I'll be honest, as a fat dude I can relate to how she's projecting those insecurities. gently caress if I'm going to broadcast that though.

The only reason I have zero sympathy for her is that she makes her living being angry that people are disgusted by her body through showing her body as frequently as possible then complaining when her decorum is found lacking on the public stage. It's like the inverse of Chris Farley. She's got a legit complaint but it's all part of a stage act and I could not care less about feeding it.

In other news here is "mathematical proof" of how hard it is for single guys to meet women. This was featured on reddit's "best of" subreddit today. Best. Of.

Best of.

quote:

Yeah, when you think about it, it single dudes face a grim version of the Drake Equation. It goes something like this (resulting unit is encounters with acceptable and receptive women per day):
(p: Portion of day spent in places where women are) X (e: Chance of sharing the same area with a single woman) X (aw: Chance of that woman being of acceptable attractiveness) X (R: Chance of that woman being receptive to conversation with any given man) X (am: Our man's attractiveness coefficent) X (c: Chance of our man actually making conversation) X (l: Coefficient of our man's ability to turn conversations into romantic encounters)
For low values of p and am it's basically never going to happen. For a single thirty-year-old man of medium attractiveness, the best place to meet women is about 10 years in the past when his p value was at its highest and the girls he met had higher aw and R values.
There's a kind of reverse Fermi paradox going on too, because when our man looks around apparently everybody else is in a relationship. This vastly decreases values of e in places outside of clubs or dating sites.

In better formatting:

p * e * aw * r * am * c * l

p = proximity to women during the day
e = chance of close proximity
aw = woman's attractiveness to the man, let's be charitable and say it's a subjective value
r = chance of woman being receptive to anyone talking to her
am = man's attractiveness
c = man's willingness to take initiative and start conversation
l = man's ability to turn conversations into "romantic encounters"

He intones the phrases "Drake Equation" and "Fermi Paradoz" so you know he understands mathematics and probability.

That's the worst part. This is isn't even math. Math implies a quantifiable value for each variable. This is straight up "I have passed Algebra 1 therefore I understand human psychology."

You just know this guy has put all this effort into thinking of his "equation" while sitting in some cafe or cafeteria as a way to rationalize never approaching anyone. "I couldn't approach them you see, I was doing research into the inner workings of the human animal and why single men are never going to be with anyone."

She's not much to look at and her brainpower is questionable too. As someone said earlier, she doesn't have to fit any standard of beauty, but holy poo poo it's just as creepy when girls can't handle rejection. It just tends to manifest differently.

Also, yeah, girls can look good in suits. Just none of the ones that have been posted here.

The Incel subreddit is a loving gold mine of insanity.

quote:

Definitive proof that inceldom is worst than slavery (long)

First, acquaint yourself with Maslow's hierarchy of needs:
http://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow-pyramid.jpg

Now, consider the typical life of a slave. In most cases, you are kidnapped and sent to work for a rich family. You're given board and food for free. You're set to work with other slaves, many of whom come from similar backgrounds to yourself, and who you'll necessarily have a lot in common with. You are permitted to engage in sex if it presents itself to you (see: african-american slaves and the growth of the african-american population). Now refer back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Let's work out what is fulfilled by this lifestyle.

food, water, warmth, rest
Yep. Your employers have a vested interest in keeping you alive, so you're given food and water. Warmth and rest are a given for the same reason - they don't want you to die and they want to keep you productive.

security, safety
Also present. You're given somewhere to live (which is why slavery is logically non-existent anyway) for your efforts.

intimate relationships, friends
Yeah. You're almost certainly going to come into contact with a lot of other slaves. What is the foundation of friendship? Proximity and common interests. Proximity is a given since you share living quarters, and you're certain to have common interests by virtue of having identical lifestyles and probably being from similar cultural backgrounds.

prestige and feelings of accomplishment
Slaves have done many wonderful things over the course of history. They've built roads, castles, even entire industries. It may be a hard job but it is a noble job.

achieving one's full potential, including creative activities
Okay, most slaves don't have this. But many of them are surrounded by nature on a daily basis, which would definitely inspire creativity in a not-insignificant number of them.

Now, let's compare the above to MY life as an autistic 21 year old incel who has never had a job. My life surely follows the trajectory of many other incels' lives.
I have no social interaction whatsoever, and my looks and personality preclude it from ever being a part of my life. I am provided for by the state, and as it's not a symbiotic relationship they have little interest in keeping me alive compared to the slave owners. I have no economic prospects and my autism and looks prevent me from ever having any. Let's run through Maslow's hierarchy of needs again, for the incel's life.

food, water, warmth, rest
Most incels in first-world countries (at least most with an online presence) have these, but only tenuously. Since we incels are unable to provide anything of value for anyone else, no-one has any inherent interest in keeping us alive. The government cares about us only insofar as they are required to show basic compassion, which can easily be thrust aside by the voting public in times of crisis.

security, safety
As above.

intimate relationships, friends
Obviously we have none of this. That's why we're incels.

prestige and a feeling of accomplishment
Feelings of prestige and accomplishment in our world center around your job. A high percentage of incels are NEETs and so naturally won't get any of this, but consider the following; the reason a man's pride comes from his job is that it means he's able to provide for his wife and children. Incels will never have a wife or children, and thus cannot derive feelings of prestige or accomplishment from their jobs.

achieving one's full potential, including creative activities
Incels have more downtime than slaves to pursue self-actualisation, but one of the underpinning theories of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is that it cannot be achieved without first achieving the lower levels of the pyramid. So, in literally every compartment necessary to have a good life, slaves beat out incels. I'm sure most incels knew this already, but I just wanted to make it absolutely clear for our normie friends that the life of an incel is truly horrific, and one of the worst fates imaginable.
