    Let’s play a game. What’s the fourth picture on his wall that we can’t see

    Double bed in the corner? Pillows with no covers? You matched with a child.

    Oh yeah, and the Nazi pictures. That’s bad too.

      I wondered if I was the only one who had this take. Mattress on the floor. Must be 18yo. I can cut them some slack cause I had the same at 18yo. And that explains the childlike hero-worship of jackasses (and I really like Steve Jobs as a product guy).

      Were I a young woman, I wouldn’t consider this person safe to be alone with. Not because of the shitty bed. Because of the psychotic worship of shitty men.

        We had a mattress on a homemade base for a while as parents in our 30s because our first child fell from the bed, which was pretty high as beds go.

        So we built this frame on the floor so that our kid could get in and out of the bed with minimal effort, and if she fell, she would fall the height of the mattress.

      Now I’ll be the first one to hate on organ thief Steve Jobs, but I don’t think he was a nazi, more of a hippy psycho cult leader.

        Yeah, Jobs wasn’t a Nazi, he was mostly an asshole that stole the surplus value from his employees and also credit for the work his employees did

        I was talking about the posters of Nazis. I should’ve been more clear.

        EDIT - To be perfectly clear. There are two pictures of Nazis, and one picture of someone who would have been a Nazi supporter if he didn’t prematurely die of hubris.

      Many young men who can’t find a partner are getting radicalized by the manosphere.

      Women are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

        like, it doesn’t work that way. there should be a social contract saying “people take care of each other, that’s how society works”.

        i get that you’re saying women shouldn’t despise men just for being men (and i could agree to that), but that doesn’t mean they have to accept any kind of bullshit. it’s good to stand against the right-wing sociopathy and reject relationships with these people. because ultimately, these people don’t take care of you either. right-wingers are often against basic human needs.

        Just to clarify, are you blaming women for not having sex with these men?

        The solution involves good healthcare, education, social safety, and respect. Men with no jobs, no role models, entitlement (particularly to relationships and/or sex), no apparent future, and bad mental health support are a recipe for disaster.

        I should know as I used to tick a number of those boxes. I think, had I been younger when YouTube and stuff came around, I’d have fallen prey to far right conspiricies

          Nope. You’ve got it the other way around. I’m blaming people for criticizing women’s dating preferences no matter if they date conservatives or not.

          People blame women for refusing to date moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and funnelling them further into the alt-right pipeline.

          People blame women for dating conservative men and affirming their conservative views.

          It doesn’t matter what political preferences women have, there is just no winning here.

        I don’t get your logic. You’re saying he would be a nice person if he got some? In my experience all that does is justify all their toxic masculinity because it finally worked and now they have a partner.

          Nope. Completely missing the point here.

          This comment isn’t criticizing women’s dating preferences, it’s criticizing the criticism on women’s dating preferences.

          People blame women for not dating moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and further funnelling them into the alt right pipeline.

          People blame women for dating conservative men which affirms their political views.

          It doesn’t matter if women date conservatives men or not, someone will find a way to point fingers.

            Then you need to work on your communication skills because what you said was “their damned if they do, and damned if they don’t”.

            Your inability to articulate yourself correctly does not constitute a problem on our part. Your edit is petty all you have to do was clearly explain yourself but instead you went on a rent about how everyone isn’t psychic.

    I feel like this is a 1000 IQ move if you’re a fuckboi.

    Put these pictures up. Girl comes over. She’s already planning on hooking up, so she’ll be inclined to not immediately bail. If she looks uncomfortable, claim that you put those posters up before Elon went insane, and just haven’t gotten around to taking them down. The picture of Elon is older and the Jobs poster is 2015-coded, so that will be enough of an excuse for the vast majority of people who already have other things on their mind.

    After the deed is done, be respectful. However at the same time drop some phrases that are conservative-coded, but still with plausible deniability. Something about fraud in Ukraine, referring to being non-binary as a “lifestyle choice” that you “personally respect”, mention the upcoming stablecoin legislation, etc.

    Girl leaves, weirded out but not immediately fearful. A day later, text her. Say that you had a great time, but you sensed there was a bit of a disconnect. Tell her that you could go either way, but the ball was in her court. If she brings up politics, say something like “I’m an independent, I respect everyone’s beliefs, and while I respect your perspective I don’t plan on changing myself for you”.

    Maybe she declines, maybe she ghosts you. It doesn’t matter, the point is that you don’t have to deal with her, and that feeling is mutual.

    Same result as a hookup and ghosting, but enough plausible deniability that your name won’t go up on social media

    Guys, I’m gonna set my room up with large pictures of Mr. House from New Vegas, Bob Page from Deus Ex, and uh… I dunno, Eldon Tyrell from Blade Runner.
