This isn't unique to Stoicism either. Many(if not most of)the most spectacular philosophical traditions encourage us to not get overly attached to anything. Why? Because everything is impermanent and in constant flux, Aeon or otherwise
Yeah, it's far more beneficial to remind the ailing man that his emotions are just the byproduct of his(distorted and hyperbolic)thoughts and beliefs regarding the event in question... We all have near-absolute power over how much and sort of pain we experience
There's a huge cultural aspect that cannot be avoided, which started in my time when women complained about guys not showing their feelings enough. I had an excuse*, but many guys turned into crybabies, who in turn of course couldn't get laid anymore.
That can be easily weaponized against men, its called Weaponizing men's protecting instinct, that's one think that fvcks men up, they see her crying and they cater to her wimp. Its primal, women don't need protection any more.

At this point you probably have a woman (or multiple women) chasing you around, calling you all the time, wanting to be with you. So let's talk about how to KEEP a woman interested in you once you have her. This is BIG! There is nothing worse than getting dumped by a woman that you really, really like.

Can you step out of your self-victimising mindset?
You confused me with somebody else.
some distillation of truth. There is a narrative among women that if a man really wanted to date, he could. He could even get a dime piece without issue. This isn't true, most single men would like to date and have a supply of reliable ass especially during winter season when the loneliness and dry spells cut deeper. The harsh truth today in most metro cities in the USA is that the average man isn't good enough for the average woman. I see this spilling over to Mexico too. What’s the first thing a chick asks you “what do you do”. She don’t care bout your name unless she is genuinely an uncut diamond in the dirt. Even current dating can’t escape h0eflation.
You mean you were quoting someone else who was talking about how women 'weaponise' our primal urges against us?
Are you not self-victimising here? This 'they're out to get you' attitude is defeatist. And it fosters a negative attitude towards women being the cause of 'f*cking men up'. Not all women are trying to bring men down. The few that are you can easily distinguish if you keep your eyes open and not let your penis make decisions for you.
Read what I wrote, not what you want to read, women's tears can be used as a tool to get men to do what they want, every Alpha who knows about dating knows that, except you, apparently, Mr. Psychologist.
I know that you're afraid of women and the power they seem to sway over you, 'Mr. Alpha'. 'Weaponise men's primal instincts against them'.
Many women manipulate others via tears, and many men do likewise with anger/threat displays. Such has been life, likely from the beginning
True. Difference should be this.
Women always have in their mind "Ah if this doesn't work, I could just DM one of my IG followers." Most men can't really do that unless they're blue-checked lit millionaires.
Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.

Last thing any attractive woman wants is to have a roll in the hay with one of her IG followers.
It's always relevant to remind people of @Desdinova and his High Score Theory post. I agree with that idea too.

Yes. This is relevant in medium to longer term relationships (1 year+).
Stoicism is a good idea.
Why would I be fearful of a being who can't even make up their minds about anything?
Women don't have force, they have manipulation. Mr. Psychologist @AmsterdamAssassin should know that. I imagine a woman crying and him embracing her so she can cry on his shoulder like a good emotional tampon hahaha. Your secret is safe with us brother.
Crotch Rot vs Gonorrhea, hombre... Same phenomena. From '17-today, we here in The Post-Industrial West have been pissing away irreplaceable minutes of our lives, desperately trying to prove each other wrong at all costs, rather than honestly sharing thoughts and ideas
Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.
