@Max_ODrive @riemeals @catssillyworld I think a much better metric would be for people under 14 rather than over, if you're trying to see the effects of the dept of education. You're likely counting a lot of adults who received their primary education outside of this country in languages other than English
@KindaSortaMaebe@starfader "I dont think guys can be secure in their personality and insecure in their looks." Honestly, if this is how he reacted after 2.5 years, then she spent 2.5 years doing a poor job of making him feel physically attractive.
@ividboy@KindaSortaMaebe Yeah, especially if they put in a "just". Like "I wouldn't just want to hook up with you, but I would wanna marry you." When you say it like that it implies marriage is something better, further, and beyond hooking up. The way she phrased it makes them sound unrelated
@KGB_Bykov@BestLuluWelt@KindaSortaMaebe@ZicaLaser Good luck finding someone who makes you feel heard. If you want someone who doesn't have feelings, you'd better not have any of your own, because they are not going to be able to understand, relate, or respect yours (if you have any)
@Afraz_9n3@KindaSortaMaebe@ZicaLaser Sounds like men are reading what she actually wrote, and women are inserting the word "Just" when it was never there to begin with.
@KindaSortaMaebe@ZicaLaser I think you are failing to find empathy for someone whose partner hurt them, and are blaming the man for having the feelings that she has hurt.
@Srawsome@KindaSortaMaebe It's not the fact that she's saying he *is* marriage material. It's the fact that she's saying he *isnt* hookup material. And what makes someone hookup material? Sexual attraction. He is perceiving a lack of sexual attraction from his partner and feeling hurt, how about empathy.
@ControlledNeo Nah, the more men they've been with the lower the bar gets set. If they've been with no one they won't realize how much worse other guys are. Have some confidence, man. I feel like I'm a better partner than 99% of men. If you don't, that's on you, work on yourself.
@campersauce @HMBrough_ No, we are living in an age where people hook up with and have one night stands with people they are sexually attracted to. It's not the "I would marry you", it's the "I'd never hook up with you or have a one night stand with you."
@stuartleech @HMBrough_ What is the impetus that causes someone to want to have a one night stand? Is it, or is it not sexual attraction? Can you not see how saying "I wouldn't have a one night stand with you" comes off as "you don't have the thing that made me want to have one night stands with people"
@Weeezin@DanFriedman81 @HMBrough_ I would not like to be in a relationship with a group of dudes playing f/m/k any more than this lady. Either she was more physically attracted to her hookups than him, or she was having sex with people she wasn't attracted to (imo a worse way of using someone)
@MortarionaDG @DanFriedman81 @HMBrough_ Actually, it just goes to show how genuinely attracted they are to the people who they have hookups with. It sounds like this woman just used people she wasn't attracted to. The man here is the emotionally mature one lmao
@lininghalo @HMBrough_ "I only sleep with you because of your personality" is not a compliment to your personality, it's a slight to your looks, no matter how it's intended
@Pen2Paper97 @_Kinimaka_ @BrainDumpTweets @HMBrough_ Okay. But what things do you do in a marriage that you don't do in a hookup? How can you not see it as saying "I like the things in marriage that do not exist in hookups"?
@Pen2Paper97@BrainDumpTweets @HMBrough_ The way he is attracted to her body would be enough for a 1 night stand, even if he didn't know her personality. The way he us attracted to her personality and mind are enough to marry her, even if she didn't look as pretty.
She's 1 for 2 on sharing levels of attraction
