I made no demands. This is your emotional interpretation of the words shared. You asked a simple question, which in the interest of the possibility of an actual conversion, I answered. Interesting to note, there was only attempted manipulation presented after my good faith offering. You had your opportunity to respond with the same openness, but to you I am opponent whose ass you feel the need to kick in order to uphold your stereotypes and maintain your sense of superiority. Yes, I find you boring (patriarchal ideals and stereotypes often are to me these days). To me, you're just another bucket on the water wheel. And I find no use in going in endless circles with yet another man who presumes the right to speak for me, over me, or through me without ever honestly speaking with me. I wish you well. P.S. In the spirit of "showing things to the guys," the means of interaction you have witnessed here is a very good example of how to get a woman to walk away from you.

Oh my stars, should be read as an eyeroll.. kinda like, " are you for real" or "can you really be this daft." I'm glad however, the internal war of the poster is now clearly out in the open - even if I'm presently the screen it is presented on. You're delusions are showing.

Yes, much better to let you paint it for me, and present me as a caricature of myself instead. Easier for you to "ass kick" that way... nevermind if it's all in your own head and likely not in sync with my reality.

I read a couple of sentences, recognized the stance, and moved on.

I read a study recently which highlighted men often feel better about their performance on tests, even when women outperformed them. You can certainly feel good about this discussion if you wish, but to assume the kicking of ass may be a bit premature. By what parameters do you define "kicking ass"?

Motivated by underlying emotional and instinctual causes... It needs done, and since it needs done efficiency is in order. And please don't bother with the long quotes, either share your own thoughts and ideas and reasoning, or understand your sharing will largely be ignored by me.

Oh my stars! So you view this discussion as some sort of battle where you're basically "holding your own"?

Your point is women are more in touch with their spiritual natures?

Attacked? How imaginative. Is this part if the issue then? You imagining emotions not being felt by the person you're interacting with? If you are actually curious, my present emotion is amusement - which I would have assumed would be clear given the amount of laughing emoticons I've used here. Unless, of course, you get to speak for me, owing to what's between your legs, and any indication I actually present will be dismissed for the furtherance of your chosen narrative.

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Since we're at the daobums, arguably a spiritual forum, I would suggest there are most likely men here whose happiness is also not dependent upon outward curcumstance. Recognition of the inner "source," and it's natural expression is something many aspire to. Perhaps you've simply met more women who are naturally in touch with this than men, and maybe some of the men here could share their own experience to help broaden your horizons.

Is irony your second language?

How much energy and effort are you imaging this bit of banter is expanding, and more to the point, why would you imagine this? "Men Explain Things to Me" redux This is entirely dependent on how you define, categorize, and envision both. Define the terms. Would frustration and anger count as emotion? Would knowing the layout for easiest flow of household chores be logical? Where is the line between emotion and logic in navigating interpersonal relationships? And how do you rate your own response to the attractiveness of the females you are considering in the opening posts of this thread? Is this attraction only logical, or is their some underlying and perhaps unrecognized emotional component?

A man who has found his niche and audience - predominantly among incels and men feeling dejected by women having rights to make their own choices and speak for themselves. :yawn:

I wouldn't care if you did. Logically, and observationally, this idea women are more emotional is only tenable when certain emotions (as expressed by men) are negated as emotion and a patriarchal status quo is upheld, whereby men can speak with certitude and argumentation is entirely dismissed as this emotionality they somehow don't experience. It is anything but logical, while touting how very logical it is. Boring drivel as far as I'm concerned.

I thought nice guys finished last.

But, Jordan Peterson says blah blah blah, and this study indicates further blah blah blah... Thank you.

I'm curious if the individual is losing themselves in emptiness, or in thought. TWR has teachings available regarding both.

Wizard's first rule...

Just to be clear, your present stance is actually a dismissal of the "wet market" theory?

Well, this got kinda weird while I was away..

It's not so simple as you'd like to paint it, and I don't have the time to address this adequately at the moment. If you could take the time to consider what I've presented without the tendency to immediately dismiss, it may assist us with any further interaction.

For the sake of convenience, here it is again: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/04/notes-on-a-nightmare-5-the-chinese-virus

I will take the individual at their word regarding their own experience before I accept someone else's "spin" on the experience of another. And yes, it is a very emotional time right now - which is why chosen names and how what few facts we do have are presented matter. I have to go to work now, and will be bowing out of the discussion for awhile. Take care.
