@DearS_o_n As a man, you don’t have inherent value - you must build it. Constantly. Hence, get serious, get results,
and stop talking sh*t. Speaking of which:
Know your sh*t (competence)
Have your sh*t together (discipline)
Own your sh*t (accountability)
Master this and you’ll thrive.
@PsycheWizard Simple fact: Bitterness contracts your body and lets you
focus, sweetness softens your body and distracts you.
Lesson: If you want coffee with sugar, it's not coffee you
want; you crave a dessert.
@PhilosophyMonk How you think is how you choose to think, and how you
feel is how you choose to feel.
I guess it's called mindfulness: having boundaries and
choosing which thoughts and influences you let into
your life.
@Dearme2_ My guess:
Top-tier men: Risk assessment. They see marriage
stripped of loyalty, loaded with risk, and designed to
drain them. Why sign up for slavery?
Average men: Hypergamy. Women chase the top 10%,
leaving the rest invisible. So average men check out
entirely.
@UncleSamGlobal Some will call it "beta bucks, alpha fu**s". Jack made her an "alpha widow". Rose continues to idealize him and long for him as her “best” man ever, no matter how loving her (of screen) husband is. As a result, she will always struggle to fully bond or feel truly satisfied.
@icesky4i@JOKAQARMY1 If you use them do it with a clear head. Whenever I
browse the mainstream media, I find myself asking:
What is the narrative today?
What ideology are they pushing, and
what is their current agenda?
It’s kind of entertaining once you start noticing the patterns of deceit.
@Rothmus Speaking of (not) following the rules: This reminds me of an asian girl who tried to enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem wearing ultra-short shorts, a sheer spaghetti-strap top, and - no joke - an inflatable duck swim ring. "You are not getting in like that!"
@DurableMLecture Seven years, 43 tries?!?
He didn’t win her heart with an enthusiastic “yes” -
he wore down her resistance until she probably finally said, “Fine, just stop asking.”
@SeekWiser_ Until death,
Most boundaries are imaginary,
Most limits are negotiable,
And every defeat is just psychological.
Try, fail, get up, repeat, get better, succeed.
@RealDonKeith Some people have impulse control and can emotionally
self-regulate even in the face of a heated debate, while
others cannot and refuse to take accountability when
they lash out.
@tfJuIy A man's currency is respect. First and foremost. That
was pure disrespect. Disrespecting the wrong person is
often a fast track to the ER - or worst. Kudos to the man
for not reacting (too) impulsively. We know how the
media would’ve framed this...
@_SuccessMinded_ When some people realize
you are not going to side with them,
they will make sure
that others do not side with you either.
The easiest way to achieve this:
character assassination.
