Here is another example: Cole doesn’t get to live a normal life. His powers are a curse that ruined his life, killed his loved ones, but he uses them to do the right thing anyway. He embraces a fate he never chose, to be humanity’s savior, and he embraces his death to achieve that end.

I want to know what forms of masculinity you find admirable or respectable, here is mine: The red pill crowd worships aesthetics, reps, and dominance—but Kurtz? He represents a strength that transcends domination. He embodies the kind of man who’s been broken, burned, and come out the other side knowing things no gym rat could ever fathom. His strength is mythic, archetypal, even dangerous—because it’s rooted in facing the raw truth of existence without flinching. He is also fat in a place normal people starve to death, what does that say? Anyway, I want to see your examples.

A wise monk was once giving a lecture on the nature of the universe — how stars form, how time flows, and how existence came to be. At the end of the talk, an old man approached him, looking skeptical. “Interesting theory,” the old man said, “but I believe the world rests on the back of a great scam.” The monk raised an eyebrow. “A scam?” “Yes,” the old man nodded confidently. “Everything you see — politics, money, relationships, even hope — it’s all built on a grand scam.” The monk smiled gently and asked, “But what holds up that scam?” The old man replied without hesitation: “Oh, that’s easy. It’s scams all the way down.”

I guess I’m just not around enough stage blue women. Hot takes on The View are usually the spiciest politics I hear from them.

I’ve also never met a female zealot or ideologue. Has there ever been a woman equivalent to the unabomber? A lot of men eat hardcore ideology for breakfast.

I notice women rarely give a shit about getting results, empty platitudes about success and veneers of self development seem more popular with them. Even something like a hobby, they aren’t as hardcore about it.

I knew women were less attuned to truth when conveniently my mother was the only person who thought I could be a model

@Princess Arabia I think maybe it was Owen Cooke who said it, but he said most men are just looking for 6/10 that’s nice to them, and that’s absolutely true in my experience. Now to impress some top tier man, yes their standards are higher, but that is a small fragment of men. A woman doesn’t need to be exceptional to impress most men.

@Princess Arabia Look, I am not just talking about dating, but I acknowledge your struggles. But men who do not ‘put in work’ end up on the street, no one wants to take care of a grown ass man. I think it’s harder for us, but I also think it should be that way. Like, if your struggles were actually equally as challenging as mine, that would make me feel really inadequate.

@Princess ArabiaI think fashion and beauty is pretty low effort, a woman can literally pay for this stuff. Masculinity can’t be bought in a salon. I got my ass kicked by the sky for over a year before my first solo flight as a pilot, the fear and adversity I overcame was unimaginable, but that growth can’t be developed any other way. Despite all that, I’m still a pretty mediocre petty man. A woman has to do far less to be considered a great woman, but I think this is the natural order of things.

Women do not need to become, they just need to be. Becoming a man is like forging a sword, it is a much more painful violent process. Men have always been held to a higher standard of conduct and character. Manson pretty much had a harem of women killing his enemies for him, I think he is a rare example of a male prize.

@Princess Arabia I guess the woman usually gets the better end of the deal. We have to put in like 1000% more effort to get even mediocre results. But what about Charles Manson? These girls ruined their lives for him

@Princess Arabia Why do so many main characters have more than one prize? Prize must not be all that to them

I tried for quite a long time but never closed, but I did get into a fight and thrown out of a party. I’d like to move to Vegas and try it again one day.
