@AFTSOV Sure. It comes down to ego. The "test" I talk about it more of a heuristic , it answers where a man gets his validation, from within or without. When he needs a woman's approval (or fears her disapproval ) in such a visible manner, we can make the judgement that he relies on external validation.

Now everyone here should go read GLO's "Unknowability of a Beta Turd" post. Its one of my favorites of all time : (https://trp.red/t/7u7).

He argues that betas take the shape of whatever steps on them. In other words, they live for external validation. That's where the instability comes in. You cannot depend on these types of guys; they act unpredictably in search of warm fuzzies for their ego. You don't know what shape they will take next.

The break-down comes with the break-up. When the woman he pedestalizes no longer provides approval, he has no other way to get it. He has lost his sense of identity and thus anything can happen. I think it's safe to assume we've all seen guys nuke their lives over a breakup.

The flaw in my original post is actually that I made it too specific. You can actually apply a similar heuristic to women -

@potatofriedbbq It's coming. The dems are using the fact that Trump is so hated to shoehorn into power people who couldn't normally get elected. They got greedy in 2016 and tried to elevate Clinton when she'd have been completely unelectable against anyone else. This time, Biden is a pinch more electable, but he's not their goal. Harris is giddily waiting in the wings while they measure Biden for his coffin. And this 25th Amendment specter Pelosi is raising isn't about attacking Trump next term. It's about Biden. Removing Biden in favor of Harris, who then picks an extremist like Pelosi (or maybe Bernie or Warren or AOC) as her VP. Meanwhile, they add 30 people to the Supreme Court, all hardcore party-line progressives, ride what they think will be a congressional takeover next month, and rule the nation forever more. That's their idea, anyway.

@AFTSOV Too much of a good thing. The same girl, different girl, 18 different girls is irrelevant to the refractory period. That ultimately comes down to what's in your head. I've had similar issues in similar circumstances and have chalked it up to a few possibilities/probabilities:

1. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze. Either the girl isn't performing as I want (absent enthusiasm), the girl isn't as tight as I want (wrong friction), the girl isn't attractive enough, or one of a thousand reasons why the girl is creating a reason why I'm just not into it.

2. Pussy is just pussy. At some point it becomes less important and less priority...especially after recent post nut clarity kicks in.

3. Absence of emotional connection. Contrary to popular belief, men have emotions outside of anger and aggression we sometimes need/want to be fulfilled. Similar to number 2 above once that physical need of busting a nut is satisfied more is required emotionally to be physically responsive. This is when we are more inclined to be more interested in working through an issue with a car engine instead of fucking...our mind just isn't interested after that first nut.

Just my $0.02. Only you can answer the question that you pose.
