@pinkleftygirl I agree but most women still want children.

I think we should give mothers way more tax incentives, particularly more educated high-flying women.

I’m British though, FYI. Before Americans burn me in fire.

@dadstartingover Half of the fix is young women need to start making themselves regularly and consistently available somewhere they can meet young men.

Men can’t solve that.

[James @JamessMusings]

Oversimplification.

If you aren’t in the top 20% of men, you need to get to know her a bit and wear her down. She isn’t going to bite on a one-off meeting with an average guy.

The lives of young men and young women just don’t overlap much anymore; there are few places you can meet single women.

Bouldering, running clubs, and hiking groups are the best though but usually it’s the same old faces. This is also controversial with a lot of women as a lot of them hate these, hiking especially.

Dance classes can work if you’re good at dancing.

Dating events generally only work for the top 20% as you’ll never see her again after that. Most guys realise this, hence the reason the events tend to be woman heavy.

Women have made it socially unacceptable to approach them (outside of friendship) in the vast majority of places.

Dating at work is generally frowned upon and many of us work remotely anyway.

The standards demanded by the average modern woman have gone through the roof and are unrealistic. There are not enough top 20% men to go around and they commonly refuse to bat lower.

Women are also posting lots of vile content about men on social media. Lots of men aren’t liking what they see and have consequently quit chasing. The veil has been lifted on how the average female brain works. Those of us still dating have this in the back of our minds.

The social contract for marriage is arguably overly favourable to women. Generally, we support more financially but everything else is 50-50. I’ve personally met too many 50+ year old men with nothing substantial to their name.

The female hive mind has been deciding what is socially acceptable for women; men don’t get a say. Consequently, many women have made themselves absolutely repulsive and low value to men. Young men don’t want people that have slept around and done OF.

Dating apps are a drag for everyone.

The top 20% of men are fucking the women around and playing with them, so there’s bitterness about that on the women’s side.

This is not exclusively a man problem. Women are just as much, if not more, part of the problem.

Woman will suffer just as much when they don’t get to start families, face increased financial pressures, and experience loneliness in old age.

@zatzi As a millennial, I think most of us have been told Thatcher = bad and have never questioned it.

Lots of almost religious levels of hatred for Thatcher up here in the North, as well.

Undoing Thatcherism as a slogan will appeal to much of the population.

Economic collapse is coming, we are on the brink…the only question is when. Spending, borrowing and taxation levels are totally unsustainable and all the increased money is having ZERO positive benefit on ANY area of society.

Total government spending was £889 billion in yr 19/20, last year 25/26 it was £1.368 Trillion. That’s almost a £480bn increase and i defy you to identify a single solitary part of this country that has improved even 1% in that period. An as of today we promote a smiling idiot into the top job who will INCREASE the spending, the debt and the borrowing. Total fucking insanity.

House prices need to come down or we will have a peasants revolt on our hands soon.

The median Brit can no longer afford to own a house, in much of the country, on a single income.

It’s creating a generation of poor socialists.

I know you will be long gone but what are we going to do when a generation of people that don’t own their own home retire?

I think the USA is a much better long-term bet. They haven’t been infested with socialism so badly.

I believe in Europe, in the next few decades, we’ll start seeing the rise of fascists/socialists/commis, unless we start fixing things fast. If any one of those rise, your life saving might be gone over night.

Too many people have become reliant on failing socialist systems in Europe.

Europe is in a death loop where people need socialist systems to survive but if we tax people anymore we’re going to screw up the economy.

Europe should have never set the expectation that people’s pension/healthcare/income protection was the state’s problem.

Try other autistic people with the same background or interests. You need something more in common than autism. If you’re high functioning/high IQ, low functioning/low IQ won’t click.

Get closer to your family.

Get better at masking and socialise with NTs, if it’s not too exhausting.

Other than that, just please yourself. Everyone is pleasing themself.

Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.

@OCAgbese @angeldevenganza Why would you put a lot of effort and meaning to meet someone for the first time?

You have zero connection or feelings.

Stop pandering to the wrong sort of woman. If they say no to a coffee date immediately unmatch and move on.

Pandering to them constantly is half the problem.

[James @JamessMusings]

@RealBlakeOwen @angeldevenganza Don’t listen. These are materialistic women not worth dating.

Labour won the 2024 general election on the votes of only 20 percent of the registered electorate, gaining a “landslide” only because of the unique fracture of the party system.

The one-in-five who actually voted Labour carried the day only because the Tories stayed at home or voted for Reform, leaving Labour to garner 9,708,716 votes compared with the 13,966,454 votes gained by the Tories in 2019 (which dropped to 6,828,925 in 2024).

It is instructive to note that, in the 2019 general election, Corbyn took 10,269,051 votes and lost the election, compared with Labour in 2024 who actually polled fewer votes but still won – with the Tory vote having more than halved.

And now, from a man who wasn't even an MP in 2024, is - on the basis of no electoral mandate at all - declares that the country is “crying out for a new politics”, which he is set to deliver.

Burnham is an imposter and a charlatan. He has no right to govern and no authority to deliver change.

My son is training to become a police officer in the UK, but he isn’t progressive enough.

He failed this question on his exam: “A group of Pakistani immigrants housed in a 5-star hotel is found to have raped 43 girls. What is your reaction?”

He answered that the police should thoroughly investigate and prosecute those guilty.

The correct answer, apparently, is to deploy police to the hotel to protect the immigrants, monitor social media and arrest anyone who mentions race or religion, tell the victims not to speak up, and ask the Prime Minister to deliver a speech praising Islam’s contributions to British society.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Wolfgang

1/ This is the most important post I have ever written.

England is arresting 30 people a day for posting things on social media the government does not like.

30 people. Every single day. That is 12,000 arrests a year. For speech.

Not threats. Not violence. Not crimes. Just opinions. Posts. Shares. Likes. Things the government decided are unacceptable.

But here is the question nobody is asking.

Why only 30 people a day?

Do you really think there are only 30 people a day in England saying things the government does not like? In a country of 67 million people?

Of course not. There are thousands. Tens of thousands. Maybe hundreds of thousands.

So why are they only arresting 30?

[David Frost @DavidGHFrost]

Only one phrase matters in Burnham's speech today.

"Britain took a series of wrong-turns in the 1980s."

Anyone who thinks that simply does not understand what happened in Britain's recent history and why, and is therefore doomed to fail to solve our problems. 👇

@KarolineGosling Had an obese 3/10 acquaintance tell me she wants a rich husband. Her apartment wasn’t clean and she can’t cook worth a damn. Obese cat as well.

Also wants men to pay for dates.

Can get casual sex, of course.
