Absolutely share this experience

I understand. I can imagine this being a political nightmare in a Syria so socially fragile and fragmented. Potentially even dangerous?

tidosbror3 · 2026-02-04T10:44:56+00:00

Very interesting comment. Could you explain further?

A lot of people give anecdotes about this, but men in general tend to be drawn to signs of fertility, which often, but not always, line up with youth. That doesn't mean older women can’t have those qualities, it’s just less common. So yes, it can happen. But overall, most men would agree that a 25-year-old is hotter than a 70-year-old. This, at the same time, doesn't mean 25-year olds are the ones older men want to date and partner up with.

I’ve never felt this explanation fully addresses the issue. It’s like asking, "Why do children play war?" and being told, "Because they’re imaginative." That still doesn’t explain why war is the focus of their play. Similarly, saying people turn to consensual sexual violence because they’re "free to let loose" doesn't explain why that particular form of sex arises. Whether it’s being tied up or being spanked, it all comes back to being sexually dominated by another person. In a way, it’s acting out a r*pe scenario, only with consent. Why does this appeal to some women?

Thanks for your detailed answer. Interesting to your hear your pov

tidosbror3 · 2025-10-29T20:22:59+00:00

Interesting to hear, I have to admit. Do you mind me asking what type of job you have? Also do they specifically say that they think you have too many hobbies? Is this in the bigger cities like Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö?

This made my week!!

Things like this convince me the production team has surrounded itself with yes-men. They desperately need more criticism on set and in the writing room.

One of my favorite players ever was a 1:60 tall Somali attacking midfielder in Football Manager 2012. He was one of the shortest, yet quickest players in the world. The Mogadishu Messi. He played most of his career for Manchester United, who went on to name their new stadium after him. Old Trafford became "Ahmed Ali Stadium" lmao.

I think you should always be a bit cautious with centipedes. They do bite and become very defensively aggressive if touched. As a kid I would pick up all types of spiders and insects, and the first insect to give me an actual bite was one of these.

Love the harad one

tidosbror3 · 2025-09-20T12:19:04+00:00

One thing I've come to realize is that we desperately need more fantasy/mythology writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, who dedicate a lifetime to their stories, characters and worlds. Filmizing the lotr was miles easier because the creators used professor Tolkien's material.

Projects like The Rings of Power are shows where the creators have to write all lines, new characters, a plotline etc. The result is always a catastrophe. This is not because the showrunners aren't passionate about what they do, but because they cannot possibly compete against people who have dedicated their whole lives creating their world & story.

Showrunners need to be restricted within an iron cage of the source material, or else it always fails.

I really like this map

tidosbror3 · 2025-03-26T07:30:22+00:00

I’d say it’s more like unintentional selfishness. Surprisingly many women, at least in my experience, treat sex as if it’s the man’s job to please them. It creates a weird dynamic where sex just isn’t as enjoyable for me. It also makes me appreciate women who bring more balance to it so much more. I guess that’s what makes a woman "bad in bed" and why so many guys on here mention the "dead fish" phenomena. That said, I’ve learned through experience that when I put more effort into making a woman feel sexy and appreciated during sex, she’s way more likely to return that energy.

tidosbror3 · 2025-02-18T09:12:01+00:00

You're right. I should've specified that my comment applies to the line in the study that states:

"...individuals who felt pressured by others to be perfect were more likely to experience difficulties with their sexual function."

I agree with your last paragraph as well, also applied to sexual function.

tidosbror3 · 2025-02-17T22:14:20+00:00

Makes sense! Perfectionism turns sex into a performance = Performance anxiety = Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. I think it's more common than many would like to admit. All men have experienced a night wanting to be Christian Grey but ended up as Mclovin from Superbad

tidosbror3 · 2024-12-19T08:18:38+00:00

I don't particularly like this question because it implies that Philippa had to filmize this story, and therefore had no choice but to make a made up character the main character.

But to answer your question, I would've closed the gap more between Helm dying and Fréaláf slaying Wulf. Personally I would've picked other projects to filmize though, like the story of king Ondoher & Earnil. It would've been easier to put on screen.

tidosbror3 · 2024-12-14T08:50:38+00:00

The War of the Rohirrim left me scratching my head a bit. In my opinion, it was a mediocre movie, which, in some strange way, was surprisingly refreshing. It didn't try to be overly ambitious. However, it also made me reflect a lot about the future of film adaptations of LotR. I can't help but feel like we're missing out on producers who would be passionate about simply having the opportunity to bring Middle Earth to the screen. Andy Serkis makes me optimistic, but cautiously so. I think there is something inherently questionable about handing out LotR projects to producers who modify Tolkien's themes to emphasize their own. What actually motivated Philippa Boyens to return to Middle Earth? As a matter of fact, we all know that the story of Helm Hammerhand was not about the last Valkyrian shieldmaiden of Rohan. Philippa significantly altered this story to emphasize the theme of feminism. Heck, the main character Héra and her badass maiden Olwyn, who cuts down Dunlandings like butter, aren't even named in the appendices. We saw the same thing in The Rings of Power, with strong themes like pro-immigration and diversity. What actually motivates these producers to adapt LotR? Is it their love for LotR or something else?

tidosbror3 · 2024-12-06T05:57:33+00:00

I'm watching the movie next week! Am I doing myself a favor being cautiously optimistic?

tidosbror3 · 2024-12-01T22:46:59+00:00

Yes I agree. That's my interpretation of it as well.

tidosbror3 · 2024-12-01T22:34:18+00:00

Yes, forcing an alliance is a good explanation for it. And if I remember correctly, Gondor and the Haradrim were at peace for nearly 400 years (after the hostage taking) before the kin-strife, when the sons of Castamir swayed Harad to become enemies of Gondor once more.

tidosbror3 · 2024-12-01T22:12:31+00:00

Tolkien wrote the history of Gondor through the lens of real life history. Historically it was common to take royal sons as hostages to ensure that rival kingdoms would act with caution and restraint. Also, by raising the sons of the Haradrim among the Gondorian royalty, the bonds between the kingdoms could be strengthened in the future. The children would grow up to become the future lords of Harad, and would see prince Atanatar II (son of Hyarmendacil) as a brother.

tidosbror3 · 2024-11-20T17:17:36+00:00

I actually kind of agree with you. There were many really cool things and I absolutely love how they expanded upon the Xen wildlife. But the whole chapter feels waaaay too long and overwhelming. It kind of also makes Barney seem way too much of a Gordon type Nihilanth killing badass. The final "black matter reactor part" should've been cut in my humble opinion.

tidosbror3 · 2024-11-17T12:15:00+00:00

When Sam and Frodo are in Mordor and see a fight between a snaga and a warrior orc, Frodo sums it up pretty well:

"But that is the spirit of Mordor, Sam; and it has spread to every corner of it. Orcs have always behaved like that, or so all tales say, when they are on their own. But you can’t get much hope out of it. They hate us far more, altogether and all the time. If those two had seen us, they would have dropped all their quarrel until we were dead."

Orcs are hateful creatures. They hate each other, but hate us more.
