I dunno how else I could have worded it.. I mean.. The fact this was put in the 'humour section' should be a bit of a clue..no? :

 

Even though Karenism has gained in popularity in this ''woke'' era, I was not aware it was now subject to a Noble price for case study.

I'm happy to know we are now going back to a more rational and coherent path but I don't think it's worth a price just for recognizing entitlements.

 

You're aware that we're here HomeForums>Misc>Lounge>humor?

 

So you want to know how to understand women? The answer is as easy as can be

Spoiler: ...

 

I know, humor thread, but for a second I thought I was looking here at an incel thread on reddit.

 

Sweat not. We forgive you. We're cool.
Reported anyways

 

I don't understand all this modern fandanglement.. Looking at a what thread on where?

 

LETTERS TO HIS SON
By the EARL OF CHESTERFIELD



on the Fine Art of becoming a
MAN OF THE WORLD
and a
GENTLEMAN

LETTER XLIX
LONDON, September 5, O. S. 1748.
DEAR BOY: As women are a considerable, or, at least a pretty numerous part of company; and as their suffrages go a great way toward establishing a man’s character in the fashionable part of the world (which is of great importance to the fortune and figure he proposes to make in it), it is necessary to please them. I will therefore, upon this subject, let you into certain Arcana that will be very useful for you to know, but which you must, with the utmost care, conceal and never seem to know. Women, then, are only children of a larger growth; they have an entertaining tattle, and sometimes wit; but for solid reasoning, good sense, I never knew in my life one that had it, or who reasoned or acted consequentially for four-and-twenty hours together. Some little passion or humor always breaks upon their best resolutions. Their beauty neglected or controverted, their age increased, or their supposed understandings depreciated, instantly kindles their little passions, and overturns any system of consequential conduct, that in their most reasonable moments they might have been capable of forming. A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humors and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with serious matters; though he often makes them believe that he does both; which is the thing in the world that they are proud of; for they love mightily to be dabbling in business (which by the way they always spoil); and being justly distrustful that men in general look upon them in a trifling light, they almost adore that man who talks more seriously to them, and who seems to consult and trust them; I say, who seems; for weak men really do, but wise ones only seem to do it. No flattery is either too high or too low for them. They will greedily swallow the highest, and gratefully accept of the lowest; and you may safely flatter any woman from her understanding down to the exquisite taste of her fan. Women who are either indisputably beautiful, or indisputably ugly, are best flattered, upon the score of their understandings; but those who are in a state of mediocrity, are best flattered upon their beauty, or at least their graces; for every woman who is not absolutely ugly thinks herself handsome; but not hearing often that she is so, is the more grateful and the more obliged to the few who tell her so; whereas a decided and conscious beauty looks upon every tribute paid to her beauty only as her due; but wants to shine, and to be considered on the side of her understanding; and a woman who is ugly enough to know that she is so, knows that she has nothing left for it but her understanding, which is consequently and probably (in more senses than one) her weak side. But these are secrets which you must keep inviolably, if you would not, like Orpheus, be torn to pieces by the whole sex; on the contrary, a man who thinks of living in the great world, must be gallant, polite, and attentive to please the women. They have, from the weakness of men, more or less influence in all courts; they absolutely stamp every man’s character in the beau monde, and make it either current, or cry it down, and stop it in payments. It is, therefore; absolutely necessary to manage, please, and flatter them and never to discover the least marks of contempt, which is what they never forgive; but in this they are not singular, for it is the same with men; who will much sooner forgive an injustice than an insult. Every man is not ambitious, or courteous, or passionate; but every man has pride enough in his composition to feel and resent the least slight and contempt. Remember, therefore, most carefully to conceal your contempt, however just, wherever you would not make an implacable enemy. Men are much more unwilling to have their weaknesses and their imperfections known than their crimes; and if you hint to a man that you think him silly, ignorant, or even ill-bred, or awkward, he will hate you more and longer, than if you tell him plainly, that you think him a rogue. Never yield to that temptation, which to most young men is very strong; of exposing other people’s weaknesses and infirmities, for the sake either of diverting the company, or showing your own superiority. You may get the laugh on your side by it for the present; but you will make enemies by it forever; and even those who laugh with you then, will, upon reflection, fear; and consequently hate you; besides that it is ill-natured, and a good heart desires rather to conceal than expose other people’s weaknesses or misfortunes. If you have wit, use it to please, and not to hurt: you may shine, like the sun in the temperate zones, without scorching. Here it is wished for; under the Line it is dreaded.

These are some of the hints which my long experience in the great world enables me to give you; and which, if you attend to them, may prove useful to you in your journey through it. I wish it may be a prosperous one; at least, I am sure that it must be your own fault if it is not.

 

As interesting a read as that letter was, it is tantamount to floccinaucinihilipilification in this instance, as it was neither humorous nor factually relevant seeing as this thread was posted in the humour section. Furthermore, Chesterfield, being part of Derbyshire here in the UK, they would NEVER have written it 'humor' being part of the upper echelons of society!. Everything then was precise.

 

Okay, ChatGPT. If you say so.

 

When you laugh, does your face crack? Just curious.. this is supposed to be humour.. but if you wish to insult? See? I can do it too

 

You asked for the answer and I answered. When you don't see, you do not see. When you don't know, you do not know. When you don't laugh, you do not know.

 

I did my best to act like a caveman but that letter is just a few thousands level up top.

That was condescension to a level I don't and will never have.

Bravo !

 

They don't try to find Logic and Reason because they are interested in FL Studio..

 

Mark Twain was clever with his insults, You are no Mark Twain

 

that's a fairly impossible standard to beat- Mark Twain wasn't even Mark Twain!


Incel=involuntarily celibate. I'm the latter not the former, the last HUG I ever had was early 2020. However I know that's my fault for being a shitty unstable black hole of depression with more scars than victor zsasz- the people who identify as "incels" seem to blame women on their problems, and pretty much everyone but themselves from what I've seen. "as a man I have superior logic and reasoning and will now proceed to generalize ~ 4 billion individuals across hundreds of cultures into one single stereotype. see how irrational women are!"

I know this is the humor section, so do feel free to get a laugh at my expense lol- I'm more of a loser than drunk Barney Gumble and I don't even drink! hahaha it couldve been a lot worse for me though, so while it'll always kinda suck to be alone I'm at least grateful I can make shit tunes on a shit laptop and feel some contentment, my hands still work. this thread for me is like a guy in a desert listening to people list all the issues they have with their pools- it doesn't make those issues invalid or anything its just is a problem I'll never be able to relate too. anyhow they say the grass is always greener on the otherside but I really don't recommend being on this side of the hill, it's just me in a gravel pit.

 

I think I wear the skirt in our relationship because it's me that's wiping the drool off my mouth and saying "huh?" after she's been talking at me for days. Well it seems like days. Could have been a minute. It's a mind-relative thing not spacetime.

The interesting discussions are the ones I start. I'm pretty sure she's listening since my answers to my own questions seem engaging, sometimes thrilling, and I can't imagine any tuning out.

I also don't understand why this happens with other people of any sex (gender.. identity.. damnit). It's fairly consistent. I think there's something wrong with every other person on the planet and I'm still trying to figure them out. Can't live with them, can't create the apocalypse by myself. Such is life.

 

/me putting on my 'I think im intelligent suit'

Whoa !! Bring it in big brother, you deserve a hug. Don't be over sensitive. No one is special enough to be saved from all generalization. It happens here and there and you shouldn't let it reach out to you. If you feel offended, that would be your problem, not theirs. Work on yourself and let other people deal with their shortcomings.

/me putting back my clown suit.

Andrew Tate said it best:
My womens love me utterly, and I love them, and we're nice to each others.

So if one start screaming, just go ''have a beer with the boys". That Drunk Barney Gumble in you will be proud of you over time and it will pay off on your temper tantrum.
