A man in his twenties or thirties with 2 or more cats is a red flag
>>4794741Dude if someone has a cat you need to get your cat a cat. Everyone needs a friend. Even you
>>4794741Are you going to explain why or leave your bait undercooked
Thank God I'm in my 40s.
A man ... with ... cats is a red flag
>>4794824How many cats?
>>4794825More than zero.
>>4794785>undercooked>implying newtards care about baiting properlythey just throw the entire rod in and it works, no reason to cook up something spicy
>>4794824This
I don't care. I'm going to keep loving my cats and you can't do anything about it
>>4795135This
Its only a red flag if he has a litterbox
>>4794741Men who care about men caring about cats are pussies of the worst kind
>>4795244This
>>4795244I've met plenty of men who are incredibly insecure about if things they do or like are masculine and it makes a man really look like a pussy
>>4795135>>4795244TSMT
>>4795244Fucking based. Extend this to any hobby or interest. I have more respect for the funko pop consoomer soiboys who genuinely care about something than the insecure faggots only concerned with projecting feigned masculinity.
>>4795244A bitch once said to the warriors, "You can't handle the pussy." And the warrior whispered "I am the pussy."
If you care about your pets and treat them with love while not giving a shit about insecure faggots who want to tailor their entire livelihood to a conjured up standard in their head that doesn't sound like a red flag to me.
>>4795381It's honestly funny and speaks to the absurdity of our human condition. Some men find it masculine that men care and worry about what other men think is masculine. Masculinity in that realm is essentially submission to an ideal. And that is reflected in the fact that men who subscribe to this often follow other men who go on and on about what is manyl and what isn't, e.g. Andrew Tate. Again, submission, in the hope that someone else will submit to them.I posit that no man (or, really, human) is free of the desire to fit in. That's not a problem. It's the denial of this impulse and the fetishization of this denial that's ill and if that's masculinity, it's anathema to living an honest life. Personally, I think masculinity is something else. It's not caring about what people think of you either. It's confronting what it's like to be a man in this world, and that will include failure and shame and fear and many other experiences and emotions that are often called unmanly. Defining masculinity in terms like "alpha" etc. is a sign of a dysfunctional society where we only deal with ourselves and others superficially.

>>4798219Sir this is a Wendy’s
>>4798304If you cannot philsophize at a fast food restaurant, is philosophizing really worth doing?
>>4795657This. Anyone having an actual passion or interest without caring about made-up, arbitrary concepts of 'masculinity' or 'femininity' is immediately a much more respectable human than someone who thinks owning an animal means you're gay or some dumbass shit.Those guys need to get out more.
>>4798329masculinity and femininity are not arbitrary but yes caring about them too much is silly
>>4798358They are very arbitrary.
>>4798359>men liking physical feats and competition more is totally random
>>4798370Evolution isn't goal-oriented. It just is. Arbitrary does fit that definition well. It's arbitrary in the sense that male and female behaviors are contingent. Even if you invoke a divine creator, they'd still be arbitrary - arbitrated by that divine creator. And after all, we can readily see that male and female behaviors are tendencies, not hard-coded rules, so still, arbitrary is a better fit than...well, whatever opposite you want to pick.
>>4798370When the line is so fuzzy as>for the MOST part men TEND to LEAN more towards being physical than womenIt's arbitrary.
Cat owners have been linked to schizophrenia
>>4798376It isn’t a very fuzzy line at all, it simply must be described in a way that provokes the very least generalization because that’s how science works.We could rewrite your exact sentence to say “85% of all men report pursuing and enjoying physical activity more than women”.Not fuzzy, pretty clear, but the semantics science MUST follow in order to pursue hard sciences makes them eminently vulernable to manipulation in the soft sciences by people like you who either have an agenda or who like whining about pedantic semantics because it impressed their friends when they were 16 and they just dont quite understand that they and the people around them arent highschool sophmores anymore.
>>4798438>science has to be accurate and allow for variation in human behaviour as well as take into account the fact that biological essentialism is a pseudoscience and most every generalisation one can make regarding human behaviours can be put down to socializationFtfy.
>>4798442>it’s a pseudo science!No is real and it would be politically incorrect to recognize neurological hermaphrodites as disordered and curable
>>4794741A man at any age with any number of cats is a fucking red flag
>>4798438Based and correct >>4798442>biological essentialism Propaganda term to disregard any biological fact that doesn’t conveniently align with the narrative shameless ideologues in positions of power push. Might as well just call it sexism/racism/*wrongthink label* instead of beating around the bush with the extra wording
>>4794741people who diss "cat people" or "dog people" are a red flagthey are the ones who want to play mind games like "the dog or me choose"
>>4798608>>4798450Biological essentialism isnt anything close to biological fact, that's why it's a pseudoscience dumbfucks. Nothing thats labelled as biological essentialism has ever been, or will ever be, proven 100% scientific fact.>n-nuh but what about this study that says women are MORE LIKELY to do this Tendencies arent what biological essentialism preaches. The retards who preach biological essentialism work in binaries. 'Women ARE this' 'Men ARE that'. That's why it's just nonsense. You would know that if you actually looked up the term instead of reflexively coming in and screaming about lefty propoganda, but what can I expect from rightards?
>>4794741Why is having cats associated with gays? If anything they would want a big dog so it could fuck them and vice versa. Cat dicks are too small to do anything with.
>>4794741A man in his twenties or thirties is a red flag.
>>4798722>ACTUALLY I stamped my wrongthink label on it so it’s not true!>Das racist so it’s not true!>Das sexist so it’s not true!>Das transphobic so it’s not true! There’s just no arguing with you people - you’re so stuck smelling your own shit and drinking your own kool-aid that the idea of something that your fellow ideological goons established in positions of influence shamelessly push isn’t true is inconceivable to you, they/you know full well they can ruin the livelihoods of anyone who speaks out against them and it shows the most blatant disregard for any kind of intellectual honesty or scientific thought, maybe some of you actually believe the nonsense you parrot but most of you absolutely know that you’re full of shit and just doing and saying whatever to further your agenda, go indoctrinate a preschool class or something because nothing you say has any weight or effect here.
>>4798722No it is fact but its very individualizedBiological essentialism does not stop at the neat little categories and norms you prefer. It goes all the way down. NOTHING about you was actually your choice. You have no free will. The purpose of your mind is explaining your automatic behaviors to yourself. Its not that you are a man thus you naturally act like a manIts that you are yourself and immutably locked in to the patterns that are burned into your bodyYou fear this because you know it means people can be rewritten… and come out being okay with it.
>>4799208>Its that you are yourself and immutably locked in to the patterns that are burned into your body>because you know it means people can be rewrittenSo which is it? Can we change or can't we?
What is the socially acceptable animal for a man to own in the 2020s?
>>4799222You cant change in any way you wouldnt. But someone else can interfere and change you. You simply have no free will.
>>4794741people who want to live in a place with a bunch of cats around them are mentally ill
>>4799234none apparently just a 4chan shit pass, tate university degree and caring too much about (((politics))).
>>4794741 A man in his twenties or thirties using 4chan is a red flag, so you may as well splurge on cats.
Cats are pretty. Cats are nice. Take your chances. Roll the dice.
>past a certain age a man without family can be a bad thing
>>4799654Basically if you're a man and not married by 30 it's over. It will never happen. Women will avoid you because there must be a reason why no other woman would be with you. Just abandon all hope.
>>4799568So only teens and 40 year olds can use 4chan? >>4799899Or: they’re just promiscuous hedonists that wanna fuck themselves into an early grave. Also plenty of guys that have kids and everything with girlfriends
>>4794741I inherited 2 cats despite not liking them, didn't want them to go to the shelter. Eventually grew fond of them. Got a gf, she adopted a third from a friend, it was pregnant. Now I have 8 cats, kek. Fucking retarded but I love them all even though caring for them is a pain.
>>4794741 What is the breed of this cat? I'm in my 30s and could get a few of those.
>>4800437How many litter boxes do you own?
>>4794741>green flag**
>>4795244What about women?
>>4803214all it takes is one bad visit to a cat pee soaked house for this to be good practice>>4800437why didnt you just rehome the kittens?
If you have one cat you may as well get another one so they can keep each other entertained, a lone cat is very needy
>>4799234No pets, which begs the question why are they on /an/
>>4798411Cats scare the demons away, after all
>>4799181
>>4799899mfw my parents married in their mid 30s and had me 5+ years later
>>4799181PornbrainedThe biological reality is dogs are awful at sex and it kills them eventually because they are very prone to genital and urinary tract infections. Did you think spay and neuter was to rob you incels of free pussy and dick? No its because intact dogs have a habit of dying 5 years early even if you aren’t a rapist (then they die 10-15 years early).
>>4803294When I was a kid my friend's female min Pincher had to go to the vet because she got mounted by a way larger dog and got injured in the process lol
>>4803214Old man here, wtf does swipe right mean?
>>4794824people who use the term "red flag" are a speculation themselves
>>4800437thanks anon
>>4803337it means you're not doing the nasty, sir
>>4803337Tinder. Swiping right on their profile means you ‘like’ them. Swiping left means you don’t
>>4803247Pretty much. They get lonely and bored. >>4803282Based>>4803290That’s quite dangerous anon. Having children at 40 can end badly in a number of ways. Old sperm + dried up eggs are not a good combo. Hope you turned out alright
>>4803363Pic reminds me of this
>>4803631SavedWe need to retvrn
