Nah I think it's still the best move to just shoot your shot.

Years ago, I was in a bookstore, and I realized I had forgotten to put my watch on that day. I asked the woman standing at the same shelf if she had the time. She looked me dead in the eye and said "don't talk to me".
LOL this is a wild story. Really is crazy though. It's kind of overblown sometimes in trad circles, but I do think that women being bitchy nowadays and having no manners is a huge part of the decline in marriage and fertility crisis etc.
Becomes way harder to shoot your shot as a man when women are willing to act like this to you. It stings a lot more when you're younger as well.
ETA: also grats on getting swole my ninja.

Of course. What self-respecting woman would marry a man who only spends $450,000 on a ring? Pfah.

Dang, advised a buddy to shoot his shot with a girl in a discord he was into. Apparently as soon as he admitted he had feelings she immediately blocked him and left the server.
Not sure how this guy asked her out, but generally he's a pretty socially competent guy. Not autistic or anything, has been married before and dated a good bit so not an incel type. It's just nuts that ladies by and large can be so neurotic when it comes to getting propositioned. Now his whole status in this server with folks he likes is in question.
Idk, obviously I don't understand the female experience here, but it really strikes me as a lack of maturity to react this way!!!
Anyway to make it fun, what's your best story about getting rejected and/or rejecting someone romantically?

Probably not a bad idea! Hey sometimes I get drunk and go on the internet. Like right now. Stands to reason other people might do the same...

Wrote a short blog post reflecting on being on twitter for a bit over a year! Didn't want to make a whole main motte post for it but I think it qualifies as fun if anyone is interested: https://shapesinthefog.substack.com/p/reflections-on-a-year-and-some-change

Thanks for calling this out, though it may go against the rules of the forum. I do agree that it's quite frustrating to see people bragging about looting the commons via SEO slop generation and acting as if they are better than people working normal jobs. Sigh.

The market (ﷺ) has determined that these vastly different items have roughly equivalent values. Isn't money wonderful?
Lmao. Money is strange. We live in such an odd world.
I appreciate you doing these.

Great post. I used to have these questions too, when I was more dysfunctional. I do think the destruction of stable families is upstream of a lot of the fertility crisis.

Even I, a 40 year old divorced man who sincerely misses in-office work because I did have age gap inappropriate sexual relationships with interns and that's harder to do now, thought the movie was too obvious in its direct contrasts of the sisters.
What a wild thing to just drop. Were they at least hot interns?

I’d recommend breaking down in front of him if that’s what is called for. I lost my dad when I was eight years old and I’d give anything for the chance.
Good luck. I hope you get more time with him.

This is way too defeatist my friend. While we yet draw breath there is hope. We absolutely can and will reverse this evil and corruption. Far mightier empires have fallen throughout history. It may seem impossible now, but things change gradually then all at once.
I've been seeing the normies get more and more radicalized my entire life. I think we're on a good trajectory.

Indeed, we have very different views of virtue. You're rather Neitzschean I suppose. It's a shame, you could be quite a force if you used your powers for good.... ;P

Indeed, you get it my friend. I also just took on a leadership position at my local parish, and am volunteering in a broader capacity with my larger church body.
I think that the best we can do is simply bide our time, spread awareness, and grow our social capital, our virtue, while supporting our side of the culture war here and there. Store up treasures in heaven, where moths can't destroy and thieves can't steal.

The only way I can plausibly imagine this working is men going NEET en masse, and that may arguably already be happening. But it's unclear to me what change an army of NEETs can effect.
Yeah this is the "lying flat" movement in China, which is spiritually corrupt imo.
Personally I prefer a strategy of working a low-effort job, enduring relative material poverty, and putting more effort/energy into building social capital, virtue, and an awareness of the problems.

Yes but this sort of hate-fueled rhetoric is just inaccurate which turns a ton of people off. Democrats lawmakers/elites are not openly murdering conservatives, poorly adjusted criminals and depressed schizos are. I understand that there's a strong argument to be made that the Democratic governance LEADS to these murders, but you have to actually make that argument!!
When you say things like
they can just murder you, your children, and your representatives and suffer virtually no political consequences.
This loses you the moral high ground, and the fight when it comes to normies. You're being taken in by your rage and making strategic mistakes. It's not just that it's factually wrong it's that it's a losing strategy.
Are you successful with women? Telling you, if you aren't willing to shoot your shot you never get anywhere.
