Are you still naive enough to think that you’re going to get your fairytale ending?

Question

Or has the plot twist happened yet, whacking you on the head with the revelation that life, for most people, is a wild garden of weeds, nettles and barbed wire, wrapping around your veins and crushing your vital organs until one day you’ll just become pulp and sinew and be used as fertiliser to help feed the new generation of sad, sapless simpletons slapped into submission by the sour scent of stark sorrow?

A wild garden can be redeveloped into a beautiful oasis. It can be the same place with the same surroundings which just needs hard work and a desire to make the once dilapidated space a place for happiness. Gardens don't happen fully formed, they take hard work, vision and a will to fill them with beautiful plants and vegetables where cute little animals can live. Surround yourself with people that want to be in your garden and want to help make it into the oasis. Sure, there can be mud in the garden and you can trip on a stone and fall down and things can seem like they're awful when you have a face full of dirt. But just lift your face out of the sludge and you'll see a little hedgehog scurrying around under a fruit bush and a pretty family of birds nibbling at your bird table and you might be able to remember that it's not the garden that is causing you to feel down, it's just your own particular outlook. Changing that viewpoint can change how you see things, even down in the mud you'll see the prettiest of ladybugs living in the weeds. Your fairytale can happen and you don't need a new garden for that.

Or you can concrete the lot and build a house on it. Watevs.

No, I was naïve until I realised that my dreaming never come true, after many harsh rejections when being treated as a sex object. I cannot work on any dream as long as it has a high level of interaction and influence from the want of other people, especially when it comes to men and romance.

I'm still naive. I've been through a lot of shit but most of it is because of myself. I didn't understand myself, or I misunderstood the situation and that's why I acted in a way that got me nowhere or hurt myself. But I've been learning a lot and I'm still optimistic. Letting go and staying relaxed are very important.

I'm still optimistic.

I'm not sure my story will end well.
My fiancée's favorite movie ends up with the girl protagonist decapitating her boyfriend mid-coitus, á la praying mantis, because he wanted to leave her.
She finds it very romantic, so I guess I'll end up that way one day.

I mean, I’d be worried?

Eh, it's not like I'm particularly worried.
Though she did save my life when I accidentally slashed my wrist, so I'm not sure she'll decapitate me so soon.

Maybe she’ll choose a more creative route and poison you with a deadly mushroom risotto?

No.

I actually think I'm going to die in the most unfairest circumstances to be honest.

If I don't end up killing myself first like a coward that is.

I could have it at will but women aren't worth the financial and legal risks. I think you're just a seller in a buyer's market.

TL;DR: girls too risky; walking wallets harder to pin down.
Where are all the smart girls? I don't like to speak in a painfully bland manner, as though all were the village idiot.

Girls are not raised to be smart. They’re raised to be pretty, and it ain’t their fault fella.

I was mean to you on national compliment day... for some reason, I like you... got a little carried away. You seem like a lot of fun, okay?
TL;DR: biology > sociology
"For not only is the average man more intelligent than the average woman but also a clear and rather startling imbalance emerges between the sexes at the high levels of intelligence that the most demanding jobs require.
For instance, at the near-genius level (an IQ of 145), brilliant men outnumber brilliant women by 8 to one. That's statistics, not sexism."

Do you see why we don't respect you girls? You invent nothing but excuses, you're a tax and intellectual burden, Onlyfans is cheap, porn is free and shopping is your hobby.
