A woman's attraction to a toxic bad boy stem from the suppression of her own assertiveness. Toxic bad boys are pretty lame. Can't make a decent partner out of it. As per the nice guy... What's hiding behind that concept? I’ve had male friends who described themselves as 'nice guys,' but their behavior often revealed selfish underlying intentions and energy that felt off-putting. They were 'good partners' only in their own minds, not in reality. As per picking a potential mate... I want someone with whom I can grow and match my value. Not everyone would be compatible and it's a headache.

Kiddos need their mum as much as their dad.

What becomes problematic is using this reasoning to reduce men’s sole purpose to reproduction—just as Leo did with women. If that argument held up, the logical conclusion would be that the main purpose of both genders is reproduction. Yet, this is rarely said about men. The underlying implication is often that a man's purpose transcends reproduction, while women are reduced to the role of child-bearers. In some cases, this narrative is conveniently framed to allow men to prioritize their own ambitions while women are expected to sacrifice themselves—often in the name of love or an idealized version of the 'Madonna". Metaphysically speaking, the purpose of the Masculine isn’t simply to thrive and accomplish for itself like it's the Chad gender. Its deeper role is to love, honor, and protect the Feminine in its full expression. And in it's human form, it also means recognizing and valuing the Feminine beyond its reproductive role and checking out of its current naval gazing tendencies.

Silly me, I should go autoimpregnante myself like a female python .

It’s often said that women’s primary purpose is to have children, but doesn’t this overlook something essential? Both genders play complementary, symbiotic roles in reproduction—neither exists without the other in this process. If we were to follow that logic further, one could argue that men’s physical strength serves the sole purpose of protecting women and their offspring. Yet we know it’s far more nuanced than that. Framing women solely as ‘baby-makers’ not only diminishes our full humanity and capacities to do other things but also implies that men alone hold inherent value, existing for themselves while women are reduced to accessories in the act of creation. The second, subservient sex to the other one. The narrative that women exist primarily for motherhood or are the second sex to men is outdated and does not reflect reality. There are countless women who are exceptionally competent, accomplished, and articulate, contributing meaningfully to society (and this include this forum) in ways that go far beyond this role.

I don't know about a frog prince, but I've got a turtle prince for youuuuuu. 🎵🎵Damn, he is a sexy Mitch. A sexy Mitch. Damn he is a sexy Mitch. 🎵🎵 And Trump is still missing so far, am I not right? Lucky youuu. Also, any chance you were that infamous demon who attacked Tucker Carlson? -- I am having constantly weird dreams lately. And they can turn pretty easily into lucid dreaming. Last time I was exploring a very trippy dream, which contained lots of archetypical symbols and in which I woke up, knowing it was an epic dream that would be perfect for some analysis. And what was super crazy, is that not only during this dream I woke up and turned it lucid, but I transformed the lucid dreaming into some sort of no-self awakening. Second time that this happens to me. Anyway, while this was happening, while I was dreaming I felt clearly that the dreaming mind was looking for homeostasis. And there might be even several layer of homeostasis being looked for. And one of it might be the search for the unconsicious to heal into non-duality too, if it makes sense. I just think the act of sex symbolize merging with what you still haven't made peace with in the relative world and is symbolized by these right wing chads. I share your analysis that you are longing for reintegration and what you dislike outside is disliked inside. End goal is discerning what actuality is made of without judgement and without any sort of repulsion for the ignorance that ends up harming out of innocence and trauma. I do think that the conscious repulsion you've got for these men might be a key element there.Maybe it's even more about you than it is about them. Somewhat making love to your masculine based repressed shame?

Here is what GPT says about it: The idea that everything we do is for love is a philosophical and psychological perspective that reflects the belief that, at a deeper level, all human actions are motivated by the desire for love, connection, and acceptance. This doesn't necessarily mean romantic or familial love in the conventional sense, but a broader notion of love as the driving force behind our desires, intentions, and choices. Here's a deeper look into this concept: Love as a Fundamental Human Need: Psychologists such as Abraham Maslow in his hierarchy of needs identified love and belonging as fundamental to human well-being. We seek love in various forms—whether through social connections, approval, or self-love—because it gives us a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Even actions that may appear self-serving, such as acquiring wealth or power, can often be traced back to the desire for love or validation. Love as a Source of Meaning: Many philosophers and spiritual teachers, including Carl Jung and Eckhart Tolle, argue that love is not only a fundamental force but also a key to personal growth and meaning. When we seek truth, knowledge, or success, we often do so with the intention of improving our lives and the lives of others, which is ultimately tied to our desire for deeper connection and love. Motivations for Action: Even in difficult or painful circumstances, when people act out of fear, anger, or frustration, it's often a reflection of unmet needs for love, safety, or acceptance. For example, when someone acts aggressively or defensively, it may stem from a lack of love or the fear of losing love and connection, whether that be through fear of abandonment, rejection, or isolation. The Desire for Unconditional Love: Some philosophical and spiritual teachings suggest that every action, whether consciously or unconsciously, can be seen as an attempt to return to a state of pure, unconditional love—whether that's love for oneself, for others, or even a deeper connection to the universe. In essence, this view asserts that the pursuit of love, in all its forms, is a central, underlying force that drives human actions. -- We don't do stuff primarily for survival. Survival is what happens when we are feeling disconnected from Love.

There is no more power than in a human being to love and to be loved. All we do is ultimately for this sole purpose. Exploiting this vulnerability is effective. She's probably feeling meh about her husband and projected her need for affection on the scammer.

Isn't it fun dealing with all of these unconscious psychological landmines that maps the path toward reunion of the two polarities in the relative. God's funny sense of humor. -- Just a question, have you noticed any equivalent of that one complex in a woman's psychology?

I think for him its more that he wants to deal with the new power more than a strict adhesion. @Emerald Great analogy. I was a huge Pokemon nerd and while the situation is sad and super serious, I found it wonderful to dive into these common childhood memories. I do think you are correct, there were hidden team rocket members.

I’ve never seen a better fit for the word ‘delulu’ in my entire life. He is the embodiment of candide naivety. An intentionally well-meaning person whose ability to process reality is just downright ridiculous. Spiritual bypassing combined with political illiteracy is a very sad combo to observe.

Great list... Thanks for taking the time to debunk that ridiculous 'Dovnald Trump' () myth. It’s infuriating to see a politician making his bread and butter out of fascism being painted as an agent for peace. And yet, people fall for it.

And yes, it's well known that feminists are ugly desperate harpies leftovers. It's empirically proven by pop feminist you would all known, like Taylor Swift, Emma Watson, Beyoncé and the likes. This is a 'you can't fire me I'm quitting case'. These women don't miss the loss of men that are only interested in their looks, which is the whole point. Read the room.

Watch out for your language.

Great comment. I fully agree. I've found this video which illustrate how healthy masculinity should look like. Of course, it's through a fictional character, but there is a lot to learn from it.

I blocked and cutted off from my inner circle all the male friends I have that are advocating in any shape or form against my rights two weeks ago. Had a great leftist french buddy who was a sexual consent minimiser and always came out to stand up for convincted rapists. I instead reinforced my network with men that are aware of gender problems and value collective healing. The others can get the low boundries discounted pick mes that are willing to put up with their dehumanizing nonsense.

I get that, but the path towards the goal is what doesn't excite me.

What have they put in the water in Spain during the last year? (Also no pun intended with the horrible actuality , bad time to use that expression I guess...)

I am feeling a bit uncomfortable to post Leo's erotica A.I deep fake Marcus's story () now that we laughed a bit about it . What do you think @Leo Gura ? It's rather cute.

I can see how men are taught to be resilient and keep sucking it up and move forward contributes further to the issue. No time is taken for healing as not only the problem isn't recognized, but introspecting and feeling pain is seen as unrewarding. I have seen this at play, so this is true and I agree that this is a problem. Per exemple, I have that friend whose mother has been suffering physical abuse by some guy and who overcompensated by suppressing some healthy masculinity in his upbringing because she was unconsciously afraid he would turn aggressive. As a result, his healthy anger has been suppressed and he had a propension for low boundaries, which he resented for a while. Yeah, I agree. But dominance and boundry crushing is not going to provide them the love they seek deeply within. It's very sad that they are falling for this con.

Interesting, thanks a lot for sharing. I am not surprised by these numbers.

I just rewatched this video and I think Natalie Wynn makes a lot of very interesting points. Her last conclusion is that the left needs to address masculin angst and provide an appealing solution to the masculine crisis to fix the party's bleeding. That video was made years before the election and is literally identifying a set of issues that have been key factors in Trump's election.

It's true that the book might be difficult for a beginner, and that it is very long. But I read again chapter 1 for a class I am taking two weeks ago, and I thought it was ok. What about using summaries? If you don't have the time, listening to a video like this one could maybe be not so bad. The most important are the general ideas more than reading the whole expression of it. There is also the option of listening to the audiobook.

Sorry, I forgot to address that part in the other post and I'm struggling to add the quotation. I agree that men are rarely encouraged just to be themselves and that manifest in gender performance. They'll look at diverse models of masculinities, rarely the good ones and try to emulate the formula. And I think this really suck as our current society is so abusive and manipulative that they'll look up at a lot of role models of masculinities that have been performing well, and a lot of them have been hustling their way to the top through questionable means. I'm thinking especially of guys like Andrew Tate and the likes.
