Great-looking women who are hot in bed and into you, might happen 4 times at the high end of most male experience.

 

Most guys are lucky to even be with 10 women in their life. And that includes handies. From fatties.

life must be so hard for all those men.

"You will own nothing and you will be happy" is the brainchild of Danish Politician Ida Auken in a 2016 essay for the World Economic Forum (WEF)

 

Is that specific enough?

 

[LaosLover]

I quake in fear at Danish tyranny.

 

No wait, I don't -that's just you.

 

I'm lately owning little and loving life. 

Do you think I could pull Danish? Like, and old leathery one in Hua Hin?

There was a golden window of '73-76 where feminism and promiscuity intersected, but idiots like me killed the golden goose.

You just need to be financially successful. Surely it isn't that hard.

If I could pay them to be actually into me, I would. In a heartbeat.

 

But I tried (and I tried) and it was alway like when Wiley Coyote gets the birthday cake with the suspiciously large candle.

 

Money only greases the skids when (unprompted) groinal dampness is already present.

Some people are more creative, logic and have better memory as well gifted to be good preachers and speaker's. Not to forget charismatic, and used their gifts to learn something, and for then teach others, who again make progress of others work, and hopefully improve, and make a new direction.

I enjoy listening to Dr. Peterson. He is practical and has a firm foundation of common sense. 

Another really good discussion he has on YouTube is with Russell Brand.  I was amazed. I bought and read a portion of his book, "12 Rules for life".  This brings me to my 'primary' comment.  His book and some of his discussions are so 'cerebral'.  What I mean is his work is spot on but it takes me a lot of time to listen and read, then reread his book and discussion. Even RUssell is unbelievably intellectual.  BUT, 100%, Peterson is right. about woke culture. We should not be compelled to call a man a woman or a woman a man just because they 'feel' they're not the same as their biological sex. Compelled is the operative word. Even Peterson admitted when asked 'nicely' that he has no problem to call the person by their 'new' name. (but the theys, thems and zees, etc are not acceptable).

You will be compelled to call them as they wish to be called. Watch this space.

 

Moreover, you will be prevented from calling them what they don't wish to be called.

Lesbians, isexuals and transgender individuals may feel excluded by the term “gay”.

A descriptive adjective (ex. “I am an LGBTQ individual”).

* Words indicated with an asterisk in bold are considered derogatory

-Adapted from Montclair State University Lesbian, Gay Bisexual, Transgender , Queen Center

As usual @spidermike007 I find myself agreeing with most of what you have said on this thread.

I would add.....all of those terms should be ignored as should people who claim to be "Woke" or "PC".

Whoever these terms apply to, it comes down to their chosen lifestyle which, as long as only consenting adults are involved, is none of my or anyone else's damn business!

 

And....if one is offended by something, it's usually because they've chosen to take offence, not because someone else has caused it.

Finally that's my unapologetic take on the subject.
