The sharing of clips like this speaks to a real sadness. Pornography at least takes a certain pride in its crude vulgarity and working on a strong and healthy desire. We can laugh at pornography.
But this? A brief smile and simulation of attention? That this is recognized as the commodity it is online? That a clip like this goes from mundane home video to something passed around the underbelly of the internet?
It's all so fucking sad bros. Because I feel it too. Because I've looped it about 30 times now. Because I'm so fucking alone.

Not sure I've only finished Swann's Way but yeah he is all about Berma and ranking actresses, it segues into catching his uncle with a "kept lady" who he's fascinated by.
Proust was a sickly kid but I have a hunch that he caught something nasty right around when he was obsessed with her. I thought myself into illness as a kid too, read some compilation of scary stories and this story about a monster pulling kids into his under-the-bed dimension and holding them there for years, eventually using them (after they've grown into emaciated middle aged men with long wispy hair and uncut filthy nails) to reach up from under beds and drag new kids under the bed.

As opposed to what? An "authentic" smile where emotion is so overpowering she can't HELP but smile, not even realizing she is doing it? Body language is language like any other. Performing a smile takes energy, and communicates a social message. One does not do it without accepting the consequences of doing so. It's no more fake than saying "Hello" is a fake greeting because it's premeditated.

gender relations are an ouroboros of retarded behavior. men simp out, women attempt to exploit that, and in response men simp out and women attempt to exploit that and in response men si—both parties are fucking dumb here but exploiting the stifled, groveling, pathetic state of male sexuality is an extreme low. simp behavior should not be dignified with a response. there will always be simps but if you do no-effort shit like selling socks and piss just because you’re a woman (and most women have this option open to them) you’re as weak and possibly more pathetic than your orbiters. there’s nothing empowering about being dependent on boners for your next meal. this option is so easy, though, that tons of young women are taking it. i’m not sure of the fraction of regular women with onlyfans/premium snapchats/twitter whore accounts is, but i guarantee it’s higher than you think and probably disgust-inspiring. women could be so much more than this but no, we live in a whore/boner economy and everyone is a fucking brainwashed sex-addicted troglodyte.

The men are pathetic and broken, the women are parasites. Codreanu once said "if I had one bullet and saw an enemy and a traitor, I would kill the traitor."

Weak and broken people can be built back up, or at least sequestered. Parasites are actively destructive and evil. Weakness is lethargy in the body, parasites are foreign to the body. If you have one choice, shoot the parasites. Often you'll be surprised how quickly the body parts they were preying on recover.

>how many women have you seen acting like this
This is the most visible manifestation of a behavior that has become systemic. In one form or another, with or without realizing it, this is the normative goal of most young western women now, to be whores. The entelechy of the spoiled, irresponsible, radically individual parasite, who reflexively assumes that society simply "exists" as a container full of individuals and that everyone is free to press whatever advantages they might accidentally have (like being born with a cunt), and that success and happiness are not based on merit but on exploiting such advantages, is the whore-parasite. Not all modern western women have the same opportunities to become the ultimate whore-parasite, but they're all striving toward it in one way or another, except rare few exceptions.

I'd love for the rare few exceptions to reverse the trend but I'm not an optimist.

some of the guys here ridicule you but i can't. because i know what you wrote, even if it sounds pathetic, is your genuine emotions. emotions i also and many men (possibly women but i cant talk about them) have but try to hide away in our mundane loveless day to day lives. i hope you make it king.
