Why do people get married only to cheat or divorce? Shouldn't they know if they're happy to be together BEFORE they get married?

Its because they're having sex before they get married.
Sex clouds their judgement and they spend less time talking and more time just satisfying themselves.
How can you know if you mesh well with someone if you have sex with them, it's like trying to take make good decisions while drunk.

This is terrible advice. Sex doesn't work like that you fucking retard. You'd know if anyone wanted to have sex with your ugly ass.

Anonymous 125211

It's because of birth control and pornography. Both of these things divorce sex from its intended purpose in marriage.

How do we save female socialization? Anonymous 124400[Reply]

I'm tired of making female friends only to end up being ignored or excluded because I don't share their political opinions. Female friend circles seem to be built on fear, and I'm done with it. I made a decision not to pretend anymore—but now, I don't have any female friends left, just because I don't believe that anyone who identifies as a woman is necessarily a woman.

i am getting more autistic as i age Anonymous 121894[Reply]

22yo autistic girl diagnosed at 16. up until last year i never thought anything of it. that it was just some stupid label given by the doctors to label me as difficult and stuck up.
but now it seems my autism diagnosis wasn't actually a lie. i never had friends that i could get along with like other kids since i was 5 until now. people talking hurts my ears. i didn't really like any of my peers, they were always too outgoing and bright for me. they always did unsoliticed physical contact that made me so uncomfortable i ended up not leaving the house for the next few days. for some reason i cannot handle theatre audio systems anymore. i have to wear ear plugs just so i can watch movies on a big screen in film quality. everything sounds too sharp, like nails on a chalkboard. i cannot maintain eye contact with my psychiatrist and my therapist while talking. i talk staring at my hands while i fold and unfold the paper with my queue number on it (i bought a fidget cube so i can stare at my hands doing useless shit for as long as i need, paper degrades too easy). making exaggerated facial expressions like other people has gotten impossible. (people have gotten worried because my face is unmoving while i interact with them)
i feel like myself in high school where i hated everyone because i couldnt understand them for being so excited and so loud. now im in college and i can understand them more due to reading more philosophical/psychological topics on the human mind. but no matter how much i fucking "nerd out" i can never be truly human and day by day i feel more and more detached with humanity.

i'm turning into a sociopath. the more i have to make myself acceptable to society the more i feel like i am disappearing. this sucks. what if i really disappear and when i do have a chance to be a mother to a daughter, my rhetorical daughter will hate me for being so emotionally flat/empty/dead inside?

say that my dreams of raising a daughter better than my parents raised me will never come to anything. it'll hurt and i'll cope with that but, there are some days i feel so detached and not myself i have this slight unease if i murder family. i already hate my parents so i feel like they'll be the victims foremost if i do lose myself. but what i'm scared of is being so far gone. i commit murder in catatonia and get assessed in court in a catatonic state. no longer human, no different than an animal.

the early 20s is when people usually start figuring themselves out, but it takes a while and that process may be longer or harder for someone with autism/social difficulties. there is nothing wrong with being withdrawn or disinterested in popular hobbies/activities. look for things you like doing, appreciate the time spent doing those things, use your time wisely to cultivate your skills.
eventually you'll find like-minded people and form sincere friendships with them, but if you're not interested in that, there's nothing inherently wrong with it either.

if you still live with your parents, try to limit your time around them until you manage to live by yourself. understand people unfortunately will always have certain expectations, but not meeting them doesn't determine your self worth.

focus on what you can do to feel better and build a routine that isn't distressing to you, since you have a lot of sensory issues.
if you truly dream of having a daughter, dont give up on it because of current limitations. but for now you should focus on yourself. once you improve your situation then you can start thinking about that.

being scared of hurting others/going crazy are common fears for people who have gone through abuse. that drives you closer to humanity, not further from it

take care

Are men evolving to a sociopathic hivemind? Anonymous 123286[Reply]

This is a genuine question, because I can't fathom any other reasoning. Courting is dead, it's gone. In no particular order the following occurs: love bombing, ghosting, mirroring, hot/cold method. Even my friends who fit the patriarchal male gaze to an absolute T (virgin, quiet, submissive) are getting stepped on. It seems like all or nothing, there is no slow progressional vetting before a clear decision is made. Many other girls around me in my career and academia have given up on the idea of marriage and children. The ones that haven't tend to have a man-child tier boyfriend or they're accepting to be chronically cheated on.

The ideology that women have to be top 1% of females to deserve a male counterpart that doesn't wreck havoc on livelihood and minds is insane. I've talked to many boomers and they agree something is universally wrong; we are no longer just homemakers, but we have the ability to be that and MUCH MUCH more, how are we all fundamentally somehow "never enough" for them?

Tinder has, like, 8 million US users out of its 72 million young adult population. (many of them never using the app for real probably) People grossly overestimate how much of a grasp dating apps have on society for some reason. If anything zoomers are having sex less and less.

That said, I'm not sure OP stated where she meets her men, so maybe this is true for her.

This is an observable fact, and in general, society is way less sexualized than 15, 20 years ago. People just percieve otherwise because it is easy to look at porn on your phone and because they grossly overestimate how many people use tinder, onlyfans and so on.

Men don't want you to be much much more. They want you to be their servant. They want to impregnate every woman they see (yes, all of them) and they want to keep 'the best' around as domestic servants.

99% of them can't do that, but they all get as close to that ideal as possible. You choose where on the scale of 'too much of a loser to pump and dump' and 'chad enough to pump and dump' you wanna land.

The whole phenomenon of this dude is proof that standards/body-shaming/fatphobia don’t exist for males. If the original post had been of a woman it would be like any other post and be lost to time. But because someone had the audacity to try to socially enforce any rock bottom, bare minimum physical standard for the sacred male, everyone threw a fit and he got a whole media festival of events, money and opportunities thrown at him for weeks on end. In real life a female is torn to shreds for not spending most of her mental energy on appearances, but something as febrile as “hey maybe a male shouldn’t be so fat he can barely walk” is completely socially unacceptable and would get you fired while every handmaiden within ten miles performatively throws themselves on his gangrenous fat-entombed micropenis.

Dealing with getting doxxed Anonymous 124922[Reply]

hello nonas,
i hope you don’t mind me reaching out and i hope you guys are doing amazing, but i’m feeling really lost and overwhelmed right now a few months ago my pictures and personal information were doxxed and since then i can’t stop thinking about it every time i check the website they’re still talking about me commenting on my body and it makes me feel absolutely worthless i don’t have anyone i can talk to about this and the anxiety is constantly on my mind i’m terrified they’ll find a way to reach my family something i would never want to happen it’s been consuming me and i feel like i’m trapped in this cycle of sadness the fact that they post about me regularly makes it almost impossible to resist checking the site even though i don’t want to i keep blaming myself for trusting people online and sharing my pictures with them when i rejected them they started circulating my images and using them to hurt me i have their pictures too but i’m afraid posting them would only make things worse giving them more fuel i’ve been inactive for a while but i still check the site now and then each time i hold onto a little bit of hope that things might have changed but i’m always left disappointed because they still keep posting about me even after all this time what should i do i feel so confused and lost. i’m so scared this will follow me into the future especially as i try to build a career in a public role i can't stop thinking about how my past will always be there lurking waiting to catch up with me when i was 17 i made racist remarks and hurt people with my words even if i thought they were just jokes or satire i was wrong i was cruel and i was selfish hiding behind anonymity thinking it didn’t matter but it did and it does i can’t change what i did and i know that no amount of regret will take away the harm i caused i feel lost in this realization but i accept it i accept that this part of me this mistake is something i have to carry with me forever i wish i could take it all back i wish i could undo the pain i caused but i can’t all i can do now is be sorry and try to be better even though i know it might never be enough

That is strange they'd go on so long without you interacting at all… they sound like real freaks. It's not what you want to hear but without new material they're going to have to move on eventually. I understand the temptation to keep looking but the best thing you can do is put it out of your mind. Just because they refuse to get a life doesn't mean you should waste yours too.

yes nona i feel uncertain about what steps to take i have been trying to distance myself from all of this yet i cannot help but think that filing a report may not bring any real change since they could simply dissolve this group create another exclude me from it and still misuse my pictures nona what troubles me further is the thought that they might somehow discover my current address my college or even my parents workplace though i think this is unlikely and perhaps i am being overly paranoid.how are you doing nona? i apologize if i am troubling you.
here's a deer for you ^-^
nona how do i keep my mind off of it, it has been really very hard im sorry to make this all about myself but it's extremely mentally draining (i do have "somewhat" of an ongoing social life but i am the very point where i keep thinking about it even if i am out with other people)

When you're saying they could make another group and exclude you from it, makes me think maybe it's clear to them you still have access to this group? You should leave if they can see that. That might be prolonging the issue if they can see you still have access.

The best way to keep your mind off something is to get busy with other things, like calling friends or hanging out, watching a movie, listening to music, reading books, or doing something physical like crocheting painting running etc. Idk if many batting cages are around anymore but it's fun to go out and hit something as hard as you can. I understand if it still comes to mind when you're with people but don't stop making plans and doing activities. Just avoid being idle because that's when your mind starts filling up the blank space with things it can get nervous about.

It's ok to make it all about you nona it's your thread. I've stressed about stuff like this on the internet before and life has always moved on for me. I hope you feel better soon.

Anonymous 125186

yes nona. they can see that i am in the group but i remain inactive. they cannot know for certain whether i have read the messages so they might only assume that i do. i feel a strong desire to leave the group chat but my anxiety convinces me to stay. it tells me that if i leave they might focus on me more or uncover something else about me?
i went out with friends to keep my mind off of it and ended up checking it again after i came back home. :\
i really need to compel myself physically not to check it again i genuinely should but i am unable to.
nona, could you share what happened with you and how did you get out of it?

You definitely should leave the group then. Make it a formal thing for yourself, it's time to start a new chapter and move on. Knowing you're able to see the messages can be playing a big role in why they keep going like this especially if people know you're anxious and the type of person who wouldn't be able to stop reading the updates.

For me someone unhinged got pics of me and posted them in many places insulting me. They also got my full name and where I work. They tried to threaten me at first but I blocked their accounts and left wherever it was happening. It's been years and nothing has happened irl. At the end of the day people move on, that stuff gets buried eventually and I don't care about what crazy people think. Let them waste their life with that, I have better things to do, and so do you nona

i am the worst person in the world Anonymous 124716[Reply]

most women are deluded when they think they meet a good man. all my life i've never met a good man. until i met this one. his behavior was akin to Jesus Christ. it seemed as if it was physically impossible for him to do anything which even mildly inconviences anyone, let alone hurting anyone. as for me, it seems like i am physically incapable of doing anything but hurting people. to cut it short, he absolutely did not deserve what i did to him. i met him online and within less than a month of dating i got blackout drunk and cheated on him. like an idiot i talked to my friends about it because i cant keep my mouth shut about anything. i talked to my best friend about it and what we decided was since it was so early on and i genuinely saw a future with him i should just move on from it. forget about it. so i didn't tell him. we kept talking.

we decided we wanted to see eachother in person. he spent $5000 on a plane ticket and an airbnb for 25 days. i started birth control- the Opill, 3 days before he came. the first 2 days were heavenly. then on the 3rd night we shared a bottle of vodka together. i was doing okay until i put on his boxers. i was reminded of what i had done to him. i grabbed a kitchen knife and started to cut myself in front of him. i cut my neck. then we went to sleep. the dream was over. over the course of the next couple weeks i just wanted to stay in bed all day. i kept arguing with him over the tiniest things. it was like i was constantly on edge. he said it felt like i was never actually there, never "lucid enough to have an actual conversation with." we only had sex a few times because he said he could only have sex with someone who he felt loved him and he didnt feel like i loved him. we didn't go out a lot, not a lot of "cute dates…" we went out to fast food joints a few times. then he broke up with me. he said we could still stay friends and he could keep "taking care of me" but we couldn't have a romantic relationship anymore. he said i should leave the airbnb for a few days. my best friend, who lives nearby where we were staying, asked for his discord tag because "he's a foreigner trapped in an airbnb alone and we (her and her roommate, an acquaintance of mine who also knew what i had done to him,) want to be there for him incase anything goes wrong." then i left to go home.

then it gets worse. basically to cut it short they told him i have something to tell him and i threatened suicide over it. i video cPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

boyfriend says he feels catfished by me? Anonymous 125071[Reply]

ive been dating this guy for about 6 months and its been really good until recently. he's super sweet, attractive, intelligent, very much a catch. ive never been with a guy who ive felt so happy to be with and i havent dated in a while.

things were going well until recently, when we were hanging out at his house and i was sitting on his couch sans makeup.

thing is, ive worn pretty heavy makeup when we first met, and i haven't taken it off until now. i noticed he was being really distant and i asked him why.

that's when everything came to head. he reluctantly admitted he felt really disappointed with how i naturally look and he was more excited to date me when i was done up. he went on to say he felt lied to and that i look significantly different without it.

i had no idea what to say so i just told him that he shouldn't be dating me if it was bothering him that much. he told me he wasn't sure how to bring it up to me and that maybe we weren't as great of a fit as he originally thought.

ever since then ive been replaying the event in my head and we're still together, but there's now an awkward distance between us. ive been feeling really down about the whole situation and have no idea of how to move forward.

nonas, what would you do if you were me? ive never had this problem with boyfriends until this week and i now feel pretty insecure about my makeup usage. i have no idea if he still likes me and we havent spoken as much after the conversation happened.

i'd appreciate any advice. thanks for listening if you've gotten this far.

Definitely sympathetic to you op, though I've never been in a relationship. People can't "catfish" by wearing makeup. Men who accuse women of catfishing by wearing makeup need to get over themselves, and I say this as a makeup free woman, they should stop guilt tripping using the term catfish. To men "catfishing" is worse than being a serial cheater so you know he doesn't respect you, and all his boy friends are pitying him because his woman is slightly less attractive than he hoped.

If he wanted a woman who wore makeup 24/7 or a woman who never wore makeup he should've made that explicit instead of feeling sorry for himself.

You intentionally artificially improved your appearance and he saw you with the mask off. Its the IRL version of using Photoshop. What did you expect?

Anonymous 125190

men and women both, but particularly men, are attracted to pretty / beautiful faces due to evolutionary psychology.

"If in our evolutionary past, information was present about a person's mate and/or social value (e.g. provisioning ability, genetic quality) in any way, then an advantage would accrue to those who used these signs and those individuals would leave more genes behind in the next generation. Theoretically then, preferences guide us to choose mates who will provide the best chance of our genes surviving. In many studies, this evolutionary view of attractiveness has been used to predict the specific characteristics of attractive faces."

Makeup is an arms race to level the playing field for those who don't have natural beauty and good looks. It's purposely obfuscated/obtuse by its users (men and women alike who use it, including people like actors) so that its "victims" don't realize whats going on.

You just pulled the veil off and now his evolutionary psychology has kicked in in overdrive saying "this is not right"

Men aren't any more visual than women. Anyone who says this is trying to con love and twist your arm into pretending you're attracted to apes, and therefore drop your expectations and standards to the point they're in a basement in hell.

Relatively, they are. Men don't care about women's wealth or education, they care much less about non facial physical traits too (height, hands, etc). All that's left is facial attractiveness.
