>"Oh my God, look at that FACE!"

Why did she say face instead of personality or intelligence or personal philosophy? What can we infer from this lyric?

The better you look

Whatever happened to Lorde?

Does anyone feel bad for cute girls?

It's like trying to make friends and be a human being, while you have a mystical aura that makes anyone who associates with you 200% richer. Everyone's gonna want to be """"friends"""" with you and praise everything you do, all the time. It's impossible to discern genuine appreciation from disingenuous, if genuine appreciation is even possible. Even people who THINK they are genuinely appreciative of you will be unconsciously lying to themselves, because who doesn't want to be near the magic money aura person?

They will never have a genuine interaction with people or with the world. Every single thing they do is ensconced in a forcefield of penises that erode the challenges and vacuums that are necessary for finding authenticity. You need to be thrown in a wilderness with nothing but your own existence, so that you are encouraged to find essence. But women are just surrounded by a hypersphere of cock that fills everything with phony praise, phony affirmation, constantly patronising them.

When I see girls on Instagram taking thousands of pictures of every inane thing they do, I just try to think: What level of mental sickness would it take to make a man do the same thing? Like, THAT level of self-importance, that level of intuitive assumption that the ephemera of your daily life as a nobody girl are important and worth sharing. The last time humanity created a male that self-important it was because he thought he was god-king of Egypt.

neither will anyone else tho

the closest you'll get is anonymity on the internet but even you're unwillingly confined and led by your demographic

authentic human interaction is an oxymoron

That's a good summary. What I find more interesting is how the opposite is the case for most men, essentially a just-world fallacy.

The reality of modern dating can't be the way that it is, because if it did, that means manipulative assholes who think women are inferior are getting laid. And any self-professed nice guy who complains about having woman problems must not really be nice and must actually be a manipulative and entitled ass. Because if he were actually nice, it means that genuinely nice guys aren't getting laid.

So we see this veil of arguments: PUA doesn't work -- it's all made up lies and stories by losers on the internet. In the few cases it does work, those women are damaged, but it doesn't work on real, normal women. And in the few cases it does, it's all through lies and deception and manipulation and trickery. And in any other cases, it's all through rape.

And any time any guy complains that he had woman problems when he tried things the normal, conventional, friendly, nice guy way, it's because he's unwashed and hideous and unrealistically expects to succeed without taking the time to look good and learn basic social skills. But if he's not like that, then it's because he's only approaching super-models instead of realistic average women. But if it's not that, then it's because he's actually desperate and sending out invisible desperation signals and turning women off. But if it's not that, it's because he's actually an entitled misogynist and is sending out invisible entitlement signals and turning women off. But if it's not that, he's probably raping people.

Do you ever feel like this whole thing is just a natural result of any culture that is deferential toward women because of their sexual power?

Women are just fundamentally irrational, permanent children. They are reflexively capable of this kind of doublethink, of wanting to be worshiped for existing but also wanting respect for being ambitious, of making completely contradictory statements about their preferences for male behaviour that all boil down to "any man I don't want to fuck is doing SOMETHING wrong."

Their consciousness is constitutively fucking irrational. That kind of ability to live in permanent equivocation and to see truth as arising out of whatever is expedient in a given moment, but still being eternal "for that moment," is incompatible with civilisation.

Reminds me of that Paglia quote that Greek civilisation was great insofar as it was misogynistic. The more women are excluded, the more masculine the society is, the more rational it is, the more of a "civilisation" it is.

>>7404693

It really is sad.

Being challenged is the best part of life. Having everything handed to you with no obstacles or incentive to improve yourself or the world around you is, in a very real sense, your own personal Hell. In a lot of ways, ugly guys have it a lot better than pretty girls; they get to actually live life the way it was meant to be lived: Difficult, intimidating and lonely.

Every philosopher or artist worth his salt has found something beautiful and intoxicating about irrationality and primordial emotional chaos.

Maybe what you're missing is that genuine interaction is always about the love of sex and power, and that these "inauthentic" experiences are actually the idealized human experiences.

Replace irrationality in your assertion with the word women and your statement would be just as acceptable.

I think its a cyclical thing. Basic bitches breed more basic bitches that don't contribute anything meaningful to life, and instead are absorbed in their own bullshit.
I don't think this applies to all women, just the majority.

...it is entirely plausible that experiences imprint certain secondary tendancies within us. A prime example of this is music, music evokes emotions, colours, textures, perhaps even memories of people, places and events. The point I wish to make here is that we carry a lot of unconscious pattern recognition software with us that help us "see" what others may be able to see...

So how do we reconcile this just world hypothesis with our desires?

I am caught in a wheel built by advertisers and movies teaching me to seek experience and act according to a role that does not fulfil me and leaves me feeling as empty as before. All experience falls under this. Eating in a restaurant. Sleeping with a woman. Nothing is as frustrating but rewarding as the chase. Nothing is as empty as the act.

[Spoiler]please help [/spoiler]

The "inside" doesn't matter. Even after you admitted your feelings, there is no catharsis; no end to your punishment, and you've gained no deeper knowledge of yourself. Your confession has meant nothing.

Reflection is useless, the world is senseless. Evil is its only permanence. God is not alive. Love cannot be trusted. Surface, surface, surface was all that anyone found meaning in... this is civilization as I see it.
