@redaction It’s probably my favorite supplement ever, and I could sleep through a nuclear explosion on magnesium nights. I alternate between magnesium and progesterone for two weeks each. Both make me soo sleepy
@3DrakaiNa “I’m just gonna post this borderline soft porn with suggestive hand movements and a trad wife dress to a website full of pervs and pretend to be coy 🤭🤭🤭”
@erhglm_ I’ve never used sunscreen and my skin is perfect. What causes sun aging is seed oils oxidizing in your skin during intense sun exposure, and dehydration causing a disruption of the skin barrier.
I don’t understand the psychology of this but it works. Up to a certain point… after you’ve established a connection with someone, I think it’s silly to play hard to get. It’s off putting if men aren’t available enough to create a relationship with. That’s not to be confused with making yourself too available or needy, those are both behaviors that kill attraction. For me at least
@SIGMAPROFESSOR Interesting too that lowering the baseline of beauty standards and collectively tolerating ugliness has aligned with the deterioration of our culture.
@T_Ravz Yeah I used to fit wigs and extensions at the salon I worked at, and after a while you can just tell what a wig looks like. No baby hairs either
@EbenDuke Not a valid argument and it doesn’t invalidate point. But a fair observation, and you probably just reinforced why women don’t need sexual liberation. That said, a flattering pfp doesn’t make someone a grifter. I’m not profiting or soliciting anything.
Feminism hasn’t failed. It’s accomplished exactly what it was intended to do. Solving this might actually be out of women’s control at this point. And I’d argue that it’s not necessarily, or at least strictly, women’s fault. You can’t blame women for female nature. Women aren’t the ones who gave women rights. It’s going to get a lot worse before enough women wake up to reality. I think we may have to surrender our rights, and unless the system itself changes, women aren’t going to do that because we have the state to fall back on. It hurts, and I don’t blame men for their hesitancy in committing to marriage. It’s like Russian roulette.
Almost every woman over 30 I’ve spoken to in the past few years feels some version of the same thing: feminism has failed us somewhere along the way, and made men increasingly passive, hesitant, and unwilling to take initiative. How do we course-correct from here?
I’m going to strongly disagree here. Women’s suffrage was pushed first for a reason. Of course things seemed fine for decades. Each subsequent wave hit a new generation of unsuspecting women, and this was imperative to complete the process.
First give women the right to vote, then give their daughters and granddaughters an inferiority complex, dismantle the home, give them sexual liberation, push them into men’s work spaces, and give them legal protections. All of those required first that women could vote AND would be alienated enough from societal norms that they would be the ones advocating for the change.
The final wave has served to marginalize white straight men and hit a generation of girls perfectly primed to respond positively to it. It had to happen in this order. Women gaining the right to vote was the foundation and without it none of this would be possible.
Retail therapy works because the acquisition of something scarce triggers a surge of dopamine in the brain’s reward center. My theory here is that it correlates with women’s berry gathering days. Women are wired to collect resources. Shopping maybe hijacks that instinct?
Scarcity marketing is particularly effective at seducing women. Limited edition drops, for example. The reseller market has made this even worse. People will buy something just to resell, worsening the scarcity problem. The brand profits because they know they’ll sell out, and this is almost exclusively a phenomenon in women’s fashion and pop culture collectibles. But now influencers are creating brands and selling limited edition items. Men aren’t buying this garbage. It’s women.
Probably why women are notoriously bad with money management.
I don’t think women crave drama necessarily? Our nervous systems just need an occasional shock, it’s instinctive for female nature and almost universal. However, I’ve noticed that the women who start drama aren’t necessarily on the lower IQ side, their baseline cortisol is just higher which throws off hormones and adrenaline. They’re literally seeking adrenaline in the way that people with low protein intake crave sugar, it’s a cycle.
In the case of men feeding into it, that is absolutely low IQ. Men can easily shut it down. The ones who give the drama crave adrenaline themselves and that’s a terrible way to live.
