Bros I am begging you. Feel free to laugh at me, but I am BEGGING you. Please in God's name, never write poetry for a woman who isn't your wife and hasn't given you several children. After you give her those most precious bounties of your soul you are completely and utterly at her mercy. If in a normal relationship she cheats on you, you can just shrug her off as some slut. But when you give her those words that to you mean so much, believe me, to her they are nothing but jewels to hang around her neck as a trophy that reminds her of the man she has conquered. If after that, she looks into your eyes, and tells you she loves you, and then goes and does anyway what unthinkable imperative woman has; you will detest yourself with a loathing deeper than any abyss you can fathom. Those Words you gave her will become your Demons. I don't even regret losing her that much, it's not so much about her. It's those words that play in my head over and over. Those words that she took with all of my sincerest trust with a smile on her face telling me how much they mean to her. Those deepest most painstaking extractions of yourself will become knives turned against you. Please anon, don't do it. Just write a silly jig about her ass instead, she won't appreciate the difference anyway.

I've personally found it completely consistent that women consider poetry cringe. Whenever I am courting a woman and I at some point end up talking poetry they are revulsed. It is widely seen as a very cringy, awkward, cumbersome and lecherous attempt of the man to don a romantic persona - that's what's tiresome about women in their twenties, everything is a persona in their lives, and everything everyone else does is interpreted to be - and in many cases, they are probably right to do so, as fuckboys and simps go to extreme lengths to fashion themselves personas that they believe a woman would like. Sometimes a bit of earnestness, like my love of poetry, becomes collateral damage on that battlefield of lies and deception. But I'm not stupid, so I can see if something fails again and again, I should stop doing it.
So as for you OP, completely agreed, don't do poetry until you've had a child with her. Ideally, don't do poetry until your 25th anniversary.

When I was a teenager I hanged out and had long talks with this lovely girl who was a balleriana. We really seemed to have a synergy, she loved talking with me at least. I fell in love with her and one day I poured my heart out to her, telling her I loved her, and she cried in my arms. We hugged for a long time. Then she stopped seeing me. Later she got with a dude whose name was like, Archibald and looked like the meme guy with the no chin profile.. I think Archibald was really rich. One day I saw her father's car and it was a Ferrari. I was like, ooh, right. We were like 15 or something. I think she was the first girl I fell for. Second one was worse. Third one was worse. I think each was worse than the one that came before. I wish I had met someone who really loved me as much as I loved her. I just wanted a girl I could love with all my heart but now it's all burned out on nothing. I've run out of fuel in the middle of a desert.

The “age of individualism” is just a marketing gimmick. The sad truth is that everyone is and always has been powerless to the whims of fate and to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. I agree that we’ve never been more atomized but that’s partly by design: it benefits the state, but it’s by no means a foregone conclusion that we need to succumb to it. You can find people of like mind and there are people who can and do care about you. You have the power to change your own life for the better, as much as anyone has or ever has.

Getting a bit off topic now but I heavily disagree. Of course as a general philosophy this is and always will be true; but if you were a high IQ physically fit male in the Middle Ages for example, or really any time before the Industrial Revolution, like some of us are now, you could rightly expect to become a very important and valued member of your community and receive ample reward based on merit, regardless of class. And I say regardless of class because as a serf sure you couldn't expect to become a king or a baron but you could become a very valued member of your class and that would be a more worthwhile and rewarding endeavour than almost any today. After the Industrial Revolution, technology quickly made the working classes, particularly the males, obsolete, or at any rate made their labour worth far less. What we see now with the information/computer revolution is just that same concept reaching the higher classes, i.e. from those whose primary means of production was their body to those whose was the mind. Also I'm not a Marxist but technology "creating jobs" is almost always code for a shift in self-sufficiency and ownership of the means of production from a lower social class to a higher social class (the owners of the technology). To a transhumanist this is all wonderful news, but to anyone of a saner disposition, well you know what I'm talking about.
I do agree with your general notion that we have power over lives, and I thank you for the encouragement, and maybe I'm just playing devil's advocate, but it seems a little disingenuous to put all the emphasis on the individual.

You know I love you, like the sun
But after this, I gotta run
You're gonna burn me when I'm done done
Cause you can't have my type of fun

So honey please, honey please
So honey please, honey please
So honey please, honey please
I gotta say it: you smell like moldy cheese
And you keep trying to take my money

It's so cute how you're agitated
Keeps me sedated, seeing you frustrated
It's so cute how you're agitated
Keeps me sedated, seeing you frustrated
For as long as we have dated
You look so animated when you're aggravated
It's so cute how you're agitated
Love you for all you hated

## Verse: unwomenly habits
Come by over, with a mop
Cleaning up the slop, all the socks you dropped
The girl police have called
They said the skirt doesn't fit you at all

Your cooking is great to dine
Making even the onions cry
The girl police have called
They said the skirt doesn't fit you at all

You get so tired
Trying to work the dryer
Honey see, this is the frier
You put the egg on the pan, over the fire


The girl police have called
They said that skirt doesn't fit you at all
They're mad you had the gall
To call yourself a woman, despite how you fall

The sun lightens,
and illuminates an angel
We dated and touched, my skin frightens
Then, that feeling that's too common
The angel who loved me, has fallen

A midget in clown's makeup who consistently boozed-up,
fatty with no honor or father
a brain with no mind
and a belief that gender isn't assigned

The heart mirrors the sun,
shading it to be my type of fun
She always says "this cannot be done"
and pretends to shun

Cutting cancer from the heart,
I can breath better
Later on, she called a vet: child-killer.
I'm blessed to escape the false sun's love
And renewed my faith in God above

lol where are they? All I see are disgusting manipulative people, that if you discipline are workaholics with Stockholm syndrome.
I know three people so far who have girlfriends manipulated and called them rapists, two of them were simps and one of them was (I shit you not ) was in a fucking cast. My uncle had his leg FUCKING BROKEN, and that was the only reason that the court said not guilty to him raping them.
Of the two left, I noticed a pattern of them not being dominating the girl. They were too nice, too kind, and not assertive enough. They didn't made them bend or annoy them. And the girls went, pushed their limits, and destroyed them
The rest of women I know (as in, really know) in relationships are simps. My mother cooks and cleans, is exhausted all the time. Then, my father asks her to make coffee: I know how to make coffee, it's piss easy. She hates making coffee. Yet she still does it. Grandma got so much shit from her sons, and had the AUDACITY to call my mom out for "betraying her brothers", because my mom said her brothers gotta help the mom out. Let me remind you that my mom did most of the cooking and cleaning, and had a kid at 16.

This makes me rethink my definition of a human. I just do not see the same thinking processes in me and you as I do them, where they flip flop between hurting themselves and protecting rapists, or calling their "bf" who didn't even had sex with them rapists.

They're a group I don't understand. Even if I DO find one like that, whose caring and loving, chances are she's gonna over work herself to death for no fucking reason. Or she's gonna cave in to the sons because "oh, I love you". Shit like that
