Just saw a wedding photo and was reminded of the fact that my husband was better looking than I am. Look dazed, in the wedding pics, because it's like, OMG he's really marrying me.

All of the really smart women I know are married to unusually handsome men. I wonder if that's a thing.

Like, you wouldn't think that's a thing, since men generally prefer their women dumber and better-looking, than they are. So, maybe I just know a lot of odd women, which could be, as I am rather odd.

Love isn’t a formula. Maybe those “unusually handsome” men are just the ones who appreciate the kind of intelligence and oddness that society often overlooks.

My theory is that they're easily bored. Like, prettier women aren't exciting to them, merely because they're prettier. Prettier women don't strike them as particularly rare.

💯

Women are the limiting sex so they almost always get a man better looking than they are.

Typically only very high value men can successfully marry/breed up.

That's a relief. The other way around would suck.

i had some dude mistake me for a girl the other day, walking past my little cottage on the tourist track down to the big walk on the side of the mountain.

it's been a while since i had someone mistake me for a girl. i am not really that girly. but i am pretty. and i hope you also have my level of anti-age genetics because i'm pretty sure when i shed this extra 10kg or so that i currently have i will look like 35 again. especially when i also get this damn diet in order.

i will only say one thing: beef tallow.

but that wasn't my secret, the secret was genetics. indonesian, so i guess "lemurian". i guess yours are atlantean.

I don't know, precisely. Nobody, on either side of my family, ever really ages.

I'm probably aging the worst, TBH. Freckling and wrinkling up and getting fat from working too many hours.

I'd look 10 years younger, if I lost the weight, tho.

My Mom is Bohemian and has fewer wrinkles than I do. It's nuts.

that reminded me, i had this random thought about bohemia crystal, which is a type of lead infused glass. i was thinking "hey, this probably blocks a lot of high energy particles and x/gamma/cosmic rays"

i'm wondering how to make this kind of glass. i think i know how to do the kiln stuff and it's just a matter of mixing up raw materials, so, i guess i get some lead and some regular sodium silicate and then cook them up for a few days in a kiln.

idk, weird obsession of mine but i want to build a geodesic dome that has a carbon and tin based radiation shield but still has passive light, without that light holes being wide open for high energy particles.

your fault for reminding me because bohemia glass is one of those kinds of glass which these days everyone knows as the brand svarovski.

it seems it's not just for the high density glasses that bohemia is famous, but glassworking in general. i love glassworking. i could definitely do more of it. it's very satisfying.

yeah. from my recent experience with this, 72 hour fasts are a good trigger to get the clock to dial back. another one is cutting out most kinds of carbs.

i personally have huge problems with most plant proteins, but milk has too much sugar in it. the benefit of it tho, is it doesn't feed so much bad bacteria, and it seems to function as fibre which is a huge benefit for my jumpy intestines.

i'm pretty sure part of the "not aging fast" thing also has to do with this thing in your spirit somehow, idk what to explain it as. i still don't really feel like i really have been walking this planet 49 years. i can't believe it, to be honest, but then i go "hmm, yes, this is consistent with the data".

that feeling of being a child still, radiates youth, by itself.

Yeah, we never grew up.

Pretty sure getting fat from working isn’t a thing. 😳

You just have to not-eat, while you're working. Then you stay thin.

Of course, then you can't think straight, but no system is perfect.

😄 I work while I eat.

yeah, the problem i get is when to schedule it

i've done a 72h once now, and my health dramatically improved after it.

really i think i just need to schedule it. "ok, this friday i don't work, and don't eat until monday morning"... and done.

Hot tip. Cutting out carbs and replacing with fatty red meat is the weight loss and anti-aging cheat code.

Also, not working two full-time jobs as a software engineer would help, and occasionally getting more than 4 hours of sleep and going for a long walk daily.

But I'm not ready to hear that, yet.

Just one more merge, bro. This merge will fix all the bugs, bro.

... and the revolution will start, bro :)

Ignoring your health has compounding effects that sometimes cannot be undone.

We all have choices. Choose wisely.

Yeah, just one more merge.

ministry - just one fix

i never saw that video before but obviously i listened to the song a million times when i was like 15-16 years old. i didn't know that there was a sample from wsb in it, or that the video featured him, obviously, filming segments for this video.

that would also explain why there is so much homoerotic references in it as well as the injection/heroin references.

never been an opiate addict, but shot meth. anyway. haha, just sharing my reaction to that music video.

As a man with principles and high standards; can confirm. It sucks.

I’ve seen women marrying uglier men. Lots of them.

It’s rare. Women as the limiting sex creates probabilistic biological outcomes.

This is all highly subjective, so don’t mind if I just shit post the hell out of it.

Women marry wealthy men.

You can find “studies” that say anything. Literally 99.9% are just made up nonsense.

The limiting sex outcomes are well-understood biological realities and not based on fake internet psychology “studies”.

Probably depends upon how old they are, when they marry. I married rather young, and the options get thinner every year.

I've only ever dated guys who outclassed me by a mile. Idiosyncrasy of high-IQ dating, methinks, but always unnerving.

9 guys with an IQ > 150 competing for the only chick with an IQ > 130, as women much dumber than that might as well be blow-up dolls, to them.

I know that men like to say that they like smart women, and they like to think that they like smart women, but you have to control for demographics.

secure men adore smart women

What I mean, is that they like women they consider smarter than most other women they know (smart women, as opposed to dumb ones), but most men actually don't know any very-smart women, as we're like unicorns 🦄, so they aren't referring to us, when they say "smart"

/I must be suicidal to say/

I read this as "my husband WAS prettier than me, I was and still am smarter than him"

Nah, he's more intelligent than I am. And richer and more highly-educated and more athletic and more well-liked and more charming and more professionally successful, and...

I married up in every category. Across the board.

I think I'm slightly prettier than him, now, because I don't wrinkle. I just had to wait until the Wrinkly Phase, to catch up, since he's significantly older.

It's been over 2 decades and I still don't bore him, so there's that. Lots of people get boring real quick.

Smart women are so hot, so are confident ones

Dumb hot women are boring easier, low confident are frustrating

I have low confidence, but I am too autistic to let it hold me back. Like, I expect the reaction to be bad, but I can't help but share, anyway, because I have social kills, instead of skills.

Disagreeability maxxing. 💪🏻

All I know is, the intellectual compatibility has to be there.

Also, if you have money, you want someone shrewd, who will conserve it and grow it, not someone who will spend it on shopping and partying.

Like, I spent my allowance buying gold and Bitcoin, and he thought I was being a dork, but now he's like, that was actually not totally dumb. 🤔

Maybe… the question outstanding is he smart?

Yeah, he's measurably smarter than me, and has the Master's degree in electrical engineering and the salary to prove it.

That’s what he wants you to think. 😳

Most men like women who are kind and respect them. If you can make a man feel good about himself you are automatically hot. If you’ll also make him a good sandwich, his eyes will never wander. We’re simple creatures🚁😁
