If you support peace and oppose all non-defensive violence (e.g. murder, rape, slavery, etc.), retweet this, and I will follow you. 🙂

I am always happy to be connected with fellow peace lovers.

Why are most 80-year-old men more attracted to women in their 20s at peak fertility rather than post-menopausal women their own age?

Why do many women tend to be more attracted to and turned on by so-called "bad boys" than so-called "nice guys"?

Why do so many people eat to the point of morbid obesity and then still hungrily crave more calories, overeating to death?

If I had to answer all three questions in one single word, it would be: evolution.

What are the most difficult additions to hide? (e.g. cutting, food addiction, etc.)

Yes. Large population studies and meta-analyses show a clear negative correlation: lower IQ is linked to higher rates of violent behavior and perpetration, especially impulsive violence. The pattern holds after adjusting for demographics and other factors, though many influences are involved and it is not deterministic.

[Eckhart Aurelius Hughes @EckhartAurelius]

If you are going to read between the lines when communicating with someone you think you might disagree with, only do it to steelman your interlocutor, and even then be very careful and ask sincere questions rather than making accusations. Otherwise, you will be strawmaning.

In other words, if what a person explicitly said is more reasonable and/or accurate than what you would be accusing them of implying/insinuating, then the latter is almost always a strawman and always a lack of using the Philosophical Principle of Charity.

[Eckhart Aurelius Hughes @EckhartAurelius]

Anyone whining about the troubles of having a high IQ is probably sub 100

Otherwise, they would use their problem-solving skills to solve their problem

On the "dead bedrooms" issue...

Expecting your wife to have sex with you when there aren't plenty of other women who want to is psychopathic at best.

It takes a lot to be attractive as a man, because it's about a lot more than just looks and staying in shape, but many men don't even bother with that.

I'm not saying cheat. But rather: make it so the reason you don't cheat is because you are so self-disciplined and honest, not because you are so unattractive and uncharming you lack the option.

"Siya and the Coral Reef Rescue" by Bruce Mangum

[Eckhart Aurelius Hughes @EckhartAurelius]

Many self-described incels claim society will fall apart if women aren't forced to mate with them.

As a peace-supporter and freedom-lover, I don't support either option at at all. But, if I had to choose between the two, I'd rather forcefully neuter the below average males who can't find a willing mate than force women to mate with them.

[rob white @RobWhiteMedia]

The universe is not judging or calculating or loving or hating you. It is a vast, neutral mirror. If you want to feel loved by existence, you must first be loving. If you approach life with an open heart and give love freely, love will reflect back to you.

I don’t like the term “incel” because it’s a voluntary state. A video-game-addicted broke obese loser living in his mom’s basement with no social skills who has never even taken a public speaking class could easily turn his life around and then find an attractive woman to date.

I prefer the term “horngry”, like hangry but for unrequited horniness instead of hunger

Instead of “incels”, I suggest we call them horngers.

Voluntary horngers.

If a phone-addicted pothead teenager who hasn’t graduated high school and still lives in his mommy’s basement could do the job, it doesn’t need to pay a living wage
