Approach Paralysis
Good to see you back mfers, just a quick update:
-
I've been hitting the gym and eating clean, feel a bit more testosterone and act like a man 20 per cent more often.
- I'm sending CV's left and right but I'm hitting nothing. I'm learning a tech stack so i can be more qualified for a specific engineering job. All my life my family has paid for my shit and so now I work in the family business and take a bit off money of just to pay for the gym and food. I want to pay for hobbies but I don't feel like its my money to pay for it so I don't indulge in it, I just save it aside and its for the family not me even though they tell me you can have it because I have to pay for tickets to travel and other stuff. In the family, I spent a lot of time irresponsibly spending money so I feel like once I have my own job i can finally do MMA + Some other creative hobby (Need your opinion on this guys)
My Main Problem
-
I get ioi's but my automatic reaction is to ignore them. I was just at the gym and this girl was working out next to me always and left when i left too.
- I just feel on the inside I am uninteresting and don't deserve a woman and I'm a POS. Even though I know that I am interesting and I'm nearly a month off porn now. One improvement, I see now i just say hello to women instead of not saying anything.
I want a roadmap just to get over this. I encounter too much resistance. this has happened so many times i can't forgive myself and continue like this. I want to improve on this side. I fckin know I'm worth it
Read MoreTats. kids, pink hair and a cold sore too. You are under selling this girl. She brings more than you bargained for.
Imagine being those 3 boys. This is what you think a normal woman is. You will think a man is either baby daddy who she shouts at down the phone to send more money and fuck off from her kids or some random guy who takes her out, rails her and leaves her angry and sad.
And they wonder why young men today are angry and directionless. Where is their hope for a destination when this is their starting point?
Treat me like the Queen I am.
Objection, Your Honor. The witness is purporting facts not in evidence.
@First-light A sticking plaster indeed, agreed.
Neoliberalist two-income family has been proven a scam. They turned women into workers, in the process introducing chaos in the workplaces. Even pro-capitalist media acknowledge the rise of the "toxic" workspace. And men are being chastised for not being able to tolerate female-invaded spaces and opting out.
In the end if you want to reproduce, you need to be able to afford it.
That's true, but the current situation, where about all workers and, increasingly, the middle class are unable to afford reproduction, has been socially engineered. "Neoliberalism" about sums it up.
I think it varies by circumstance a bit. Either one ignores it and logs it as information to build up a picture of the girl as part of on going vetting (because in life we never really get to the end of vetting, people and relationships evolve and one needs to keep up with the present) or one has to deal with it in a non confrontational setting out of boundary.
What you don't want to do is let her see if it shakes you up. Its the breaking frame thing that is to be avoided.
"So you are talking to a cute guy?" "Would you mind if I talked to girls I found cute?"
It then depends what talking means -a chat at the office water cooler or when wiping the bar down at the gym is not like going for coffee, texting daily or something more intense than just talking when life makes your paths cross. Its your boundaries in the end you have to set them where it is both reasonable for her and comfortable for you. She can't avoid guys talking to her in daily life and its good to know who she finds cute as information in case of later issues and to understand what attracts her anyway but you also need working boundaries.
Anyway, just don't freeze up or sperg out. You can always come back to it later but the sequence is Maintain control of yourself without sounding at all upset, Get information in a comfortable non upset way (the more relaxed she is the more information she will reveal), Having got information set fair and realistic boundaries as appropriate.
Read More@adam-l I am not even sure that it did make sense back then. it still isn't fair to men to give women these privileges to be less effective and remain employed. Men are being excluded form jobs for these women and then the women are being paid equally for less than equal work.
I can see that there is an argument that it is in the interest of the state to limit the damage done by working mothers to the next generation but really that is only a sticking plaster that men are paying for. In the end if you want to reproduce, you need to be able to afford it.
The working class were able to reproduce fine before maternity leave. Children need their mother right up to primary school age, not just in the first months. Governments have gradually tried to roll out the free childcare provisions further and further to make up for the loss of mothers to children but in the end the sticking plaster is not working. Dump your kids on semi educated woman who is caring for a lot of other kids (day care) and go off to work is not the same as care for and educate your children and it shows in the weak, immature, maladjusted youth of today.
All this "tax" on employers goes into the employer's wage budget. That budget does not go to pay working men who feed families, so no wonder now its hard to keep a family on one income, regardless of excessive female expectations.
