Big news.

Nothing in my bedroom has anything to do with the Matrix unless it's on my desk. Those are pretty big words for someone adhering to a made-up philosophy of misogyny.

I find your being challenged by the notion of female equality weaker than any guy who puts women first. Go back to your place. See what I did there?

Not everyone is into BDSM-like submissive white-knightish crap like you soy boys, you know?
If having a spine makes me a misogynist, then yes I am a misogynist.
Why don't you go sucking up to some chick instead of talking of stuff you know nothing about?

Wow you really know me huh?

I'm just gonna make the call for the mods & say bye in advance.

I highly doubt it, considering how you insulted me calling me a misogynist first and without provocations. Take responsability for what you say, if you mess with someone prepare for them getting back at you.

That's not an insult, it's a fact you acknowledged. I'm sorry my existence troubles you but that's tough man.

Love has nothing to do with imaginary pills everybody.

Either define it for yourself or subscribe to some dumb tweets.

'Nuff said.

I experienced it. It sucked every time. The Red Pill only confirmed what I always suspected: men love women, women love kids, kids love puppies. Or slightly reworded: men love women, women respect men. That is all.

Just maybe it might be a little shortsighted to pre-ordain whom everyone else loves?

I know it's just a thought exercise but this pill on a pedestal really creeps me out AND I'M A GUY. You're just replacing the people in your life that love you with a fictional drug.

I'm all for real love & safer drugs personally.

If you keep getting hurt by women (or men for that matter), then you need to look at who and what you're attracting and are attracted to. Because the only common denominator in all of your relationships is you.

Some people have such strong visual signs of fertility and attractiveness that they can effectively hide how horrible of a human being they actually are. Mates are so blinded by their physical attractiveness and driven solely by their hormonal response, they're completely blind to it and don't realize it until it's too late. By that time, the kids have already been born. It's quite an effective mating strategy if you consider it from a purely biological perspective.

In short, that initial flush of hormones eventually wears off. What you're left after that within a long term relationship is a flawed individual human being, some better than others.

If you make bad mate choices you'll suffer for it eventually. And it's no one else's fault that you didn't pay attention.

By the way I still haven't understood why my suggestion that guys need to have a spine when some women try to order them around is misogynist in your opinion.

I am also not sure why you say that your existence troubles me when in all my years here I have barely given you any attention.

This is just so offensive and wrong on so many levels.

I’m a woman who has definitely loved a man.

I’ve been treated lousy by a couple of men, but I still don’t make sweeping generalizations about the entire sex.

:shrug: I wouldn't say women order me around. I'll make ordinary agreements to do stuff but I was actually commenting that I wanted to hear more about the female initiative(s) around me because too much masculinity just gets boring.

Excuse me?

I started this thread. I've never been in a relationship in my life.

A couple evenings ago when I left my sister's place to walk home it was to the sound of my 3yo nephew, Chaos, shouting the words: "I love you uncle!" Melted my :heart:

for sure!

And just last night while I was working 45kms away (and had some volunteer work queued up to borrow a truck and help a single mother who's infant son was murdered 2 years ago move their heavy furniture to their new place afterwards) I received a text message inviting me to the restaurant a couple of my God kids were having dinner with their father at. I haven't seen them in months because their family lives busy lives and we haven't connected - but damn did it feel good to get the invite, and had I been home a few short blocks away I'd have gone for dinner for sure.

There's a whole lot of love in this world besides that between romantic partners. I think some of you have such blinders on that you don't even notice it in your own lives because it isn't a significant other and thus is insignificant, and that, IMO, is oh-so-wrong.

I quoted a married person. My comment was directed at married and people who've been in relationships not you. Context darling.

Thanks! That makes sense.

It is an extremely unproductive and limiting attitude.

I’ve never taken a red pill, or a blue pill.

I’m short and chubby, wear glasses, used to wear braces, had my share of rejection.....

However, learning to treat women like friends and people has gotten me pretty far.

I can't tell what the complaint is anymore. No telling why a thread about positivity got hijacked by sexism. No idea why you want to "get back at me" nor how anybody does that over the internet.

Congrats, you've successfully demonized guys being nice but I'm not buying your pills. Red & blue pills are just a cute metaphor for rudimentary black & white thinking. Most guys know our choices in life aren't all binary.

I have good people in my life I love & that's cool.

Peace.

Thanks.
