You probably aren't "practicing stoicism" so much as being an autist and using that as an excuse

>start practicing anti-natalism
>women still don't like me

>>14342490
You wont give a shit about virtue when you are 6 inches deep inside a woman

>>14342490
What is virtue absent of qualities? How can Virtue be a virtue? You have made an empty set your prime value.

you sure you didn't just get fat?

>>14342484
How did you act before? In my experience if you are still active socially and you treat women like you don’t care if they have sex with you or even like you, they immediately want your attention and validation.

>>14342490
Fpbp.

Usually girls like stoic types anyways do to lack of wishy washyness.

You just said it yourself, Virtue is a set, hence when we speak of pursuing it, we refer to all the things which it contains. Your remark is as absurd as calling (for example) Buddhism "an empty set" because the school of thought is itself comprised of its doctrines.

>Some critics of the pessimist often think they have his back to the wall when they blithely jeer, “If that is how this fellow feels, he should either kill himself or be decried as a hypocrite.” That the pessimist should kill himself in order to live up to his ideas may be counterattacked as betraying such a crass intellect that it does not deserve a response. Yet it is not much of a chore to produce one. Simply because someone has reached the conclusion that the amount of suffering in this world is enough that anyone would be better off never having been born does not mean that by force of logic or sincerity he must kill himself. It only means he has concluded that the amount of suffering in this world is enough that anyone would be better off never having been born. Others may disagree on this point as it pleases them, but they must accept that if they believe themselves to have a stronger case than the pessimist, then they are mistaken. Naturally, there are pessimists who do kill themselves, but nothing obliges them to kill themselves or live with the mark of the hypocrite on their brow. Voluntary death might seem a thoroughly negative course of action, but it is not as simple as that. Every negation is adulterated or stealthily launched by an affirmative spirit. An unequivocal “no” cannot be uttered or acted upon. Lucifer’s last words in heaven may have been “Non serviam,” but none has served the Almighty so dutifully, since His sideshow in the clouds would never draw any customers if it were not for the main attraction of the devil’s hell on earth. Only catatonics and coma patients can persevere in a dignified withdrawal from life’s rattle and hum. Without a “yes” in our hearts, nothing would be done. And to be done with our existence en masse would be the most ambitious affirmation of all. (1/2)

>Most people think that vitality is betokened only by such phenomena as people in their eighties who hike mountain trails or nations that build empires. This way of thinking is simply naïve, but it keeps up our morale because we like to imagine we will be able to hike mountain trails when we are in our eighties or live as citizens of a nation that has built an empire. And so the denunciations of critics who say the pessimist should kill himself or be decried as a hypocrite make every kind of sense in a world of card-carrying or crypto optimists. Once this is understood, the pessimist can spare himself from suffering more than he need at the hands of “normal people,” a confederation of upstanding creatures who in concert keep the conspiracy going. This is not to say that such individuals do not suffer so much and in such a way that they sometimes kill themselves, possibly even more per capita than do pessimists, or that because they kill themselves they are hypocrites for ever having said that anyone is better off for having been born. It is only to say that when normal individuals kill themselves, even after having said that anyone is better off for having been born, they are disqualified as normal individuals, because normal individuals do not kill themselves but until their dying day think that being alive is all right and that happiness will stand out in the existence of life’s newcomers, who, it is always assumed, will be as normal as they are.

too long, didn't read but antinatalists really should kill themselves, not because their ideology implies it but because they are disgusting people who deserve it and we're better off without them

Virgin detected. Women want something more when they can't have it.

...unless they knew the guy would abandon his cherished beliefs as soon as some bimbo made a pass at him, which is probably true.

WWED what would Epictetus do? Probably fuck fat chicks when the bar's about to close, rather than making up some Penthouse Forum story the next day.
