I know some women will not want to reply to this, but I know me and a lot of men will honestly want to know the answer to this.
​Is this statement correct: 'Women love to feel the strength of a man she feels safe around and fully trusts.'
​After reflecting on things, I realized I am honestly a bit confused about how much assertiveness women actually prefer behind closed doors. I know everyone is different, but when it comes to that connection, do women generally lean towards a high-intensity, take-charge energy or slow, gentle romance?
​From my experience in one-off encounters, women prefer the first option. However, when in a relationship, this isn't really the case, and slow and passionate is preferred (according to my last relationship anyway).
​In my head, a person will go purely for excitement and what feels best in a one-off encounter, as there are no repercussions and you most likely won't see that person again. Therefore, you go purely for the most thrilling dynamic for you. Is there a shame/shyness that comes later in relationships? Do women actually prefer that bolder, more intense energy?
​Is this correct? And if so, why?
​I've added a poll below, but if you're comfortable please add a comment.

I mean, you don’t have to be super religious, but I find it very dark for a person to be so confident that we don’t have a soul and that there’s nothing but this. At least if you’re agnostic, you’re not sure. I think it really bothers me.

Like working on tankers that need to get through the straight of hormuz right now, when Iran says it is shut down (e. g. they will attack ships not Russian/Chinese).

Insurance rates are way up and thus workers could potentiallly make a lot of money in a single day... if they survive.

Let us assume that all patients in the hospital need to be there for one reason or another.

How do you do it? Cause sorry fam, i can’t!

Would you fight for others right for freedom?

Iran has been authoritarian for 40 years, the link below documents some of how strict and brutul they have been. I's all men by the way... oppressing women. If want to summarize what this war ends up doing... it frees women. Some men cannot handle that because of their religious viewpoints. The root issue being... security/insecurity.

Example below... blinding protestors. That is unheard of in the west, but practice in Iran... if not worse.. actually executing people.

... So this is why Iran cheers when their leaders are taken out. They have tried to fight to no avail. Would you fight to support others freedom?

PS this post is not about the complexity of the war... nuclear weapons, Israel, or other complexities of the issue. It's about freedom, and what it might take to establish such freedoms in an oppressive part of the world. That's right... might take your boots on the ground, your $ into the govts pocket, your support, etc..

There may be a lot of consternation about the war initiated by USA against Iran recently... how it was done, why it was done, is it legal, and lastly... the many lives now paying the price for the decision.

I just found on wikipedia that the cost of a Mark 48 torpedo was 5.39 million dollars back in 2022!

How does it come up to cost that much!!! It is not made of gold. For sure it has sophisticated electronics, but still I don't see how it should cost that much. It is all a scam. Everybody charges 10 times more to rip the public from funds when it is something for the military or stuff like that.

It is very telling on what goes on in the USA. The USA should not criticize other countries for being corrupt because it is corrupt as they are if not more.

For forcing Israel and US to expend a lot on munitions and for the damage caused by their missiles and drones?

They have a lot of oil, so it seems fair.

In the longer term should Persian people get oil revenues paid into their bank accounts instead of going to their gov't which is obviously untrustworthy. That seems a very easy & welcome regime change to me that they would all go for.

Australian Aborigines get royalty checks from miners and they love it. So pretty sure Persians will too.

My Questions are being checked before I can post them. Just noticed this the last two days.

Yep , I guess the economy was booming so much they couldn't handle all the money and decided to close all their stores. MAGA Trump worshipers say economy has never been better , Are MAGA too drunk or just on drugs?

Look for :

Major Layoffs

$8 a gallon gas

Highest prices ever on Groceries

Inflation with even the numbers are Gov't gives of 15%

Record suicides

Record Crime
