My 80yo Conservative Boomer Mom messaged me that she's feeling depressed about the Blue Tsunami election results, and lamented that "We refuse to learn from our mistakes so I guess we'll just have to try Socialism once again to prove to ourselves that it doesn't work."
Le sigh; we long ago tacitly agreed to disagree on Politics because Fox/Limbaugh talking points don't hold their own when you have to support them against earnest challengers instead of just going to commercial after a long rant and mic drop. She'll legit cry and eat a box of grocery store donuts if I answer, no matter how tenderly because elderly Mom.
Anyway, Reality right now feels like living through the long slog of an Ayn Rand novel wherein the world is falling apart around the Elite Technocrat main characters because of Socialism. Only, in this reality, these very Technocrats are the ones already in charge, and the world is falling apart for the masses because of the exact opposite of Socialism, Laissez-Faire Capitalism, currently works as an engine concentrating wealth and power upward to these top few as opposed to downward toward the masses. In other words, the very solution she held up, turns out to CAUSE the exact dystopia she used 644,000 words to exhaustively describe. Basically, the mythos that modern Conservatism is built upon, stands demonstrably and today blatantly obviously, objectively false to its very foundations, and the reality of this becomes ever harder to deny or effectively challenge.
America's two party system sucks. It locks everyone into an artificial dialectic wherein if you disagree on a given topic, you MUST therefore represent an extreme caricature of the opposite party. There's no place in this paradigm for anyone outside it; for example myself aligning closest to Libertarian values that generally go fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I can get both strong Ds and Rs angrily REEEE-ing and pushing me away within 30 seconds of diving into a serious discussion of current events vis a vis politics.

I love this. She actually found 2 men still willing to buy shit for a woman they aren't fucking, which is becoming increasingly rare. Thing is, it was a conditional offer, with the implied condition that she keep them company and converse for a bit. She not only wasn't going to meet that condition, but had the audacity to try to get them to pay for the drink she'd already had on her own, as if they were running some kind of charity that provides free cocktails to bar thots. They were right to mock her.
But the best part to me, is how she admitted at the beginning of her stupid video that this was embarrassing for, but after telling the story tried to act like these men were at fault and out of line.
"For me, not having kids has given me the freedom to really focus on what I want to do with my life."
And that's why Granny-In-Name-Only is on Tik Tok reveling in her ... victory? Spike that football, honey!
"Not having kids doesn't necessarily leave a great big empty space in our lives."
They do tell on themselves, don't they.
Lol. The people literally paid to be on that flight and help passengers, the flight attendants have retreated behind "We are here primarily for your safety!" I.e don't fucking bother me for anything else while I'm busy gossiping in the galley.
And she wants an actual passenger to help her out. Here's a pro tip: if you have trouble putting your carryon up, check it in. Pay the fifty bucks. Or if you're too cheap, bring it to the gate and 9/10 times they ask for volunteers to check their bags for free anyway. You got this gurl! Don't need no man flexing his biceps around you!
You've basically got it: alpha vs beta...... lover vs provider.
Overall I think the dude here did okay, but I think there's room for improvement.
The worst position, which is where beta orbiters and NiceGuys live, is spending time, never asking openly for what you want.
The next best position, is to openly ask for what you want, no beating around the bush. That's what this guy did and at the very least, it keeps you from wasting time. But it's not always the most successful.
The best is to lead her down the primrose path through a series of escalations. Because the truth is, if you just abruptly ask someone "do you wanna fuck?" The answer is almost inevitably no. You want to rather ask questions that are easy yes. Kino, escalation, move to a more romantic place, ask her if she wants to take a walk. Invite her to come up to your place for a glass of wine. Talk on the couch, make her comfortable, then physically escalate. And so on.
At any of these steps, a woman may still say no. But on balance, this will yield a higher success rate.
Now, you have to decide beforehand how much time you want to dedicate to this escalation. In this case, apparently the guy was willing to spend the whole evening in pursuit. If that's his time and effort budget, then at least spend it wisely to maximize your chances.
To make an analogy. You get a match on tinder. You decide you're only going to spend 5 minutes of time on her. Then texting "wanna come over and fuck?" Might be fine.
But maybe you're willing to spend a few days texting. Then go for a more gradual escalation before popping the question.
Maybe you're willing to go on one date. Maybe 2. Maybe 3 (I personally don't recommend more than 3 without evidence of significant escalation if not sex by then). Whatever time you decide to spend, do it wisely.
What this guy did was essentially decided he was willing to spend a few hours of his time trying with this girl, but then spent that time essentially texting her "come over and fuck?" Every five minutes. He's likely going to fail and still waste the time. Why not choose a better strategy?
