And as we can all see, the very “CLoSE” race they kept telling us about was also proven to be NOT close at all.

Democrats always lying to their supporters

it’s like the lying cheating abusing husband and the abused wife remains there as the faithful servant as everyone around her sees the danger but she remains there like idiot. That’s the average democrat supporter, but they will get mad and defend their abuser if you mention the abuse.

Since 2001 we have been wrestling with men and with boys to talk about his feelings, and don't be a Gorilla and hide them. .. we went out to schools, Summer camps, hosted events catered to young men all around America since 1998-2001 encouraging them show more emotion and be open about how they feel. And have emotional intelligence.

This is what we've come to Avoid and overlook.

here is a case study

Brian is often told to express his emotional side and show emotions however his father takes a bwlt a whips him and Sister tells him"you're a boy! You must remember that!" His mother scolds him for crying or showing any emotions that people encourage Brian to show..



This heartbreaking case study illustrates the stark contrast between societal expectations and harsh home realities.
Brian's Dilemma:
Encouraged by outsiders to express emotions → Contradicted by family members who punish/emotionally abuse him for doing so.
Consequences:
Emotional confusion
Fear of expression
Internalized shame
Difficulty forming healthy relationships
Systemic Issues:
Intergenerational trauma (father's behavior likely learned from his own upbringing)

Lack of emotional support and validation
Impact on Brian:
Emotional numbing
Decreased self-esteem
Increased stress and anxiety
Potential long-term mental health issues (depression, anxiety disorders)
Break the Cycle:
Safe, supportive therapy for Brian and his family.
Educate parents/guardians on emotional intelligence and healthy expression.
Address intergenerational trauma through family therapy.
Encourage positive male role models and mentors.
Resources:
National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233)
Childhelp (1-800-422-4453)
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Helpline (1-800-950-6264)

Key Takeaway:
Societal encouragement of emotional expression must be matched by safe, supportive home environments. We must address systemic issues and provide resources for families to break cycles of trauma.

I'm not sure if this guy in class likes me back so maybe you can help me figure it out.

A few things to keep in mind

• We sit next to each other, so a lot of what I see is from my peripheral
• We're 17, (I know It says otherwise I thought you had to be 18 and over to sign up so I made it older than I was)
• There was this one time when we were playing trivia in class and I was 1 point ahead of him and I think he was flirting/making banter because he basically said "I'll pay you to lose" or something like that but then after he said that he kept looking at me then down then back up at me and at one point he gazed into my eyes for like a good 5 seconds and I was kinda taken aback and made me a bit nervous.
• Another time we were doing a video project that required us to ask some of our classmates for help so basically he was going around the room asking everyone up else for help filming his video and every time he would sit back down at his desk he would look at me and when I would look at him he would look back at his laptop. When he did finally ask me he seemed a bit red in the face but it was kind of hot in the classroom so it could have been that.
• Sometimes my teacher likes to sit in the same row as us and grade work, so naturally I would ask her questions and when I would he would look at me while I was talking but I only would he look at me he would sort of guess into my eyes sort of dreamy like, (which I think is unnecessary like why are you looking at me right now focus on your work) but anyway

But at the same time I don't think that he likes me that way because sometimes when I talk to him he won't look at me directly : (

If he does like me back what should I do? Should I write him a letter? Should I try to talk to him more, I'm kinda playing hard to get right now.

Sorry for the long read, thanks for any help in advance!

Me and my friend have had similar age preferences for years and that was to stick to men our age. I’m 40, she’s 39. People have been telling us for years to date men who were several years older than us. This includes our parents, aunts and uncles, each other’s parents, family friends, church members, etc. she’s even had friends our own age tell her that she should be dating older men (or so she says). I decided to give it try last spring after my same age boyfriend who had two kids and massive debt dumped me for being “too good” for him (I supported his broke ass financially), and I can say my luck changed drastically. Current guy is 55 years old and we both agreed we’re stuck with each other. At the end of summer, I had a party and invited my friend (recently heartbroken about being dumped but a guy our age for a younger girl), my boyfriend, all of his friends and all of their wives LOVED her. Every one of them and myself all thought she was perfect for a friend of theirs who was looking for someone just like her, so we agree to try to fix them up (the friend had met her once before at a charity event we were working). BF’s friend is also 55, retired, financially secure, gets a pension every month, good Christian, still works part time, has his house paid off and is looking for a woman to spoil rotten. So we pitch the idea to his friend, and the friend’s response is “that girl is a catch! She’s a nice girl with a good heart, she’s doing something with her life and she’s ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Yes, please fix me up with her.” I mention it to her and try to convince her to no avail, she won’t date him just because he’s 16 years older than her. I told her she needs to be dating men in their 50’s and early 60’s, not our age. She said NEVER. I told her then that she’s a stubborn asshole who’s throwing away a good guy. Opinions? I want to show this to her to make her realize this is true. Women have been marrying older men for years so it clearly works.

I seen this comment on tiktok and it really got me thinking like every conservative guy I know is crusty lol like what's up with that?

Think about it. Kids are sent to school for 6 hours per day, but if you calculate it up they probably spend an hour per day travelling to classes, an hour for lunch, an hour wasted on nonsense subjects like home economics or such and then being forced to work as fast as the slowest student and unmotivated underpaid overworked teachers who stopped caring a year after they started. Then if you add that kids on average probably travel two hours a day going and coming from school, then add on the two to three hours of homework they have to do every night plus extra weekend homework and studying it's no wonder the education system is failing, kids are doing as much as 60+ hours weeks just at school, they are burned out.

I believe that most kids could be homeschooled for about 3 hours per day maybe 6 days per week and through the summer leaving their time flexible to do other things such as learn music, play sports, go to the gym, go to church volunteer, go swiming, help with household chores, go to museums and not be so worn out all the time. I myself was able to finish school when I was 16 with GCSEs and A Levels and a b- tech. I had a completely better quality of life than the drudergy of high school and peer pressure & toxic bullying environment. No nonsense gender studies and forced discussions on pronouns.

The potatoes are one of the tastiest ingredients in the soup but they are not necessary for the flavour. The flavour is determined by the carrots.

Halloween is a time for creativity and self-expression, but every year, there's a recurring debate about "provocative" or "revealing" costumes and the criticism that often surrounds them. Whether it's a "flirty nurse," "bold witch," or any other themed costume that plays into traditional or exaggerated ideas of femininity and attraction, many people feel uncomfortable with these types of outfits. Critics argue that these costumes can be overly sexualized and reinforce unrealistic standards of beauty and gender roles. 💄

However, others defend the right to dress how they feel, especially since Halloween is often seen as an opportunity to step outside societal norms and embrace fun, fantasy, and empowerment. Some argue that wearing a "bold" or "empowering" costume can be a form of self-expression and confidence—a choice to celebrate one's own identity and have fun without judgment. 🧙‍♀️✨

Ultimately, it’s important to remember that everyone has the right to choose their costume, and that respecting personal choices is key. If you're dressing up for Halloween, do it for yourself—whether it’s in a playful, daring, spooky, or whimsical outfit. And as for the critics? We can always have an open dialogue about the fine line between creativity and respect for one another. 🎭

What are your thoughts? Do you think Halloween costumes should be "daring," or do you prefer something more family-friendly or original? Let me know in the comments! 🕸️
