How Men Treat Women They Find Unfuckable

Sticks48 comments on Apr 8, 2021:

It is a two way street. There are are women who think I'm too skinny, some think mI am too bald, or aren't interested because I don't have enough money. I really don't care. Some women find me attractive for whatever reason or reasons and some don't.Too many men and women can't except the fact men and women are NOT THE SAME! There are biological reasons we are different, and those differences are there for reasons that have nothing to do with societal changes which fluctuate over time and can differ from country to country or even city to city. There are women who are beautiful by most peoples standards whom I have never thought were the least bit sexy (Elizabeth Taylor, Julia Roberts) and other women I have met who weren't beautiful but because of the combination of their looks and personality l find them very attractive. We are attracted to whomever we are attracted to for whatever reason or reasons and that is just the way it is. Accept it or not, that will never change.

I know someone who has worked in corona virus ICU for over a year and we have had conversations about her experiences. Her story is completely different. Not the least bit impressed.

Urban farming is not some giant revolution and it will not happen on a large scale, especially in the Western world. America is not and has not been an agrarian society in decades and will not be in the future. Young people leave the farm because the work is hard, the hours suck, and to run a farm, even a small farm, and compete in that industry is incredibly expensive. One weather event can destroy an entire crop as we have seen in recent years as storms are getting larger, stronger, and more destructive. That was 40 minutes of my life I will never get back.

We spent quite a bit of time on a military base so we were playing with Black kids, Hispanic kids, and Asian kids. So between good parenting and experiencing other kids of different races we never had those feelings. I detest racists.
