    Is he also calling all the men (main characters) sexy in videogames?

    I saw a very insightful video about this topic.

    Women apparently do not find these game characters sexy (nor gay men apparently) and then the straight men who think they are and strive to look that way will say that the women are laying.

    That made me wonder who they want to impress, other men? Themselves? Or they are just in disbelief that they put so much work into something that only attracts other straight men?

    I shouldn’t take this serious but it is funnier that way haha

      Yes.

      Fucking people and looking like you fuck people are two different categories, and frankly, women being allowed to choose the winners here has always been very frustrating for them.

        But they don’t. They don’t get to choose how men want to look. And they don’t choose who they like, this is something two people chooses. otherwise it’s a serious crime.

    Tate knows this is nonsense. He gets more subscribers and more money every time there is outrage about something he said. Don’t share.

      There was that meme where a guy said he was the most straight person ever because in college, he blew a guy, and then had sex with him, and both times, he hated it.

      So he was 100% confident that he was straight. So if you never had gay sex, you’ll never know and so you’re just a uncertain straight.

      There was a quote I saw recently that said something along the lines of the idea that if your satire becomes indistinguishable from that which you’re satirizing it ceases to be a joke and just becomes more fuel for your target.

      I’ve heard something about the writers complaining that writing got more difficult because life was getting even weirder than the series or something like that.

    To me it varies by age group.

    Women are the prettiest in their 20-30th and men are their best looking in their 30th-50th. Men gain a lot of character by aging a little bit.

    Its also common that women are attracted to older men, and men are attracted to younger women.

    Seems natural and driven by biology.

      Huh. I’m a straight lady but feel the opposite - as I get older I really wish I was bi, women around here hold up so much better than men.

        I’ve met women who can turn a man gay too. :)

        Its just people and sometimes they are awful, sometimes they are great.

        Culture also varies a lot in different countries or different regions even, and therefore also people and how they act and feel. It’s quite possible you would vibe a lot better with men in another country. Something fresh and interesting and not so god damn boring. :)

        I like Italian women for example, full of life. But not when they become fat. That’s a big issue for me personally and it just kills attraction.

        I think taking care of the body is essential, and if you don’t, it will look like crap when you get older. I go to the gym and lift weights and its absolutely necessary to stay fit, in combination with eating food that is good for the body.

          I agree with that last paragraph. Am more than half a century old and it really becomes apparent who takes care of themselves.

            For sure. You can look good at 50 too, its just about how you eat and exercise and if you stare into screens all day.

            Im 51 soon and I just did 60 min at the gym and then a 90 minute walk in the forest. Of course I dont have to work which makes it a lot easier. I was constantly tired when working and watched Netflix, ate bad food etc.

            So its not about discipline, it’s just about collecting money while working and then being able to stop working when you have enough. I worked 25 years. Felt like that was enough. :)

              Huh. I have worked 40 years and raised a bunch of kids, not as much leisure but holding up fine. I do work at a sports company though, people take long lunches to go for a run and we have a gym too. So there is both the flexibility and resources to stay fit. Really nice perk.

              Honestly don’t mind working now, it was harder when I was younger with kids at home and not as much seniority at work.

    During high school I was friend with a guy from a village known for their conservative takes. And while this guy certainly wasn’t as left as some of my other friends, he liked to fuck with his football teammates by making the take that gay sex is manly.

    Why? Because it involves two men. Hetero sex wasn’t as manly because it involves a girl, and lesbian sex was as girly as it got. His teammates really didn’t get that he was fucking with their worldview.

    Now he definitely had very idiotic takes himself, but this one always stuck with me because it’s just so easy to troll any insecure right winger with

      As a lesbian I’ve definitely seen plenty of gay interactions that are so gendered that I feel most people of the other gender wouldn’t be comfortable participating, especially conservative straight people. It’s really funny to me how this stereotype of gay people as less gender conforming (while it absolutely carries a lot of truth to it) results in people not even considering that sometimes gay sex is just two really masculine men going at it in a manly way or two women being extremely feminine together.
