The fact that (up to) 15 million Democratic voters stayed home and/or voted 3rd party is a failure on our part to not take that threat seriously.

But WHY?? This is the one thing I just can’t wrap my head around. How were all those warnings and the fact Trump would run again not enough?? Understand that I am trying to make sense of this election from an outsiders perspective. But it feels like I’m trying to uncover a magic trick.

Well, I’m here now. What do you want?

Not gonna lie, this image actually had me completely fooled.

Can’t we just inject ourselves with plastic eating bacteria or something?

Cancer is le bad.

This can both be applied to someone who is extremely lazy and someone extremely disciplined.

Would you care to elaborate?

I don’t know if I agree with that, let’s go around the room again, all in favour? /s

Huzzah! Thanks man!

I did some digging and according to this. 77% of women 18 - 30 want to be approached more. I don’t know about pick up artists. But I wonder if a respectful way of approaching women could in fact be taught.

Why?

Perhaps you’re right. Maybe we are dissecting a casual social affair a little too much. But then again I do wonder, what do you make of the 45% statistic?

Imagine, if you will. A man so desperate for human companionship he is willing to avoid any and all women he comes across. So determined to not come across as a creep or weirdo. Little did he know he just came across the Friendlight Zone.

I don’t want to toot my own horn. But this would be a perfect Twilight Zone episode 😂

She was the roommate of someone in my friend group, and I was told in no uncertain terms by our mutual friends that if I screwed it up or hurt her they would hurt me.

Kind of like the dad with the shotgun trope ;)

Anyway thanks for the contribution. It’s interesting. I’m starting to question whether this “norm” of approaching women out of the blue was ever “in of date” in the first place.

I asked my gf in person as well because i just think its just important to be genuine and personal about it.

When you say you asked your gf in person. What exactly do you mean by this?

Well what I make of that is, that it’s (perhaps) an out of date social norm ;)

I think both the “would you rather run into a man or a bear in the woods?” question for women and the “would you rather be emotionally vulnerable with a woman or a tree?” question for men scream loud and clear why there isn’t much meeting in the middle on this issue.

I totally forgot about that one. And you’re totally right! Seriously everything you’ve said here is an interesting take on the matter.

However, the attitude of that you’re not responsible for explaining leads to nobody explaining except… right-wing asshats who are pushing division and hate.

Would you say that perhaps an emphasis on social education (like in middle school or something) would be good first step to this? And not just to talk about what you shouldn’t do but also when you in fact CAN try and make a move.
