Movie or TV babes at some point you had a crush on.

What? No, of course not. I mentioned him because he seems to be the only one on this board who is even close to being considered an artist. It was a compliment more than anything.

Photography is artistic (stratogustav).

Spirit Bomb can you draw Schwarzenegger?

stratogustav You should know what I mean. When you're young, not much is expected of you, but that gradually changes as you grow up. You get lumped with more responsibilities, particularly to yourself. However, in a nihilistic world, why choose self sacrifice over self indulgence, especially if you're not particularly religious? Why take responsibility when you can shift the blame? Why carry your cross when you can just leave it in the gutter? Because YOLO and it's all about you! 

To make it worse, many women idolise unworthy Hollywood celebs who can get away with shit we can't. They're also prone to divorcing at the drop of a hat. What do you think that says? And what do you think it says when women complain about a man drought when there's men everywhere?

We know the problem, but what is the solution?

Spirit Bomb I paint, but I have too many portraits sitting at home that I've stopped. They're hard to sell if you don't know the right people and galleries tend to be very exclusive. Hopefully, the two portraits I submitted to a competition won't be lost and I will have a chance to offload them.

The reason why is for self indulgence.

If you want to have good things you have to give good things, what you put out is what you get. This is not even religious, it is basically physics. Try to kick a wall, you will get kicked back just as hard.

If you don't make any sacrifices, if you don't take responsibility, if you don't carry your cross, doing the things you can start doing today for a better future, like working and going to schoold at the same time, for 4 years straight. Or investing all your money and time in a business instead of watching YouTube all day or buying a new car, for 10 years straight. Then you are basically cheating your future self from having the easiness, peace, comfort, and joys he could have had otherwise.

You do it for you, and you put yourself in a position where it's easier to help others including the ones you love. What you give is what you get.



Isn't this thread about that? That is just a natural thing and you should give zero fucks about that, just like women give zero fucks if we have a crush on Megan Fox or Mila Kunis.



That is not true, unless the guy means nothing for them, at which point that is the best outcome for both. Also it doesn't mean he didn't mean anything for her initially, but things change and there is always plenty of fish in the sea, and that goes for both sexes.

And again, I don't see why a guy wouldn't do the same in that situation. If you feel nothing for your woman, it is better to let her go, that way you don't waster her time or yours.



Well, they have a point. You can't take what they say at face value. Obviously what they mean is this:



There are 5 women in that picture, but for sex, many men would say there are only 4 at best. Well, that happens to women too, but even in more subtle ways.

Men, everywhere are feeling inferior to women. They put women on pedestals they don't have, and with privilages and advantages they also don't have. So they create this bizarre perspective of the world where women are unreachable, that women don't date regular normal guys, that they only day superstars and rich people.

This lack of confidence is basically what repels most women. Many men feel they need to constantly fight them, that they have to outsmart them in conversations, that they need to be very clever and witty, have great comebacks, and that if they don't do all of this, women will reject them.

That alone shows these men feel inferior because they are constantly trying to impress women. For women it is incredibly unattractive, women are wired to see those insecurities the same way we see Oprah next to Alessandra Ambrosio.

They basically fall off from their radar and they can't see these men. It is a very natural and normal thing.

Wait, do you mean me?

I'm just a guy, nothing less.

I think a lot of the clichés and stereotypes of men are definitely out of place.

Just because you have certain likes, endorse certain behaviours, and participate in activities that are not well received in society, it doesn't make you less of a person.

You would be surprised how many women get shamed for their careers. I work with a lot of nude women, and they tell me things about how their families stopped talking to them because they chose that path. That people would criticize them for the career they chose, specially having those kind of looks.

I always tell them that what people think or say is completely irrelevant and that anything they do is cool and fucking awesome because that's what they wanted to do, and that's all that matters.

We live in a reality of our own making and the lense we use to see the world determines the level of coolness of what we do, and it doesn't matter what that is, it can literally be anything, as long as you think it's awesome, it's awesome, and that includes yourself.
