I'm sorry, I don't see how this is related to what I said. I agree with you, but this seems more like a general reply to OP than a reply to me. Perhaps I need to clarify. My point was that if OPs instinct upon talking to a stranger with a different opinion is to make a forum post criticising them as a person, OP should reflect on why they feel the need to do that. If OP had phrased this topic as a matter of how important matching opinions are when dating, like you did, I think that would probably be more productive. However OP phrased it using lots of negative and judgemental terms like 'bossy girls', 'hugely unattractive', 'bossy and opinionated', 'are the worst', 'very annoying' 'have to deal with' etc. which to me indicate OP should reflect on why they feel so negatively affected by this scenario.

He is being charged with rape, human trafficking, and trafficking minors. The legal issue isn't the webcam business itself but how he was misleading, recruiting, transporting, and controlling the girls for it. He was also using them to scam men out of millions too which adds to the illegality. It doesn't seem like the way that Tate was running his webcam business was legal at all.

Why do you think it is that you did not just take this in your stride? And why did you feel the urge to make a forum post about it? It sounds to me like a fairly minor interaction that can be boiled down to "I spoke to someone with a different opinion than me"

It's not like pent-up sexual energy has ever made anyone more angry, more impulsive, and more aggressive, right?? That would never happen /s What works for you may not work for others.

Yes but he only owns 50% of the business because it's shared with his brother, so if there is a 40% net profit he only really gets 20% of that. Sorry, I worded that quite confusingly but that was the point I was trying to make. They are all multi-millionaires in their respective fields. They aren't gonna do that shit for free, or cheap.

$1m net profit margin to Tate on $5m in sales would be a 40% net profit margin split 50/50 with his brother. 40% is a very very high net margin, it's likely nowhere near that because he has to pay all of those millionaire tutors a good chunk of it. They aren't gonna do that shit for free for him and they will command a high price.

Your posts here are evidence to the contrary. Almost all of them are negatively framed, many of them threatening violence or aggression.

according to tate* As far as I can tell that figure of $355m came from him. Kanye West's net worth is around $400m for comparison. Connor McGregor, the world's highest paid MMA athlete is worth $200m. The idea that Tate would be anywhere close to those celebrities' worth from a webcam business, some low level casinos, and a course where he pays millionaires extraordinary amounts of money to pedal you his propaganda seems very unlikely. His $50/month courses probably made him the most money. Assume they make $5m per month in revenue with 100,000 members (listed on their website, which again is self-reported and is very likely BS), he has to pay 10+ millionaires stupid amounts of money to build his courses and to tutor, he has to pay for server costs, developers, marketing, and then split the remaining profits 50/50 with his brother. And then pay tax on that. I'd be very surprised if he saw anywhere even close to $1m/month of that money at the end.

What is your reason for believing this?

Women are generally attracted to men who lead, men who know what they want, and men who aren't pushovers. You don't need to be a psychopathic violent criminal in order to have these traits. Being nice/considerate superficially in order to get sex as a reward is repulsive to women because it shows a lack of authenticity, lack of confidence and lack of strength. She intuitively knows that you will stop being nice to her once you get what you want. Genuine niceness is actually very attractive to women if it's paired with stability, confidence, strength, humour and other masculine traits. If you are struggling with women you should try developing those traits. Move towards becoming a stable, confident and interesting man rather than becoming a violent and aggressive criminal.

I remember reading somewhere that he was estimated to be making around $5m per year from hustlers university at his peak. Assuming that's even after tax, it would be pretty unlikely that he'd be so rich from that kind of income that he can afford to donate $25m to charity. Even if he had another $5-10m/year on top of that from his illicit activities in the past like the cam business it still seems unrealistic he'd have so much money that he could afford to donate $25m. Especially with how lavish and expensive his lifestyle is. The Romanian police put his net worth at around $10 million.

Whenever he talks about wanting to save men, how much he cares about men, how his life goal is to help men etc. just remember that he ran a business scamming men out of millions for many years. Actions speak louder than words.

"25 million WILL be donated this year" So, he hasn't donated it yet. And likely never will. I notice in your title you wrote 'donated' implying it's already been done which is very misleading. That's either intentional or you misunderstood his tweet. As far as I know 25m is more than his entire net worth. Tate is known as a chronic liar, I don't know why you believe him on this. AND Even if he does donate to charity, it doesn't absolve him of his crimes.

I’d rather work for minimum wage than be in a Romanian prison for 20 years

I can understand why you feel the way you do now. That's a pretty bad night. But it is just one night. It also sounds like these were people who weren't really that great, who you didn't feel particularly comfortable around, which can create a bad experience. If you're with good people in good clubs when you're feeling good in life, most of the issues you experienced there are quite rare. It took me maybe 4 visits to a club before I really started to enjoy myself. If it's a foreign environment so your body panics the first few times and makes you feel quite uncomfortable. But pushing through that is where the growth comes from if you're not someone who naturally parties.

I also had quite bad anxiety about dancing. One thing I noticed helped me learn to relax and move with the music at clubs was to close my eyes and almost pretend I was the only one there. It also makes it easier to get deeply intune with the music which helps too.

It's somewhat counterintuitive. If you are pumping out trained and rehearsed dance moves at a night club or party, you actually look more like a tryhard, it can be quite cringy. You don't look cool. Clubs and parties aren't about dancing skill as much as they are about letting lose and having fun. If you're doing some rehearsed dancing on a club dance floor it better be eyewateringly impressive or you will just look like you're trying too hard to impress people. That said, I would imagine many of those who have learnt to dance would be better at letting loose and moving with the music at a club than someone who hasn't, so I do agree with you that dancing classes could help. Just not by teaching you specific moves. To be honest, any kind of physical activity helps you. I notice doing martial arts helped me a lot, not because it taught be specific moves but because it taught me how to feel into my body better and to physically relax.

Out of curiosity, have you ever been to a party and if you have, what was your experience there like?

Yea, if all you do is party you’re fucked Having a stick up your ass is not good either however. As with everything balance is key I think that being able to relax into your body, let loose, and have fun with others is a deeply human experience which for most people is unhealthy to be completely deprived of.

How? And that's not entirely related to the main point of discussion anyway, the point I am making is that it seems unfair to claim confidently that progressive states create a worse homeless situation when the issue is very hard to quantify accurately because so many factors play into it.

So homeless people in right leaning states migrate to left leaning states because they get treated better? That easily could contribute to the stat that progressive states have more homeless people, but it doesn't mean that those progressive states are actually creating more homeless people. This is actually a pretty good example of what I said in my last post:

That's something you need to back up. Just because left leaning states have higher homeless population doesn't mean much. Correlation is not causation. In this case, most big cities in the US are left leaning, and located in left leaning states. Lots of things play into this that don't make it a simple relationship between 'more progressive = more homeless'.

Look up the CallMeCarson story if you want another example of this. Dude was absolutely crucified as a pedophile for talking sexually online to (or as media stories put it “grooming”) a 17 year old fan when he was 19. A lot of comments I read about his case were people who genuinely thought he was pure evil for what he did. I almost thought I was going insane reading how angry people were at him for that.

Your argument for “a man’s morality not being a defining factor in his attractiveness because criminals have a love life” could be analogous to saying that “a woman’s weight is not a defining factor in her attractiveness because there are overweight girls who have a love life.” Just because some woman are happy to overlook a man’s morality does not prove that all, or even most, are willing to. To me, the rest of your post sounds quite baseless and speculative. What actual experiences and proof do you have that morality/comfort/trustworthiness are not important traits for a man’s attractiveness? I’m not saying whether they are or aren’t, I’m undecided on it. I can see both sides. But you sound very confident so I’m curious to know what you are basing that confidence on.
