What no one mentions about the bear hypothesis

This actually provides we here in the Post-Industrial US immense cause for celebration. All of our lives(Regardless of gender)are so cushy, we have the luxury of devoting days and weeks to mulling over an extremely far fetched hypothetical, the likes of which no one who isn't living in rural Alaska will likely encounter

You ever talk with someone who was raped? Because it doesn't sound like you have.

I wouldn’t say this feels sinister. IMO, it lacks the context required, but that’s just my feeling on it. Minimalist maybe, feels kinda retro like it’s shot on film without a huge amount of grain. Looks good though.

HikingVet ,

Well, you got the dark and faded effect for sure.

Loosing Lizard Doggo

I have tried to tame a Lizard Doggo today the first time. I’m playing the game now since 3 days and searched for this animal since the beginning. I never found them when i was walking. Today i could build my first vehicle and was more far away from the HUB. I found such a Doggo and could tame him. But after driving some...

I’ve found that they stay in the area you find them. So if you build them a pen you are going to have to check up on them.

I have found you need a conveyor belt from a storage container to have the shredder work.

Biggest issue with the article. NO male voices, and it’s repeating the same lines I have heard since the mid 00’s.

Now I acknowledge that there hasn’t been much movement on the dating front, but men are only half the problem, as they are only half the population.

They would change in a hurry as a group if they needed to, but men aren’t a monolith and neither are women.

You want men to be better, be better yourself. The article is garbage by saying men need to step up while not talking to them about the issues they face in the dating world. ESPECIALLY if they aren’t Hetronormative.

Maybe we stop with top down one size fits all solutions to human interaction? The article is a good example of part of the problem, as it seems to exonerate one group while putting all the onus for change on the other. Mainly by it having essentially a single position from all them people that the author uses as sources and references and the narrow scope that they actually show.

HikingVet ,

if men aren’t meeting women’s standards, then women should either be content to be single, hook up with other women, or reexamine how important romantic relationships are for them.

I take issue with the part that is bold and italisied. Not sure what you are saying, but it seems like a gross misunderstanding how people work.

HikingVet ,

And there are women who still choose those men.

HikingVet ,

Well, maybe they are looking in the wrong place. Or they just have unobtainable standards.

The article treats it like a onesided issue, which when you are dealing with people, it’s not. There isn’t an easy way of dealing with this issue and the ‘men bad’ vibe this article gives off isn’t adding to the solution. It doesn’t offer solutions, suggestions or even a second viewpoint.

An article that wonders why people aren’t getting married says they went out and only asked one side what the problem was. 🤔

Doesn’t even seem balanced…

Edit: as a romance favourable aroace, the dating world was a nightmare, even if you do everything “right”. Which is why I no longer look to find companionship.

Do better or not, there are garbage people in all genders and the prevailing “men bad” when it comes to dating is just as toxic as what the men are doing.

The article also doesn’t suggest any possible solutions.

HikingVet ,

Well, considering dating takes at least 2 people (depending on how you live your life, and yes non-monagamy and polyamory are vaild), asking only one group is incredibly biased.

HikingVet ,

Self hate is a thing that exists.

HikingVet ,

Actually being aroace makes me anything but normal, but go on about my lived experience…

HikingVet ,

Please explain how this isn’t a bigoted point of view

Ms. Kearney, for example, acknowledges that improving men’s economic position, especially men without college degrees, is an important step toward making them more attractive partners.

Why not? Mushrooms are fun to photograph.
