  • Are you asserting that nobody should ever have any preferences? Do you meet your own standard?

    OP didn’t say he’s throwing women out of bed for having piercings. He expressed a preference for them not to.

    I prefer dark hair. Sometimes it’s red or blonde or blue.

    I prefer pubic hair. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not.

    I prefer a few extra pounds. Sometimes those pounds aren’t there. Sometimes a few extra is more like a lot extra.

    In no example above did I shut down the interaction, nor did I experience any less pleasure.

    But I still have preferences. That’s all they are though.




  • Product - use daily

    Language - speak English, Spanish, and Korean, though the latter two are admittedly falling off from lack of use. Lived overseas for four years in my twenties

    Collared shirts - wear daily, but I’d guess that’s not goth chick bait

    Dancing - was religiously prohibited from such growing up and never took an interest in it

    Personal skill - I can cook like a motherfucker. Like really good stuff. If I believed in love languages, mine would be feeding others. The women in my office make weekly requests for me to cook whatever they’re craving over the weekend and bring it in on Monday.

    But I’m talking about energy. Gomez spends his entire existence striving toward being Morticia’s everything. I don’t have enough gas in the tank after seventy or eighty hours of getting yelled at for my income.

    Next up, since everything is so easy, I guess I just simply waltz into another job, right?



  • Gomez lives off generational wealth and thus spends his time culturing himself with dance, art, and seductive languages.

    I work until it’s not safe to drive home because I’m so tired and my eyes don’t work. I crawl home on surface streets, collapse into bed for a brief nap, and get up to go do it again because the man needs his dollar.

    My spirit may be willing, but my flesh is spongy and bruised.

    Most of the math I do at work is related to compound interest. Of all the math I believe the general public should understand, the concept of how paying interest to others is a total screw would get my top vote.

    I have a co-worker who took out a car loan last week at, wait for it, FIFTY THREE PERCENT INTEREST! No concept of what that was costing her. She could only see, “I can afford the monthly payment.”

    (1 + r)^n and its friend 1/(1 + r)^n have been the two most important concepts in work and personal life that I’ve ever learned and applied.
