Imposter syndrome. Try to ignore it; don't feed it. She thinks you're smarter than her and won't like her when you finally figure it out. It could be anything from a slight, negligible concern of hers to a raging, universally-sabotaging insecurity. She's either secure enough to be open about her...

Thanks for the reply that actually helps. She definitely doesn't need validation. I like smart, confident women. If she was insecure I wouldn't be interested. I'll take it as a plus, all things considered.

I just asked someone else this question... Are you familiar with the duality of utopia?

jayneonacobb replies on Feb 13, 2018:

@Whathappensnow utopia originally, and still does mean, nothingness or nowhere. A utopian society is impossible because it is nowhere, and nowhere is an unachievable location. The book that caused the discrepancy is none other than the book, Utopia. It is a satirical commentary that was mistaken for a depection of an ideal society. So my answer has to be nowhere. It does have further implications though, like the one you mentioned.

@Rugglesby the math fits for the wave lengths to have been produced by the big bang. There are many reasons why galaxies crash into eachother. External gravitational forces pull them together, for example. We keep changing things because we can measure them more accurately with new technology. We were able to detect gravitational waves more than once. I think startalk radio talked about that in 2017. There's tons of evidence for the big bang and why the universe moves the way that it does. Especially after the discovery of the higs boson. Listen to startalk if you don't already. Neil Degrasse Tyson is the man.

@btroje I get what your saying, but I just don't believe that interpretation of the evidence. I also meant to say that more men are abused than people realized. I apologize for that oversight. I'm not discounting anyone here, I'm just saying that rape culture isn't a thing in the west (aside from Muslims). I don't feel pressured by western pop culture to rape people. If anything this "rape culture" exists as a culture of accusations and obsessions with the victimhood of rape. By all means, if you've been abused report it, please do. I support that. I don't support people who are tired of getting hit on equating their "struggle" with that of a pregnant 11 year old rape victim. Or using it as a platform for revenge from regret. Not do I appreciate being marginalized by those same people. That's why I don't like the narrative of metoo. Yes my experience matters. It is reliable data of the most intimate type. I like the idea of metoo, speak up and stop the injustice. I don't like what it's being used for by some people.

Did you know that every day I go to work I have to deal with unwanted comments? How about all the women who approach me that I have no interest in. What about all those women I approach that call me a potential rapist because I am a man? Or the ones who reject me viciously just for fun?

Sarcasm was auto corrected from satire. Let's take a look at the op, but if it were about Obama. "More shit from the black guy in the WH" that is a racist statement, so why is it not when you mention trumps skin color? Are you sure it's actually a spray tan? Even if it is a spray tan it's still a racist comment because you're making fun of how a product looks on his skin. If I said Obama looked less ashy now that he uses lotion, it would be a racist comment. That's the problem here. Get off your elitist high horse.

What's disconcerting is that most of his faithful followers will take him at his word. Even if Trump is aware of his own BS, he's confident his fans won't do a fact check.

jayneonacobb replies on Feb 12, 2018:

I agree that his followers are not very intelligent. I don't like him either, but I don't name call. I didn't call Obama names, even though I don't like him much either. I think acting like Trump and stooping to his level isn't the proper, or mature response.

Yes, our minds absorb details that we are not aware of like our spam email. When a threat is detected our conscious mind is alerted and being watched is definitely considered a threat.

MeToo What do you consider sexual harassment?

koshkamat comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Well, the sexual harassment thing is a power dynamic - all of these men could EASILY get laid if sex were the goal. The goal is to humiliate the (usually a) woman. And in the social realm, just plain old being a pig is still perfectly legal. And as for these people who whine they don't know what ...

Attack his policies if you actually care about this country. I supported the few good things Obama did, didn't whine about the bad, and I hated his administration. Don't get me wrong, I'll destroy anyone who supports the ACA in a debate, but I'm attacking the legislation, not the man.

I've seen a lot of posts about white privilege and misandrist feminism. I've also been dismissed and insulted by many members here because they think I'm white, I'm a mix. I'm a male and I'm politically conservative. Look at almost any of my activity for copious examples. Funny thing is, I'm not white, I believe in actual equality and I don't insult people just because I disagree with them. Recent examples, wonder woman and trump threads from earlier.

@HippieChick58 I'm talking about modern liberalism. Have you seen a college campus lately, or Anti-fa? That's fascism. Control over everything and dissention from the majority results in punishment. Colleges have had people in recent years "fight racism" by blocking white students from attending the classes that they paid for. That is fascism. Blocking speakers from speaking is fascism. Attacking people because the disagree with you, that is fascism. Forcing people to pay for charity is fascism. Demanding a basic income is fascism. There is a common thread to these behaviors. That thread is an overwhelming support from the left to engage in these activities.

Although I'm starting to see that there are fewer people here interested in civil discourse than I would prefer to believe.

Well, then you must be familiar with the old saying, "If you're not a liberal in your twenties you have no heart. If you're not a conservative in your forties you have no brain." Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. You have a lack of knowledge of what conservatism is. No, it's not uncivil, you just decided to get upset about it. It's not an accusation now anyway because you have shown that you do not understand the fundamental difference between an ideology and a hypothesis. You are the one slinging insults. You are the one getting mad. You shouldn't post insulting opinions like that and then get upset when someone calls you out on it. Your elitism is showing.
