  yes you can’t get dates because seemingly the entire universe is against you or too basic for you.

Is that a weird ‘femcel’ gimmick thread?

[benjipwns]

Quality of dates. I don't need to be taken out for a $999 Dinner spree on the first date, but really guys? I hate coffee, I hate tea. And if you're taking me out for Bubble tea then why are you sweating me over the like, 4-7$ mine costs? If you're that broke maybe you shouldn't be dating.

Don't fight me on this. I tend to go out with guys who are 2-3 years older than me (which i hate, I'll get to that later), and to a certain extent no matter what relationships will never actually be 50/50 for women. The world isn't 50/50 for women once you factor things in like the Wage Gap, the Second Shift, etc etc. So me expecting to be catered to a little bit shouldn't be out of the question. If i have to pay for my own bubble tea, I could do that alone.

Age of men. I don't feel comfortable going out with guys too much older than me, to be perfectly honest. I'm really paranoid of being taken advantage of emotionally/mentally/sexually, so I try to stick to my age range and maybe 1-2 years older than me (never younger, because at my age that'd be like dating a teenager, no thanks). So it's not flattering at all when some guy who's 26 wants to hit me up. No shade to anyone who does this, but I'm always going to wonder why you're trying to get with me, someone who's inexperienced and just starting out, instead of trying to get with someone who's closer to your age.

Attraction in general/Basicness of men. Don't try to drag me in the comments, but it really feels like most men are the goddamn same. Shirtless pics (which aren't interesting to me because I do Brazlian Jiu Jitsu, meaning that I see shirtless men all the time.). The Office references. "I LISTEN TO DRAAAKKKEEE" (Side-point: I fucking hate Drake). I like to travel. I like video games (Don't put this in your profile unless you're into niche games; everybody plays CoD so it's not very interesting that you do too bub). I like netflix. I like anime. Do men realize how basic this makes you sound? I'm sure there's probably a version of this for women too, but it's annoying as hell nonetheless. Also, ugh I hate to say it but a lot of guys I'm just not physically attracted to.

I was working on a musical about online dating a couple of years ago and to be honest I abandoned the project because the real online dating experience is just too gross and unpleasant to make into a dumb fun show about doofuses singing and dancing.

Didn't you hear?  Some dev removed dated gay jokes from their game, all games will be censored from now on because of it.

I don’t like censorship done to appease people that deep down don’t care at all about that stuff. I agree is not a big deal overall, but I feel people that genuinely wants to play the game couldn’t give two shits about those jokes (and, if anything, they are more concerned about the removal of juvenile jokes).

Since you’re a self described nerd OP, you might want to check out the ”Stable Marriage Problem” which is a mathematical exercise of matching men and women into stable pairs. It is not a scientifical or a social study, its a mathematical problem that provides an interesting angle on why being the active searcher/initiative taker is more optimal, in the extreme confines of mathematical pair matching theory.

I can believe it OP. Online dating in Toronto is terrible. I'm a 35/yo indian male and it's brutal in the online dating world for me.

For those @‘ing me. Been championing “ free Palestine” for a loooooong time to such an extent that this makes me feel like an idiot for acting like and talking to people as though their entire culture is without blemishes such as this. Being LGBT myself this hurts, it doesn’t mean I don’t feel the same but it’s a letdown to see (to put it lightly ). Not hard to understand.

Is this from the "Will the US get better when whites become a minority?" thread 

[benjipwns]

Liberals in America criticizing their language is definitely going to help LGBT Palestinians so keep up the good fight buddy

I will continue to fight for LGBT rights worldwide! Thanks!

With friends like these....

As an LGBT person it saddens me to see someone actively ignoring LGBT voices

What? Why would the PA let them say anything at all?

They commented likely because they are tired of people like you and others using this as a cheap opportunity to shit on Palestinians without ever hearing from those affected

As a gay black man in America it reminds me of how racists used Prop 8 to justify their racism by blaming homophobia on the black community without even thinking of LGBTQ people of color

what am i reading

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I mean, if you don't see the world in terms of Us and (versus) Them, its pretty easy to reconcile Palestinians as being the victims of a modern apartheid while also simultaneously having a large portion holding 'problematic' views.

If you can't hold that worldview that people are people, well, cognitive dissonance the thread, every fucking thread.

To be honest, she sounds kind of annoying.

I kind of dislike nerds who need to make obnoxious references like this:

by Odin, by Amaterasu, by Anansi, by the powers of Greyskull, I hate online dating.

I don't know, it's kind of lame to me. I get it, you like "nerd" things. Which btw who cares really. You don't need to let me know you like nerd things. Nerd is'nt an identity.

And yeah don't put "not looking for hook ups" in your profile. I understand, you're not a piece of meat and you want to meet guys who don't treat you like that. But all that advertises is that you're no fun and too a lot of dudes(even decent dudes who still like the idea of sex) you've made it seem like "well getting sex from me is a gonna be hard and no fun". You just come off as prudish no matter what. And even decent fun guys are still probably going to be into having sex.

Also the gif use already hints at probably heavy gif and meme use in texts which I personally find boring and also "samey"

And cutting yourself off from older is stupid. Older dudes are probably not going to be the fuckbois you're trying to avoid.

Also just like other men and myself had to realize. Online dating is just a supplement. No use getting mad at it. Just roll with it. I mean I admit as a dark skinned lady she'll probably have more problems. But it's whatever, putting a lot of energy and emphasis into it is'nt going to really help you. Just treat it as a dumb thing and move on.

These are all fair points and I'm glad you brought them up. Conservatism isn't limited to white Americans and other groups have their own issues that they're being, in terms of progress, on. I think the key difference is what different groups view as their key issue or litmus tests. Essentially the driving force behind single issue voters.

Take Black Americans for instance with regards to acceptance of same sex marriage. Whereas it took them longest to have >50% acceptance of same-sex marriage, it doesn't appear to be a key issue in terms of what party/candidate they vote for given the overwhelming percentage who vote Democrat regardless even when the candidate/party is entirely in favor of it.

Oh, so the actual problem is that white people don't vote for the Democratic Party enough. Why didn't you just say so?

The assumption here is that things will change if/when they become a minority. The way things are going, the cult is going to dismantle democracy.

Actually it's a bit late to say "going to". Look at what they've been doing in states like North Carolina and Georgia. It turns out that they were for democracy only as far as it gave them ethical standing to implement their fascist agenda (if you're a minority, America was always fascist). Forced to choose between the two, they decided to ditch the ethical theatrics and implement their agenda anyway. They didn't even hesitate.

The endgame for the cult is to establish a ruling minority through totalitarianism. So even if they drop to 45,% 40%, 35% of the country, they can maintain power as long as everyone else is oppressed. What sort of change are you expecting when they drop to 49%?

lol wat

It's been clear for a very long time that this is the GOP endgame but I'm no longer certain it will be successful. They've just about completed their test run for fascism and authoritarianism and based on the recent polling it might actually lose them the plurality of the white vote for the first time in multiple generations, and with a relatively good economy. That would be both unprecedented and disastrous for the GOP's long term goals to have their plans derail this quickly.

well good thing the "test run" for authoritarianism and fascism will make that polling irrelevant

White people will always be the majority, by definition.

The concept of what a white person is evolves and changes over time.

I feel like saying "white people ended slavery" basically ignores the reality of continued rampant systemic racism that minorities deal with on an hourly basis in this country.

Like yeah it's no longer legal to OWN PEOPLE, but rich whites definitely found myriad other more subtle and nefarious ways to keep minorities under their boot and basically keep the same hierarchy in place.

Yeah I’m really appalled that posters are trying to get away with “white people ended slavery and gave equal rights to everyone” but I know if I say much of anything in this thread I’ll probably be banned.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/beto-orourke-just-gave-one-of-his-best-speeches-ever-on-racism-guns-and-more.135666/

Beto has been seeing a huge resurgence in the last few days after having a personal connection to the El Paso shooting and telling the media to basically stop asking stupid questions they know the answer to.

Because he doesn't practice for debates like a typical candidate and they don't give him time to flesh out his answers.

Beto excells in ways that dont necessarily correlate with the typical debate structure we are used to being subjected to.

I think he's an essential VP pick not only because of his competency in campaigning, but how it could impact voter turnout in Texas. The nation may not be feeling Beto, but his home state sure is

This is how eloquently I wish Bernie and others could speak on the issues of race and this country's sordid history relating to it as well as the current climate where White Supremacy is flourishing and being emboldened by those in the highest levels of government. They could learn a lot and do so much better.

I wish Beto would run for Senate and go for the Presidency in 2028 after (hopefully) a two term Democratic stint in the White House.

The only campaign I've ever contributed to and likely the only one I ever will. He's head and shoulders the best candidate and it'd be phenomenal to have a president that's actually passionate about injustice and able to convey it so eloquently.

This right here is the man who should have beat Ted Cruz. A Texas senator spitting fire like this would be amazing and would easily set him up for a 2024 victory.

I would still rather he drop.out and beat Cornyn for Senate in Texas. He would get ridiculous donations nationwide for his campaign and help to turn Texas completely blue in 2020

I stand behind Beto. I'm proud to have voted for him.

I'm very proud that Beto is a Texan and hope people like him can change the state and our national perception. We're not just a state full of rednecks, even if that contingent has controlled the state politics for an entire generation.

He has a lot of opportunities coming up, even if he loses all presidential and VP opportunities he has the first democratic senator seat as it turns blue in the 2020s.

This should be a required watching because, in spite of Beto and the other progressives, America is on a slippery slope:



Good luck in 2020 but as resources grow more scarce and the ravages of climate change keep on growing, the cycle might see itself through within the next century.

debates are fake, beto isn't

Wish Bernie, Warren, Biden, Buttigieg, Harris and all the other candidates talked about this shit.

It’s important

If he wants it he'll certainly be a shoe in in 2024+. Texas is rapidly growing and shifting left. It will be purple in 2020 leans blue in 2032.

Beto did the right move running for President. Double loser as senate and his national political career would have been dead. Now he raises his national profile, is putting things into the spotlight and national conversation that need to be said, and he's a great VP pick if he doesn't win or he can go back and run for governor in 2022 or senator in 2024.

I think he's bad when asked to be disingenuous.

Up to 2.4 million views now.

Also he has a new sticker he will send you with any donation https://secure.actblue.com/donate/beto-email-sticker-20190819

Beto is at his best when he can give longwinded rhetorical statements, which often have significant meaning to those he's speaking too.
