    And now there are 9 of them, with 1 being biological, what's the deal with this?
    when raising a multitude of children at various ages ((as a modern male, the majority were not mine biologically)for example, I was first introduced to one of my X's son's when he was 14, I do feel like I was an influence but can I truly claim to be a parent? some times I think yes, some times no.. but that's a bit of a difficult topic tbh); definitions and life blur lines a bit.

    Quote Posted by Mashika (here)
    And do you even know their names, or as soon as the mother goes out of the picture that child is fatherless for all you care? How can someone not keep correct count of their children that way amazes me to no end...
    every single one, and several have joined the military to my chagrin (though retrospectively that was the example I gave).

    Quote Posted by Mashika (here)
    "5, 6 8, 9 whatever, there were some kids and now their gone"
    gone? no, I'm a grand father with 5 grand children currently... where have they gone?

    Quote Posted by Mashika (here)
    Dude you have issues, stop pretending you don't, and is not my problem and we won't argue about it here because this is not something even remotely related to the thread topic, but clearly you need to work on some stuff on your side of things and not to say that it's wrong that you post videos about crazy dumb illiterate american women, but that's not all there is to it on this story, clearly

    Hasta la Vista
    I do agree that I have issues, though I think most of us do (at least to some extent).

    I honestly did not mean for my input on this topic to be a cause of strife; I am sorry that my return to this forum has caused issues.

    So glad to see you returning Target, over the last few years you have had an amazingly challenging journey, full of fun, positivity, then catastrophe. Your stoicism has been inspirational, your support for your extended family heartwarming. Hope you are doing well wherever you are, and whatever you do

    I fully believe that we are presented with challenges that are with in our ability to overcome, though sometimes not our will; but that seems to be a constant byline in stories and legends throughout time.

    I'm still working through an overly extended transitionary period. But again, I trust that the challenges I face are ones that I can overcome.

    To tie this back into the thread a bit, I've just recently watched the new "Thor" movie...

    I feel it fits very tangentially into this thread.



    Thor is now "finding himself" for the what... 4th time (also, love how "lady thor" explains thor's weapon and its capabilities as an expert after a week when he has been doing it for thousands of years)? I do love how they make fun of the "dad bod" yet only have rarely achieved female figures shown for the majority of the cast.

    The same questions posed to different people; the divide is very interesting and the concept interesting.



    Is the oldest profession a negative or positive to society? What is the purpose of intimacy in modern society?

    I love how culture is a head of politics AND entertainment....

    this type of "amber herd" behavior is no longer blindly allowed.... we all know exactly what is happening here and being dishonest and playing the victim is no longer an option.

    A logical explanation (if a very esoteric one, stemming from Theosophy) of the current "gender-bending" phenomena.

    "In this all new episode of Mars Mysteries we explore the occult meaning of mars and its powerful influence on society. We discuss Mars in its most regressive condition which leads humanity towards a regressive hyper-technological future that includes genetic engineering, the deletion of women and the use of AI and machines for occult purposes.

    Time Stamps:
    0:00 Intro
    2:33 The occult meaning of mars
    14:35 How does the regressive mars impulse manifest in our world?
    The worship and occult use of technology
    18:25 Hyper-Futurism (extreme futurism)
    20:25 Transhumanism
    24:06 The destruction of the feminine and women
    34:49 Mars needs women!
    39:57 The Evolutionary dead end and the mars regressive impulse. The degeneration of consciousness and loss of perception.
    55:29 Summary/Conclusion "

    Women Would Rather Be Miserable Than Bored


    A hetero woman suffering the burden of dating a nice guy

    “I am finally dating someone who is kind, and smart, and likeable and attractive, and great, and the sex is awesome.”

    But….

    “He’s emotionally available…”

    He’s like a woman.

    “…and actually likes me.”

    I have been pumped and dumped and treated like a pret a-piledrive for so long I get creeped out by men who don’t see how worthless I am as a long term partner.

    “We have hobbies in common”

    Try-hard.

    “I don’t have to earn his affection.”

    Which means he’s not worth earning.

    “I don’t have to play guessing games to figure out what he’s thinking or what he needs.”

    If my rationalization hamster isn’t spinning, my vagina isn’t sideways grinning.

    “I hate this.”

    So give me the right to vote and Ill take out my existential femaleness on my nation.

    “I keep almost breaking it off…”

    Instead, I’ll just cheat on him for the duration.

    “…but I keep not because I think it would be great if I can make it work.”

    I will never logic myself into feeling giney tingles.

    “It makes me feel like I am permanently broken.”

    A woman can promise loyalty and love to a good man, but if his personality, attitude, temperament, and masculinity don’t excite her then every day will be a losing battle waged against an ancient desire.

    Hilariously, same type of urge to find the novel in a partner exists with men too, but since we are heavily visual biased it is handled differently (or should be) by our potential partner.

    The behavior behind this urge to seek can be exhibited in hilarious ways when viewed objectively.

    I've run into this wall and realized this is a part of my side of the relationship and I have to work on it for her.

    random flowers and making her laugh every day has worked so far, good thing she thinks I'm funny!

    Making time for fun is important too (as long as it's inclusive and interesting for her).

    This is interesting stuff

    It's more art than science, and the balance is a little different from woman to woman, but basically it goes something like this: if you give a woman too much of the nice guy, she will crave the a$$hole guy. If you give her too much of the a$$hole guy, she will crave the nice guy.

    The job of the husband or boyfriend then is to try to read her mind to determine which version of you she wants in any given moment. If you are bad at this form of mind reading, over time, she'll leave you in the hopes of finding a more accurate mind reader

    Body language
    is key! But really it mostly boils down to focus and attention we both want it, females perhaps a bit more than males.

    Has anyone had experience of meeting their twin flame?
    My experience is very like what Vicus posted.
    It got too good and she did a runner
    Got overwhelmed.
    This is classic Twin Flame as was her Kundalini awakening.
    I agree that women can get bored with Mr Nice Guy even though everything in the relationship works well

    Body language
    is key! But really it mostly boils down to focus and attention we both want it, females perhaps a bit more than males.


    I totally agree. And men get better at that as they get older, generally speaking.

    I can't recall who said this (maybe Jordan Peterson), but I think it's on the money: women are attracted to competence and a capacity for danger.

    When they're younger and naive they often confuse sociopaths for competent men. Which accounts for their attraction to "a$$holes". There's something there they're looking for, they're just misidentifying it. So when they drop the a$$hole and go for the "nice guy", they're often disappointed because the "nice guy" is often lacking in competence and a capacity for danger and is laying on the niceness extra heavy in an attempt to make up for what they're lacking...

    So they're not really "nice" ultimately; they're just exploiting a role. Most women, early on anyway, aren't able to sort this out, so it's quite confusing for them.

    So they'll often bounce back and forth between 2 different types of men who are superficially performing traits that they deeply desire (in some kind of balance), while never feeling truly satisfied with either

    Has anyone had experience of meeting their twin flame?
    My experience is very like what Vicus posted.
    It got too good and she did a runner
    Got overwhelmed.
    This is classic Twin Flame as was her Kundalini awakening.
    I agree that women can get bored with Mr Nice Guy even though everything in the relationship works well
    Chris

    Hey Chris, yeah I think both partners have to retain some degree of mystery, regardless of how close they become. I think a little mystery and intrigue is a biological requirement for attraction over time.

    One thing that always makes me cringe is when someone says, My boyfriend/girlfriend (or husband/wife) is my best friend..

    Whenever I hear that I know the relationship is doomed.
