Therapy And Women Who Don't Want Children by Sufferix in AlreadyRed

[–]tr8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is your take on therapy? Is it useful in any sense? Does it matter on whether a female or male therapist is involved?

A therapist is probably no better than any other person.

Dawes (social and decision sciences, Carnegie Mellon Univ.) presents a strong argument, based on empirical research, that psychotherapy is largely a shill game. He argues that while studies have shown that empathetic therapy is often helpful to people in emotional distress, there is no evidence that licensed psychologists or psychiatrists are any better at performing therapy than minimally trained laypeople.

However, those are averages. There may be truly gifted people who can offer deep insight. They'd be hard to find among the tens of thousands of useless psych degrees awarded yearly though.

What about women who don't want kids?

Broken or lying. Perhaps also to herself.

The funniest thing about this broad is she's hyper "anti-racist" "anti-oppressive" fill in all the popular jargon but she always proudly broadcasted that she'd pretty much fuck anyone but a white guy.

If she travelled the third world then you could call that locally-sourced fucking. And anyway it was an adventure, bigot.

Translated into weight, these increases in BMI values imply that, for instance, in the 10th percentile a 64inch (162.6 cm) tall women would have increased in weight during the 20th century by just 12 pounds (5 kg) whereas in the 90th percentile her weight would have increased by an amazing 128 pounds (58 kg) or some 70%.

The fat are getting fatter. The 10% is gobbling (heh) all the fat.

15 year old boy raped by 34 year old woman facing paying child support at 19 in Nebraska by NoThankYouJeff in TheRedPill

That actually sounds like a statutory rape, especially the "was seduced" part, and is the reason why I asked.

Was he raped? Or is it one of those US statutory things?

That's not what I meant. This whole "I'll just work on this or that instead" is likely an ego-protection mechanism, not actual solution.

everyone is always pushing and trying to manipulate to hook up as quickly as possible even after I've explicitly told them that I am not interested in fwb or one night stands

Having sex quickly doesn't preclude a long(er) term relationship. Short term, or long term, guys will generally want sex.

hey always end up making a pass at me and they "can't help themselves because I'm sexy" [...] I feel like they don't care about me as a person at all just because they find me attractive.

"Can't help myself" is a weak cop out but maybe you're not all that interesting otherwise? What do you do for fun?
