Either directly or indirectly, I talk a lot about rejection on SS. Usually this is due to rejection, and the fear of it, being the root cause of so very many mental schemas, behaviors, rationales, etc. for guys. My thread Buffers outlines many of these rationales or conventions used to deaden...

BAT, the idea that a man viewing / using porn is equitable to infidelity is a feminine operative convention - namely shame. Women masturbating is liberating or empowering, if not downright sexy. A man masturbating is failure, perversion and vile. Why do you suppose that is? What would be the...

Does it strike anyone else as strangely convenient the the "Womanizer" episode should, oddly enough, air around the same time frame Brittney Spears has a top 40 hit called "Womanizer"? Manufactured indignation is better than no indignation at all.

Why would you want an LTR at 26?

Getting back the OP's original thought, I understand what your interpretation is, all I'm asking you to do is ask yourself why you'd think they were "bitter"? This is a feminine social convention that's in the same vein as shame. Any guy that has a point about the feminine, no matter how valid...

One of the surest indicators of an AFC mindset is the automatic presumption that anything remotely critical a man would say about women is equated with misogyny. All a man need do is open his mouth, in the most objective way he can muster, about anything critical of the feminine and he's...

Heheh,..we have all kinds of experimental samplers. We looked at a Ginger flavor about a year ago, but we have to market research stuff that's off market like that. We have to look at the entirety of a market to justify producing a new flavor. Ginger might go huge in say Boston, but we can't...

I have no neighbors living next door; only front doors with foreclosure notices tacked to them.

The "Relationships are work" mythology is a Social Convention. How often do you hear men say these words? This has filtered into popular consciousness even with men now. For the LTR men who subscribe to this I'd also speculate that many of them are in relationships where they are "doing the...

Manufactured indignation is better than no indignation at all. If one thing defines the human condition it's our addiction to a rush. Whether it's stimulated by jumping off a bridge with a bungie cord around our legs, watching porn, reading a romance novel, watching a horror movie or living...

Tyra who? Ohhh,..you mean that former Victoria's Secret model who finally aged and fattened up to the point where she was no longer hot enough to hold guy's attention? That Tyra Banks? The one who got her own show placating to the very same women she used to make feel insecure and inferior to...

I wonder how many women are really contemplating about how to "keep their men happy"? Other than the occasional "sex secrets that every man wants" article in Cosmopolitan, I don't think they're overly concerned with this. So the more interesting question would be, why is it incumbent upon a man...

Here's a secret - there's no such thing as contentment. Being content implies that life is static, it's not, and to be honest, how boring would that be anyway? Life consists of varying states of discontentment: why else would you bother doing anything? But the good news is that it's more fun and...

I'm quite familiar with Maslow actually and I should point out that all of the higher 'needs' in the pyramid necessitate that the lower base needs are met prior to actualization and more esoteric concerns (needs). I should also point out that the self analysis required to evaluate where a person...

You're 28. How is this at all a problem? I sincerely doubt the problem is that 21-23 y.o. women aren't into 28 y.o. guys. It's not age related (in your instance).

ALRIGHT another Secret thread! Game on! I still have a few Brazilian power crystals left in the gara,..ehr,..warehouse. They're going fast, act now.

Maybe I legally changed it to Rollo Tomassi? Hmmm,..?

Don't be a Mikey

Pornography I realize this will draw some fire from the masturbation / no-masturbation set here, but porn (as men use it) is a Buffer against rejection. Porn doesn't talk back, porn doesn't need a few drinks to loosen up nor does porn require any social skills to produce rewards. It's...

Hey, good news, I can think of a much easier way for you to hook up,... Go meet new women. Spin more plates. You need to see your desire to escalate this 'friend' into something more for what it is - A BUFFER AGAINST REJECTION. You're looking for the easiest way to transition back into the...
