Personable

Absolutely. Aella incorrectly said something like, “Men only go for the most beautiful 10/10 women.”

Wrong. That shows how fundamentally most women do not understand men. (Aella herself has an incredibly terrible understanding of men, which is kind of funny because she’s probably slept with more men than 99.99999% of women.)

In the absence of knowing anything about their personality, out of a lineup men will of course pick the most beautiful — just like a woman would pick, say, the most gorgeous dress before trying any of them on. For some reason, doing the completely obvious and natural when pressed to make an unnatural choice makes men evil.

But in reality, men will choose the woman with the better personality every single time as long as she meets some minimum standard of attraction. And I don’t even think it’s true that men (and quite a few women!) would pick Alysa just because she’s bubbly. It’s because she seems like someone who wouldn’t be a man-hating misandrist, which are incredibly common now. She behaves like someone who’d be a real person and that you could be a real person around too. That’s incredibly rare now, to find a woman like that.

I mean, knowing nearly nothing about them, of course I’d choose Alysa every time. I’m not an idiot. I can’t even really see Eileen as objectively more attractive anymore because I do know a bit too much about her. International model means nothing for most men. Beauty always fades and you don’t even notice it after a week or two. But you definitely do notice when you’re with a horrible narcissist. Choosing someone like that makes your life hell forever.

Such Clownery

What I hate about this bullshit is if you wrote something like, “What did you have to teach your woman to make her into a better partner?” people would LOSE THEIR FUCKING MINDS.

But just as often — arguably a lot more so with American women — the woman is the terrible, inconsiderate and entitled one.

Men often understand women a lot better than women do men. Because we have no choice. Women do, because they are desired and valued no matter what. Meanwhile, we men are disposable until proven otherwise.

Switchboard

A few days ago, I was discussing with my partner that the left has largely become what used to be called “conservative,” especially economically, with the right having taken up in many areas what used to be called “progressive.”

Weird to see, and to experience in a single lifetime. And almost no one else notices it or will admit it if they do happen to catch sight of this heretical idea out of the corner of their eye.

For Equity

But these already are the same fuckin’ weirdos. They are deathly afraid of Covid but think some cracked-out violent psychopath should be allowed set you on fire or throw your baby onto the train tracks. For, like equity and anti-racism and stuff.

Evil and stupid is no way to go through life, but they are managing it. At least until some waste of humanity stabs them to death on the bus.
