If nightgame is about looks - why have I never gotten any results out of it, but get great results with online dating?

That’s one way to disappear, but I highly doubt it would do me any good!

Well, I'm optimistic that one day, I might have everything in it’s right place. Could be because I've finally learned how to disappear completely…

Spending the first five years of my adult life at home, smoking weed and listening to Radiohead, sure didn’t give me an advantage. I’ll give you that!

Weird. I’ve never had any trouble like this when I’ve been going out. Guys have actually been really friendly to me when I’ve hit on their girlfriend… It should be mentioned that I’ve been completely unsuccessful with nightgame, so it could be that I’m just not a threat to them. I also have a very non-threatening appearance, I think.

Left, right—doesn't matter. As long as it’s authoritarian!

It’s also interesting that the majority of people who lived in East Germany thought that life was better under communism, when they were asked in 2009. https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/homesick-for-a-dictatorship-majority-of-eastern-germans-feel-life-better-under-communism-a-634122.html

Not sure who you’re talking to here, but when I say «attractive,» I don’t mean appearance. At least not only…

Absolutely.

Compared to men? Yes, they are. Of course. There almost aren't any.

Women have it easier these days, yes, but you know what? It’s completely fair. While women grow up developing social skills and spend ridiculous amounts of money on beauty products to be as attractive as possible, what do men do? We play video games, watch anime, and stay indoors during our upbringing, having no interest in developing social skills until one day we suddenly realize we’re horny and need a woman. Then we of course find out that we aren’t attractive enough, get super offended and blame women for having too high standards…

A great body isn’t just appearance. It requires hard work and character to achieve. You’re likely to become the average of your friends and you want friends that inspire you rather than the opposite.

I simply cannot resist posting this when there is an active coffee thread up: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/07/drinking-coffee-may-reduce-risk-of-suicide-by-50/ «Drinking several cups of coffee daily appears to reduce the risk of suicide in men and women by about 50 percent» https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/decades-of-research-shows-coffee-makes-you-healthier-happier-but-if-you-want-to-boost-your-energy-level-memory-theres-a-7-day-catch.html «Coffee can reduce your risk of cancer up to 20 percent, your risk of type 2 diabetes by 30 percent, and your risk of Parkinson's disease by 30 percent. A study published in Circulation found that coffee can reduce the risk of stroke by 20 percent. A study of over 260,000 people conducted by the NIH found that people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day were nearly 10 percent less likely to become depressed than those who drank none.»

What about Yugoslavia under Tito’s regime?

It's pretty obvious when you don't get enough sleep, no matter how often it happens. The body and mind get pretty dysfunctional and it's almost impossible to have a good day. That's how it is for me at least. Just because you can't get any more sleep, does not mean that you've had enough of it.

By «even out in the long run», I meant that women and men are just as often single in their 40’s and in their 50’s women are more often single. It’s pretty similar in the 30’s too. This might not be the case in the future though…

Aha, that’s good! For me, there were two things missing in my life: A relationship and a job/study.

He’s probably talking about young people. 63% of men under 30 are single while only 34% of women are. It will even out in the long run, so patience is key.

Sounds like you’re depressed. This is exactly how it has been for me for the past three years, until this summer.

You don't need Leo to figure that out…

«America has done a lot of evil shit. But fighting Communism was a net good. This is the most correct thing that conservatives did in the 20th century.» Maybe I misunderstand, but I disagree here. It’s pure luck that the world didn’t end as a consequence of this.

Nothing. I just gave this «humor» thing a shot.

When I went to secondary school, I had an «All Hope Is Gone» shirt, after the Slipknot album. This was at a time when the worst thing you could be was an emo. I would say it worked out surprisingly well. I don’t even have to use the handicap toilet today.

When you have so many issues that you are too weak and dysfunctional to handle the fact that there are a few women on a forum, there’s probably no hope of ever having a good life.

My impression is that the view of morality is one of the areas where people, especially in the West, are the least developed. People seem to be very stuck in Stage Blue here and seem pretty terrified of the idea that morality is completely relative.
