The whole thing. Dating is a completely different ball game.
I had a friend who would get approached by women in public on a regular basis. In the mall, the supermarket, whatever.
I think most guys in California never get approached by women one time in their entire life. We gotta do the approaching.
This is just one example. Many other things are different as well. Relationships are different when the person you're with gets hit on constantly.
Finally reading mandibles because nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx won’t stop recommending it and this excerpt from the beginning really hit me:
“Mom?” Willing asked quietly in the doorway. “Isn’t it my turn for a shower?” Her thirteen-year-old had last bathed only five days ago, and knew full well they were all allotted one shower per week (they went through cases of comb-in dry shampoo). Willing complained, too, that standing under their ultra-conservation showerhead was like “going for a walk in the fog.” True, the fine spray made it tricky to get conditioner out, but then the answer wasn’t to use more water. It was to stop using conditioner. “Maybe not quite yet . . . but go ahead,” she relented. “Don’t forget to turn off the water while you’re soaping up.” “I get cold.” His delivery was flat. It wasn’t a complaint. It was a fact. “I’ve read that shivering is good for your metabolism,” Florence said. “Then my metabolism must be awesome,” Willing said dryly, turning heel. The mockery of her dated vernacular wasn’t fair. She’d learned ages ago to say malicious. “If you’re right, and this water thing will only get worse?” Esteban said, taking down plates for dinner. “Might as well open the taps full-on while we can.” “I do sometimes fantasize about long, hot showers,” Florence confessed. “Oh, yeah?” He encircled her waist from behind as she cored another cabbage wedge. “Deep inside this tight, bossy choirgirl is a hedonist trying to get out.” “God, I used to bask under a torrent, with the water hot as I could bear. When I was a teenager, the condensation got so bad once that I ruined the bathroom’s paint job.” “That’s the sexiest thing you’ve ever told me,” he whispered in her ear.
You can earn some sats by summarizing it for me:

Richard Heart. The Hex guy. He used to draw attention by posting pictures of himself loaded down with expensive handbags and clothing. He just recently got sued by the SEC.
Nobody too hot. Hot people don't understand what most people are dealing with.

She can write my constitution any time
I was into them back in the day. It's funny to me that they are still popular with all the youngsters.
Prepare for the epic shitcoin inanity of a bull market
I'm praying for a bull market so that nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle will finally be able to stock his dressing room with clothes. Maybe some nice sneakers, too!
Or get some of these
It went from zero to one very recently
What makes you think idiots will be the death of it?
Definitely high quality carne asada 👍
"I show that AI’s accuracy in censorship decreases with more pre-existing censorship and repression. The drop in AI’s performance is larger during times of crisis, when people reveal their true preferences. I further show that this problem cannot be easily fixed with more data. Ironically, however, the existence of the free world can help boost AI’s ability to censor."
