Another thought for the OP:
“Men age like wine. Women age like milk.”

...Let’s think about this for a moment.

Is it really the case that women age poorly?

Both men and women get wrinkles as they age. Both men and women go through the normal processes of thinning and loosening skin.

Is it possible that — and please, suspend your disbelief for a moment:

The same patriarchy that assigns value to women based on their innocence and youthfulness has completely colored our views on what it means to be a beautiful woman?

I think this post, from the same person Marcus linked, would add fuel to DT’s fevered notions about DA LAIDEEZ:

https://psiloveyou.xyz/why-the-nice-guy ... a1fbd39c0d

Why The “Nice Guy” And I Didn’t Fall In Love - Compatibility is a complicated thing.

… He seemed amiable and family-oriented. Just an all-around solid guy.

My anxiety questioned my decision. What if my motivation to end things was caused by a tendency to prefer toxically charming personalities?



If I honestly evaluate my past, it certainly seems like I had a deep-set proclivity for bad boys after all. Did that mean I should have given my date more chances?



If pursuing the jerk becomes pathological behavior, that would obviously highlight an area for self-improvement. I certainly had to work hard on myself to exorcize that tendency from my behavior.
It seems the sexes have impossible, IMPOSSIBLE I SAY, standards for one another these days. Speaking of which, I read somewhere that ~50% of Men Under Thirty are virgins. Incel virgins. Like. They ain’t gettin’ any, and they ain’t gonna get any. Could it be that young women don’t really vibe with dudes who lack personal discipline, aren’t motivated, and seem to think a passion for gaming is the same thing as a passion for life?

I dunno. But let’s ask an expert.

DT, why aren’t hot women in your area knocking down your door, brother?

I'm just making stuff up. Feminism has nothing to do with the increasing prevalence of Type 1 and Type 2.
Huh. Can we assume, then, that you will be adjusting your posts to reflect your new understanding?

For example, here:

This is very serious stuff. Only medical science can clean up this feminist mess.

Republicans who believe in traditional families are very stupid for not bringing this up.

The incidence of diabetes has been declining since 2008. However, I think the decline will end within the next five years. The diabetes incidence will surpass the 2008 peak in 20 years due to multiple factors. I think feminism is a contributing factor :D .

It’s not just eyewitness identification that is unreliable. It’s eyewitness testimony in general.
Just don't tell feminists that, or they'll eat you alive. :lol:

Of course, given some time and what you start with, you might end up with (1) vinegar, and (2) a superb Camembert.

I think it's possible that women are considered more attractive when they are in their child-bearing years because men associate their own virility with the ability to impregnate a female. I'm not talking about a woke perspective, I'm talking about the biological imperatives that have made human beings the dominate creature on the planet.

There's some truth to the 80/20 rule . 80% of young women want to be with the top 20% of guys. A lot of young women have impossible standards, but they lower their standards after age 30.

And MeToo is making things a lot harder for young men. Read the last pargraph of this study, it talks about how the culture is getting impacted by MeToo https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/1 ... 3121996854

Another study finds a significant decline in sexual activity after 2017.

I'm busy and working on myself brother. I can easily get with a Hispanic woman in her early 20s if I want to.

Thumbs up!

It's all predicted by human evolution. There's no need to read feminist nonsense.

That will obviously have different effects, which could be positive or negative.
There are positives and negatives.

A woman with GDM is more likely to have a child that develops Type 2 diabetes later in life. Isn't that very serious?

Older mothers are also more likely to have children with Type 1 diabetes.

I've been saying that for years. It's good to know that you never read anything I say. :D

Here's the only thing you've posted that can be taken at face value.

You need to stop talking about women as though they are things. This advice has been given to you many, many tmes, but you don't seem to get the point. Please stop with the incel language and mannerisms. They are disgusting.
