Why is it not sexist for women to say 'I prefer taller men because I feel protected'?
Preferences. Okay: unpopular opinion time!Humans: no one owes you attraction. Some people like brunettes, some people like short partners, etc. Some preferences are rooted in prejudice and stereotypes, but are ultimately non of your business. You could go further and ask if someone is misogynistic if he only dates men (give women a chance!!! :’(), if someone is racist if she likes dark-skinned partners.IN THIS SCENARIO, SHE IS NOT SAYING THAT NON-TALL MEN ARE INFERIOR HUMANS, JUST THAT SHE LIKES TALL MEN!^^^Whether someone wants to date you doesn't define your worth.And “preferring” someone tall doesn't exclude her from dating someone who isn’t.Equality is allowing people of any orientation and gender freedom to date others for different reasons within legal limits. If a woman wants to conform to traditional gender roles, good for her (not my thing, but idc). If she wants the opposite, great! Same goes for men. There is a line between wanting to feel protected and enforcing height standards onto men. And as long as the partner is consenting, its no one else's business. What sexism?We are all looking for people of a specific height/religion/career. Even if a group of people are generalized, that person may just walk away from a relationship feeling disappointed. Ah, the wonders of nature.Why is it not sexist for men to say, “I prefer fat/skinny/redhead girls because they are hawt/I want to protect them”? Shallow, sure, but it's just a preference.Miss me with that PC stuff. But I wouldn't expect a redpiller to behave otherwise.
Why did god/nature make us inferior to men?
I don't think there is anything amazing about being able to carry a child or give birth. If it was so great, god/nature would not have made pregnancy and childbirth so painful and messy. And in the case of childbirth, the risk of the mother dying (even with good medical care). Yeah, that's great design, that. Leave a child without a mother because god/evolution couldn't be arsed to make childbirth completely safe. That's bad design. How is having the risk of dying in childbirth be good for a species? @KatieMedic: No, I am not a troll, just someone who wants answers.
Why do Liberals hate capitalism?
Seriously Michael Moore is a millionaire because of capitalism, he is a millionaire, his movies are across theaters cashing out at hundreds of millions of dollars in box office hits. I applaud him for his success. Not his views. Honestly if Capitalism is so bad, tell me where is the incentive to come up with new technological ideals if you can't make a profit. I don't think anything would be invented nor would this website exist if the person who manages it can't make a profit. Even in the work force when it comes to employment the job you look for isn't handed to you. You have to work for it, compete in interviews and sell your self as the best person for the job. Also when you're offered a raise, would you turn it down because it's not equal as your co-workers? I really have a hard time grasping how greed is in the equation. CEO's pay rate is determined on the company's out put. A CEO can't make millions if their company doesn't make millions. Is the person who runs the company really selfish because they run everything and the employee is at the bottom with not much at steak. I mean really a CEO has to talk to so many people as the employee just does a small task. Just think about it logically, how is it greedy to want to earn more money based on success. Even with getting grades in school you earn a better grade on how well you do individually, your GPA isn't split with your classroom. Competition is what Capitalism is all about. You keep what you earn and accomplish. If you're successful you can donate your money to help others at your will. Charity is supposed to go unrecognized, it's not a bragging right, so to just bash millionaires even past CEOs like actors, is just silly. We don't know what they privately do with their money, and so what, there will always be an upper class or rich class. If money doesn't determine class and everyone had the same amount. We would still want to try to make our selves feel superior, through knowledge, social cliques, or some other form to feel superior. It's human nature.
Need help getting a girlfriend, I have aspergers?
Outside of work, you do have a life. If I were you, I would arrange my life so that I will meet someone who interests me and who shares my interests. I don't know where you live, but check to see if there are any historical societies or clubs you can join. For instance, in my town, we have the Edison & Ford Estates, so there are volunteer groups, social groups and history groups related to the estates. If you join something like this, you will be among people who share your interests. What this does is allow for you to get to know the other people and how the respond to things. You may be discussing what advertising to do for the museum and note that there is an attractive girl your age, who seems to be passionate about the field. This could lead to your asking her to go so particularly interesting museum, show, historical tour or whatever, not necessarily as a date, but two friends going to do something they really like. You will know pretty quickly how well you connect. The problem with the jewelry was that the girls considered it premature. Though it may have been a grand gesture, gift giving, especially jewelry is traditionally done when people begin to have feelings for each other. If you give on the first couple of dates, the girl is going to feel that your feelings are far advanced from hers and is fearful that you want an immediate commitment. Also, be careful with flowers until there is so reciprocation. Finally, Jed Scott writes books for teachers who work with ASD kids. One book, Social Skills Training, would be very valuable for you to read. Little gifts after a couple of dates would be appropriate, such as you find out she loves a particular movie star, singer or athlete, then you can give her something related, but that is cheap
I’m 23-years-old, I’m shy and I’m unable to talk to any women because I get nervous and “freaked out” around them. What is a helpful solution?
I've been where you are and can totally relate! I help guys in situations just like this, and here's exactly what I invite them to do to transform themselves:Make a 31 day plan to slowly become more social. Social confidence, luckily for you and I (I used to be awkward and timid as heck!), is learnable!But as opposed to trying to immediately be suave around women you find attractive, I'd follow thru with a 31 day plan that incrementally increases your exposure to new social situations.Example: Day 1 - Chat up 3 old women and ask them each a simple question.Day 7 - Chat up 3 random people and talk to them for a minute or so each.Day 14- Chat up 3 women and talk to them for a minute or so.Day 21 - Chat up 2 women that you find attractive for a minute or so.Day 28 - Chat up 2 more women you find attractive, and chat for a few minutes.Day 31 - Chat up an attractive woman, and if you feel there's a vibe, ask her out.I did something similar to this and it worked tremendously. It's all about getting little daily victories. Now obviously, this roadmap isn't complete. I'd fill in Day 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. and make each day get just a tad bit tougher, so that you're always slightly pushing your comfort zone, but not at such a rate where you feel you can't handle what's happening.And here's the last point I think will serve you well my friend...Place your self worth as a man, not on how each social interaction goes, but rather, how committed you are to taking action each day. Pat yourself on the back for taking action, not, for having a great conversation.This sounds paradoxical, but in fact, by focusing on the process goal of going through a 31 day challenge like this, and by rewarding yourself for taking action vs. judging yourself on the specific outcome (i.e. she laughed at my jokes), you'll find that 1) you'll feel far more control of your confidence level2) you'll actually improve faster socially, and around women, because there isn't pressure to perform, but rather, simply the task at hand of becoming more social.This plan works wonders if it's tackled my man. I blog a lot about this very thing and even lay out a free training series that goes way deeper into how to cultivate social confidence in a month.If you're intrigued, feel free to cruise over to: peak under pressure dot comBest of luck champ!Jason
