      What kind of robot thinks “hey are you waiting for someone” sounds like a normal thing to ask a person?

      Be me Stood up by obvious catfish Sad that I fell for it again Even worse, the man who’s been drinking alone while staring at me for the last half hour is coming over. He smirks and asks “hey are you waiting for someone”? I instinctually interpret it as “do you have any witnesses arriving soon?”

        You’ve been watching this person for half an hour, you pick up certain cues, like they being alone and waiting instead of making an order.

    If the dude was getting 60 matches in two months he was already doing quite good for himself, no? Pretty sure that is above average.

    Why do I feel promiscuity is disgusting? I have no connection to a stupid religion, neither do I care about social standards in that regard. Am I old fashioned or uptight? But since I was a teenager I despise it to the point I had the opportunity and said no, several times (when I was younger, I’m around 40 now) My buddies always said i’m stupid asf, I don’t know. Am I? Got 2 girlfriends in my life, the last one now for 20 years (still going), all my experience you can count on one hand, I don’t feel inhibited in my “skills”, at least what the feedback tells me, but on the other hand there’s clearly a bias, idk.

        To be fair, there is a fun, consenting way to do so. Anon’s way ain’t it though.

      There are different types of sexuality. I can’t remember the term, but there are many people who prefer to have connection first before having sex (you know, the type of sexuality and romance usually depicted in movies). Others are promiscuous and don’t mind casual sex.

      People are just different. Some are promiscuous, others aren’t. So long as both parties communicate what they are trying to achieve and have mutual consent, it’s not really an issue.

      I think the problem is that most of people don’t realise there are different types of attraction/sexuality. We either assume one is promiscuous looking for body count, or looking for long lasting relationship. I didn’t even know that there is a term for the type of sexuality/attraction I mentioned on the first paragraph. I always refer to it as “normal” because that’s how I am expected to view dating and relationship growing up.

      I wonder if it’s because you associate the concept of promiscuity with the behaviours and attitudes of people who treat sex as a trophy and a bragging right.

      There’s a big difference between someone who likes what they like and does it when they can in their own bedroom, and someone who uses manipulative tactics to have as much sex as they can and brag about it as though that makes them a winner at something, acting superior.

      Growing up in a society that reinforces that behaviour (specifically, in men) has probably meant that the two concepts are linked, and your feelings towards one are the same as the other.

      I’m a certified slut and that type of “sex as a conquest” behaviour feels gross to me too, and if that was the only way to have casual sex, I’d never have casual sex ever again, even though I like sex.

      I think because I’m not a man, it was easier for me to separate the two concepts. If anything, I was shamed for promiscuity, so it helped me to explore what’s right for me with an attitude of “who cares what society thinks about my sex life”.

      Basically, if OP has sex and doesn’t brag about it, did he still enjoy it? Because sometimes I think guys like this don’t enjoy the sex for the sex, they want it for the status. And that’s whack.

      Humans are animals, they have sex. There should be no stigma on it, like you’re having. Do you see monkeys shame each other for fucking right in front of each other? If people want to have sex, they will have sex, and if you don’t want that, fine. But don’t ever judge anyone for their choice.

      Whether you are more or less sociosexual (the scientific term) is partly genetic and partly environmental (and by that I mean more how your parents behave than whether or not you belong to a religion). It is completely normal to be turned off by promiscuity because you value a deeper connection.

      I am with you on this point. I never believed in sex just for the sake of sex, without any deeper connection. Although lately I have been having doubts about being so un-promiscuous. Oh well, some things you will never know. At least I’m glad I’m not the only “fool” out there

      Shh don’t question the status quo bro. You don’t wanna do that bro.

      Definitely don’t bring up how men doing this is traditionally seen as manipulative immediately but when anyone other than cis white males do it, it’s just a silly little play ha ha he he ho ho

        There’s this dark underbelly of femininity that people can only ever whisper about and it’s so annoying.

        Like 2/3 of women having a rape kink. Two thirds. That’s insane. But it’s like the world’s best kept secret.

        Women don’t care about dick size but they also rave about how big this one dick was when they’re drunk enough.

        Women want a good, respectful, stable man but they go home with Ol’ Womanbeater Joe every time.

        It’s so goddamn annoying and every time you bring it up, first you’ll get 100% of women saying “well maybe SOME women are like that but I WOULD NEVER” yeah sure. And then if you press the issue you get called an incel or red pill.

        Women please just be fucking honest about what you want. Especially to yourself. Don’t pretend you love salad when you always end up ordering the cheeseburger.

        Edit: see?

          Jesus Christ what a fucking freak. A rape kink doesn’t mean you want to be raped, freak. Yes women are care about superficial bullshit, and you think men don’t?

          You freak. Loser. Weirdo. Incel.

          That is all hyperbole.

          Sure women have rape kinks but they’re in the same vein as people’s incest kinks. In their fantasy, they’re taken by an attractive person, who won’t hurt them, won’t infect and pose zero risk. It’s just fantasy. They don’t want an actual stranger to just violently use them. Just like most guys dont want to fuck their actual siblings/mother.

            Yes of course, but my point is that a) it’s incredibly common, and b) we’re not allowed to acknowledge that it’s true.

            It’s not like, say, masturbation, which everyone acknowledges is a thing but isn’t polite to talk about. Everyone just straight up REFUSES TO BELIEVE certain things about women that data and anecodes both prove are common.

            The only people who openly talk about these things are red pill misogynist bastards.

            Yeah, red pills are the only ones willing to openly talk about this shit. Which is a failure on the part of everyone else. It helps them get recruits.

          If a single woman had ever felt comfortable opening up to you, or if you had one ounce of introspection, you would know that people have harmless fantasies about taboo things. Do you seriously want to act out everything you’ve ever seen/enjoyed in porn? Be honest with yourself about that.

          As for going home with Joe Wifebeater, I think that’s akin to saying that all men go for blonde bimbos with huge boobs. Clearly a stereotype. It’s true sometimes. Shit, it’s true a lot of the time. But the vast majority of men and women realize or will realize that they prefer someone kind, caring, intelligent, and attractive to them (attractive is subjective by the way, if you need that spelled out too).

          Do you think maybe the men women like just aren’t nice to you? Or that you’ve seen toxic couples and extrapolated that to everyone? Maybe you are a little biased against men that women choose because you feel envy toward them? Could cause you to see them in a more negative light. I mean, really? You’ve never met a decent guy with a girlfriend or wife?

          Dude, I am not an attractive guy. I’m 5’10" with a weak chin and I look very bookish. But just by being friends with many women and not being a weirdo I’ve had a ton of girlfriends, plenty of hookups, and now a wife. All out of my league by the standards you’re probably using. I’ve been able to do this while being a video game nerd, loving d&d, and never working out a day in my life.

          Relax dude.

            people have harmless fantasies

            And we acknowledge this is true for men, but not for women.

            But the vast majority of men and women realize or will realize that they prefer

            Sounds like wishful thinking.

            [paraphrasing] Maybe you’re just imagining things?

            I’ve seen the stats.

            [paraphrasing] I do fine, so everyone can do fine.

            I do fine too, because I’m attractive. But that’s irrelevant. In general, what I’ve mentioned is quite common (and those are just examples). But we’re not allowed to acknowledge any of it.

              Alright, I’ll pretend that you’re coming at this from a place of good faith discussion.

              I guess I’m wondering, in what context do you want to talk about this? There are articles and studies that talk about the rape fantasy thing. There are online communities where you can have healthy discussions about this in an intellectual and academic way.

              I think the existence of 50 shades and other similar media is about as open as you can be about this stuff.

              So I ask again, what exactly is the context in which you want to talk about this? Do you, as a man, want to just tell women they have secret rape fantasies? That would be odd.

              Do you want to interrupt a discussion about the dangers of men actually raping women and tell them that they are statistically likely to have had harmless fantasies about it? What does that add to a discussion about misogyny and rape?

              I’m struggling to see the intersection of where the “dark side of femininity” should be discussed but isn’t.
