Bruh, get you a squishing stick or something. Hardware stores sell round moulding in lengths up to, like, 20 feet. Don't get the missus involved, push that fear down and dispatch the invader like a man... from 8' away. Whatever, spider shoulda' brought his own stick.
I don't have arachnophobia. Well, not really. Spiders get zero reaction out of me until their leg span gets to be about the circumference of a golf ball (daddy long legs excluded). Inside my place, however, anything with a leg span about the size of a nickel gets relocated outside to continue the insecta slaughter. The round moulding was just a suggestion for OP.
Another pede above me mentioned black widows and brown recluses. I've never seen a black widow in my area, though they they're supposed to be here, but it's not uncommon to see brown recluses. Regardless of size, those are a non-negotiable-everything-else-can-wait-instant-kill-on-sight. No anti-venom for those bastards and, if you're not squeamish, image search what a brown recluse bite can do to human flesh.
I think it's just as logical that it freaked out and ran up your arm because your hand was the only thing touching the pot at that point. :P
I read a fun fact once: Spiders have a pheromone that they only release in the presence of humans. So it's like they evolved to warn each other about us. I can't verify if it's true though.
both have their fear centers blocked by something a fraction their size... you sure they're not transitioning into males or something?
I one day came to the realization the spider just eat bugs and decided I needed to get over it otherwise that's quite the microcosm of when shit actually hits the fan and people need to be fought for... You pick it up, you feel grossed out/freaked out, you manage where it walks by rotating your arms, and 10 minutes later that fear is gone.
edit: "So does my son" this made me sad coming from this community. Are you forgetting the picture you're commenting on?
My son used to hate spiders and now he crushes them with aplomb. Show you what some strong parenting (aka yelling “stop bring such a little baby”) can do.
Not really conquering the fear imo, but infinitely better than having his future wife lose respect for him. I think my dad used that tactic on me when I was young & was scared to approach a spider... oh god when I left this original comment I didn't realize these guys can't even stomp them.
edit: I'm so used to cupping them with my hand and releasing them, it blows my mind an adult male can be scared to stomp or swat it... gad damn
Don't feel sad for him. Try it with a black widow and then get back to me. My son is not a pussy but he doesn't like spiders. We have black widows and brown widows in the last 20 years too, thanks to them being imported from down South. They are creepy, they bite, they are poisonous, chances are you'll end up in the hospital if you get bit, particularly by a black, but I haven't tested if there is a difference in strength of bites, because you don't see it before it sees you and you stick your hand in where it happens to have made a nest, and after a while, you get so hyper-aware of them, and watching out for them, it makes you somewhat weird about spiders in general. That's why he, and I, and my neighbor, and many people in our state, I am guessing, have something between overt fear and a lot of respect of some sort for them, and subsequently spiders in general.
Or a snake. Her Bengal brought in a huge garter snake one day, jumped up onto the refrigerator and sat there with it in his mouth like a trophy, yowling like he was in the movie Lion King on the big ledge.
She was horrified that he would catch something that large and I was instead pretty damned impressed.
Took it out of his mouth by the head and tossed it out the window. He then was horrified, jumping out to catch it again and then behind the cream leather couch in the white carpet sitting room... well you know what happened next.
To this day I tell her that if anything happens here, make sure to tell the lawyer to have them check for snake DNA... not human.
What a mess... but we learned not to piss off a Bengal.
Indeed. When I met her she already had him, it took FOUR years for him to accept me. After that it was like we were brothers from another mother. Followed me around doing chores on the property and in the house like any dog.
People would love seeing him outside, stopped to take pictures and asked how we got a baby Cheetah.
He would guard the front of the property too, in the driveway approach area up on the berm, on watch duty.
One night someone drove up onto our lawn and ran him over. You could see the tire tracks in the morning dew. The neighborhood 'Cheetah' was no more.
There are many, many people that hate you for what you have.
We had candle light vigils for him at the spot he was murdered for weeks, she was desperate.
He was buried in a human baby casket on our property and has a headstone with his image laser engraved saying we will always remember.
In his casket with him is a case of Fancy Feast wet cat food, a package of his favorite cat nip and his cat toys... with the baby blanket he was in when she brought him home from the breeder from the Metro Detroit airport.
The baggage handlers there said they had never heard such a racket. Armande was a person... whom I believe wandered all over the estates north of us and most likely met Eminem and his daughter Kaley.
We would try to feed him some nights and he would be like, "Burp... I've been laying by the pool eating lobster all day... burp... thanks Mom and Dad... but I am so full."
She was hopeless for a while and I did what MD's say to do after the loss of a child, get her pregnant/adopt.
I took her to a place with kittens that needed adoption and this one ginger boy that had lost his brother to an adoption a few days later and wasn't doing well alone, saw her and cried out in the shrillest voice, "You! You are my mom! I want you!"
I picked him up from the carrier and he put his kitten claws to my leather flight jacket and climbed and climbed looking for her that was at the new born kitten area.
He jumped from my shoulder to a pile of dog food bags and screamed out, "Mom!!!" in cat speak.
She turned around and his green eyes met her and they were bonded.
That little red tabby saved her from the ruination of losing her pet son to a murdering bastard in a pick up truck.
Achilles was with us twelve long years, diagnosed with congestive heart failure at age two, he took his furosimide pill every morning like a trooper.
Him each summer tanning next to her after his lion cut shave at the groomers was incredible. He was the absolute best boy.
.
Thanks for the comment is is absolutely appreciated
My husband couldn't open a jar if his life depended on it, but he makes enough money to pay someone to do it for us. It's masculine to take care of your woman in ANY way, imo.
Guys it might be some sort of arthritis or nerve damage. Below Average untrained male should still have more base grip strength than average women, so if he can't open a jar it's probably for a legit reason
So far you said he couldnt open a jar if his life depended on it and he "screams like a bitch" at spiders. So he is either a beta soyboy, disabled, or you're disrespecting/overstating. Which is it?
He's a mathematician, programmer & coder for first response/911 so you're incorrect on all assumptions. Tbf spiders bite ball sacks. If I had a ball sack, I'd scream too.
People are praising the female PM of New Zealand for handling coronavirus. As if a remote island with the population of Colorado has to worry.
The funny thing is she did it by completely closing their border so it'll be interesting to see the long term strategy. Are they just going to stay closed until there's a vaccine?
It's also worth noting that in order to use that masculinity, it takes self critical thought from the person and his mentors to truly harness that energy. One person by himself might be able to figure things out on his own with time, but it takes a willingness to seek multiple perspectives from our forefathers to really open up all the possibilities.
I like how your auto-correct knows you use rosé (cheap wine) more than rose.
Masculinity is clearly defined in the Christian teachings. Provider, protector, strong, determined, constant, solid... How you chose to twist those words is your problem, and it isn't progressive it is regressive.
Christianity is at the top of the list and everything that comes after is in pursuit of it. Race wars disguise a religious one. It's the Presbyterians that always pretend they're another race to promote degeneracy right? No wait, Amish? BAPTIST. It's Baptist? Eh, escapes me....
You could also say it’s nature and science. The soy crew is actively fighting science and attempting to play God by altering the natural make up of the male body. Fuckin pussy ass bitches.
Their arguments revolve around the idea that fighting, physical strength, and aggression are not productive in modern life.
However, we all know that rural areas don't have a machine for every job that needs to get done. Strength is good to have around in rural areas.
But even if you live in a city, you still need the fight and aggression. You certainly need to be trained to be very selective on how you apply aggression and fight, but by having it, you build a protection against intimidation.
And even if you personally are not intimidated by anyone, men should be expected to build their fight and aggression skills to protect women, children, and the oppressed from intimidation. Even when in a city. Strong women will protect strong men from other threats. It takes all skills to run society.
Yes! There was plenty of posturing in the Chaz. The ‘strong’, if you want to call them that, dominated. The chaz was experiment for the way they want the world. If they bring that shit to where those who I would call real Americans reside, the strong would inevitably survive... and it wouldn’t be the dickheads who started that shit that would dominate.
I’ve had to adjust my workouts over the years. Motorcycle and bicycle crashes did something to my right elbow. Still do cardio and and other resistance work. Getting jacked used to be a priority in my life but now I just want to be lean and strong.
Same although I still love lifting weights. It boosts my mood and confidence in a way that cardio just doesn't, and I used to do triathlons so it's not that I don't enjoy cardio.
Nearly 70% of the population is obese or overweight. How are young men supposed to feel and act masculine when they can't see their dick over their belly?
And I would add in eating right is a huge component of this. Stop eating processed foods, consider going keto or carnivore. Get outside for vitamin D.
I'm the furthest from a stereotypical male. I have long hair, my favorite color is pink, cutesy kpop and jpop are my preferred forms of music, I cry like a baby with movies, and I legitimately find my wife's fashion, makeup, etc interesting
but don't get into a fight with me, or threaten my wife, expecting to come out in one piece. Don't ever expect me to sacrifice my integrity, my values, or my convictions. And don't even dare to disrespect my president and country around me. Masculinity isn't appearances, and no amount of hormones and surgery can teach you what being a real man is.
I am similar to you in some ways (points to username), and my late ladypede was a tomboy. Our ministry to alphabet people, particularly mine to trans people after she died, was to make the distinction between who you are (man/woman) and how you are (masculine/feminine). People need to find their identity in who they are, because if you revolve your identity around your gender expression like trans people so often do, then it messes you up. Identity politics is cancer.
Everybody is a blend of masculine and feminine, and apparently 5/6ths of men are distinctly masculine. (I've heard Warren Farrell say it, but I can't find the source.) It sounds like you've got a healthy base for your male identity which allows you to be feminine without being a degenerate. Well done!
But please don't ever use the term "real man" again. If he has a Y-chromosome and isn't imaginary, then he is a real man. "Real man" is a feminist-level shaming tactic which only does him harm. Use 'man', 'gentleman', or 'masculine man' depending on what you want to say.
Don’t be afraid to get angry either. Not just flying off the handle at every little thing, but when it’s warranted anger can be a great tool. Ever notice how people shut up pretty quickly when some genuine rage starts being expressed by an imposing man? Not liberal chicks shreiking in the street but some real primal rage. Too many dudes are walking around complacent cause they’ve already jacked off to porn 3 times that day and their body has no reason to be angry. Stop jerkin it and you’ll already be head and shoulders above every other guy.
Sorry to rain on the parade...but the 'masculine' energy God provided men was to protect against the (weaker but 'smarter') feminine IMO; who--as many men know--have a separate set of 'powers' and troublemaking abilities (not that they use them, of course).
A man's masculine advantage means nothing when he comes up against another stronger male--which eventually ends up being most males. However a man's masculine energy will give him a physical advantage over MOST females for much of his life.
And a man having that God given 'masculine' advantage is a lot like having the 2A--an insurance policy; used as a last resort. The 2A allows anyone to protect themselves against a mob or tyranny...and it can be the same for SOME men. Masculine energy is used as a last resort against the potential tyranny of narcissistic sociopathic women (of which there are many, NOT ALL). These women left to their devices will 'artfully' or ferociously devour, or try to devour her mate--setting up shop in his head and proceeding to eat his brains out (metaphorically). And yes, SHE would beat the living daylights out of him as well, if she could. 'Masculine energy' is God's insurance policy against this imo. I wonder why they banned me on the Feminism subreddit :)
Not quite. You don't need masculinity. You need brains. Plenty of brains will also automatically gather in enough 'charisma' to do the job (i.e lead).
Women left to their own devices can and will protect themselves (i.e the Amazons); and since 1874, with the invention of the bullet breech-loading rifle, ALL people were made (potentially) "equal". The weakest woman could then defend herself against the strongest male.
Problem is every alpha right wing male loses kids in the divorce to liberal family courts and until the president makes this a national issue it won't be fixed.
Need national forced 50/50 custody rules for all divorces automatically enforced.
I have always loved and embraced the differences between men and women. Both protect and nurture the family unit in unique and awesome ways that should be revered, not censured.
Hell yes. If you pedes aren’t listening to it yet, check out Rollo Tomasi and The Rational Male. Explains a lot about how we got to where we are. Gynocentricity is behind a lot of this gender bullshit, the purposeful weakening of men and boys.
Read the book, "Man of velvet and steel" written many years ago about masculinity, how to be a man in a relationship, how to take care of your family, wife etc. How to be strong in the community and stand for values. Also how to be velvet with your spouse, children and those who are weak. Remarkable book with great insights.
How can I reclaim my masculinity? I'm tired of using porn, being tired and complacent, lazy and anxious. This place has given me a newfound hope but at the same time I'm miserably lost.
That's the main problem with threads like this: they call on men to be masculine leaders, but they don't really care how you get there. They'll bark instructions at you, but won't be there with you. There's a saying that (in the context of relationships) so many women "wait at the finish line to fuck the winners" because they don't care about his race, but the black pill is that nobody at all has a natural empathy for men's lives.
The best way to counter temptations for porn is to channel that energy somewhere else, and intense physical activity like weights or running seem to be the most effective. Despite all the moral panic around porn, it is ultimately bad and unhealthy and degenerate. But I'm convinced that the larger problems are men's lack of self-worth and purpose: the former gives him nothing to fall back on, and the latter gives him nothing to look forward to.
Self-worth and purpose. That's what we all need - men and women alike - but while self-worth is the same (because we are all worth the same), everyone's purpose will be different. Men's purposes are different from women's purposes in every culture, but also each man's purpose is different just as each woman's purpose is. But because men and more disparate and individualistic, it's harder to cater to them as a demograph. But we need to, now more than ever.
The Bible says that the effeminate will not inherit the kingdom of God. God commands men to be masculine, and women to be feminine. And women who dress like men, and men who wear a womens garment are an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Lady Pede here. Thank you for this. I love the masculine energy of my man. He loves me and shields me and I am so grateful for him. Women truly do need strong men.
Masculinity can only be toxic in women. And in Men it's Femininity that's toxic. A little can be safely handled by the body from time to time. Too much, too often, and your brain will simply cease functioning.
Teach your sons this for their own sake! Having a healthy way to channel all that new testosterone relieves a lot of stress. It also gives all those feelings purpose. It gives your son intrinsic worth, which if they are in modern public school he probably doesn't feel much.
Women are just as strong as men! Well... Until that pickle jar lid needs opening
That's actually my wife's job. I have crippling arachnophobia.....
Bruh, get you a squishing stick or something. Hardware stores sell round moulding in lengths up to, like, 20 feet. Don't get the missus involved, push that fear down and dispatch the invader like a man... from 8' away. Whatever, spider shoulda' brought his own stick.
I don't have arachnophobia. Well, not really. Spiders get zero reaction out of me until their leg span gets to be about the circumference of a golf ball (daddy long legs excluded). Inside my place, however, anything with a leg span about the size of a nickel gets relocated outside to continue the insecta slaughter. The round moulding was just a suggestion for OP.
Another pede above me mentioned black widows and brown recluses. I've never seen a black widow in my area, though they they're supposed to be here, but it's not uncommon to see brown recluses. Regardless of size, those are a non-negotiable-everything-else-can-wait-instant-kill-on-sight. No anti-venom for those bastards and, if you're not squeamish, image search what a brown recluse bite can do to human flesh.
Except when its a black widow or recluse...squish that shit. Dont want a pet or family member to get bit by that shit.
If you are a pede in Australia, pretty sure all spiders are lethal so...good luck and God bless.
Sack up. LOL, I love that!
Bug a salts are pretty effective and 10x more fun.
Even easier, just grab your vacuum and use the little wand to suck him in. Super handy for the ones on the corner of the ceiling.
I always think of that scene from "The Mist" where the old lady uses hairspray and a lighter when she gets attacked by the giant spider.
they eat bugs... literally all they do...
Spiders are more afraid of you than you are of them.
Well, most of them anyway. The ones that would chase you down and fuck you up are in like rainforests and australia n shiet.
They protect their eggs. I turned over a pot and I swear it looked at me with hate and ran up my arm. Squished with vigor!
I think it's just as logical that it freaked out and ran up your arm because your hand was the only thing touching the pot at that point. :P
I read a fun fact once: Spiders have a pheromone that they only release in the presence of humans. So it's like they evolved to warn each other about us. I can't verify if it's true though.
Don't feel bad. Or alone at least. So does my son. My neighbor is even worse than him.
both have their fear centers blocked by something a fraction their size... you sure they're not transitioning into males or something?
I one day came to the realization the spider just eat bugs and decided I needed to get over it otherwise that's quite the microcosm of when shit actually hits the fan and people need to be fought for...

Yup. I'm in charge of dead mice, spiders, lobster immersion...

What species is Bengal? IDK if I want to know even.
Oh sorry, its a breed of house cat. His tail was almost 18 inches long!
They love water and can leap straight up to land onto fireplace mantles and as mentioned, refrigerators.
He would lay on my lap and swat me in the ears while we both watched t.v., if I made an effort to move and he was still wanting to stay on my lap.
Very affectionate, fist bumping on his nose was mandatory when greeting him, it was one of his favorite things.
Bengals are cute, they have spots like a leopard. I think they just have a very strong hunting instinct.
Indeed. When I met her she already had him, it took FOUR years for him to accept me. After that it was like we were brothers from another mother. Followed me around doing chores on the property and in the house like any dog.

Yup. Programmer/coder for first response/911
That, ingenuity and problem solving are important as well.
I've found that tapping the edges with the handle of a butter knife can help. But what really helps is running it under warm water for a bit.
For most stuck jars, it's just a matter of making your hands not slippery. For everything else, there's expanding the lid with heat.
Guys it might be some sort of arthritis or nerve damage. Below Average untrained male should still have more base grip strength than average women, so if he can't open a jar it's probably for a legit reason
He's an academic. Mathematician, programmer and coder. CT in his hands & wrists. May be from counting money though...lol.
So far you said he couldnt open a jar if his life depended on it and he "screams like a bitch" at spiders. So he is either a beta soyboy, disabled, or you're disrespecting/overstating. Which is it?

Yes, agreed. I be sure each day my amazing masculine man knows how much I love, respect and appreciate him. I tell him, and I show him :)
Thank you John Hancock.

"Angel in the Whirlwind" by Benson Bobrick. Great read about the Revolutionary War (written in 1997..mercifully free of political correctness).
Jack Donovan is an author that released several books on the subject, like “The way of men”. Very based.

Masculinity is clearly defined in the Christian teachings. Provider, protector, strong, determined, constant, solid... How you chose to twist those words is your problem, and it isn't progressive it is regressive.
No: You are exactly what’s wrong with this country... this generation... and this human race.
What type of men, exactly? Zoom out. Expand your thinking. Can you handle it? No.
Who? Benito Mussolini? You realize there’s literally been one fascist state in history and his people loved him?

Masculinity

Those are the bulwarks of freedom and independence, cherish and protect them.

Nah that would be the jews. Quite convenient timing after they instill a race war on the west
I'm really thankful for you men out here embracing your masculinity! This country needs strong men!
Seconded!
Im thankful for based Women supporting us!
😍 strong male heroes!
The easiest way to ruin natural, healthy masculinity is by masturbating to degenerate pornography. Save yourselves for your wives!
You could also say it’s nature and science. The soy crew is actively fighting science and attempting to play God by altering the natural make up of the male body. Fuckin pussy ass bitches.

Take this weak ass comment back to Reddit
Never apologize. Be proud of being male, being white and being conservative.
One of the saddest observations I've made, is how the left has succeeded in turning young men into PANSIES in this country.
Yeah. It's gross. And strong, attractive women will not have sex with these limp dicks.
I’m a woman. I love me a masculine man. RAWR!!!
Amen sister! Masculinity is sexy!
Logic!
I’ve had to adjust my workouts over the years. Motorcycle and bicycle crashes did something to my right elbow. Still do cardio and and other resistance work. Getting jacked used to be a priority in my life but now I just want to be lean and strong.

This should be higher up.

'Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church.'

It's okay to be strong.

Amen to that. Women are not men.
only if you men take good care of us women though
I need to see this more, too many times I've been told that I'm wrong simply for being a male. Now im being told that I can not be a male I want.
The male fantasy is protecting women and children, tell me how that's toxic
Men are Awesome
Signed, Women
I just got done splashing all my toxic masculinity all over the gym. Fucking splashed that man juice everywhere.
Eww
I'm the furthest from a stereotypical male. I have long hair, my favorite color is pink, cutesy kpop and jpop are my preferred forms of music, I cry like a baby with movies, and I legitimately find my wife's fashion, makeup, etc interesting
but don't get into a fight with me, or threaten my wife, expecting to come out in one piece. Don't ever expect me to sacrifice my integrity, my values, or my convictions. And don't even dare to disrespect my president and country around me. Masculinity isn't appearances, and no amount of hormones and surgery can teach you what being a real man is.
Welcome fellow pede. I support you.
Thanks fren
I am similar to you in some ways (points to username), and my late ladypede was a tomboy. Our ministry to alphabet people, particularly mine to trans people after she died, was to make the distinction between who you are (man/woman) and how you are (masculine/feminine). People need to find their identity in who they are, because if you revolve your identity around your gender expression like trans people so often do, then it messes you up. Identity politics is cancer.
Everybody is a blend of masculine and feminine, and apparently 5/6ths of men are distinctly masculine. (I've heard Warren Farrell say it, but I can't find the source.) It sounds like you've got a healthy base for your male identity which allows you to be feminine without being a degenerate. Well done!
But please don't ever use the term "real man" again. If he has a Y-chromosome and isn't imaginary, then he is a real man. "Real man" is a feminist-level shaming tactic which only does him harm. Use 'man', 'gentleman', or 'masculine man' depending on what you want to say.
Don’t be afraid to get angry either. Not just flying off the handle at every little thing, but when it’s warranted anger can be a great tool. Ever notice how people shut up pretty quickly when some genuine rage starts being expressed by an imposing man? Not liberal chicks shreiking in the street but some real primal rage. Too many dudes are walking around complacent cause they’ve already jacked off to porn 3 times that day and their body has no reason to be angry. Stop jerkin it and you’ll already be head and shoulders above every other guy.
Usually, all I have to do is stay silent and give a stare. I smile most of the time so when I don't its a strong message.
Sorry to rain on the parade...but the 'masculine' energy God provided men was to protect against the (weaker but 'smarter') feminine IMO; who--as many men know--have a separate set of 'powers' and troublemaking abilities (not that they use them, of course).
A man's masculine advantage means nothing when he comes up against another stronger male--which eventually ends up being most males. However a man's masculine energy will give him a physical advantage over MOST females for much of his life.
And a man having that God given 'masculine' advantage is a lot like having the 2A--an insurance policy; used as a last resort. The 2A allows anyone to protect themselves against a mob or tyranny...and it can be the same for SOME men. Masculine energy is used as a last resort against the potential tyranny of narcissistic sociopathic women (of which there are many, NOT ALL). These women left to their devices will 'artfully' or ferociously devour, or try to devour her mate--setting up shop in his head and proceeding to eat his brains out (metaphorically). And yes, SHE would beat the living daylights out of him as well, if she could. 'Masculine energy' is God's insurance policy against this imo. I wonder why they banned me on the Feminism subreddit :)
Not quite. You don't need masculinity. You need brains. Plenty of brains will also automatically gather in enough 'charisma' to do the job (i.e lead).
Women left to their own devices can and will protect themselves (i.e the Amazons); and since 1874, with the invention of the bullet breech-loading rifle, ALL people were made (potentially) "equal". The weakest woman could then defend herself against the strongest male.

Agreed- strong men is what the world needs now more than ever. Real leaders.. fighters... father figures.
Wow! That's a powerful Pepe!
Darn right!
👏👏👏👏👏❤
Thank you, this needs to be shouted from the rooftops 👌🇺🇸
I love this site!
Problem is every alpha right wing male loses kids in the divorce to liberal family courts and until the president makes this a national issue it won't be fixed. Need national forced 50/50 custody rules for all divorces automatically enforced.
Any lady Pedes here need to read/study Alison Armstrong’s Understanding Men content. It changed my life!!! https://www.understandmen.com/
Show me a male lib, and I'll show you a guy who is secretly ashamed of his weakness and fear.
I have always loved and embraced the differences between men and women. Both protect and nurture the family unit in unique and awesome ways that should be revered, not censured.
Hell yes. If you pedes aren’t listening to it yet, check out Rollo Tomasi and The Rational Male. Explains a lot about how we got to where we are. Gynocentricity is behind a lot of this gender bullshit, the purposeful weakening of men and boys.
Does anyone else feel like a bunch of this shit has roots all the way back to mid last century when women started entering the workforce?
Wait, what?

Read the book, "Man of velvet and steel" written many years ago about masculinity, how to be a man in a relationship, how to take care of your family, wife etc. How to be strong in the community and stand for values. Also how to be velvet with your spouse, children and those who are weak. Remarkable book with great insights.
Masculine men are the hottest! Please never stop being masculine! ❤️
How can I reclaim my masculinity? I'm tired of using porn, being tired and complacent, lazy and anxious. This place has given me a newfound hope but at the same time I'm miserably lost.
That's the main problem with threads like this: they call on men to be masculine leaders, but they don't really care how you get there. They'll bark instructions at you, but won't be there with you. There's a saying that (in the context of relationships) so many women "wait at the finish line to fuck the winners" because they don't care about his race, but the black pill is that nobody at all has a natural empathy for men's lives.
The best way to counter temptations for porn is to channel that energy somewhere else, and intense physical activity like weights or running seem to be the most effective. Despite all the moral panic around porn, it is ultimately bad and unhealthy and degenerate. But I'm convinced that the larger problems are men's lack of self-worth and purpose: the former gives him nothing to fall back on, and the latter gives him nothing to look forward to.
Self-worth and purpose. That's what we all need - men and women alike - but while self-worth is the same (because we are all worth the same), everyone's purpose will be different. Men's purposes are different from women's purposes in every culture, but also each man's purpose is different just as each woman's purpose is. But because men and more disparate and individualistic, it's harder to cater to them as a demograph. But we need to, now more than ever.
The Bible says that the effeminate will not inherit the kingdom of God. God commands men to be masculine, and women to be feminine. And women who dress like men, and men who wear a womens garment are an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Amen
Lady Pede here. Thank you for this. I love the masculine energy of my man. He loves me and shields me and I am so grateful for him. Women truly do need strong men.
Masculinity can only be toxic in women. And in Men it's Femininity that's toxic. A little can be safely handled by the body from time to time. Too much, too often, and your brain will simply cease functioning.
Big time! That's why lesbians have by far the highest rate of domestic violence, and why fatherless homes intoxicate young men.
Teach your sons this for their own sake! Having a healthy way to channel all that new testosterone relieves a lot of stress. It also gives all those feelings purpose. It gives your son intrinsic worth, which if they are in modern public school he probably doesn't feel much.
HARDER. FASTER. STRONGER.
