@Bozza When you consider that the average healthy male produces 42 to 49 mg of test a week and 70 is the usual natural ceiling, you seem good evidence that even at high doses Test is not the bogey man the left would say it is.

Misandry is quite deep in our culture.

I think when it comes to risk taking dopamine is a huge contributor. Getting a large dopamine reward for a risk taking behaviour makes risk basically a drug. I think it shows up quite well with what cabergoline can do to change someone's risk taking personality. But also when you just think about the kind of guy who naturally gets/ craves plenty of dopamine, that life and soul of the party guy, craving stimulation, he does seem to naturally take quite a lot of risks in life.

@MentORPHEUS Yes its only rarely that you get a nice black (and thus we presume heat treated) one for free.

@Typo-MAGAshiv I am not in a dissimilar position having lived almost all of the last 26 years with women. I do sometimes reflect on the few blissful months in between when I female free. You do so much more real stuff in such times. We can't have it all. Having a woman is nice and anchoring but we would have made more of ourselves and gone deeper into understanding the world had we been alone and not taking care of women.

@Stigma Sounds about right for a labour government. UK fireworks are already gay. No more bangers, no more loud aerial shells. UK is a crap country with no individual freedom and no tolerance of any man having any fun unless its liberal fun like gay sex or drugs.

@Saltycroc Women are wired to always want better. Alpha males offer some advantages. Better Alpha males offer more advantages. A good rich simpy beta is usually worth a lot more to a girl than a poor value alpha.

Some will monkey branch to the rich generous beta and be faithful, some will monkey branch and be unfaithful, some will just cheat on the Alpha with the Beta in the hope of benefit coming to them. Some are just sluts and if Alpha is away she will play. Some will stay faithful.

Women differ by experience and by genetics and by circumstances. There are few rules apart form that they all want more. Some can resist temptations, others can't. Most can't resist a good temptation.

@adam-l Actually I think being "someone for whom things happen" (without doing any work) is the great dream of every woman. Maybe men would have had such a dream if society allowed -I really don't know- but for women it is the great fantasy and looking as good as you can is the key to it. Look hot, look special, get; attention, offers of help, free experiences and free stuff.

@First-light performativity is all they can perceive. You do... something, and... something happens.

Isn't it magic?

@Vermillion-Rx Such a picture makes me reflect that for many women anything is a stage. They want to exhibit themselves and so any routine act, still needs to be dressed for in a way that gains attention. "Look at my fake tits mowing the lawn. Gurl power!" Only hot men to complement her please. No creeps.

Just mow the lawn love. A man would have finished the job before you finished dressing for it.
