Useless eaters.

I'm even closer to my goal of becoming a homestead hermit, living the rest of my life in a cottage out in the American Redoubt, working a plot of land, only having enough contact with civilization to occasionally get new books and some very specific necessities every several months. I was born and raised in Germany but North America will be where I spend the rest of my days in self-determination. I may or may not opt to be a part of a sneakernet, maybe putting out cultural criticism and political theory if I feel it's worth my time. Otherwise, I'm done being a writer, I've done translations and technical writing for decades, my fiction being far too niche and transgressive to even post anonymously online. I've lurked and seldom posted on this board for years, I appreciate a lot of you, but disconnecting entirely will be healthy.

yes it will be healthy, good for you, but don't underestimate the amount of work and time it takes to run a homestead. it will also cost you money in all likelihood rather than being "self-sufficient" so hope you have plenty of savings or money coming in. unless you're a US citizen you're also not going to have access to govt services or benefits you might take for granted in germany

This is true but there are also a lot of corners you can cut if you want the bare minimum experience. A lot of people spend 100k+ on the homestead experience just because they want all the doodads and knick knacks. You don't need heated toilet seats in every bathroom in your house.

If you actually go outside and believe this then you're definitely filtering out thousands of applicable people. Go to the grocery store and chat up older women or older men.

These aren't costs associated with luxuries. Do you have any idea how much a cow costs? How much even relatively primitive farm tools will cost? Taxes on the land? You guys seem to assume that all you need is some land and then the food just grows. But if you want anything even close to a healthy, complete diet it's going to take a lot of planning, building, and maintenance

I get this. I usually go for a long walk every night, but I’m visiting my parents right now and if I try to go out for a walk after dark my mom will get really anxious. It’s because I made the mistake of telling her about this incident a few weeks ago when this creepy guy followed me home in his truck one night. Honestly I didn’t take it that seriously because nothing actually happened, but she was all upset about it and insisted that I should’ve gotten his license plate and called the cops or something (which I feel is an absurd overreaction, plus it’s not as though the cops would actually do shit about it anyway).

Plants provide value to animals by producing oxygen.

Cows aren't bare minimum. I know a few homesteaders both in real life and online and I don't know anyone who just casually owns a cow. All the people I know who own cows are farmers.
Read Walden and read Ted Kaczynski's interviews. Thoreau built a house with 5% of the money needed to buy a house back then. Kaczynski had I believe ~10,000 dollars worth of land (not adjusted for inflation).
You don't need cows. You don't need AC. You don't need insulation. 99% of the things you think are bare minimum necessities (like fucking cows) aren't actually necessities.

Chatting with some senior citizens at the grocery store isn’t going to alleviate our loneliness, man. I think the hard truth is that if you’re young, you have to work in some young, trendy, or else massive company in New York, Austin, San Francisco, one of these places or else have a social circle you brought with you from college. That, and you have to have an active life outside of work, going to BJJ, spin class, art galleries, whatever. Basically, if you have a shitty job, don’t live in a big city, or don’t have the money or time be going out and in all these clubs or whatever, then you’re screwed. At least that’s how it seems to me right now.

The loss of sophistication and organs within a species does not merit to be called evolution. Evolution is growth and progress, humans getting dumber is actually devolution.
>>
>>23565009
>Evolution is growth and progress, humans getting dumber is actually devolution.
You're implying a teleology to evolution that simply isn't there. There's nothing guiding or controlling evolution and it is not progressing towards anything.

>>23564992
Thoreau grew mostly everything aside from rice or flour and listed the prices for EVERYTHING he used for his entire time at Walden. Yes you need to buy a 10 cent pack of seeds from the garden section of a store unless you're going to steal seeds from some farmer that will probably shoot you on sight. It's not some big "you lost" moment. Kaczynski hunted for meat. I don't remember if he foraged or grew his own crops but he wasn't going to the grocery store on a weekly basis. I only recall him going to the grocery store for milk powder.
These things are inexpensive and they still grew, hunted or foraged the majority of their diet.
And I can guarantee your favorite "homesteader" influencer goes to the grocery store 100x more often than either of these two.

That's tautological. The meaning of the word humans use to describe the process does not answer the question of how one can define progress or what it is all progressing towards.

Evolution is certainly not perfect. If evolution makes a species less sophisticated, more dumb, and weaker that's devolution, there's no reason for there to be a teleology to evolution, it's a simple definition, evolutionary processes only merit to be called as such when they complexify lifeforms, not the opposite.
>>
>>23565055
>there's no reason for there to be a teleology to evolution
But when you tell me that evolution is when things become more complex you are implying a teleology.
>>
>>23565055
>If evolution makes a species less sophisticated, more dumb, and weaker that's devolution
No, that's evolution. There's no such thing as devolution. Evolution is simply change in organisms over generations via descent. If becoming less sophisticated and "more dumb" makes an organism more fit to reproduce then it's evolution.

There is, and mere science would agree, just like they agree that anti-matter exists because of a presence of matter, so there is a devolution as much as there is an evolution. Humans are currently devolving and that is very very not good.

You are applying man-made concepts to an unguided, unconscious process which encompasses all life, not just humankind. Just because an evolutionary change is perceived as negative by humans doesn't mean there is a corresponding objective negative quality to it from the (non-)perspective of evolution itself.
By what system do you arrive at the conclusion that the evolutionary changes you (claim to) observe are not good? What is good, in your terms?
>>
>>23565089
that's all true, but wouldn't you agree that when evolution "runs in the dark" it produces healthy, strong, viable organisms, at the cost of much suffering? when these pressures are suspended, it produces sickly, balding, autists. how can we make sense of this without imputing some kind of teleology to the process?

That's the delicious irony of the whole situation. One who believes in evolution and all its presuppositions argues in one hand that evolution is progressing towards something yet in the other hand believes the universe is a nihilistic valueless clump of matter. To imply a teleology is to imply something approaching intelligent design, but to imply intelligent design is to mortally wound the foundation of evolutionary theory as it is currently understood.
>>
>>23565155
that's sort of my point, evolutionary pressures produce strong virile organisms, and christians - in bed with the technological imperative, not to mention their ethos of universal love - work to eradicate those pressures, and so are unwittingly mongrelizing the species. i don't believe in any kind of evolutionary teleology, and yet it's these types that do! they're talking out of both sides of their mouths.

I’ve kinda said this before but social media magnifies and gives a warped exaggerated view of things which then feeds on itself to continue to grow. Ideologies and politics have always existed and things could get heated but they were usually in person. With social media you don’t see the other as a person but an idea or a strawman. Arguing at the bar or cafe back in the day, you had to acknowledge the other as a human. You heard their other opinions, likes and life. You saw them live their life outside their views. They were relatable to some extent. If things got too heated there was a threat of a fight. People would either chill out or the fight would chill them out. Now on social media nothing is settled and there’s no catharsis. People stew. The loudest most obnoxious opinions will always get the attention on social media, not the intelligent nuanced view. No one wants that. They want to get angry or see ownage. The radical opinions get the views as make extremists out of people

I could go into a whole other rant about the lose of identity for the individual and the rise of the collective. People struggle to define themselves or know themselves. They latch onto groups or labels. Combine this with the social media aspect in the paragraph above and it creates an ugly situation. I don’t know what the solution is or if it ever will get better. Things might need to boil over to reset

Listen to me, because you clearly ignored my advice last month. This man is not perfect—nobody is. He’s just an ordinary human being, and he likely has many flaws and issues that you are not aware of. He is not your soulmate. You are not some magical manic pixie dream girl who can change his life and transform him with your love—you are just an ordinary woman with mental health issues and an obsessive personality. You have never even had any kind of reciprocal interaction with him. You have never even shared a single conversation with him. You do not know him enough to be in love with him or to have any meaningful feelings towards him: what you are in love with is an idealised fantasy person that you have created in your imagination. Stop allowing yourself to obsess over a complete stranger’s social media, and instead try to meet someone irl who actually reciprocates your feelings. I get that it’s really hard to accept it when you have feelings for someone and they don’t feel the same way. I understand that you feel as though you can never be happy with anyone but him, but you need to face the facts: he does not want you, and he never will. Yeah, that reality is incredibly painful, but you have to learn to live with it somehow. Continuing to entertain thoughts about him will only sabotage your mental health, make you depressed, and prevent you from opening yourself up to meeting other people. Please take my advice and check yourself before you wreck yourself. Go to therapy. Stop looking at anything online that is even remotely related to him, and cut yourself off cold turkey before it becomes impossible to let go. Nip this shit in the bud before it escalates. You’re setting yourself up for a world of hurt and a future of emotional instability.

Okay, I’m glad that you’re trying to take my advice. Can I ask—what drove you to become obsessed with a stranger that you’ve never even spoken to? Did you just see him on social media and find him really physically attractive or something? I’ve experienced a vaguely similar kind of obsessional thinking about someone I was in love with, but the way it started out was pretty different from your situation. He wasn’t a stranger; he was someone I had conversed with at length, and I didn’t develop strong feelings for him or even start to find him attractive until after we had been talking for a while and I had
started to get to know him. Before that, my opinion about his appearance was basically neutral, like I was pretty much indifferent about it. And your idealisation of this man, going so far as to describe him as “perfect”, seems extreme in a way that I don’t get. Do you actually believe that he’s perfect, and what’s your basis for that belief? In my case I never believed that he was perfect—it was clear to me very early on that he was flawed and had certain personal issues and things that he struggled with (as do I, of course—I’m in no position to act superior). I genuinely don’t understand how such an idealised obsession with a complete stranger would develop.

Do you think women browsing 4chan over the years ever have deep thoughts about the nature of the male psyche, like "wow, so this is how men really are when they can say whatever they want"? Do you think any of them go beyond bitter "fucking incels" type dismissals? Maybe the women who have have used/lurked 4chan over the users have insights both into men and women as a result.

I found his posts attractive. He seemed like someone I could talk to for hours. I don’t really want to delve too much into it because this is all embarrassing in hindsight. But he is very /lit coded, seemed like the ideal man that I used to envision myself with. (It’s funny, because I had previously gotten *actually* involved with another guy who was a philosophy-cuck, and every time I tried to spark conversation about different books and writers, he would just immediately ask for pictures and nudes. I think men don’t like to intellectually connect with women that they want to fuck.). But anyways, I also found this guy attractive in face and age too so it really felt like I had found everything I was looking for. I’ve been desolate for so long, so it’s easy for me to idealize strangers and randos over the internet.

There is no such thing as a woman developing insight into the male mind. It's something they conceptually cannot do. They can't even do it for the guys they love and care about, of course they won't do it for random men on 4chan.
It's an old quote i think, "men are terrible at understanding women but women don't understand men at all", or something like that.

Saw a video on instagram recently that went like this:
>man and woman seated at table with a pie on it
>woman says to man "so you've never been kissed before?"
>man says "no I haven't"
>"well do you want to kiss me?"
>"I do"
>she smiles and says "take control"
>he rather confidently places a hand on her shoulder and the other on her cheek and brings her close
>right before getting there she grabs the pie off the table and squishes it into his face and says "what the fuck are you doing?"
>he spits pie out of his mouth and says "I thought you wanted me to kiss you"
>she laughs
The comments were generally sympathetic to the man and very negative towards the woman, with the top comment saying that she deserved to end up alone and a comment right below it saying the man deserved to be happy.

According to who? You're implying a direction (de-volution opposed to evolution) to change when that change is neutral from an objective standpoint. So what if an organism goes from having four appendages to two if it remains fit to reproduce or becomes fitter because of it? Why does complexity or simplicity imply progression in any direction?

It has become less complex, therefore it devolved. When trees loose their leafs in autumn, is that growth? I don't know what's so hard for you to understand this. Where's the teleology implied?

Her face looked exactly like a member of the sheriffs I used to have to call frequently when i worked at a mental hospital.

But now I needed to travel back to the West last night in order to some necessary paper crap, but I have been punched into the face by some neighbour, it got swollen badly and I decided to stay one or two days more.

Fight cleanly then, hate not, fear not,

Fever and fear distract the world,
But calm be you though madmen shout,
Through blazing fires of battle hurled,
Hate not, strike, fear not, stare Death out!

I guess it's just a way of playing, being silly.
Of course, on the internet nobody has the frame of knowing me, which would immediately bring the affected stupidity into relief as humor. Unavoidable on the public internet, though.

I have serious issue. My crippling loneliness, my unmet need for love and affection is distrubing all aspects of my life. I can't read, I can't talk, I can't function at all. All I can think of right now is how I wish someone would love me and no attempt to distract myself works. Its too persistent and I don't know how to resolve this. Just how a starving and malnourished person only thinks about food just as I can only wish about someone expressing their affection towards me, comforting me and put it bluntly to cuddle me to sleep.

There's a ladybug on my window sill, it's shell looks slightly dented in a few places and of a prominent greenish colour. I haven't see greenish ladybugs before. Perhaps that coloration was a result of limited exposure to the sun due to flying in and getting stuck in this room, just like a person's skin when they look ill due to sitting inside for prolonged periods of time. It's crawling helplessly on the surface of the window, thinking, perhaps, that there is nothing that should prevent it from flying past the transparent wall, yet something does. I would like for it to fly away, but the window screen is a hassle to unmount, so I won't. It is dying, and it's life ends here. It was brought to exist in this world with a purpose of reproducing and continuing the evolution of its infinitesimal species, but its futile life will amount to nothing instead.

I'm in schizophrenic agitation trying to understand the world and hurting myself in confusion like a pokemon. The only ideas I come across that seem worth giving a damn about are vague christian metaphysics about transcendent reality or collectivist politics that are extensions of self worship. Both seem meaningful but I haven't figured out how they connect. They seem contradictory. Christian metaphysics says there is a personal god which is cool but doesn't that lead to egalitarian utopianism? Worshipping your race is an expansion of worshipping your family which is like worshipping yourself which seems kinda selfish. I just know the status quo of liberal and marxist utopian egalitarianism is bullshit. Who would want to make themselves equal to 6.6 billion 3rd world retards? It's giving everything up for dirt cookie people.

Then there are technocrat materialists who only care about growing the economy. Elites who rise by natural talent and allegedly raise the standard of living for everyone by winning the competitive professional game. Technocratic competition is supported by the labor of those beneath them who are supposed to benefit from this game because otherwise, why participate? I think the current level of competitiveness and lack of support for the losers is why society is breaking down. I am not just saying that as a bitter working class loser. The competitive game is a positive feedback loop and as knowledge grows the barrier to entry for the top positions also grow, increasing competition indefinitely.

In conclusion, I am too stupid to be an intellectual but there is nothing else entertaining to do. The little I understand makes me pessimist. What else to read? I think reading 1000 pages of Infinite Jest is deluding yourself into thinking they are learning a great deal about life but its really just fun for you, like an acid trip. Literature can make you feel things but it's all just entertainment and being emotionally moved by Notes from the Underground hasn't enriched my real life much. Reading philosophy and politics is probably the same thing but with another layer of delusion because it's supposedly more connected to reality. If you finished reading this please help me

Looks like a win for the left in France and thus a win for the status quo. I think this is a good thing as it will make the right, which is now sizeable and conscious of itself, realize that it can't win through "democracy." It's funny, letting the right win would actually prove that democracy works because it would show there can be a healthy circulation of government types within the same regime, without any one party or tendency totally dominating the regime and forcing the others to break the system.

I hope we get exactly that now: a left/liberal alliance that does nothing but maintain the horrid status quo to block the right out of pure spite. Then we'll really see great politics again. May take 5-10 years though.

You should read Varieties of Religious Experience by James. What is happening now is what James describes as a conversion experience. However you need to take a breath and relax a bit because what is happening in esoteric terms is that you have exhausted the capacity of your existing conceptions to make sense of your growing intuitions, and as a result they are bending and coming apart under the stress, and you feel simultaneously like you are trapped within their too-narrow bounds AND that your they, as your collective conceptual apparatus (aka: your fucking mind) are about to snap. What's really happening is that they are about to be sublimated into new conceptions, or rather your capacity for concept-forming itself is going to reveal a higher dimension that was always latent in it and you will have not only new "room" but whole new dimensionality within which you can explore new conceptions and combinations. To put this more briefly, you are trying to make sense of adult things with a child's mind and not taking into account that a child can just see farther and see from a higher vantage than a child, and things that seem two-dimensional to a child are actually three-dimensional to an adult (and there are dimensions beyond that for truly wise people).

Right now you are combining a mishmash of naturalistic reductionist thinking with natural law thinking with idealistic thinking. These three either don't play nicely together, or they only place nicely when they are probably placed in a hierarchy with some subordinated to others, for example with natural law being the "shadow" of ideal metaphysical relations on earth, and naturalistic reductionist theories being plausible only at a subordinate level within the natural law, in the realm of the purely material and adventitious.

There ARE dialectical syntheses and reconciliations possible here. You just can't see them because the plane you're working on has already been mapped out so you keep ending up at your starting position. That's because you're supposed to go up into a new dimension. The questions you're asking will reveal themselves to have been "badly posed" (containing unexamined presuppositions) and the knots they're tangled into will reveal themselves to be illusory. Just to give one example, there is no necessary contradiction between compassion and authority, nor even nationalism and internationalism. All of your intuitions will become fruitful avenues of exploration instead of dead ends. There is a whole galaxy of subtler conceptions already formulated by other people waiting for you to explore them once you undergo the synthesis you are already straining toward.

>I am too stupid to be an intellectual
This self-doubt is why you probably are an intellectual. Pseudo-intellectuals find one framework and over-apply it forever.

I had a dream that I met a beautiful Norwegian goth girl in the filthiest public restrooms I've ever seen.
Rancid public restrooms often appear in my dreams. I don't know why since I can't remember the last time I used a public restroom.
Anyway me and her hit it off at first, but then I gave her the ick by trying to ask for her number in a cringe flirty way, but won her back over when it became apparent I was a goober and it turned out I had lost my phone anyway. Then I woke up.

My husband has only slept with one other woman besides me in his life. This woman is his sister's best friend so we are forced to see her every now and then.

That I can handle and actually don't mind anymore , however we have a son who is just over 3 years old and whenever we see her, it's like my son instinctively wants her attention. Even when he was a baby he would always stop crying when she carried him or he would reach out to be carried by her. And now he always goes up to her wanting to play or does cute stuff to her.

What the heck is going on? Don't tell me he's in love with her too. Is this some sort of trauma passed on from my husband? Why does it upset me and how do I get over myself seeing that I know it's a complete nothing.

A dream I had two nights ago really stuck with me.
>first scene
I'm crawling through a stone tunnel, possibly a sewer or storm drain. Somehow I know I'm underneath the Imperial Castle in Nuremberg. The walls are made of large, rough stones mortared together and sealed with age. The tunnel is shaped like a curved arch and has a ledge on either side, maybe 6 inches off the ground and four inches wide. At the end of the tunnel I reach a small stone room. There is a blind arch set into the wall and a stone feature in front of it made of gray slate. I say feature because it's unclear what the thing is. Not a coffin, it's too long. It's split into two panels, an upper and a lower, by a horizontal seam. I pick up a knife and pry the upper panel off, revealing some sort of decomposing organic mass lying on a bed of earth. I somehow know this is a grave, the secret resting place of an important person.
At this point I toss and turn and fall back asleep.
>second scene
I'm very high up in the mountains. Above me is a slope so sheer it nearly qualifies as a cliff. Nothing can grow here. No man can climb a slope like this. Snow blankets the entire mountainside in white. The rest of the mountain and any surrounding scenery is lost in thick fog. Inexplicably I find a window, and a building halfway between a castle and a medieval manor house, all crossed glass windowsills and stories that go up and up and turrets and towers and warm orange light from fireplaces and candles. I haul myself up to the window and slide in, turning around to view a sheer drop below me, likely thousands of feet straight down though the mist obscures my view. Inside the building I encounter a warm, rustic kitchen area, with wooden chairs, large black cast iron pots and pans, a fireplace casting flickering light everywhere, and a ladder leading to a balcony-like structure overlooking the kitchen. To the right of the room is a small door leading to a spiral staircase. Just to the left of the fireplace is a small rectangular trapdoor in the wall, which I open and inexplicably clean lint out of as if it's a clothes dryer. Behind the lint is another tunnel-like passage which I crawl into. This passage slopes upward, and as I crawl on hands and knees, it ascends quite a ways into the building I am now in. Eventually, I emerge from another trapdoor in a wall into another room, but its details are lost as I wake up.

Kids usually do that with one external friend at least. It's because it's a friendly person who is always fun, and they're rarely there for upsetting things because they have no responsibility for the kid. What you do is invite her over whenever you have to get the kid to do something he would normally throw a tantrum over, so it limits the tantrums. It's not foolproof but it makes things easier when you plan it well.

I'm genderfluid, born a man but present femininely when my fluidity changes. My friend group is very accepting without being a bunch of deluded liberals and its very easy to switch it up between days depending how I present(and I put in a good amount of effort, more than some transwomen, in also healthy and in shape). So when I present femininely they use my female name and pronouns but I never fuss at all with that.

Anyways one day I have one of my friends over, lets call him Mark, I'm presenting femininely and I had a cute outfit on just cause I had the time. We didn't have much planned, just our usual magic night and then we may get a drink before or after. So Mark just seems a little bit down and he's not really into the cards that night. I earnestly as a friend try to get him to talk about what bothering him, it ends up being about his dating life, bad dates, terrible dating apps, a growing feeling of loneliness.

Is it wrong to fuck a friend whose feeling down, Mark's one of my ride or die's, very supportive friend through high school up to now in my late 20's, he's like the older brother I never had. I don't wanna fuck him because I was get off, I wanted to make him feel loved. Mark is really straight and I wasn't sure about the genderfluid thing but he saw me as a women that night.

One thing led to another(I'm not a porn writer) but we're having sex and its not as awkward as I thought it would be. We're obviously enjoying ourselves and have been going at it for a half hour. I'm on the edge of a huge orgasm but in that moment something happened, my fluidity switched back to being a man. As I'm processing this I'm still going with the motions but I realize I'm a man right now and I fucking a man and it doesn't feel right. I start cumming, I finish and we both get cleaned up shortly after. We awkwardly hang out for a beer after but then he's leaves.

I'm not gay, but I usually follow whatever my fluidities at, so this threw me off. Obviously whenever I hung out with my friend group after for the next few weeks Mark could tell something was wrong. Next time we're somewhat alone he's tries to bring it up "I really appreciate what [My female name] did, I was really and a bad place that night and now I've just felt really confident and hopeful."
I really didn't wanna ruin this feeling for him but I had to be truthful. "I'm sorry Mark, but I really need to tell you. When we were having sex my fluidity switched.. I was a man for part of the time that we were doing it".

Mark looks at me, distraught, "but.. I'm straight, I wouldn't have sex with a man, when did this happen?"
"Right before I started cumming and until after we finished up" I responded.
Mark had looked around confused with his hand on his head, "But that's right before I came, so I came while you were a guy? Am I gay?"
"Yes Mark, When I was fucking your asshole and came inside you I was a guy, I think you might actually be gay if you came too."

I fucking hate it how grown ass men like to talk about politics without talking about anything political. Case in point see Robert Nozick and his response to John Rawls.
If it can be said that Rawls is the reason why everyone in the DNC is a dipshit who naïvely believe that capitalism can be just, then I think it can be equally said that Robert Nozick is the reason why the automatic hypothesis of state formation is still popular.
In Anarchy, State, and Utopia, Nozick claims that from an initial stateless condition the invisible hand will lead to the formation of a just government. Just like that. Why? Don’t ask me, I don’t understand the automatic hypothesis for one second. How the fuck could something as complex and intentional as the state come about through automatic mechanisms.
>inh4 evolution works that way
We’re talking about complex institutions that started that way from the beginning, and formed quickly, not simple biology happening over millions or billions of years. It’s like thinking a tiger would come out of some primordial soup. Robert Carniero thought the state was so specifically designed that it had to have only one individual creator who came up with the idea.
So what does this have to do with Nozick? He systematically lays out a plan by which the state could form by automatic means that is rigorous, but I think unsound. What have the effects of this been? Lolbertardians and lame armchair anthropologists like Jarad Dimond coming up with unlikely depoliticized narratives about how politics happens. Imagine doing politics and never talking about political motivations, or processes. That’s what the automatic hypothesis does. We’re supposed to think that the more complex something becomes it makes a qualitative leap and then just becomes the state?
This stuff is fortunately less prevalent in anthropology and sociology than elsewhere, but it’s blighting the professions.

>>23568361
Maybe men in general aren't, there's 3.5 billion of us after all, but I'd say a plurality if not a majority of them are.
The issue is that navigating the currents of social situations is uncertain and there's no guarantee that one's desire for romance will be reciprocated, or that it won't be seen as silly, pathetic, an "ick," etc. A lot of guys adopt a defensive posture where they only carefully reveal themselves and then only in part, especially these days when social media is omnipresent and many men believe that all women want is a 6'4" jacked gigachad with a chiseled jaw who has no weaknesses whatsoever, or that to succeed with women they must strive to become such a person.
If you lurk this site for a while you'll notice that a lot of male posters would really like to engage in cute romantic stuff and react to images or scenes of romance by wishing it could happen to them or despairing that they'll never have such a thing, and I'd imagine normalfags in real life feel similarly (or at least a lot of them do) but the difference is that in real life men guard themselves against perceptions of weakness which romantic notions are frequently tied to.
Specifics of what men want are as varied as the number of men in the world. Personally, I am very interested in romance, and I'd love to meet someone who loves philosophy and debate as much as me who also wants to start a family, but I'm just one guy.

orson welles said middle class are the enemy of society.

in the last century in england, there was a big thing about 'U and non-U', which found that there were many similarities in the use of language between the upper and lower class, whereas the middle-class tended to use 'fancier', french words for things, in attempt to sound more refined.

the upper and lower classes are both rooted in tradition, they both name their children jack and charlotte, it's the middle that feel the need to give them names like percy and felicity.
