    The idea that men can't value women outside of a sexual context pretty much means they don't value women at all. Friendship can be beautiful and life changing and it doesn't have to become a romance in order for it to be important and have meaning in the lives of the people experiencing it. It's worth preserving even if it never becomes sexual. That includes male - female friendships.

      Women belong in the kishen.
      Tactically assess every woman on first date. Does she cook? Does she love her father? Natural hair colour? No to any above deal breaker. Positives = natural hair colour, low education, low career ambitions. Also, talking about your feelings will make a woman's puss drier than the grand canyon. Women despite weak men. It's like if Jesus Christ was crying to a man and telling him about his Jesus emotions. The man would be disgusted. Jesus is supposed to be strong for me to lean on. Same with a man for a woman. Some women say they like emotional men because women are illogical and when they say they want an emotional man they picture Brad Pitt or George Clooney being a swooner, not Bob down the road with his lower middle class White guy problems. Men and women aren't meant to be friends either. Only married husband and wife or stay away and remain celibate, daughters with father and mother, and young men working on themselves and their mission. God bless.

      I think the root of this comes to guys not knowing how to start romantic relationships, and then feeling lots of pain when they get stuck in the friend zone. A lot of guys (myself included) never really were taught or figured out a sexual courting process and only ever were told to be friendly and respectful etc. There's nothing wrong with that and it comes with less risk of rejection, but also, you cannot expect that to lead to sex. I wish more experienced guys had taught me this stuff growing up instead of me bumbling around my whole life confused, and I know a lot of guys feel the same way. There is a dearth of proper masculine mentorship in our society imo.

    • @Jack-ns9sz
      @Jack-ns9sz 3 роки тому +2

      ​@@dreaminginnoother Yeah, I completely relate to that.
      I was saying to a female friend the other day that my whole education on dating growing up, in absence of any positive real life male role models, was Disney movies were the guy "wins" over the woman he's interested in by being as nice to her as possible. This was the belief I held through my teens until I hit about 18 years old and I can genuinely say that this was not ill intentioned, but trying to connect and experience love with someone I genuinely liked in the only (very flawed way) I knew how.
      I've been fairly unsuccessful in my dating and romantic life too, and it certainly is frustrating at times. I've had some fairly brief relationships. However, compared to my peers, have not been as successful. I've pretty much resigned myself to probably never having another relationship ever again. Which is a super depressing thought. I'm not really a person who is into material things or a career, so I get a lot of meaning and joy from connecting with people. However, I in no way blame or hate women for my lack of success.

    • @dreaminginnoother

      @@Jack-ns9sz I feel all that. The dating market these days seems more tilted than ever, especially with dating apps. It's really depressing for most guys at this point I would say. It's good you have not gotten bitter towards women. I try not to, but cannot deny I have some real resentment. I have been in 4 long term relationships too, so it's not without some experience.
      I have to admit, if you watch Better Bachelor, I have to agree with a lot of what he says. Sometimes I feel he's a little biased by his own trauma and selects for the worst stories, but he is not hateful or angry in the way he talks about it and I have seen for myself a lot of what he talks about, which makes me feel a little less alone in my experience.

      @@dreaminginnoother I struggle with not feeling resentful at times but it dissipates fairly quickly. I have a significant mental illness, that is stabilised and I can function fairly decently but it does make social interaction (or more so, connecting with people deeply) quite a bit harder for me than the average person. I also know quite a few people with similar mental illnesses. When I look at all the women I know with these struggles, even if they are similarly bad at social interaction, most of them are in relationships. They are still able to find someone who will look past their flaws (even if they are not easy to manage) and love them anyway. When I look at the guys, all of them are single and many of them will be unlikely to get into a relationship, I think. I really struggle with that at times. I've had some relationships in the past (early 20's) but I honestly think that my mental illness and the impact that has on me socially is enough to preclude me from dating. The idea that I'm likely to spend the rest of my life not really having any deep connection with someone terrifies me and, at worst, just leaves me feeling suicidal.

      The thing is, these attitudes make you doubt yourself. And what is especially bad about these is the fact that they make you doubt if doing the right thing is actually somehow wrong and that you should be an asshole or something to "succeed". If you're an adult you can (hopefully) see through the jealous fear - mongering of losers and ignore it, but it is especially dangerous to teenagers who are still exploring and unsure of the world around them. My point is, these views are still detrimental even if you don't believe them, because of the natural paranoid "what if they're right" thought process

    Good video, but I do have a small gripe with the point made about people needing "unconditional love." I've always thought that was a dodgy term, and it's worth scrubbing out of your mental lexicon, because when taken at face value, it can be used to justify loving and supporting someone even after they've done something truly terrible, like murder-or even something far lesser than that, but something you totally disapprove of nonetheless (like adopting conservative ideology).
    I think just about everyone has their conditions for love, and it's not unreasonable to have them-indeed, I would argue that having those conditions only makes your love all the more genuine, if we're going with the definition of unconditional love that says "I love you no matter how big of a scumbag you are." I think we can agree that loving big scumbags is a bit foolish.

"The only person stopping you from moving on is you". Big "school teacher forcing the bully and their victim to 'hug it out' and be friends" energy. That sort of shit.

    This all makes a lot of sense to me. Especially when you said that this is almost a way of exerting power over women. I always felt like I was just nothing to all of my guy friends growing up. It always devolved into them thinking they could give me as much sexual attention as they wanted, and say degrading things that made me feel like dirt, when I just wanted to be friends and have a good time with them! Ends up always making you feel taken advantage of or tricked. I always thought of the sexual attention not as a positive, but almost a way of keeping me in my place. When I wouldn’t allow them to give it to me it was like I was breaking a sacred rule, to them. I was ruining the “fun” of interacting with women. I would defend my friends from gropes and cat-calls only to be called a “guard dog.” I always thought I was hideous because it was only when a straight guy was forced to spend a lot of time with me that he thought I was worth any sort of genuinely positive, strictly friendly attention.

So sexual people would obiviously get that urge a lot and that's true for me too. It's intense but not scary or overwhelming and not so hard to control when you de-mystify it. Friendship is beautiful and something that really makes life beatutiful. I couldn't imagine leaving a friend so easily for something like that.

    A huge problem, at least from my perspective, is men pretty much pretending to want a friendship with a woman when in reality he only cares for her if he can use her for sex, especially when she's clear about only looking for friendship. Then the moment the woman indicates that, well, she really was only interested in friendship and not romance, he basically ghosts her. It's extremely disrespectful because he communicates that he really doesn't care about being honest, he doesn't take her and what she says seriously, and can barely see women as anything but a means to his ends.
    The great irony is that most of these men will think of themselves as the "nice guys" who always lose out on romance for some mysterious reason...
    Being "nice" with the expectation of personal gain is the complete opposite of "nice", but the concept seems lost on them.
    I think movies and pop culture have trained us to think that the awkward, less conventionally attractive men are always "the nice guy with a great personality", when in reality you can be conventionally unattractive, socially awkward, and an asshole.

    I remember hearing this in college and it's so fucking silly and heteronormative. I wasn't out as a trans woman yet but I had this friend who sadly went down the MGTOW path and was CONSTANTLY telling me every woman I was friends with just wanted to fuck me and was using me. Even though I'm still close friends with many of them to this day over 10 years later, and we haven't done anything sexual. Red pill nonsense. Also, people need to learn that it's fine to feel attraction towards your friends, but be mature enough to realize that that doesn't have to equal a romantic a sexual relationship. I think a lot of my friends are beautiful and sexy but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea to pursue a physical relationship.

Millions of people all over the world who are indigenous are deeply disrespected by those who mock this identity that is as valid as any other. The conquistadors justified so much slaughter because they observed the Indians/indigenous people to not have the same binary gender characteristics nor the same so-called heterosexuality so they slaughtered them and indigenous people haven’t forgotten this!
    If indigenous people didn’t have same binary gender metanarrative that the colonizers had, it did not entitle the colonizer to slaughter them for it and then mock their identity that’s just trying to shed the linguistic colonization with the binary of Spanish.

    The "smash" part is a little rediculous, you're not going to complain about the term "love struck" are you? Sometimes words reflect other actions without there being some underlying psychological context relating to abusive factors. Sex does relate to physical impact after all. When I was active in anarchist movements (in the physical world, not the fucking internet) there were little things like that which nit picked language, and sometimes it did make sense, but alot of times, like this, I think it was just rediculous, and also neglects the way that regular common language is supposed to be informal and at times crude. PS: but I don't think the bros know that.
    One thing I noticed about this dumb meme is that by projecting their idiotic anti woman, mgtow, incel whatever bullshit on men, there is another subtext that the woman does not have agency for her own sexually, and paints her as incapable. Even if all her male friends do want to have sex with her, and even if she does know but acts like she doesn't because she wants intention, this is implying that she is incapable or unwilling to do a plethora of other things not related to sex to gain attention, and it also leave out the point that she could just fuck all of them, or some. So not only his her agency to gain non sexual interest taken away, and her agency to be the initiator of sexual advances, but there is an underlying insecurity of the person making the meme revealing itself. It demonstrates that the person making the meme has a big fear of rejection. It's also making the subtext that no man would be a woman's friend unless they want to fuck her.
    In short, the writer outed himself as a brainless wonder who's power of prose couldn't even move light.
