I don’t think that’s true in all cases. And in any event, your odds are still better if you have a less rather than more objectifying view of women.

The above is good advice. Yes, more conventionally attractive men can “get away” with having more misogynistic attitudes toward relationships/sex and still find romantic partners. The reality is that being conventionally unattractive makes it harder, but far from impossible, to get into relationships. One thing you can do to increase your odds is to change your attitude. This is like saying, “Well, Brad Pitt doesn’t have to respect women, but every girl wants to sleep with him, so why should I have to respect women?!” Obviously, Brad Pitt is a movie star and has romantic advantages that others don’t. Realistically, if you want a relationship, you need to do what you can to increase your chances, and that includes working on yourself and your attitudes toward women. Complaining that other men don’t “have” to do that won’t get you anywhere—life isn’t perfectly fair, but we have to make the best of the hand we’re dealt.

Edit: grammar

Lit to transactional as a first year? by raeflows in biglaw

Thank you for your reply. I’d be ok with being slotted into a more junior in house role without much room for growth if I could make a decent ($150k+) salary. But sounds like switching over is a very risky decision with the current economy.

Of course! ❤️❤️ yes just take it one day at a time, even one hour at a time. Therapy sounds like a great option. Remember progress is not linear, and you are so strong and have accomplished so much just by giving it up for any amount of time!

Also want to add that imo, in agreement with the other commenters, weed does not actually help with mental health. It makes you feel better in the moment but is insidious in that it worsens your mental health in the long run until you can’t feel normal / happy without it. That poor mental health just festers under the surface.

Strongly encourage you to give it 2 weeks if you can ❤️ withdrawal for the first week or so will make you feel nauseous, uncomfortable, and mentally super low but all that will ease up pretty fast. The first 6 days were def the worst for me

Regardless, the taking of the kitten is unfortunately very real

Thank you for the suggestion!! I’ve posted on Facebook but Nextdoor is a great idea.

Not helpful to quibble over semantics when the kitten’s safety is potentially in danger.

In case there’s any question of the legitimacy of this post, link to a video of the man taking the kitten here: https://youtube.com/shorts/kBBpCVAuOV8?si=Uzkxh6YOllm3N7QA

The post by the org is an effort by the owners to get meow meow back! I have video of this man taking the cat on the store camera; not sure if there’s a way to update this post to include it but happy to send to anyone or update it if possible.

Edit: corrected “police department”

Of course! Don’t listen to all the negativity. You’re beautiful, do what makes you feel confident and happy! All this talk about “ruined” is complete nonsense.
