@adam-l there is a shrinking pool of not-shitty stuff out there. I enjoy scifi and fantasy, which seem to be the hardest hit unfortunately.

I was hyped for the Witcher until they made the story more about Jennefer and Ciri than the actual fucking witcher. It's not as bad as some, at least Ciri struggles in her training instead of spontaneously being the most power badass bitch ever but the focus of the story is all wrong.

So yeah

I didn't mean to post my question in the weapons appreciation tribe. I think I mis-clicked somehow in TRP red

Just gonna continue it in public square instead

"This is going to be a bit of a black pill/dark red pill question:

Can you actually trust a woman to be consistently honest to the point you can reliably believe virtually everything she says?

If YES, when do you know that?

If NO, how do you ever allow yourself to have any meaningful connection with one short of knowing everything she's doing?"

@TwoInchesOfShaft there's things about Walsh I want to like, but his view of all this is too high up. By which I mean, he's always on about how certain dynamics between the sexes made for a well-functioning society. However, he doesn't seem to care at all about the individual in that society. So yes, traditional marriage made for a stable and steadily advancing society for hundreds of years but he completely ignores that the social contract is broken and its not coming back short of a total collapse. He can't see the forest for the trees.

@Vermillion-Rx you've got this framed up all wrong. It doesn't matter whether you can believe her. She's going to so whatever she's going to do. You're going to do whatever you're going to do. As long as those two things line up, you'll be doing her.

The glass is already broken.

@MentORPHEUS thanks for this man, healthy masculinity is what I'm striving for and itsbalways good to know that I'm not alone. I've never heard of that scale before but looking at it is very interesting, especially how some of the things that can be very stressful are ones most people would consider "good", like a new family member ect.

That first date really threw me for a loop, but I'm really glad I decided to go on the second one. I got out of my head and had a lot of fun.

@TwoInchesOfShaft happy to report that's exactly what happened! The venues weren't super high energy, we went to a brewery and then 2 bars downtown. Definitely got back into the right mindset once the ball was rolling.

@lurkerhasarisen oooooof yes my pets are definitely much safer now haha!

@lurkerhasarisen haha say what?
