The cable news networks are losing their chokehold on media. Young people can see the truth that the government and the media are lying about daily

They want to hold social media companies liable for allowing their user base to call for an end to genocide in Palestine.

Those who don’t have the traits should avoid online dating.

That’s all that means. Meet and interact in person with real people.

If you can’t meet and interact in person with real people then yes, you will struggle to find a partner.

We are spending time on social media, but we aren’t really being social. That’s my point.

If you’re going to hyperfixate on the fact that you don’t have a six pack and are not tall then that is a you issue, not anyone else’s problem.

Online dating is probably a bad idea. I’m pretty sure the number one criteria is looks, because that’s all you really have to go on for the most part.

If you care about more than just looks, meeting people in person is going to be the way to go.

I guess if you are an introvert you might struggle in person, but the connections you do make will be that much more valuable.

A lot of connections online are superficial and if you can delete your whole relationship with someone with one click of a button, you probably didn’t have any kind of authentic relationship in the first place.

I don’t think I understand what you are saying. Data does exist.

Taller men are generally seen as more attractive.

Wealthier people, or people who pay attention to the latest trends in general are seen as more attractive.

Healthy and fit people are generally seen as more attractive.

All of this is true, but so what. If someone is hyper focused on getting a man or woman to be with them who has these or other specific physical and / or socioeconomic traits, isn’t that for them to decide?

If you only want to date women who have been on the covered of the sports illustrated swimsuit edition, isn’t that your choice also?

What’s your point?

Drowning in strawberries when you are allergic to strawberries is not very good for your health

I hope not lol

Anecdotal evidence is not the same as actual data across populations

In this case we only left the app open for a couple hours that afternoon before we deleted it, but it’s just anecdotal evidence that show if we are specifically talking about online dating the problems are just as bad for either sex if we are talking about cis heteronormative relationships

I’m no sexpert but I think when people say they are a top or a bottom they are talking specifically about gay sex?

Although maybe now it refers to bdsm stuff I don’t actually know

🤦 Sex under socialism versus being on top

I can’t remember which app it was, but I tried online dating over a decade ago. I noticed I wasn’t getting very many responses to any messages I sent out, and it was basically after saying yes to everyone and I had spent some time on the app, so I got to the point where I just messaged everyone a generic opener….

I talked to my female roommate at the time and I got a couple generic photos of her, she was a young mid 20’s woman who was very pretty but idk average for a young beautiful woman.

I created a new profile for myself, and also a second profile for her, I let her choose the most attractive photos of me and I chose some dorky not very attractive but still cute I guess photos of her….

She had ten messages before we were even able to upload the first photo after just creating the account.

This doesn’t mean that she got messages from guys who were someone she would consider dating. It just means she got a lot of messages. I think guys don’t realize how many messages the women get. They have to wade through hundreds of “hi how are you doing” messages before they can even start a conversation. Whereas the guys have to send out messages that are unique and capture the attention of ladies to get a conversation started. Neither is ideal, it’s just how it is

I wasn’t specifically talking about online dating, but women are generally more desired by men than vice versa, whether online or in person.

I can’t imagine online dating to be useful than for more than a handful of people in my opinion.

I was more saying since we are all online more, we are all interacting in person a lot less, which allows for more organic interactions…

Masculinity by your argument is also rooted in the development of vaccines, all of the aspects of technological progress, and also all progressive social movements that have resulted in more equitable distribution of political power, ie voting rights act, giving women the vote, etc.

If you can’t kill yourself properly, just find a real alpha man to do the job correctly? You don’t know jack about suicide. Here let me mansplain that for ya

• puts down Tylenol, grabs gun

Edited for clarity since this is very dark humor: “In other news tonight, the “smiling woman” was arrested today after apparently murdering her husband. She was contemplating suicide but made other choices. The video was live-streamed on tic tock. Coming at 6 tonight stay tuned to WTAF news”

Shock value gets upvotes and downvotes.

There was a famous radical feminist from decades ago who argued all men should be killed. I don’t think she was relevant during twitter or in the recent internet… if she had been, idk 🤷‍♂️

I think the problem with some of these issues is that there are academic theories that are being discussed, which end up getting reduced by non academics and applied to specific individuals.

In the men’s rights forums it becomes men and boys are being left behind, this gets turned into pointing at a specific woman and blaming her.

Likewise in feminist ideology there is the idea of the patriarchy, this gets turned into some people pointing fingers at specific men and blaming them.

You’d have to ask the pro life women. All he is saying is that the issue most important to you and many other women is not the only issue affecting these trends.

That’s literally all the other poster is saying.

What if they like being on top? 👀

So how does corporate oligarchy and unlimited dark money from corporate pacs fit into all this?

Cable news never really mentions campaign contributions so I guess it’s not newsworthy.

Nevermind

Oh hell nah, I’m independent and I am definitely an embarassed left leaning voter
