Course Dis

Every woman who has flirted with me in public in the past year (10-12, not like I keep an exact count) has been between the age of 20-30. Every single one of them, no exceptions. Really shows the lie of the “feminist” discourse about how men my age are “grooming” these completely agency-free innocent little angels. Idiot liars.

A woman approached me in the supermarket parking lot yesterday literally less than an hour after I dropped my girlfriend off at the airport and attempted to chat me up. She was ~28, attractive, a bit nerdy, definitely my type. I’m not in the market but I should’ve tried to convert her into a friend. I was tired and impatient, though, so did not. Wish I had.

I’m not interested (have an amazing partner), but If I were in the dating market right now I’d be crushing it so hard people would wonder where all these diamonds came from.

Home Slice (of Pie)

Like I talked about below, a burger, fries and a slice of pie costing $30 is completely shocking. I remember when fast food used to be cheap.

I just ran some rough numbers and at home I could make four burgers (including all components, condiments, topping, buns, etc), fries and an entire chocolate creme pie (again, including all ingredients) for about that same price. That is fucking insane.

I fully support MAID for those who act all clown-ass.

On a more serious note, MAID will probably be increasingly used to get rid of inconvenient and disabled people, and maybe eventually anyone over a certain age, like that Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. Though come to think of it what would bother people now is the age gap between Beverly Crusher and the older dude, not that he was to be euthanized soon. She was ~35 and he was 64. Modern morons folks would only care about that non-issue, not the actual ethical issues involved in killing off people because they become less productive.

What times we live in.

Bad Risk Assessment

If women are told to protect themselves from men, why are they criticized when they actually do?

Partially, it is one of those no-win traps. That is fair and valid.

But also, most women are extremely, incredibly bad at recognizing risk in men that other men can determine are dangerous abusers nearly instantly. And those women do not seem to get better at it.

This, understandably, causes resentment when women avoid and disdain men who pose no threat while madly chasing those who will very obviously likely assault her, hit her, or far worse. And it happens all the time, no matter what women claim.

And no, this isn’t about sour grapes or whatever. I’m perfectly happy with the amount of female attention I’ve received in my life. It’s more about confusion (and this would be true of most men). It’s just vexing and mystifying to watch a woman who insists she cares about “safety” jaunt off with some dude who is about as safe as a crate of raw nitroglycerin in the back of an F1 car whipping around the track in Dubai.

All men (even the bad ones) know this is true, and nearly no women will admit it. So we are where we are.
