@@vanessasempireoftwigs198 a lovely sentiment!

@@watchconor no it's not, he's effectively castrated himself, the whole point is to have children, if people don't understand that traditional family values are what is going to save Western Democracies from the current political correctness degrading our society then we are all doomed

What a tragic way to find a book. Great story though!

true, but I wouldn’t rely on dating apps for finding “the one” but rather for booking up or even finding new friends in the case of apps such as “Bumble”, if you want to find love then you gotta do it manually by joining local groups based around hobbies/interests you have and then forming connections through there

Clinical psychologist Sam Vaknin would argue that it's a society that has been hijacked mentally and spiritually by pathological narcissism. That is what we have on full display here when we discuss technology and society/identity. People are looking at many of the symptoms and calling them causes like capitalism or the economic system. What one believes is the beginning and end of how they operate in the world. We live in a totally unnatural and imitation world, our sciences are proving to be worthless and in many ways fake. People need to cling to a sense of meaning or belonging. Peoples belief systems get influenced and hijacked by other mentally ill or mentally abusive people online or in the real dating landscape. People who live must contend with the idea that their life has no meaning, in a fantastically fake world, that still traumatizes you day in and day out. People use their identity and their fake money tool in order to punish and "fight" the competing forces that they perceive to be in competition with. People can use any instrument to cause abuse, and propaganda comes in all flavors. Biologically we are still rooted in our older regions of our brains, and we are all simply using these means to disconnect with one another, and indulge in our narcissism that leads us to believe that we are omnipotent and need the most and best of everything the world has to offer without risking anything personally. We are not loving one another because we choose so many self destructive behaviors and connect with people based on a materialistic shared fantasy. People don't want to be average in the global world, we were never given the chance to choose to be ourselves, we internalized a message down the line that if we don't dominate over everyone then we aren't safe.

Wow really well said! Yeah I mean I think as boomer as it sounds, it really does come down to to technology. Everyone is simultaneously connected yet isolated. You match with someone on an app and it feels so abstract, it’s hard to internalize “okay this is a real person I can make a connection with”.

@@redherringoffshoot2341 I’m actually gonna call BS on this one: if you’re a single man and you start joining local hobby groups for the purpose of meeting someone romantically, it’s not gonna go that well. For one these groups tend to trend older, like 30+, so if you’re younger it’s a no go. Secondly the gender ratio is *usually* not skewed in your favor, and many of the women will be in relationships. You honestly have a better chance meeting people irl through parties, bars, clubs, raves etc. There’s a manosphere folk wisdom that declares the women that indulge in that aren’t ‘relationship’ material, and that’s frankly dumb. Just because someone likes to drink and dance a little doesn’t mean they only want casual flings, or even that they want those at all. And frankly even a casual fling can result in a serious, loving relationship. I say, take the ‘party-pill’, and live it up.

@@earhearthush-up5549 yeah, I go to a rock climbing gym, and while the gender ratio is about 50:50, women almost never go there by themselves, so it’s not a good avenue

@@commarchinin thank you!

Largely why pretty boys are so successful in a fast-life history strategy, they appeal directly intersexually, as opposed to competing intrasexually

gross.

Get out of here with this crap lol

Yes, but there’s a few other inescapable principles. Eg, handicap principle where Individuals of a species display costly, hard-to-fake traits as signals of fitness. By purchasing and showcasing luxury items, individuals signal that they possess surplus resources, which implies genetic strength and high social status. These goods are expensive and often non-essential, making them a reliable indicator that the individual can afford to waste resources, thus demonstrating their ability to thrive despite such costs. This display not only attracts potential mates by showcasing resource-holding power but also wards off competitors, reinforcing dominance in social and mating hierarchies. Sexual selection doesn’t only come down to 3 principles

@@watchconor Clever. But how can an ideology trump evolutionary biology and human nature?

@@LiberPater777 what do you mean by human nature

@egehankokmen3102 Are you unable to look the definition up or something?...

@@LiberPater777 no, it's because people say "human nature does x" without clarifying anything and acting like it's the responder's fault for not being able to read your mind and cut through the vague and never elucidated meaning
