“The better your own social skills become, the more you realize how bad most people’s are.”

I’ve been noticing this more and more as I’ve transitioned from “total chud oblivious” into “seems like a social guy to introverts, seems weird/cringe to extroverts”.

Also, I notice you’re reading Regan A-G’s posts as well… she was the one who drew a connection to Aella first, but her ability to be more honest about reality is cool like the latter’s is, while seemingly less of an outlier.

Unlike a lot of chick writers writing about chick things, she is not a r^tard and has a somewhat good sense of male-female dynamics... she has no idea what life looks like for men or from men's perspectives, but she's also not doing the idiotic cope / hope / bullshit thing a lot of (most?) chicks do...

"Running podcasts through Whisper and then selecting the relevant parts for commentary is now useful and easy…"

That's a pretty useful application for AI

What I find hilarious is that women get the ick, angry, shame, etc. when guys who need a hand take the effort to learn from others who have figured it out as best they can.

Yet, these same women, once pregnant and have children spend loads of time and money buying every book in existence regarding pregnancy and motherhood, taking classes and generally freaking the fuck out.

Can't women figure it out themselves? It is their own kid after all, millions of women and animals do it successfully, what's their problem?

Easy to talk shit until you find yourself in a similar situation. Just saying...

Everything is a learnable skill, women seem to like the idea of the male "natural" for whatever reason(s)... maybe growth mindset is a man thing...

I chaulk it up to ignorance. And I mean that in the very literall sense. They don't know what they don't know. They don't have to do much to want men to sleep with them, so they think it should be the same for us.

I find that once they either become mothers or older and have difficulty dating, they either get really resentful or they become a lot more humble.

Anyway, Ieven though I never had those issues when I was younger, I certainly wasn't perfect. I don't judge any guy who wants to learn. We all have to get there at some point.
