  • 100% agree.

    We still have a ways to go in… socially realizing / allowing men to actually express emotional pain… I literally instinctively wanted to just call it ‘weakness’, lol.

    We are still basically at ‘well if you are a man and you aren’t basically always a tough guy, well then you must be either gay or totally mentally unstable or something’.

    That being said, of course there are exceptions to this, my experiences are proof of that, but yeah, its not the norm.




  • … I am a man and I have successfully done this more than once.

    Not like, out of the blue, first date hookup kind of thing. More like… we’ve at least been dating for a few weeks, more like months usually, kind of thing.

    Sometimes, it ends up with just comforting, no sexy time, just … more or less bonding time.

    But, sometimes, it does end up with sexy time.

    If your goal is relating to the other person, growing a relationship with them, not just sex with them… it doesn’t matter.

    Because your tomorrow will include that person.






  • Kind of yes, but actually no.

    We just see that debt now, its explicit.

    EA … was subject to a leveraged buy out, that they sought out. They did this… because they needed cash, now.

    What that means is that their internal financials were an absolute shit show… that they had, up untill that point, basically just legally lied about, hid, downplayed.

    They fluffed up their balances and returns and cashflows in ways that are legal to do, but if you actually do due dilligence, you could read the writing on the wall.

    Its basically the same as any other US company that got bought out / sold itself to private equity in the last 10 or 15 years.

    Difference is, EA is so huge, it had to be bought out by essentially a sovereign wealth fund.
