You’ll Live

Women with tattoos become far less desirable to most men. These women then go on to feel that they are being rejected by those men “for no good reason.” And this makes them insanely angry1.

Women in general almost never get to feel what incels feel. It’s telling that their reactions to being spurned are 100% identical to the general incel response. This just shows that even as different as men and women can sometimes seem, we’re still mostly the same. Especially for women who are particularly unaccustomed to rejection, if someone else has standards that exclude you it feels like a personal slight.

But as women always smugly tell men who endure storms of lifelong rejection: Get the fuck over it. Welcome to the real world where actions have consequences. You’ll live.

  1. Of course, this is women foot-shooting. The vast majority of the top 1% men these women are chasing do not want a woman blighted with tattoos.

Charles Hugh Smith: Unaffordable Housing and Homeless Encampments: How Did It Get This Bad?

Charles is one of the few (maybe a few dozen?) in the country who actually understand how housing prices currently work in the United States. Basically no one in the press does. None of the real estate “analysts” except maybe one or two do. Zero real estate agents do, of course, because they know nearly nothing.

It’s insane that something so important and that is the repository of vast wealth is so poorly understood by so many. I think that is deliberate, though — if people actually comprehended how it works and why it works that way, far more of them would rebel against it and demand change.

Hence, all the propaganda is designed to lead one down the wrong epistemic path.
