I'm only on page 15 of this thread so far, but I've got to ask, who the gently caress sends texts and expects responses within minutes, especially when they're contacting someone they don't know well, or at all? They'll spam like ten texts in as many minutes and then call the person who hasn't even typed a response back yet a shallow whore or whatever.

I keep in touch with most of my friends through text or chat programs, and I'd say average delay unless someone is available at that moment to shoot the poo poo is probably 2-5 hours per exchange of texts. People have jobs and kids and hobbies and poo poo.

Just saw "I am a serial killer". Is it weirdo wish fulfillment or just lazy writing that in movies no matter how weird and clearly broken a guy is there's a hot girl who finds him "interesting". I can't count the number of times I've seen a cute girl in a movie just walk up to a guy lacking any charm and appearing outwordly weird and just be like... Not even acting interested, just being magnetised towards them

probably just hacky writing - "serial killer must fight the urge to kill someone who cares for them!!!" seems like poo poo that writes itself

too bad for incels the real world ain't like that

I have a hot rear end friend who totally has a weird chick boner for serial killers. She does not date a serial killer tho. Touring with a band on a shoestring budget and everyone sleeping in the same van would make hiding kills difficult.

So here's a transcript of what the emotionally manipulative Nice Guy sent my gf.

For context of those just joining us, he is a 42 yr old man who has been in love with her for years and uses the death of someone she was likely to marry (who was also a friend of his) to maintain a link between them and feed into her anxiety and possible PTSD.

Bear in mind this was about three days after she told him she was seeing me. At the time he promised her to try and accept it, move on and just be her friend, instead of pining for her. At that time I felt bad for him, because unreciprocated love hurts and it seemed he was really trying. Now of course I know hes an absolute gently caress and is dangerously fixated on her.

'Hi, uh. probably shouldn't message you. I had a friend suggestion on facebook. It was henpod, through *cousin*. I now know you weren't straight with me last weekend. For example, you hadn't discussed with me regarding that you were seeing henpod and that you were abroad together. I think its time to call it quits. sorry. i really adore, you're a fantastic woman but i'm so sorry. I realise that you have hidden the truth for some time from me for whatever reason. Goodbye.'

Read that in a tone that is very hurtful and angry. That message made her cry and again knocked her into emotional instability again for a few days. Shes been putting up with this guy for years. I mean, Jesus Christ, this poo poo feels entitled to know everything about what shes doing and threw a tantrum so she gets worried about him and shows attention. I was so angry and had no idea this was the scale of it. I wanted to call him and tell him to disappear but as he is unstable she is worried he will do something drastic, so I have to leave it. But I have a much closer eye on this now that's for sure.

Well, shes now deleted his number and if he gets in touch she will tell him that he needs to go away as he is damaging her health, and to leave her alone for a good long while until he's more stable and stops this bullshit once and for all.

What a Nice Guy!! Cock.

Look, I was a creepy nice guy for a good long chunk of my life and then it finally reached a crescendo and I ended up stalking a very good friend of mine. Ruined a decade long friendship.

Deleting his number was a good step. Don't actually talk or respond to him at all. Even telling him to go away is still attention. If he does call, hang up, block the number. If he writes, have the post office bounce stuff from his address. If he shows up somewhere while you're out, leave. Just ignore the gently caress out of him. If you have to, get the law involved, but don't talk to the fucker.

It probably took a good six months or so for me to punch myself out on being obsessed, but it certainly worked. I was manic the entire time, but I wasn't dangerous at least. I really wish I could go back in time and break my legs and then force myself to get therapy and take meds a few years earlier. Say levee, as the French say.

If someone had been open and honest with you about how lovely a person you were being, not in a "You are a huge rear end in a top hat jerk!" sort of way, but rather an outline of all of the weird and terrible poo poo you were doing and why it was bad for everyone sort of way, would that have made you realise you had been a poo poo person and set you on a path to change your ways or would it have been the trigger to blow your and/or someone else's brains out?

Well, I'm not a terribly violent person. If I would've hurt anyone, it would have most likely been myself, by accelerating my already out of control drinking or making a big boy try at suicide.

While it would have hurt a lot, yeah, I think it would have helped if my friends had all sat me down and told me to knock that poo poo off. The woman I was obsessed with is part of the same peer group that I've stayed in contact with for fifteen years now and they're all solid and loyal cats. They're people who I trust and listen to. I don't know if she ever really told anyone about it at the time, though. I've discussed it with a few of them, and it was pretty much the first they'd heard of it. I was honestly crazy at the time and so lost in my own poo poo that I didn't realize I was doing anything weird or bad.

She's gone on and gotten married to a kickass dude, gotten a master's degree in psychology and now helps weirdos like me get better. While I was getting sober, I did the AA step of apologizing, so I sent her a letter. I didn't ask for a response, or forgiveness, I just stated my wrongs and what I was trying to do to redress them. (Meds, therapy and rehab) she got back to me eventually and said we were cool, so I drop her a line a couple times a year and like something on her Facebook once or twice a month. I'm not even going to try and get any of the closeness we once had back. I murdered that long ago. At least this story has a happy ending. :unsmith:

Any other nice guys in recovery have real weird self-esteem issues? Every time a girl's into me I immediately start trying to spot flaws in her character/appearance. If I don't spot any I start making them up. Once I've made a big enough list I drop all communication. This usually takes about 4-6 hours from first meeting her.

One of my loves came to me today to engage my services as an orator. It was the delectable little Carthaginian specimen with the perfect amphora figure and that cute little nose ring that I met last time I went to market. Well, I flubbed a joke about doing a little "orating" on her after the job was done, but she just looked sort of confused and changed the subject.

She handed me a few vellum sheets and I was devastated to learn that they were missives from my little Aphrodite's lover. Yes, she has a lover! What's worse, is now I had to read this insipid drivel out loud in front of the woman I love! How mortifying! I am a professional, however, so I took my coins and read the letters from some "Caius Priapus-cock" despite how much anguish it caused me inside.

I delivered my services with such fervor and passion, it was as if Eros himself were reciting the phrases, praising the beauty of my precious darling, and not faltering even when the words turned to describing vulgar acts I'm certain she's much too pure to partake in. Ophelia, I learned her name from its repeated use in the letters, stood spellbound as I executed my contract. I was so caught up in the emotion of the moment that when the final letter was ended, I embraced my fair Ophelia and kissed her passionately.

We hung there, suspended in ecstasy for a moment, until her cruel knee smashed into my groin. She gathered her letters as I lay on the ground and she left without a word, looking terribly embarrassed. I tried to apologize for my forwardness but only croaks came out of my throat as I lie curled on the ground. Oh, why are girls so gods damned complicated! I was so mad that when I got home I punched a hole in my slave.

You gotta be real pathetic in order to be threatened by your woman's dog.

What if it was a super huge and expensive dog that also had multiple expensive chronic health issues and was poorly trained and becoming more prone to violent outbursts as it got older?

It'd be me or the fuckin' dog. She'd choose the dog obviously, because she would have shown the poor animal mercy long ago if she weren't being all crazy about her meat property.

It would be a Catch 22, though. Giving up the dog for me would be a terrible choice because I'm a retarded manchild, but keeping the dog would be a terrible choice that would drive away the last vestiges of human contact the woman would likely ever have, which is why she's making a decision between the dog and me in the first place.

Antinatalism is the exact opposite of everything incel. Hell, I've been volcel for about seven years now because I decided it would be best not to have any romantic relationships or accidentally father any children while I was getting sober and trying out psych meds and poo poo. I didn't want to bring my giant raft of problems into somebody else's life until I had stuff at least manageable on my end.

Still not going to have any children even though I'd like to. I can't support them currently, financially, emotionally or physically. I've been thinking about maybe looking for love since I've been stable for a good while now and have successfully been able to handle some personal crises and one manic episode that I identified quickly, reported to my docs and got things adjusted until it passed in a pretty mellow fashion.

ikanreed posted:

Where do guys get these Madonna-whore complexes? Is there something in society that pushes this line of thinking?

Men sleeping with women, at least everywhere I grew up, was seen as an awesome high-five thing, the more, the awesomerer, and in all kinds of media the chaste, unsullied princess or girl-next-door is the man's reward for a job well done. Hell, even in the Odyssey, dude gets to bang hot chicks on his way home and nobody cares, but his wife's only deeds that are noted are not putting out until her man (assumed dead) comes home.

Men are given leeway, as they "can't control themselves," and "boys will be boys," and the responsibility for men's sexual actions is often shifted onto the women whom they sleep with. The women are essentially seen as irresponsible and devaluing themselves by general society.

This sense of responsibility projected onto women is tied to how reproduction works, traditional division of labor due to sexual dimorphism and also traditional systems of inheritance and governance. Women have high risk, low reward for sexual activity in a setting without very reliable birth control/safe abortion, especially considering their future is often tied to whomever fathers their child, or else they are often relegated to the poorhouse to struggle with raising the child on their own. Both nature and society puts great pressure on the woman to make a careful and considered choice regarding a mate, including factors like his social and financial status. Promiscuity is further frowned on because if someone outside your family fathers a bastard child who is in line to inherit your stuff, there is real potential for theft of wealth and property, possibly the result of multiple generations of careful accumulation, or sometimes even entire nations, as occasionally happened in history.

So you've got all of this poo poo built up that has been kicking around even up until today, mixed with modern contraceptives, safe abortion, very lucrative, non-physically demanding labor where the woman is equal to the man and can often provide adequate support for herself, modern welfare systems in varying degrees to ease the burden of raising children, very different inheritance laws, generally free choice of marriage partner in most places and other progressive stuff. This is at odds with most of history and probably even some of our baked in defaults as social primates.

So, even today, there's a sort of background assumption that a woman's worth as a human being is tied to all of that stuff, so she is as valuable as the man she can pair with and bear children for. Since she is in control of her actions and the only absolutely sure way to not get pregnant is to abstain from sex, this is the default expectation for women.

A man or a woman sizing up another woman's value uses black and white thinking (our brains work best that way) and reduces them to either virgin or promiscuous, or Madonna*-whore. With value or without value. The man barely shares any of the burdens or responsibilities of the woman aside from what society and romantic pair bonding chances to enforce, so he is free to act as he will in most cases. Sex is fun, so he is told to go have fun, or is at the very least usually excused for his falling to temptation.

*Madonna refers to the Catholic tradition of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, who is said to have been taken into heaven still a virgin. That seems a bit suspect since Jesus is mentioned to have brothers and likely had sisters as well, but that's some heathen baptist poo poo. Just wanted to point out that she was so virginal that she gave birth at least once, if not multiple times without ever having sex once. Madonna does not refer to the recording artist. Sorry for that aside

This is all my personal opinion and could be completely wrong. Feel free to educate me. I enjoy learning.
