@Hulia Tbh, I subscribed to Teal Swan, just for shits and giggles. And watched that masculine containment video, just to see if there was anything valuable there at all. At first she seemed to make good points, I was like ok, maybe I can incorporate that somehow into my life. But then she started to list examples of masculine containment. And I couldn't make it to the end? like, sister, you are delusional if you think any man should do this bucket list of yours on a daily basis. Does she really expect bussy, high value men have time for that shit?? it's like.... wake the fuck up lol. I remember what one woman on this forum said specifically when talking about spliting, or not spliting the bill. One of her arguments for men paying for everything was "let's face it, some men have only a few women interested in them, whereas woman on a date has mostly 50+ guys interested in her. So, why should woman pay her half? He's lower value than her, he should pay for everything." There you go, that right there tells me everything about their mentality. Me, me, me.

@Hulia I think it's bastardization of concept of femininity. Feminine= fragile, emotional, feels the need to be protected and dominated by the masculine, takes care and nurishes new life. That, however, doesn't mean a man is supposed to be your personal utility and credit card. Man is not supposed to be your daddy. Regarding the fascination, hehehe I don't know honestly. But I can understand why women would addopt this as their strategy, that's pretty understandable for me. The thing is, women almost always have choices and options, regardless of how good, or shit their personalities are. So, for a woman that's somewhat attractive and already in her 30's/40's, it's very easy to make a simple calculation of 2+2=4. Hey, I can make my standards very high, and simultaneously not lose any options. Seems like win-win. And then when you ask them what exactly do they bring to the table, the answer is ussually me, my great personality, and sex. Ehm, ok. I guess I'll turn down 20 year old who's giving me "I want to fuck you" eyes, just so I can become credit card to a 40 year old. Sounds like a great deal.

@Hulia I think that fundamental problem with Teal Swan, is the problem of having too many requirements of how should relationships work, to the point where it becomes too perfect. I think there's something to be said about standards that are set too high. For both men and women. It almost seems like you are some sort of prize, and other people should fit your standards to get you. It's like an invisible, egoistic barier. But, if we are being honest here, when we take into account what we as men generally like, is Teal Swan really high value and sought after? Can she really consider herself to be a prize, when she's already visibly aging? I think not. From my observation, the most attractive women are the ones who are fun, friendly, uninhibited, young, physically attractive, who are comfortable with expressing their sexuality, and have standards but simultaneously not too high standards, it doesn't feel like you're dealing with a queen who you need to bow before lol. How many of those things Teal Swan posseses? Maybe two?? of course I'm talking about sexual attraction here, not so much about relationship value, with which women on this forum seem to obsess about.

@Javfly33 What do you want to achieve by making this topic? The way you framed it, we can either: a) agree that you are fundamentally unnatractive, therefore you should just wallow in self pitty, b) agree that you being unatractive is simply due to your behavour, and that you can change your situation. But either way, what's that gonna help? Who cares what some members of the forum think? They mean nothing to your real life experience. So, what you should do is just go out, be social and try to make yourself attractive. Even if it doesn't work out, it's still better than asking meaningless questions to a bunch of strangers who don't know your exact situation.

Wow, I didn't even know such a thing existed. Water fasting? That seems a little extreme.

@Chew211 That's nicely explained. Seems like a lot of societal problems nowadays have to do with survival of capitalism.

I'd say casual sex is fine, as long as you don't overdo it. In my observation, women, but also men who have had many sex partners were trying to fill some sort of hole inside of themselves. It's ironic, but especially women were trying to find love throught casual sex. Which of course, doesn't make sense, but it doesn't have to. It's fine, as long you treat it as new experience. But once it becomes your source of happiness, that's when it becomes problematic.

Right. Of course. We should teach body language and non verbal cues, instead of this retarded consent bullshit. Just don't be douchebag and don't be retarded, and you won't rape. Simple. Right. But this is more of a relationship thing. If it's just a quick hookup and girl is horny af, she ussually just wants you to f her hard, expecting you know what you're doing. Not asking like a clueless boy. Nice way to not adress my point at all. Which is pretty common for you anyways.

@Etherial Cat I don't necessarilly have a problem with that definition, except the "ongoing" part. Which is just fucking ridicilous lol. You really expect men to ask for consent all the time? That's like the ultimate mood killer for women.

Yes before what? Before a kiss? And how many times should a guy ask for consent? Is it just a one time thing, or is it "ok, can I touch your boobs now?" This shit truly fascinates me? on one hand, you are told to always ask for consent, on the other hand you are shamed for being a pussy if you do so. I guess you just can't win, can you? Lol

@Andrew John Should all fear be transcended? It is what keeps us all alive after all.

@Raf_vd well, then we have backed ourselves into a corner, haven't we? You clearly only have 2 options: leave relationship or try to work on your cravings. That however, is problematic because in order for a need to dissapear, generally you need to try to fulfill it first. Only once you've fully realized your need, can you begin to cleanse yourself off it. But you clearly deep inside feel like you've cheated yourself from opportunities with more women by being in long term relationship. The reason you have limited options is because your partner is insecure. Maybe you should talk to her anyways. It's still probably the best option you got. You also have the option to cheat, but that would be cowardly. I believe you can do better than that.

How about communicating it to your girlfriend? I know that's a very uncomfortable thing to do, but maybe she'll be open minded enough to entertain that idea. Trying to supress that craving won't make it go away. It's a lot better option than cheating.

@4201 damn, that's brutal lol

Well, I wouldn't say that's foundation. True foundation is survival value you can provide to her life. Women don't wanna be fucked by any man, they wanna be fucked by high value guy.

@Harlen Kelly True. But then again, literaly any approach is better than nice guy approach.

@integral I feel like there's some guys who are gonna take you literaly and be like "alright, I'm just gonna lift weights and be a dick. Hey bitch, what's up?"?

@Heart of Space I mean, I saw examples of guys who said it worked, and gained couple of inches of girth and lenght, also examples of guys that said it didn't work, and injured themselves instead. I'd say if you don't overdo it, you shouldn't get injured. It's kinda like lifting weights, you can get hurt if you lift too much weight. Question is, does it really work? Kegels are proven to work in preventing prostate cancer and premature ejaculation, but noone really cares about jelquing and stretching. I guess no scientist finds it important enough to examine it.

It's interesting seeing gay dudes insecure about dick size, I thought that it's mainly a problem in heterosexual population. Looks like I was wrong

@Marco Rossi does it actually work? I know about jelquing, stretching, kegels and stuff like that, I've also read about it in some books, but I'm still quite sceptical. Not that I particulary need it, just find it interesting. Scientists tend to say it's impossible to enlarge your penis because penis doesn't exactly work as a muscle.

@modmyth Interesting. Just goes to show women go about showing interest very different than men.

You'd probably have to wait a few days before getting couple of matches. If you are attractive guy and your photos are cool and done profesionaly, that is. If not, good luck with getting matches on an app where physical appearance is the first thing a woman will judge you by.

Yes. Next question.

Is that the excuse to not get laid? Working at McDonalds? Lmao there are plenty of broke dudes who get hot women. Not saying that it's OK to be broke, you should do well for yourself regardless of women, but you can't let that stop you. Also, who even are these dudes in the video? How many women have they slept with? What experience do they have? I guarantee that it's not much, considering that they spread these bullshit redpill theories. BrOkE dUdEs CaN't GeT hOt GiRlS. Lol give me a break.

@Arcangelo how nihilistic of you
