Are these fucks not aware that forums are social media as well?

Mmmmm debatable. Bbs existed years and years before MySpace or Facebook and generally have never been considered social media especially since people argue social media has killed forums. Sure, you COULD define forums as social media. But logistically, forums have never really been considered it.

[agrajag]

All of the problems that people point out about social media are present and distilled into a concentrated form on forums. Confirmation bias, addictive bursts of dopamine from online validation, tribalism you name it.

Shit hit me at about 25ish. Along with nose hairs. Not nostril hairs, but hairs on the bulb of my nose.

The fact he uses Enzo from reboot pisses me off a lot. It's one of my favorite childhood series and I completely despise this putrid vision of the character through the mind of a deranged racist.

99.9% of those who have seen the movie so far say its one of the best, if not the best, Star Wars film to date. If this plot didn't work you'd see SOMEONE complain. No one has.

Most dudes need to stop dating younger.

It's a carry-over from women being married off to property holders to unite patriarchs. That's why the romanticization of dating younger is still tolerated and even endorsed by our society for men alone. Dudes, stop it. It's gross. Date your fucking age. I don't care how happy you think you are. You're grown up. You're just part of a sick fucking ancient cycle that dehumanizes women and caters to you and has for thousands of years. Don't give me the bullshit about how I'M the one being sexist because I'm not allowing a woman to make up her own mind. The woman is in the same society you are. You both are part of a system that pairs you together. And it's fucking gross. Stop it.

Dude is off his fucking rocker.

Black women age FAR better than their latina and white counter parts. But nothing stands up to the Asian immortality.

I can confirm this. My wife is asian. 40 years old, has the body of a 25 year old and the face of someone not more than 30. Although she recently started freaking out over getting crows feet by her eyes.

By contrast, I'm already going gray and I'm younger than her.

What race are the people saying that women age poorly talking about?

Some women age well. A large part depends on your genetics, but women tend to look after their skin more also.

Interestingly though men age better than women in general. The reason is because men and women have different skin types. Men have thicker skin and much more collagen in their skin. It is the loss of collagen that makes the skin lose its elasticity. Men however, tend not to look after their skin as much as women so it isn't always readily noticeable.

That said Monica Bellucci is a good example of a woman who aged well. She said once that she felt she was at her most attractive at around 38-39 years of age. She certainly wasn't unattractive at that age, that's for sure.

If you've seen the movie irreversible, she was 38-39 in that movie.
(Image removed from quote.)

Men generally don't age better than women, but what is attractive about men is different than women, so being older and grosser for a man can be almost entirely counteracted by things that generally only come with age (money, prestige, social standing, wisdom, security). Meanwhile, a woman's attractiveness is almost always based on her physical appearance, which is certainly a finite resource, as is the ability to produce off spring.

The system is rigged 

At least now older, even post menopausal women look better and are given more looks in general

No, men do age better than women. This is not simply an opinion, there is scientific evidence to back it up. Men's skin ages more slowly because of a greater collagen density.

There's more to aging well or poorly than collagen density. Men age like shit, too, even if they get less wrinkles.

[tiesto]

if the age gap is more than four years it's fucking gross

I'm 35 and my girlfriend will be 28 next month... I've found that most of the women my age either have extremely high standards and are at the age where they've come to terms with the fact they may end up a cat lady, or they've been divorced already, with kids, and other baggage I'm not interested in dealing with. Plus I'm a bit "youthful" (read: immature) for my age, while I'm a responsible adult with a career, mortgage, and a decently sized nest egg, I'll also go to edm festivals, game tournaments, and other events that you won't find too many 35+ people at.

Well yeah, there is also a genetic element to it. Of course there are a number of other factors as well. In terms of women for example, they are more likely to undergo various treatments to make themselves look younger. Women are more likely to have chemical peels for instance. That helps to make the skin look younger. They are more likely to wear sunscreen as another example.

I'm a "recovering anti-feminist" in that I spent several years in denial about things the patriarchy, male privilege, the wage gap, mansplaining, etc. I think I had a really strong defensive reaction because hearing those things made me extremely disgusted with my own maleness. I have a feeling that a lot of anti-feminists might be experiencing similar emotional responses, and I often wonder how that problem can be fixed. I've noticed that I didn't feel similarly about race, class, or disability. I was fully able to acknowledge that being white, being lower-middle class rather than lower class, and being born in a first-world country gave me advantages. But with gender I couldn't stay objective, and that's somewhat mysterious to me.

I still have the same disgust feelings, but I'm now self-aware about them, which makes it possible for me to set them aside and analyze gender-relations objectively. But it's still really hard to not get nauseated when I think about the fact that I have a male sexuality, male physical strength, and look like a man. It reached a point that I considered gender transition because of my guilt over maleness, though now I think that's not for me. I've also done serious research in how to either chemically castrate myself or to reduce my libido down to zero. Which I understand would be bad medically-speaking, but the idea of not having these urges anymore is very difficult to resist.

So I guess my question is, have other males experienced this level of shame and disgust after being exposed to feminism? And in particular, what aspects of feminist discussion set you off? I think for me the biggest "trigger" is discussions about "masculinity." I think in my mental image, I'm just an abstract being who happens to inhabit a particular physical avatar. But the word "masculinity" implies some kind of connection between me and that physical form, and that disturbs me.

And also of course, the recent sexual assault discussions have raised all of this to a new level. It's become increasingly hard to put any of this stuff out of my thoughts. I think a lot of the disgust is centered around feeling like an "ogre" or an animal due to my physical appearance and the role I would play in sex. And of course, logically I know that not all sex is rape, that if a woman consented I shouldn't feel guilty for being with her, etc. But knowing those things logically doesn't make the male role any more palatable.

Seriously considering chemical castration is so over the top that my initial thought was this is a troll post. It could be that he is simply mentally ill however.

He kind of sounds like someone who has done something so shocking that he is now so disgusted with himself that he thinks this will somehow absolve him from his sins.

In that case, I suggest instead of initiating himself into a cult he first get in touch with a therapist.
