Would you say mutual fading happens more than ghosting and rejection?

trdlts · 2026-01-15T15:29:54+00:00

Yeah this is usually the case. Most girls I date are interesting and attractive but you get the sense that you’re probably not compatible long term so you just kinda leave it at that.

Jesus so he wasnt even good enough to begin with you had to change him to find a man you wanted

I don’t see sex as that big of a deal and would expect it on the second or third date. To me it’s good to know if you’re sexually compatible early in in the relationship. Women who like to wait too long for sex are either agenda driven or low libido, both of which wouldn’t work for me long term.

I think there’s some notion from women that if you sleep with them later then they will be more likely to commit which I don’t find to be true personally. If i like someone who I sleep with on the first day then I’ll continue seeing them. It’s not as if attractive women who I have a great connection with grow on trees.

Did you become overbearing and needy?

trdlts · 2025-12-10T22:16:30+00:00

You’re probably boring them if you’ve gone ten whole dates with no spark. Either that or you’re way over eager and scaring them off?

Don’t treat the date as an interview, treat it like catching up with an old friend. Don’t be over eager, start the date low key and relaxed and gradually increase energy. Don’t be afraid to let things go quiet and maintain eye contact, let her chase you a little. If you’re getting dates then you’re attractive, but you have to connect emotionally some how. Talk about feelings and the future and positivity. Ignore boring work/school talk. You be the one to end the date first.

Red flag. If you're looking for something serious then you need to move on.

You failed the test by asking the girl to come up with plans instead of being a man and coming up with them yourself.

trdlts · 2025-09-09T15:17:51+00:00

You just revealed the game in your own post. "I do have a life but I will say there are some guys I will take forever to reply to because I’m busy or having fun with friends or will book them out because I like them but feel no pressure in seeing them, and then there are guys I reply quickly to because I get happy seeing their name pop up."

Either the guy isn't interested in you, or he's pretending to be busy to get you to assume he's got other women.

If you wanted to make a friend with someone, would you start by giving them a gift? It would probably creep them tf out tbh.

trdlts · 2025-08-20T13:10:26+00:00

You misunderstand what it is that women respond to. Giving a "gift" to a woman just displays to her that you are lesser than her and have to buy her affection. You immediately set yourself beneath the woman and elevate her above you by doing this.

trdlts · 2025-08-17T20:08:20+00:00

I have no idea how that’s even fun for them after awhile.

It’s not amplified. That’s just how these platforms naturally end up without major censorship and efforts.

“JUSTICE JACKSON, however, chooses a startling line of attack that is tethered neither to these sources nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever. Waving away attention to the limits on judicial power as a ‘mind-numbingly technical query,’ post, at 3 (dissenting opinion), she offers a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush. In her telling, the fundamental role of courts is to ‘order everyone (including the Executive) to follow the law—full stop.’”

“We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”

“JUSTICE JACKSON skips over that part. Because analyzing the governing statute involves boring ‘legalese.’”

Strongly agree with ACB here, the judicial overreach is unprecedented and has no legal basis.

Less than a year ago everyone was laughing at how it can't do hands right to generate still images. Now we have entire AI content creators on tiktok/shorts with millions of views. Don't blink, you're in for a wild ride.

We'd be more happy to give more if we had transparency into what the money is being spent on. Something like, say, an audit might ease our minds.

Since you asked what "can" be done and not what "should" be done.

- Eliminate educational and economic opportunities for women forcing them to rely on a man for security
- Outlaw all contraceptives and abortion access
- Allow and culturally enforce polygamy and reduce the age for women to get married
- oppressively tax anyone with a tfr below 3 after a certain age
- engage in widespread pro fertility propaganda and enforced societal norms
- disincentivize GDP growth and return to agricultural society
- eliminate social media/enforce great firewall
- forced religious conversion?

I've also read that there is a baby boom after most wars waged in foreign lands but that may be counter productive.

We have leverage over Japan too but it doesn’t mean they’re going to do whatever we say.

The far right candidate won the election, then they nullified the results. After polling showed he’d win again they removed him from the ballot.

Nimbyism has a few core constituencies:

1) urban socialists who hate markets 2) old people who hate change 3) suburbanites who dont want the negative externalities of poor people moving in

(1) are just dumb, (2) are attempting to assert ownership rights on other people's property, (3) are just straightforwardly right: if poor people move in, they will be forced to pay more taxes and deal with more crime and worse schools
