Interested in discussion of dating, marriage, and sexuality.

A lot of assuming on your part. And somehow ignoring the likelihood that the woman's behavior described would be highly influential on the man's behavior, that is, him giving Os and being a great partner. A good relationship doesn't depend only on the man's behavior.

[Happy mama @classicmamahere]

@MonicaMAlmaguer Sounds like your husband gives you O’s. As someone who works in women’s health, that is not common. Your husband probably is a great partner, also not common.

[Monica Almaguer @MonicaMAlmaguer]

Women create their own "pressure" about sex in a marriage story. She can choose a different story to tell herself like "How awesome is it I can rock this guys world with so little time and effort?" Instead she chooses the marriage killing one. DUMB!!!

[Steve Ferguson @lsferguson]

I knew the Senate would be a serious problem when they elected RINO John Thune as Majority Leader, RINO Mitch McConnell as chair of the Rules Committee and Susan Collins as chair of the Appropriations Committee. This was a massive "Fuck You" to the voters that gave them the majority. This is the fault of not only these three, but all the Republican Senators who elected them to "Leadership". @realDonaldTrump @POTUS
@SenateGOP @LeaderJohnThune @JDVance

[OKRickety @OKRickety]

I didn't portray Trump's % in any way (certainly not as "really great"), but did show it was only a bit short of 50% (a magic # for you, it seems).

I showed Obama's %, because, in spite of his immense appeal, his % was not much higher (and went down in his re-election).

[The Loris @TheLoris2]

@OKRickety Interesting that you portray Obama’s higher number as “only”, but Trump’s lower number as really great.

[OKRickety @OKRickety]

"We’re happy to move to a popular vote system in the US anytime."

You mean for President. Everything else is by popular vote (if you include ranked choice voting).

[Jenn @JenniLynn079]

We’re happy to move to a popular vote system in the US anytime. Go argue that with GOP “leadership” would ya?.
I love that you pretend the CA redistricting wasn’t in direct response to GOP strategy to redraw maps in every red state possible, to ensure they get maximum impact from minimum votes while also creating new Republican seats mid-decade. You don’t get to act like it isn’t a national strategy, simply because you didn’t have the votes to do the same in CA.
Pro tip: Telling people to shut their mouth on SM is going to get you the opposite result.

[OKRickety @OKRickety]

So Trump only had 49.81% of the vote (less than 50%).

Obama only had 52.9% and 51.1%.

[The Loris @TheLoris2]

@E_Barcohana Yeah, you’re saying that 6 million CA votes won him the popular vote nationally, and that’s an interesting brain pretzel. However, he didn’t even hit 50% on the popular vote . Presidents aren’t elected by popular vote anyway. He won despite losing the popular vote in 2016.

@VigilantFox Actually John Fetterman has named the true leader of the Democratic Party: it's TDS.

California's Glock ban was inspired by a shooting done by a violent felon, Smiley Martin, who was released from prison several years early thanks to Democrat policies.

His crime?

Domestic violence. Specifically, he beat his girlfriend's face into a bloody pulp.

Martin was sentenced to ten years for that. Newsom let him out in just four.

Democrats let a rabid animal loose, then used his predictable subsequent violent crimes as an excuse to ban the sale of Glocks.

So I believe Mr. McGuire is projecting here. Just because HIS political party regularly does favors for violent criminals, he assumes that's who Second Amendment groups are fighting for.

Not so. Criminals and domestic abusers were not why this law was struck down. If he read the court's ruling instead of grandstanding, he'd know that.

[OKRickety @OKRickety]

You've got that all mixed up. Trump (and Republican voters) primaried them because the Senators backstabber Trump.

[ClassicConservative 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 @ReturnToReagan]

It's amazing. These people expect Senators that Trump primaries to be loyal to a man that backstabbed them.

@SanDiegoKnight they were getting 0% down home loans insured by american tax dollars. it was a glut for parasites and ending this redistribution of wealth from americans to foreign scammers was long overdue.

[OKRickety @OKRickety]

I doubt it was intended as tit for tat. I think this is better:

Husbands and wives are each commanded to follow God's roles & responsibilities for them.

If you do yours, your spouse is more likely to do theirs.

[AsiLaah♻️ @MohamedAsi45086]

@jtcope4 This is a tit for tat which is not commanded in scripture.

Husbands are called to pursue his God given role and responsibility regardless of the wife's response. So are wives's.

[jcope @jtcope4]

If you want a husband who follows God’s roles and responsibilities for him,

You have to be a wife who follows hers.

And yes it works both ways. We have just been pretending one isn’t true.

[Femme @FemCondition]

"73% of men who experienced female-perpetrated violence reported that their partner threatened to make false accusations versus less than 3% of males in the general population. Among men who experience female-perpetrated violence, 56% said their female partners actually did make false accusations that he physically or sexually abused her."

False allegations are a tool for abusive women, and we need to understand this. Abused men need protection.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:

“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”

And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.

But later I realized something:

That question was not exposing Christianity.

It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.

Because the real question is not:

“Why would God become weak?”

The real question is:

“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”

Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.

But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.

And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.

It became proof of love.

If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.

If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.

If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.

He entered it Himself.

Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.

Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.

And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.

That changed everything for me.

Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.

Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.

And no prophet in history ever claimed that.

A recent survey revealed that women are 12x more likely to say they would not marry someone who earns less money than them.

For decades we’ve shamed men out of having any gender expectations for women. But do women get to have their cake and eat it, too?
https://t.co/4cEx0hWOhf

[Jake Kozloski @jakozloski]

Asked if they'd marry "down" on three axes, women say no far more than men, every time:
earns less — women 12x more likely to refuse
less intelligent — 6x
less educated — 4x

"Marrying down" is a near-dealbreaker for women and a non-issue for men. Consistent across all three.

@draloneboy Based on the scrolling text at the bottom, thats not breaking news.

Thats an old clip. Why are you a liar?

[bryan @BasedInYoFace]

@draloneboy I’m so sick and tired of hearing the Epstein survivors “will” release their own list of names. What tf are they waiting for? By the time the names are released half of these old pedophile creeps will already be dead. Release the names immediately!

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

🚨 Astonishingly, Henry Nowak’s murderer would walk around the office of the accountancy firm he worked at openly wearing a large dagger.

Imagine you walked into an office and a white accountant was walking around with a large deadly weapon.

You would call the police immediately.

Instead, his employers declared him their “brightest young talent”.

This is the two tier society Britain has become, where everyone is so afraid of being labelled ‘racist’ this sort of madness occurs.

Reform will end it. One law for all.

[Tradvocate @TradAdvocate]

A century ago, Christian young women were taught that virginity before marriage was the normal, expected, honorable path - and that sex was the crown of the wedding night, not a weekday entertainment. Today most Christian young women have had multiple sexual partners by 22, attend church on Sunday, and never hear a pastor name what that actually is.

It is fornication. The Bible calls it that plainly. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 names it as a sin against your own body. Hebrews 13:4 says the marriage bed is to be kept pure. These are not obscure verses. They are the baseline for how Christians are supposed to live.
