Is It Harder For A Guy To Get A Girlfriend Then A Girl To Get A Boyfriend?

Our western culture is rotten. That is the reason things are not like they're supposed to be. Mostly for young people that is. Older people still know how it should be because they lived it in their lifetime.

Wow thank god for Schopenhauer. If I remember correctly with my feeble female mind getting the actual baby out of the womb also required the assistance of a woman...but only for several thousand years of course.

VERY impressive you were able to formulate that sentence seraphim clearly you're an anomaly

“Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.”

Schopenhauer missed that both men and women are foolish, and that children have many talents that adults lack. The philosopher’s greatest virtue is that he or she doesn’t jump to conclusions or bring preconceived notions to perception. Just as the child perceives the world as it is, without putting more into things than he experiences.

I think Schopenhauer was a nazi philosopher, in "ominous parallels" leanord peikoff mentions him, i think. Interesting if he's becoming popular again now, hes just like this peterson ***hole and all the rest of them.

Yeah, everybody who you disagree with is a Nazi.

History of Philosophy, Volume 2 – Modern Philosophy: Kant to the Present
1. The historical background
A summary of those issues of Ancient and early Modern Philosophy essential for an understanding of recent philosophic trends.

2-3. Aristotelian logic is banished from philosophy
The Father of Contemporary Philosophy: Immanuel Kant. The Kantian revolution in philosophy — the analytic-synthetic dichotomy — Kant’s famous argument: the “deduction of the categories” — reality as unknowable “things-in-themselves” — the phenomenal and noumenal worlds. Kant’s ethics: the morality of duty — the attack on happiness — the Categorical Imperative.

4. A new “logic” leads to an old politics. . .
Hegel. Reality as a dialectic process — the Absolute — the coherence theory of truth-Hegel’s concept of freedom — the absolutist state.

5. . . . and to an epidemic of irrationalism
Nineteenth-century German romanticism. Schopenhauer: the metaphysics of the Will — the irrationality of the universe. Nietzsche: the philosophy of Power — “Beyond Good and Evil.” Marx: the philosophy of Communism — romanticism unites with materialism: dialectical materialism — the economic interpretation of history — advocacy of world revolution.

Not that i trust columbia university, but schopenhauer and the nazis is well known. Fascist and Nazi philosophy

So is the relationship between mysticism and nazism. Ancient bloodlines, chosen superior people, etc

My first baby was born in the toilet of the hospital with nobody present. I was 1cm dilated when last checked so was completely unexpected. So while I didn’t plan it, I can see how it’s possible to birth a child alone. My second baby was born with me up on all fours. I wanted to get to that position and it turned out she was a larger baby. I had a doula that helped me follow my instincts because the hospital midwives would not let me get off the bed. I don’t get how babies are born when lying down! I would have done a homebirth but it wasn’t legal in that country.

I don't think they're fringe. Women can give birth by themselves they do it all the time

I agree with you but I also don't know any women personally in America who have given birth alone. I've read some blogs where women choose to do it as a form of protest against medical interventions and they get a lot of slack for it. There are also some YouTube videos but the comments are quite hateful and people call these women irresponsible baby killers (even if all goes well).

Michel Odent is a French obstetrician who believes that leaving women alone actually allows them to go into a state of lowered awareness and allows a "birth reflex" to kick in. That's why I think women have better results with midwives...they basically sit around and wait just in case. Or the midwife can do a few maneuvers if things aren't progressing as planned.

My experience with older men (even as young as early 30s) is they have diminished sex drive. It’s quite disappointing. I’m in my mid 30s and am quite sure I’m done with children, but it’s not easy finding a compatible partner, for companionship and sex. Since founding Peat I have found my libido to be much better than ever so its frustrating with low drive men.

Jersey Shore, teen moms, MTV, porn, jokes about sex and porn in comedy, vulgar rap lyrics, vulgar pop lyrics, going out to nightclubs.

C'mon people it's not that hard to figure out isn't it?

Children and teens get indoctrinated with this at early age.

I was just yesterday thinking about that MTV show room raiders. I was maybe 9 or 10 and it would be on TV. One part of the show was they would use a black light to presumably look for semen on the sheets.

I don’t agree with you that it’s just western civilixation though. The decay is widespread and takes many forms. Even in cultures that on the outside may demonstrate some conservatism or are prudish, you’d be surprised to know what goes on behind closed doors.

I’ve heard of this happening plenty of times. My comment was about women giving birth alone, planned and intentionally - like going to a field or river and delivering a baby with no medical intervention throughout the pregnancy

Also there are “medwives” and “midwives” - unfortunately there is a lot of coercion in hospitals and no matter what their training is, many midwives become medwives. I’ve worked with home birth and birth center midwives and can’t imagine anyone of them ever telling a pregnant woman she can’t move unless she had a varicosity or some life threatening thing going on.

This likely has to due with much lower testosterone, especially among younger men. Too much crap in food, air and water messes with T.

The association of Schop with Nazis may be well known, but he's not responsible for them and it indicates nothing about the validity or not of his philosophy. Anybody at anytime can selectively ransack and cherry-pick other people's ideas (without noting they are doing so) and come up with some sort of pile of colorful intellectual debris that looks plausible superficially but is incoherent and false upon further examination. As did the Nazis (note quote below). Condemning a philosopher from the past because Nazis used him is just a way for the intellectually lazy and dishonest to condemn his philosophy without exerting themselves at all while appearing to be "deep." A more subtle form of virtue signaling.

"The Nazis used all sorts of ideologies in service of their program. They weren't loyal scholars, but took whatever ideas they could, out of context, and crafted ideas that justified the supremacy of the Germanic peoples. They used thinkers like Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, and they hijacked symbols from Eastern religion (e.g. the Swastika). But I think the biggest influence, ideologically, was Germanic/Norse mythology. They used it in a lot of their propaganda, almost deifying Hitler and SS troops and justifying their own aggressions."

Yes, significantly harder - unless you're a man in the top 20%, then it is significantly easier :)
