EducatedMind369:


Good day. I have a question to ask: how do I become a attractive as an undergrad with limited financial resources? I'm a male by the way.

Do I just leave that aspect of my life till later in the future, when I might have the means?

Attraction has everything to do with your body symmetry.

If you're at least average heighted, you can achieve attractiveness if you can train your body to look good. It's mostly loosing fat and gaining muscles if you don't have.

You can't leave it for later because you won't live forever. It's about adjusting your lifestyle and achieve the result on-the-go.

The world is shallow place, and your attractiveness will open doors for you. Your helper can come from any angle, so you must not be your own enemy, by getting in the way of your progress.

So sharpen your edges, from your character to your appearance, and it can only get better from there. There are only upsides to it.

Tsarbomba:
Hypothetical: If somehow humans would achieve immortality (both defeating aging, disease and let's say gunshot wounds and such) would life be any less meaningful?

Just curious about people's answers.

Yes. Life will become less meaningful.

Just as sand isn't valued compared to let's say gold, immortality will make life less valuable.

When there is only birth and living forever, without death and living shortly, there is no mourning for the dead, and no value for life.

Threatening someone with prison is meaningless because they will be out and live forever anyways. Concepts like procrastination, intentionality, and living uprightly won't exist.

The very essence of mortality and fleeting time gives meaning to all these things.

maak400:
I believe Putin knows that he must respond decisively by attacking NATO allies if Ukraine fire those missiles deep into Russia. Putin already said they will respond if Ukraine fire those western supplied missiles.

I saw BRICS news on Twitter where China also said they will support Russia if the war escalates, so we are potentially looking at WW3.

My thinking is that Putin will likely retaliate against NATO using nuclear weapons, because using conventional missiles may not be as effective to produce the needed impact.

The whole world will be badly affected if all the parties do not begin to de-escalate now.


The way I see China entering the war is if the war transitions into a Nato versus Russia thingy. It's will be a golden opportunity for China to reunify Taiwan, when Nato hands are tied with Russia.

Then if the US wants to fight and cause trouble for China, then it would be the eastern Bloc versus the Western bloc. Russia and China will go all in and face their common enemy.

This is the reality the West do not want, but it's the ultimate end goal if they enter a war directly with Russia. China would want to support Russia, but needs a legitimate reason to do so.

Although China sells the image of a moral, benevolent power, they know how to play the geopolitical card. They know that Russia must not fall, and they must support Russia.

Very nice stimulating teaser bro.. been awhile someone provoke the kind of intelligent discourse you've raised above. My take on this is that, like a chess game, there's always a cost for every expensive moves, when decisions are not carefully thought out., there's almost certainly a fallout reaction/repercussions. however the side with skills will always win. And in this case we all know if the decisions to strike deeper by the ukros are made, the immediate fallout may be gravier for those involved depending on the available moves left in the other camp on play. But one thing is certain, if that should happen, we may be seeing a move from the smo to a full blown war and the world offcourse would've started it's journey into a new phase which the next generation would only read about in history books.. happy sun all.

Exactly, and this is a future I don't want to happen.

Just in case someone is wondering why Russia is buying weapons from Iran and North Korea, the answer is simple.

Russia is hiding it's true strength and capabilities. If your enemies knows all the weapons in your arsenal, then they can plan and counter it easily.

Just like how Russia recovered thousands of weapons from tanks to ammunition given to Ukraine, these weapons would be dismembered and studied, to understand the capabilities of nato.

So the trick is to never allow the enemy ro know your strength, or guess it through captured weapons. Russia has deadlier weapons the world does not know about.

There are lots of cities in Russia bigger than Lagos, that does not appear on the map. These are military research centers and bases that are homes to generation of weapons that the world never know about.

LordAdam16:


Every new day brings new evidence favoring hawkish positions on the war.

Russia should sink ships belonging to any of the tiny NATO countries. Strike convoys delivering weapons in Poland and Romania.
They have to create a new escalatory ladder.

If the West does not care about retaliation by allowing long-range strikes in Russia, Putin should start striking NATO countries on the periphery who are part of the Ukrainian military supply chain.

Trigger Article 5 and let us see whether Biden and Harris will call for a draft 40 days to an election.

-Lord

If the theater of war is only in Europe, then the US has nothing to loose.

Lavrov has repeatedly warned that if the US thinks that the American mainland will be excluded from the theater of war, that they are sorely mistaking.


And it's true. As far as I am concern, nato is one giant scam. All the nato members are just layers upon layers of sacrificial lamb, protecting the main boss, the US.

So if Russia strike supply chain within its periphery, the main boss is not hurt, and though unspoken, it would be to fight till the last Romanian, the last polish, or the last European.

Everything can be and will be sacrificed for US hegemony. I mean, who in his right senses thinks country like Macedonia or Croatia needs to be in Nato?

So yeah, Lavrov was right. The war must involve US mainland otherwise the US will use all their lambs to soaked up all the blow Russia will throw, until Russia is too exhausted to fight.

The old military trick of pitting two tigers to fight to death, then kill the winning tiger who is probably already too weak to kill a rat.

What should the wife of the rich man do in such circumstances? Should she divorce and go look another man even with kids?

Me I don't do talking stage o.

I just think talking stage happens mostly when someone is not into you and is assessing your matter.

When two people are into each other, dating or courting will just naturally happen. There will be no impediment to transition into the next stage.

You guys will feel so overwhelmed with the idea of each other, that the relationship will naturally be on speed, like a truck rolling off a cliff, and all you guys can do is slow it down.

Under Max three months, most discussions would have been discussed. From numbers of kids, genotype, future plans, and they will probably be the person you mostly chat with.

Relationship no hard. Na you dey do am with person wey no send you.

The person come dey use big English and being moral to give you the impression say you catch better person, when in reality, he/she nack one person same day because attraction was mutual.

One also boldly told me she can't date a man with 2 legs rather 4 legs (a car).
Atleast, if you can't date someone, courtesy demands you turn him down in a polite way but since they thought the man won't be anything in life and have rubbished him, they careless about his feelings or what he will pass through.
14 years later after altering those words to me, God turned my life around and I became better.
She saw me in a ride and called my line to meet me. I guess it was the open roof convertible car that attracted her.
Met her later and she started telling me how she had a marriage divorce less than 2 years because she was literally feeding the man.
Since she love flashy things, the guy deceived her into relationship by using borrow borrow car from friends and apartment of a family unknown to her.
Na when she enter marriage eye clear.
She got feed up of feeding him after a year filled with quarrels and fightings.
Long story short, she wanted us to start dating.
No be me and her.... I jump and pass

You be good man sha.

If na one Femi like that, na to break her heart again, as a form of revenge lol.

I'm wondering what would be Russia's response if Ukraine strike deep into Russian territory with long range weapons supplied and coordinated by Nato.

As it seems now, the West has written Ukraine off as a collateral damage. Ukraine's only usefulness is to harm Russia as much as possible.

So Russia's retaliation on Ukraine doesn't hurt the West whatsoever. Ukraine is the ultimate shield to western aggression.

I also wonder if supplying long range weapons to western adversaries is a good move either. Russia should accept that it's a war between nato and them. And they have to pull all gloves off and go all in.

The west strategy is to test the redline of Russia, and if it's a bluff, then they will increase their aggression. Until it gets to a point where striking Russia nuclear facilities becomes a norm, because Russia will not dare attack them directly.

If you're Putin, what will you do now? Remember, you must hurt the puppeteer, not the puppet.

She should try to loose weight, after that, she should make sure she earning, which will increase her chance of finding a husband. No sane man will marry an unemployed lady with three kids from three different men who is fat and broke.

Luck and miracle exist, but for that to happen, she must play to her strength, and not negotiate from a position of weakness. Being overweight is weakness, being broke is weakness, and not wanting another child will probably be a dealbreaker for most men.

No one should be denied the beauty of experiencing love. Good luck to her.

Bwilliam:
She asked what would I do if a woman says no sex before marriage, and after laughing for like 5 mins, I answered that the only natural follow up to that proposal is to ask the woman if she was a virgin.
She just stylishly changed the subject.

Most women try to lay "Pussy-traps" in an effort to raise their value, and trick gullible men into thinking they've met a decent young damsel who has had a rough life, and who just need a captain Save-A-Hoe to rescue her
Guys, be careful, the most common trap is to not give you any pussy. They'll starve you, make you wait and work for a pussy that they have given to other guys for a packet of indomie..not the indomie that cost 350 now, the one that cost 35 naira back then.
Aft

They dont usually like the guy. Sexual tension is very hard to surpress, but easy if you dont find someone attractive. Most men for example can be in the same room with a fat naked woman and wont move at all, or be disgusted.

So when a lady is bringing the no sex before marriage vibe, she is probably seeing him as a retirement plan, to hold down, while she enjoy herself with other men who wont marry her.

If a girl has suggested that, even if she changed, just ignore henceforth. You will most likely starve sexually in marriage. Except in cases where she probably have repented, and disgusted about her past lifestyle, and hope you can understand.

Men dont mind waiting to have sex after marriage, but men dont like to hear that from a woman who has slept with other guys for nothing, but me that will marry you, you are giving me conditions.

As far as I know, it is a straightforward rule to apply for permanent residence and then citizenship after 4 - 5 years of legal stay in Sweden.

PHD applicant are different. They are paid and they are under some EU directive for researchers. Those one have direct route to permanent residency.

I am referring to bachelors or masters student.

Jagermeister:


You should be proud of yourself what you’ve done here..

Even I, as male has enjoyed attention from both sexes and is now experiencing the true reality of life leaving me behind.

From not being able to attract the kind of “girls” that used to discreetly collect my number from people who knew me and into not-desiring to go to certain places anymore for the sheer fear of not fitting-in.

I mean, I’ll probably look out of place in a school campus and might be mistaken for a young lecturer or a masters student at best all while I’m not 40 yet, even though I’m ultra fit and healthy, is indeed baffling.

But I’ve come to terms with it… the same type of people who used to call me “my cute baby” now call me “fine man”. I know I’m not who I used to be and sadly, it’ll only get worse when I finally lose all my hair haha grin. These are even the silver days still! The bronze and even coppers are not far behind!

While I have accepted this reality, there’s a lot of people who will carry this grandiose personality to the grave and would still be questioning why their coffin is not positioned in the right way as they’re being lowered down! Well, nobody would give a shit at that point, that’s for damn sure!

Life is very hard, and I mean that literally. It is also harder when the tools a person have to make it easy is ego, delusion, living on past glory, entitlement, especially when they are just one calamity away from being downgraded to nothingness.

Just one car accident, a loss of job, a victim of others aggression (stray bullet), or being cut off from their host (for girls who depends on mens money to feel fly) etc. Life is hard, but the wrong mindset makes it harder.

I do not know if this is a good thing, but compared to other species, humans are cuddled from birth to at least two decades. Many of us went all through our formative years being reliant on others (eg parents) and thinking the world owe us.

For men, its also worse. Many of the looser male are those whom are tall and attractive, and went through life getting girls easily. And many girls are victims of those boys, since the girls aint carrying any load themselves, and think being instagram worthy couples is what life is all about.

The need to pepper others, or be in the spotlight is more important than the need to make sure you move along with time, and not stuck on the past.

I have said it before that ''delusion is what makes many people sane. If people can see the harsh realities of their life, they will be depressive''. So you can say that delusion is a good thing somehow. Its an anesthesia to the mind.

Regardless of the gender, its a very dangerous thing for adult to start life on easy mode for up to two decades. It will just make them lazy and feel like they are better than others.

They can easily enter any other EU country and continue life there.

No they can't. Swedes are not dumb.

The money will probably be deposited to your account days after it is confirmed your flight have landed out of the Schengen zone.

Also, it will be given to migrants with immigration records in Sweden, eg failed asylum seekers, and even legal residents like the Muslims they hate to much.

The program is not available for temporary residents like those on student permit and work permit. Those kinds of permit are dead end and doesn't leads to permanent residency.

With this cash program, Sweden is targeting immigrants with long-term legal residency, even those with permanent one. They will cancel your peemit after you've left.

You cant just enter Sweden from let's say Finland, and tell them you want the money to go home. Them no go answer you.

The downside of those over-inflated ego is that just like ballon, it's easy so burst. Insecurities and superficial ego goes hand in hand.

A simple thing like ignoring her, not giving her special treatment, expecting civility from her, expecting her to act right, or pointing at her deficiencies, can almost send her to depression.

Many also hold on to their past glory as they aged, since they can't understand why these treatments are fading off and society now treat them like adult.

I still think one of the blessings of being a man is that from little, the harsh realities of life falls on you, and you can't escape it. Such realities with open your eyes, make you work hard and not suffer from grandeur delulu.

Like the old saying, "Men see themselves in little boys, but women see themselves as little girls".

The more beautiful the lady, the harder the cope.

This doesn't apply to every woman though, but to those who went through life relying only on their beauty to get by, without adding any value to themselves whatsoever.
