On my end, my only experience of what my brain and body interpreted as love was essentially a fear conditioning experiment, such as the motivation to repeat the experience is absent. Translation: it hurt so much that I don't ever want to risk it again.

I can relate, having been through similar experiences. I also believe in the power of reason and scientific inquiry as a way to navigate through life with purpose. We have to admit, though, that when we give up on love, we give up on a large part of what it means to be human. And that is a sad...

It's around 75% female. Great news for these women, but.... what happened with the men? This should concern women as well! Why are so few men chosing to pursue such an important, prestigious, high paying, high status career?

I'm hoping that this was an intentionally ironic surface level analysis in response to the girl math thread.

We all know we tend to romanticize the past, but frankly, when we look around us, it really seems like things were better before. For the purpose of this thread, I will define the "past" as years 1960-1995. I'll go first: the joy of pen and paper communication. Writing a letter, maybe even a...

It is a stunning realization that smartphones, social media and dating apps are a strong contributor to many of our profound social problems: youth anxiety, particularly in girls; political polarization; now widespread conspirational thinking; behavioral addictions including porn, gambling and...

In all due respect, I was not replying to you. Humiliation and insults? Certainly not from me. All ideologies are subject to criticism and debate. They shape our lives, like our personal experiences do.

I grew up in an era where debate, even if sometimes vigourous, was encouraged. It's one of the foundations of democracy. It's too bad we now often prefer to retreat in our own ideological spheres.

It may be aimed at more privileged women, but it percolates down to the rest of society through podcasts etc. The manospehere emerged in reaction to the excesses of modern feminism when some men realized that they were being marginalized. I am not going to argue that this sphere contributes to...

You have a topic for a PhD thesis in sociology, and I'm not joking, with this post.

This whole idea that proliferated in recent years than "men are useless" has ended up hurting both men and women greatly. Many men have felt marginalized/unneeded, often retreating into unhealthy behaviors/addictions, which has paradoxically left a pool of women seeking relationships unable to...

Very, very interesting angle. I've always said that I didn't think OnlyFans was a significant factor in the shifts we have observed in the industry, and you highlight a deeper sociological shift that may be at play. (You should rename the thread to something more specific/relevant to get the...

Congratulations Kimi Antonelli on his wonderful car racing win!

Try Ste-Méthode.As clean as a label you can get for a sliced bread, and they have different delicious options.

It's a type of relationship that is almost certain to fail, and maybe catastrophically so, due to the illusory nature of it, and of the characteristics of both partners that are willing to entertain this type of pseudo-relationship. A client, and a sex worker. Are these people generally good at...

I dislike everything associated with this event Ostentatious displays of luxury Consumerism Narcissism Large crowds Drugs/ alcohol Nightclubs Loud music/loud noises Mass tourism disturbing the peace Etc. Etc.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to wonder by which chain of events does a 22 year old end up at the wheel of a $400,000 (approx.) vehicle.

Speaking of... 22-year old destroys his (???) Lambo while fleeing the cops. Ha!Ha!Ha! https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2026/05/23/en-images--une-lamborghini-lourdement-endommagee-apres-une-poursuite-policiere-le-conducteur-de-22-ans-arrete-pour-conduite-dangereuse
