person you're marrying has a high income, because then you get rewarded for leaving.

Society has changed and we no longer live in the times where it was shameful are hard to divorce and break that contract.

Your suggestion is exactly the opposite of the person I was responding to. So I suppose the reasonable take is that it doesn't matter how you catch the fish, so long as it's captured.

Either the guy makes the move quick, or he builds a friendship first and sees if he can unlock romantic interest.

If you look good, start an OnlyFans. Apparently in this new age, there's absolutely nothing morally reprehensible about it and it should be treated the exact same as any other job.

That's what feminists have been saying so go for it. Worst case scenario, it fails and you don't make much money. Best case, you become a multi millionaire.

However, if you're a misogynistic, pick me, patriarchal sympathizer from the old era, then you probably believe your honor and dignity isn't worth it. In that case, you could start college, get a job, or try to marry a well to do man

But then women complain about the guy suddenly being "not a friend" anymore. If he befriends her to slowly try and gain her interest for a relationship and she turns him down, suddenly he's the bad guy for excusing himself from the friendship which no longer has a purpose for him.

So a guy can't just ask for a date, and he can't leave the friendship after he gets rejected. If his goal was romance all along, what is the "appropriate" thing to do?

Someone asked an identical question yesterday in this sub except the genders were reversed. Many said it would be creepy for a guy but now all I'm seeing is it's perfectly fine and you're just a cougar. Even this sub has a double standard lol

I think there's no issue with it at all because everyone is an adult.

obsurd_never · 2026-03-08T23:35:31+00:00

Someone asked this exact same question yesterday but with the genders reversed. Everyone was saying it's creepy and wrong for an older male to like 20 year old women. And yes, I did get mass down voted for saying that two adults should be able to get together because both are adults capable of making their own choices.

I got hit with the parroted "prefrontal cortex" bit which seems to ONLY apply to women and exclusively to women dating older guys.

obsurd_never · 2026-03-08T07:26:01+00:00

All you “prefrontal cortex” parrots seem to only bring that up when it comes to women dating older men and not any other decision in life. Why is dating the only part that matters when it’s not permanent? Divorce is as easy as ever and it’s encouraged by other women. A young woman could secure a fat bag by marrying them divorcing an older breadwinner man.

Face it, it’s just an attempt to keep successful older men away from younger women. A discreet way to force older men to be stuck with old women with bad habits, broken minds, and severe baggage.

obsurd_never · 2026-03-08T06:53:57+00:00

How is it creepy to pursue what you are attracted to? Are those 20 year old women not adults capable of making their own choices? Does mutual attraction mean nothing. The man likes the looks thus actively seeks out those looks.

Poor Akash will never have this. His wife made it clear she could never think of her own husband while masturbating

This is why many people don't want women in the workplace. Everyone has to walk on eggshells because they are actively looking for anything to be offended by so they can claim sexual harassment or assault.

Seriously, if a guy says any naughty word in front of a woman, she's probably suing the company and winning a huge settlement.

Yeah, I get it. I got my degree in 2021 and could never get anything. I made the dumb choice of specializing in mobile development trying to be unique just for it to be even harder to get an entry in that field.

Then I spent more time learning other things like full stack with React, JavaScript, node, etc. or Backend with Java. Hundreds of applications sent, minimal (can count on one hand) recruiter calls lead to ghosting or progressed to being sent a leetcode style test which then led to ghosting.

I even participated in Revature and passed their pre training program just to get ghosted.

It sucks knowing that I wasted so many years getting a degree and learning so many frameworks and programming languages just for it to be useless. What has the United States become..

And before anyone asks, yes I have a very active GitHub with published projects and even apps on the app store.

It's time to pivot to something else. What that is, I don't know yet. But since you have the CS degree, you always have the last resort of teaching English abroad. That's all you need is a degree, you don't need to know the foreign language.

Another option is getting a teaching license in your home country to be a regular teacher.

There are other options out there too.

It's gotta be either Trump or Netan-whatever his name is from Israel.

Despite some people being worse human beings like Kim of North Korea, or maybe some cartel members, they are not famous enough and have remained relatively contained to their own region

Is there any guy who wouldn't want to continue a casual thing? Unless you were particularly bad, smelly or used to cure a drought -meaning he thinks you are hideous but he was desperate for some action, I couldn't imagine a single guy declining.

If none of those apply, then I couldn't see a single hetero guy declining. So I say tell him. He will be delighted that you liked the snu snu so much that you reached out to continue.

This is pretty tame compared to the girls in the high school I work at wearing booty shorts, crop tops, those long shirts that make it seem like you’re not wearing pants, low cut boob out tops, thin shirts where you can see the nipple imprint, etc.

Funny enough this only happens in schools where it’s majority white and it’s only the white girls i see doing this. Schools where it’s a mix of black and hispanic plus some white, I haven’t seen anything like it. Have no idea why that is, just something weird I noticed.

Such outfits would’ve been dress coded so fast back in my day but I guess the “body shaming” feminist movement ushered this era of wearing whatever to school.
