The "alpha male" thing is a leftover from when humans first evolved, I think. Pretty sad how even after a couple of million years we still have to act like apes in order to breed

I would guess that this is the case in other countries, too. Really makes you think


China is the only country in the world where the suicide rate is higher among women than men.

Here a very interesting study explaining why:

http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/189/5/465.full

So it's higher because of one subgroup, but it's still higher among men among other subgroups, and the ratio is increasing so China won't stay distinct in that for long.

I often wonder what the world would have been like had the testosterone levels in all men been as low as women's.

In military life...you are only allowed two emotions. Happy and angry. I learned that it is ok to cry. Embrace what sucks and move on,
regardless of it being the man's fault or not.

This article is leaving out a detail. My guess that a man gets hurt when he finds that his EX finds another man within a week after the breakup.

Here's my advice that can't let go.

Yes she was pretty. Yes the connection in the beginning was awesome. The sex was made the roughest porn look censored. Something changed and you can't be moping around wondering would of should of could of. If there is something you want to say to her, write her a letter. A CONSTRUCTIVE LETTER. Don't expect a reply. Learn from the experience, oh and stop saying to yourself that " I will never find a girl a pretty as her again"

Men have become a bunch of sniveling cry babies. unf**k yourself! Enjoy the freedom of being single. Take care of you now that you have the time. I better not catch you playing video games wallowing in pity and ice cream either!

I wonder that too. I wonder what has caused Vicky to feel so strongly about it.

...So, what has caused you to feel that way, Vicky?

Yeah but this isn't the military. This is life that doesn't involve being shot at and killing people, so other emotions are in fact necessary. Plus if you only have two emotions, I can't imagine you're a very deep or likeable person...

A lot of this is the allistic society again getting obsessed about gender with women wanting blokes that tend to be a bit beefy but lack the nerve cells between the ears and only wants her for sex and she wants him for financial and emotional security but it has been men as children that fell over thatr boys shouldn't cry and all that crap it is just illogical that one type of human being has to hide his emotional insecurity by acting a twat especially when young and perhaps 'mellowing out' in their thirties. The misogynist nursery rhymes that went around the school playgrounds in 1976 frankly was disgusting and since were based on the so called male supremacism which is a bit Cenozoic but people on the neurotypical spectrum do like their traditions.

When I was a boy growing up in 1971 I had two friends at wakefield lodge who were both autistic girls who taught me a think or two how to sensory regulate when experiencing sensory overload as well as at the school a suspected nonce on the prowl there according to my friend who blatantly reused to go there but I never heard of any underhand tactics perhaps the occasional piss taking that kids do and the fights that broke out through sensory clashes with other children and boys bullying the girls making one wonder if they have seen their dad lay their mum out or some other traumatic incidents but thats another story and I will thank those girls alot because they taught me a thing or two about how to treat a girl and also about not botlling up ones emotions and it is OK to want a hug sometimes you see heterosexual blokes doing it here in Amsterdam right now especially with all the spliff and the anandamide flowing due to the weed they were smoking but either way they were having the crack like anyone else and whether they bottle up their emotions depecnds on the conditioning during childhood and this pathetic warrior attitudes that parents instill into their children as well as homosociality. In relationships with women I have never asked her out but the other way round but that was expecited why and I thought this was because people on the NT spectrum are obsessed about gender and as far as sexual procreation both treat each others feelings as something that's disposable. Also when my nan was playing 40 40 back during the First eugenics war there was a lot of dergatory remarks about men who showed their feelings as cissies or pansies. I mean treating another human being for a temorary neurological state (that's what an emotion is) and showing it as something to be ridiculed and also because of the expectations that men were expected to be a chauvinist pig especially if they were heterosexual but there are even gays who are the same. Of couse men would be more emotionally vulnerable because they have not got the emotional support networks that women have naturally have and having not been expected to not to cry when she fell over as a baby and called beatiful or princess as a child and boys are often called terms of endearment such as a handsome soldier or someting military sounding and the Comprehensive school system used to call the boys by their surnames and girls in the school up the road would have been addressed as miss. Sorry for the long post

Nah. If you're an alpha male type of man (which is what most men strive to be these days), life is a breeze. If you're a man who has a brain and emotions, it can be tough. Nervous men are jokes in the eyes of most women and confident men

Are you serious? I have never trolled anyone. And I am a woman who has always loved being a woman. And I love my "sisters" as well. But I know that my life has been easier, and I feel that I have been afforded many more opportunities and privelages because of it. Being Autistic and female has been so hard at times, but I have [usually] muddled through it pretty well. If I were a man, I don't see how I possibly would have made it. If anyone wants specifics, I would be glad to give some.

I think Boo was joking, but I assume he said it because it's very rare for someone to say things are harder for men than they are for women. Although these days with so-called "positive discrimination" it's easier for women to find work in a lot of countries

And oh ladies (you know yourselves), kindly stop sending me unsolicited nudes to my pm.

I was kind enough to report no one, so far.
