This is why my other half is actively seeking out new friends.

She sees that old group reinforcing the same behaviours which have led to them being single - like crabs in a bucket, as soon as one of them has some introspection and tries to deviate they all pile on with guilt trips and shaming to reinforce the group behaviour and pull the individual back into their line, it’s toxic AF.

She also tells me it wasn’t always this bad and that they’re getting worse as they get older, more aggressive about the reinforcement.

My missus has been branching out finding new friends but spent the afternoon with 3 of her old friend group.

Two 7s and an 8 - all very eligible girls.

All 3 of them single.

One of the 7s recently so - she’d been dating a fella for 2-3 months and he found out she was still on Tinder so he split. Her excuse was that they weren’t committed/engaged so he shouldn’t have had a problem - the other 2 girls agreed.

All 3 of them have ridiculously high expectations of what they want in a man. Basically nothing less than a multimillionaire rich guy with a sweet car and a six pack who will take her on regular holidays on a yacht.

These girls are broken. There are 9s and 10s coming up behind them who might actually snag this level of man, the handful of them that exist; these 7s and 8s who aren’t spring chickens any more are simply living a fantasy.

They only talk about what they want and have very little concept of what they can offer in a relationship.

I know there are plenty of broken fellas, expecting girls to behave like pornstars and put up with their adolescent behaviour - this is not some one-sided problem.

But this problem is unhealthy for all of us. Society’s stability is based on people pairing up, having children, and trying to produce value so they can create a better world for their offspring.

The whole thing breaks down when the pairing stops. I think a lot of the social issues we see around us are downstream of this point. It explains why statism is at all time highs. Why people buy in to existential crises like climate cultism or Covid. And why populism has returned.

The older I get the better I understand why religion has been so important to humanity; that institution is what anchored this part of the social order in every society for centuries and it’s absence is now acutely felt.

I hope those girls find a man, a suitable partner, and that we all benefit from them contributing to the extended order but man I really think this generation is going to have a big miss.

Yes.

Having degens in the society is sometimes beneficial because it allows for redistribution of wealth from those who are lucky but don’t deserve it to those who perform work and deserve it.

While yes our leaders are insane do you think the source is credible? Or is it something to keep the masses in a state of fear?

Is this happening anywhere now?

It’s weird there’s a BS and AS.

I much preferred the BS, before Saylor. It’s as if Bitcoin didn’t exist before him. It did. It was more fun. Corporate Bitcoin sucks a fat one imo

I find it weird that newspapers characterize students as being “pro-Palestinian” as opposed to anti whatever you call this.

4 years ago I almost only ate cookies, drank coke and didn’t workout

Not one family member or friend said anything about it

Today I eat pure animal based food, zero industrial garbage and workout every day

Almost every family member or friend had its ‘worries’ about my diet and lifestyle or said I was too obsessed

Fucked up society

i am a sucker for babies.

when i see them i make funny faces until they smile. doesnt matter the place or my mood. and i have l~90% effectiveness

its as much for my happiness as theirs. most of the time their parents love it but sometimes i get weird looks.

the ones that give me weird looks re usualy in a bad mood.

But if we fill them in ourselves, the government will fine us.

interesting. i have observed the opposite where people think life post covid how its always been.

maybe an exception is they conflate how good it used to be before covid with the actions of the psychopaths today.
