Men dress for more tesosterone driven reasons, like utility, or hierarchy, or scoring a date.
I mean is this news? Women are more sensual creatures. Testosterone numbs sensations a bit, which has more than a little to do with men’s ability to obssess over a task.
Is that why birds invent new trends and dresses all the time?
For one: This didnt contradict anything i have said. Not even remotely.
For two: Its also completely wrong.
Just because you are a “more sensual creature” does not mean that you are not trying to appeal for the exact same inherent biological reasons any human being does.
Fashion might be in part self-expression, but its only ever driven by wanting to establish yourself in the social hierarchy. Whether its for the sake of finding a partner or just looking better than others, its all within the exact same instinctive framework, regardless of testosterone levels.
Nobody dresses up to displease or invoke disgust.
There are hardly any more linear and obvious manifestations of instinct than fashion. Its comically baseline.
They all seem to find some common trends though, don’t they?
Well yes it does. The very feeling of sexyness is palpable to a woman in a way that it isn’t to a man. Not sexyness for the sake of achieving a goal, but the sensual fact of it.
Perhaps, but one thing is certain: men are much less bothered if they happen to invoke it.
Even today, where men have become extremely effette, a wedding is an affair where women are a colleidoscope of color and shape, while men are extremely slight variations on some innocuous theme. Why is the standard different. Men go to a shop and ask the suit salesman and try on a few things and go “good enough.” Women can spend weeks, months, obsessing over the fabric, the type, change their minds, change it again, confer with eachother, quintuple think it, special order weeks in advance.
It was in sarcasm. They dont invent new trends, they all carry the exact same feather patterns unless a mutation occurs.
The purpose of the display is to show that they are healthy and strong. A good potential mate, and a bad potential opponent.
Have you been to a ghetto recently?
For one: Obsessing over details does not change the purpose.
For two: Buying a Gucci trashbag for the price of half a car contradicts and contrasts what you wrote here with near complete perfection. Its just a display of status. Not even one braincell was used in the process of it.
It reflects the reason. Personal sexyness is a secondary concern for men.
Actually, I like that example. Look at how women wear their bags, grabbing it, feeling the texture of it, holding it unnecessarily cumbersomely, but at the same time somehow graciously.
Men just buy a Rolex or a chain. It says what it has to say and stays out of the way and you can mostly forget about it.
On what basis would you say this?
I think you are confusing roles and situations pretty badly when it comes to this distinction between men and women.
Men are primarily workers. You see them a lot of time in required utilitarian clothing.
You see less working women and they have a lot more freedoms with their clothing than men do, so you make the wrong conclusion that men are somehow not interested in looking good or smth, even though its the exact same for both sexes.
Depending on the work, women too are required to wear utilitarian clothing.
And depending on the setting, lets not even get into the length of custom made male clothes.
So i have no idea why you imply that there is this monumental difference between sexes.
There aint. The difference in this regard is borderline insignificant.
In all honesty this just sounds like you are infatuated with women in general.
I have no idea what you mean. Grace exists for both sexes.
Even IF i were to buy into this idea of yours of male simplicity, it would be something historically recent. Throughout history men have been light years ahead of women in terms of fashion complexity. Have you seen 18th century court suits and uniforms?
So no. I dont know what your basis for this extreme distinction between sexes is, but your argument is strictly riding on the last 100 years of fashion.
Honestly, this equivalence between men and women is largely what is fucking up the first world.
I have had both experiences: third world women and first world white girls. In the third world, they are comfortable and happy with their femininity, and enjoy that thing about life that is most enjoyable (along with the many tribulations of life). They are sexy and like it and are happy about being sensual creatures.
White girls deprive themselves, and are always in a bad mood because they are obsessing over things that only men realy naturally do, because they were told to. Constantly frustrated and unfulfilled. And hilariously unable still to cease being sensual, seeking the sensual things, their bodies and hearts chasing one thing, their brains another.
Yes it’s true that girls feel more the pressure to conform than men (because they have less of the murderous instinct that feels able to rebel), and in the first world this has been weaponized against them. To conform into a shape that does not fit them, always angry, always lacking something important. Blackmailed into thinking that being girly diminishes them. As if intelligence had anything to do with any of that shit.
Fuck it. They are beautiful, you can tell that, if allowed themselves to live instinctually like humans are apposed to, few things could stop them.
As it is, though, they are very pretty and very angry cardboard sheets. I’m done with it.
It’s a big part of the reason white people are slowly going extinct. Their girls are progressively becoming unable to function as women.
Being girly does not diminish. It gives power. Following your instincts gives you power, who woulda knew?
This is just the regular problem with the first world.
Exponentially increasing the quality of life leads to a destructive feedback loop because no living being was meant to just “be”. To just float around with all of its needs being sated, not having to do anything, everything being at it’s fingertips.
We had this discussion in other threads. Liberalism and quality of life improvements are very nice things up till to a point, after which they will start to create the exact opposite effect you’d expect them to.
Limits, barriers, problems, hardships and constraints can be considered all kind of uppity ass mad things from oppression to nuisances, but the truth is that they also serve as a foundation for you to root yourself in reality.
Knowing how far you can stretch before you hit the end of the blanket and yer feet pop out into the cold is stability. Being under an endless blanket under which you can stretch into ad infinitum and never feel the cold reality on your feet is at best confusing and outright existential dread and insanity at worst.
This problem is way more far reaching than just men and women, or for that matter humanity itself.
The fact that negative experiences are baked into the system and a requirement for stable life, is a rabbithole that is all encompassing and goes from biology through sociology to physics and outright to the creation of the universe where we somehow ended up with everything in our reality being dualistic in their nature.
It’s a system of state “protective rules and regulations,” along with downstream “salutary extragovernmental interdictions,” just like theocratic Muslim countries, that progressively makes people retarded.
Communists in universities and now high schools and earlier, telling perfectly healthy young girls that they have to hate everything feminine about themselves, and must act and think like boys. Parents that have already been processed by the same system, continuing the “education” at “home.”
But hey. It’s not me that thinks it’s going to stop. Like I said, I am butting out.
I’m not usually such an asshole about it. I’m bitter because one beautiful girl rejected me and another one I lost her number and never saw her again. Neither of them a white girl lol. But the problem is real, the girls are the real victims. Nobody likes living against their nature.
You are not entirely wrong but you are also not entirely right.
As one of my romanian friends said, for some reason in most of east europe women are equal to men, but somehow they are not mentally ill like that specific brand of females in the western hemisphere and america.
Well who knows.
Maybe in east europe we have a touch less commies in the schooling system cause we experienced that shit once already.
But in what world, I mean why would you ever fucking equate differences in the nature of women and men, of sensuality and testosterone, with being treated with the dignity of a fucking human being?
Yeah, Eastern white girls are far healthier. They are smart and do differential equations and their body knows how to move when they feel flirty and they expect you to pick up the fucking tab if you take them to dinner.
Even the Eastern white girls are not perfect, but they are lightyears ahead. They are not completely alienated from the things in themselves that make them healthy and happy, the vicisitudes of life not withstanding.
The reason is largely that the soviets experienced a strange shift to the right culturally, they embraced traditional norms and classicist mentalities, as a defense of their statist system against the extra-statist communism of the NATO sphere.
Also poverty helps, sadly, because it makes it less easy to implement mass psychopathic projects.
Socrates:
Humanity’s first priority should be to deprive universities of all public funding and state regulation.
Do only that, and in 20 years you will live in a different, healthier world.
Go a step further for all education, and you basically have a utopia.
K: So, massive amounts of uneducated people is your idea of a utopia?
You must love America as we have vast number of uneducated people,
and what was the end result? Ah, people voted for the dumbest
human being alive and are very happy with the clusterfuck that is
America today… you are and I want to be very clear about this,
YOU ARE AN IDIOT…if you want massive number of uneducated
people running the world… the answer is not creatinng an entire
species of uneducated people, but the answer is vastly improve
education in both America, especially America and the rest of the
world… the answer is education… not less education…
And you fucking pricks whine about me when I show my utter contempt for the lot of you. Awwww, boo hoo hoo, the misogynistic wankers can’t take it when their shit is thrown back in their ugly faces
