Looksmaxxers are invoking basic theories like “greater facial symmetry = greater attractiveness” to reassure themselves that they could similarly attract and engage women for sex. But at least one leading influencer in that community was quoted recently as saying the sex itself was a waste of time.
The PUA subculture was all about leveraging basic human psychology into a series of maneuvers to attract women’s attention and engage them socially, but ONLY to the extent required to have sex. They kept score with notches on the bedpost, not with the formation of meaningful relationships.

This feels like being in the gate area for an overbooked flight when a snowstorm is about to blow in and they’re offering passengers a $50 voucher to take a later flight and no one volunteers until the offer gets up to $1000
Yeah. A massive number two
There’s a special place in hell reserved for the people who decided this was a good business strategy. I’m so sorry you’re burdened with this at an already miserable time, Sharon, and sending you and Andy all the good vibes from here in CA 💗
THE WORST
If I’M so spoilt, then why aren’t I FAT, hmm? Answer me THAT, woman!
Gawd I loved that show. Except the last season, which I pretend didn’t happen. But man it is good
THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

Archivist Q: is there such a thing as a series that is arranged intellectually AND physically? I can't square it. Like, sure you can put it physically in alpha order but if you end up adding to the series, phys arrangement is out the window

Terrible, rock-bottom, vile. Just an all-around pejorative enhancer here.
