You think it’s a sign of weakness to “need someone” but I think it’s a mark of profound cowardice to pretend that you don’t need anyone and that all people are interchangeable. Humans need other humans to love or else life is meaningless

I was getting a pedicure and the guy doing my feet had a big tattoo on his arm in another language. “What’s that say?” I asked. He paused, a moment of hesitation before he met my eyes, “It says I’m cowboy.” Then he hung his head in shame and said “but I am not cowboy” :(

@homemakinghunny You tell a guy he has a dad bod and he is not going to interpret that as a compliment. The real difference is that men have owned the term and brought a kindof charm to it by doing so, but women are too traumatized by their flaws to be charming and delightful about them

Something that the Japanese and women in general understand is that making everything cute and fun forces a degree of civility in society. This is often missing in societies lead by men, who are too insecure about their sexuality to admit to enjoying things that are cute and fun.

If you want to know what’s wrong with society, pay attention to the way kids make fun of adults. Kids always see the elephant in the room; they’re experts at identifying the invisible, unnecessary, absurd hangups and that adults struggle to identify, let alone overcome.
