I've always thought that, because some men wanna see boobies, they assume women want to see their junk. We don't.



Plenty of Transexuals also send nudes unsolicited on dating sites; even more than men.

Likewise with medical care and therapy. It’s why we never have cure for cancer. Imagine if they could cure cancer. The companies would lose billions from cancer therapy.

It's not so much hospitals that don't want to help people but pharma industry. Pharma industry is simply business, because developing a new drug and having it licensed is very expensive.
That's the reason why there are no drugs for some very rare diseases, or why not many new antibiotics are developed while the old ones still work well enough for most pathogenic bacteria.

Cancer is a different story. Cancer research is huge actually. Lots of new treatments are being developed, many of them quite promising but many not licensed yet. Some cancers are curable. In old patients doctors sometimes choose not to cure a curable cancer but only delay it, because with the delay they can be almost sure that something else will kill the patient before the cancer gets too much of a problem.
Getting new cancer treatments licensed is tedious. A drug needs to be sufficiently tested on patients before it is licensed. As cancer is a deadly illness, you mustn't test new therapies on people who could survive with already licensed ones. Therefore you can only test them on people who would almost certainly die with the current drugs. That slows it down.

... that's actually off topic, but whatever


I bet some cancer cures are kept in the dark because the current treatments are more lucrative.

If someone invented a better cure for cancer they'd make a fortune.

In other words, there is no evidence.

Boo was drawing a comparison between guys and transexuals or whatnot sending dick pics. By the way you tried to invalidate his words it is apparent that you disagree with him. Don't you?
So what data do you have to say that we shouldn't believe Boo?
Also, I don't think anyone published transexual dick pics statistics. Is it wrong for Boo to talk about his experience? In another thread you just made a claim talking about your experience with guys.

No, I simply asked for evidence.

He didn't present any.

Should I keep talking to these ladies? They messaged me more but people here say I’m horrible and shouldn’t be in a relationship so now I’m anxious


Just out of curiosity, who said those things? You're not horrible and I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be in a relationship.

I don't understand why you don't know if you should reply. Isn't the logical solution replying to people who show interest? Where will you get to if you don't reply to anyone?

Cronos did and then you and few others agreed with it. People I thought were kinda friends but clearly aren’t.

Not if by getting into a relationship I’d be harming some woman. I don’t want to hurt anyone


Pretty sure I didn’t agree with either of those things.

Yep. We have to be able to make those distinctions.

Also, in the real world, a man would probably never send a picture of his dick to a woman.


Unless he was in politics. :D

Huh?


There's a whole list of male politicians who have gotten into trouble for doing this, often to random women.

Politicians come from rich well off family’s. They grew up with power over others and so don’t respect women as much. Then they get into even more power, power corrupts. I have no drive to be a politician but I couldn’t anyways as I don’t come from wealth. Most wealthy people are not good human beings. Being raised by mean people and being raised told their superior to others does that to people.

That probably wasn’t directed at anyone in particular. I think you probably aren’t ready for a relationship, though. You need to learn some self respect and work on any health issues first. It sounds like you have depression.

I think they were just teasing each other, rather than arguing.
