Quora answer to ‘Why are some women so sadistically cruel with their rejections? Do they not realize that it’s very difficult for a lot of guys to approach women as it is?’ – Quora

gojira-and-gaming:

It’s sad that this question even need be asked, but my friend did a damn good job answering it…

Some women are cruel with their rejections because they’ve tried letting guys down easy, but over and over, and it didn’t work. Some guys will take even the slightest hint of kindness as an excuse to ignore a rejection. Your fellow men have trained them to understand that anything less than smacking you in the head with a clue-by-four won’t work

But it’s worse than that

In job interviews, I find that that the great candidates you want to hire are only on the market a very short time, but the terrible candidates are pretty much always on the market, because even when some desperate company hires them, they are back out interviewing before too long.

When you approach a stranger to ask her out, you are joining a pool of applicants that is overwhelmingly filled with men no sane woman should want. Many of them aren’t emotionally ready to date and would screw up an acceptance if they got it.

But it’s worse than that.

Saying “yes” is a big investment, and a woman is likely to get dozens of offers for each “yes” she has the energy for. That means even if you do everything right and happen to be her type, she will need to say “no” much more often than not.

But it’s worse than that.

Pretty much every man that asks the question wants to hear a “yes” and is going to be disappointed by that perfectly normal “no” no matter how polite. For some men, and by “some” I mean a lot more than will admit it, any version of the word “no” is going to hurt. When they get the perfectly polite, perfectly clear, perfectly gentle “no” it still hurts, and the emotional logic of the brain figures “She rejected me. It hurt. Therefore she hurt me.

”So maybe that “no” wasn’t really cruel.

But it’s worse than that.For some guys, not as many but still way the hell too many, that “she hurt me” thought comes with a desire to retaliate. The mini-dialog (“You wanna go out?” / “No.” / “Bitch!”) seems too stupid to really happen, but if you ever been in the sort of place where women get asked out (meaning anywhere with men), you’ve heard some variation of it.

But it’s worse than that.

For some guys, actually not all that many now, that petty need to strike back goes somewhere darker. Somewhere dangerous. Maybe it gets vented as some really ugly whining on the internet about “involuntary celibacy” — or maybe it turns violent. These repulsive losers may not be the most common, but they can do so much damage it doesn’t take many of them.

But it’s worse than that.

If you are asking this question, you have at least a couple of things in common with the darkest, most evil men above. And it isn’t easy for a woman you just met to tell the difference.

One strategy she might use is to make her rejection so harsh that there would be no good reason from him to return. That way if he does, she knows right away it is for a bad reason and can take steps to protect herself. It’s not a strategy I would advise, but it’s one I understand.

But it’s worse than that.

The guys who really need to read an answer like this aren’t going to, or worse yet are going to try to shoot it down with some “Not *all* men” distraction no matter how many times I said “some” above. So no matter how nice a guy you are, no matter how unfailingly politely you act, you are going to have to live in a world alongside douchebags and rapists where some of their shit will get on you.

But it’s worse than that.

So does she.

Holy hell I’ve never seen a justification for being needlessly cruel in rejecting someone but here we are.

It’s… really REALLY not that deep. Sometimes just like men women can be jerks. I mean are you forgetting that Nice Girls and Nice Lesbians are a thing just like Nice Guys? And that douchebags and rapists can be female as well? That gay men also have to face rapists and douchebags?

You really think that women can’t be entitled or creepy and only men can, so you can assume every man is entitled and treat them like shit even if they aren’t?

Get out with that noise, stop using victim hood as an excuse to be a jerk.

Stones Have Been Popping Out of People Who Ride Roller Coasters

1. Doctor finds anecdotal evidence that people are passing kidney stones after riding on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disney World

2. Doctor makes 3-D model of kidney, complete with stones and urine (his own), takes it on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad 60 times

3. “The stones passed 63.89 percent of the time while the kidneys were in the back of the car. When they were in the front, the passage rate was only 16.67 percent. That’s based on only 60 rides on a single coaster, and Wartinger guards his excitement in the journal article: ‘Preliminary study findings support the anecdotal evidence that a ride on a moderate-intensity roller coaster could benefit some patients with small kidney stones.’”

4. “Some rides are going to be more advantageous for some patients than other rides. So I wouldn’t say that the only ride that helps you pass stones is Big Thunder Mountain. That’s grossly inaccurate.”

5. “His advice for now: If you know you have a stone that’s smaller than five millimeters, riding a series of roller coasters could help you pass that stone before it gets to an obstructive size and either causes debilitating colic or requires a $10,000 procedure to try and break it up. And even once a stone is broken up using shock waves, tiny fragments and “dust” remain that need to be passed. The coaster could help with that, too.”

SCIENCE: IT WORKS

Update:

“In all, we used 174 kidney stones of varying shapes, sizes and weights to see if each model worked on the same ride and on two other roller coasters,” Wartinger said. “Big Thunder Mountain was the only one that worked. We tried Space Mountain and Aerosmith’s Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and both failed.”Wartinger went on to explain that these other rides are too fast and too violent with a G-force that pins the stone into the kidney and doesn’t allow it to pass.“The ideal coaster is rough and quick with some twists and turns, but no upside down or inverted movements,” he said.

I just love this because it’s HILARIOUS and yet also a perfect archetypal example of The Scientific Method:

1. Hypothesis

2. Experiment

3. Results

4. Discussion

5. Conclusions

6. GOTO 1 (the scientific method is iterative, don’t forget that part)

was this like… done in cooperation with disney management or did some random scientist go through bag check with a 3d printed kidney and a bottle of piss and start looking for big thunder mountain fastpasses

He asked first!

Of course, the researchers had to get permission from Disney World before bringing the model kidney onto the rides. “It was a little bit of luck,” Wartinger recalls. “We went to guest services, and we didn’t want them to wonder what was going on—two adult men riding the same ride again and again, carrying a backpack. We told them what our intent was, and it turned out that the manager that day was a guy who recently had a kidney stone. He called the ride manager and said, do whatever you can to help these guys, they’re trying to help people with kidney stones.”

So you’re telling me my dad could have got on a rollercoaster ride instead of gone to the hospital…?

I hate Radical Cram School with a passion.

If you don’t know, this woman, Kristina Wong, is making a kids series with SJW politics and is basically feeding little girls as young as 7 propaganda.

It’s an “unscripted web series” yet I think the fact that a young girl responded to the question of “why doesn’t hello kitty have a mouth” with “The people who created her didn’t want Asian girls to speak up about who they are” says other wise.

Hello Kitty doesn’t have a mouth to prevent her from voring us all

East Asians KNOW what real oppression looks like. They should know better than to buy into this SJ BS.

Send Ms. Wong to live with her extended family in China for a few months, she will change her tune.

She’d be fucking dead.

The question is who would kill her, the government or her extended family.

tbh people who attack communism for having “never worked” are really naive. for the same reason that people who criticism fascism for being “defeated” in wwii are. both ideologies were revolutionary in intent and threatened the prevailing order. the only reason they “failed” was because the entire world was against them. that they “failed” isn’t a mark against them but against the world that destroyed them. how could “successful examples” of either ideology be pointed to when both ideologies were snuffed out in the womb? despite the promise they showed they were never really given a proper chance.

Lol imagine actually believing this

“The whole world was against Communism”

“It was never given a proper chance!”

Communism was “tried” in all of those red counties, and some besides (like Venezuela), over the span of 100 years. Big countries, little countries, Western countries, Eastern countries, African countries, developed countries, undeveloped countries. Every single time it was never real Communism, it was “snuffed out in the womb.” That says that Communism is a stillborn ideology. After all of that time, in all of those different places, it never worked. Your ideology isn’t just a failure, it’s such a failure that it can’t even get started.

These fucking cunts seriously trying to turn the USSR into an underdog story like they didn’t fucking slaughter every single smaller nation they could get their filthy commie hands on

It doesn’t matter that Kylo’s entire lower side is burning to death, the fact is to him that he failed and wasn’t able to stand up, to reign in his ‘sentiments’ in time to defeat and capture Rey. This a is failure and not an understable human frailty. Everything is his fault. Its all a zero sum game for Snoke. Either Kylo wins or he is a loser and hence weak and there is no place for human frailty and weaknesses or “excuses”. It also comes back to how abuse victims like to take control of their situation by taking blame for things which aren’t their fault (which i discussed in my older musings) and Snoke’s tendency to validate that self confidence eroding mental litany keeps Kylo on the cycle of such toxic mentality about himself.

Kylo is walking talking pressure cooker. No wonder small failures pertaining to things which are important to him used to set him off to machinery destroying episodes of rage.

That is exactly why I dont like the Kylo liked that Rey kicked his ass jokes. They… are not really funny?

not to cause The Discourse but hook up culture is just so awful like that can’t be good for your soul or your image of yourself or your health or your safety it just can’t be

IT’S NOOOOOOOOT
and there are studies proving that already

If by hook up culture you mean premarital sex then no.

But if you mean “wham bam see you Mam” then YES very much yes.

and that’s why you don’t go around fixing people

and that’s why you don’t give up pieces of yourself to make someone else whole

We do this more than we think. Sometimes we reject those who have helped us the most. Other times, we help those who allow their egos to hide their humilities.
