But your accusations just make me feel like you're full of shit. I DO have experiences with women (even a few psychotic women like your ex), and I used to think along the same lines as you are in this post, but it's the very fact that his advice often works that I give him credit where it's due.

Sure, his posts are misogynistic, but they're not bullshit. If you actually have experience with women (inb4 your psychotic ex was your only girlfriend), you can find out quickly whether or not what he's saying is true. Basically, power dynamics are the name of the game whether you like it or not. There are repeated themes in many failed relationships that he addresses and the answer, more often than not, lies in what is essentially keeping your pimp hand strong and being an assertive, dominant male.

About the only difference between men and women, realistically, is that one doesn't kill everything for its own sake and the other does.

Women like to talk, so have something interesting to say. If you find one that doesn't, find a way to still communicate. What I assume you are looking for is a relationship so the most important thing is to know who YOU are. The more you know, and most importantly, about yourself, the better off you'll be. You are your own tool, make civil your mind and savage your body. Women like comfort and conformity, but in truth they are just like us and want a challenge. Besides, what fun is a game if you coddle and comfort, instead of tease and entice? Always look forward, don't care of consequences, and for fucks sakes women aren't angels.

Sorta.

University is hard, leave me alone.

Anyway, its pretty easily observable in nature. If something doesn't express a quality then it can't be assumed that it can or want's to.

Of course many animals do express fetishes and interests in sexual behavior. But that doesn't come into play. Homosexual BEHAVIOR is very very common. Homosexuality is in fact very rare. Hence, its a significant divergence from regular sexuality. And easy to observe the chemical differences.

The existence of homosexual behavior or even homosexuality in animals doesn't mean that human beings experience it for the same or even similar reasons. One possibility for the existence of the homosexual subject could indeed be psychological.

It was Freud's contention that a homosexual subject arose as a result of the castration complex - incapable of finding a suitable fetish which would make women, defined by lack in Freudian psychology, bearable, the male subject forms erotic ties to the phallus itself, thereby producing homosexual urges or tendencies which are then solidified by sexual interaction and and the adoption of various mannerisms often connected to homosexuality by his respective community.

>you do know freud was pretty retarded on a lot of issues? Right?

Elegantly put.

>And that modern psychology disregards a majority of his hypotheses?

That's largely irrelevant unless you mean to use contemporary psychological scholarship (Freud IS modern psychology) to dispute his particular views on homosexuality.

With ignorance comes the desire for insanity. The more outlandish something seems against reason the more reasonable it seems. That's the curse of people who follow freud's methodologies and ideas.

And thus most modern psychoanalysis borrows heavily from both. Though obviously the more contentious and moronic parts have been refined or altered in such a manner as not to arouse suspicions of either.

I can be more specific, if you want. Check out Joyce's The Dead, the last chapter of Ulysses. Ibsen's plays have great female characters. Hedda Gabler is a good start.

Shakespeare has GOAT female characters. Comedies: As You Like It, Twelfth Night (dat latent lesbo crossdressing). Tragedies: Macbeth (tfw married), Antony and Cleopatra, Othello (cuckold, jealousy, role reversal)

Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is genius. War and Peace is just as good but 2x as long.

Lacan has said some edgy stuff about women. It's kinda interesting but hard to parse through and you can bet your ass someone has already said it and with more clarity. If you want Lacan on women, check out Zizek. Fuck, the shit he wrote for Abercrombie isn't a bad place to start. Google Zizek lacan sexuation, I think there's a pdf lying around.

Milton's Paradise Lost has some pretty wise things to say about the relation between men and women.

I'll throw in Anais Nin's diaries and her elegant erotica Venus of Delta...and I guess Virginia Woolf is worthwhile. But Nietzsche rightly said "one does not learn woman from woman."

I don't know how it's so hard to understand women. If we seem to contradict ourselves or act mysterious, it's mainly because we're trying to save face or honestly can't understand why we need to spell shit out for you.

I can't really figure out men. Men can be pretty fucking oblivious sometimes. A guy will yell at you about something, then two minutes later, wonder why you're mad at him and don't feel like cuddling. Plus, you guys are into some sick shit, which I will never understand.

Here's how I think about it. My family lived in Japan for three years and, as we came to discover, the Japanese never say what they mean. In fact, it's considered very rude to be too direct, which is why they would often butt heads with us Americans.

Women are like the Japanese. They are usually very indirect and nonconfrontational because they consider that more pleasant and polite. They are also very sensitive to other people's feelings and various subtle social cues that men often miss.

Men, on the other hand, are like Americans. They're blunt and to-the-point and expect other people to do so as well. They don't really read into other people's behavior and sometimes don't realize how their own behavior will effect other people. They believe that everything is operates more efficiently when people are direct, and get frustrated when people don't lay everything out on the table.

Women and men are equal OP, useless to try to understand them

Equal as equally intelligent, but more importantly equally retarded. You probably have noticed, the vast majority of people are stupid, and maybe you and me are.

The thing is the caracteristics and general interests that suggest stupidity in a given person differs with sex

Hints of stupidity in men are obsessive interest in football, soccer, video games, fighting, and penis-compensating devices like shiny big or fast cars or firearms and weapons,

Hints of stupidity in women include interest in movie stars, celebs magazines, shopping, unhealthy obsession with social media, gossip, "pecking order" of the group, and uterus-compensating devices such as fashion, shoes, makeup, you get the idea

Both female and male stupids hate anything that they don't understand/ that don't conform to social&gender stereotypes

It means if you just want to fuck stupid people, just give them what they want: fake conformity to your gender and exagerate your sexual value (lifting&money&car * makealotofapproachs // cleavage&makeup&gossip * selectionthecandidatewisely)

Edit - culture, with all the S&M, greed, accumulation of unnecessary shit, etc and then you observe how gay culture, as something split from society and along the same lines, with a distinct aspect of a sort of an elitist, superiorization thinking (not like in ancient Greece for example) came from them, that is no coincidence. I'm not saying homosexuality is bad, in fact I would consider myself bi, but I don't like this distinct "gay" culture.
