    Typically if you go looking for a partner with a checklist you’ll be disappointed. Nobody wants to be graded like a piece of pork.

        Yeah, but we’re discussing relationships not kink, you can be into some pretty hardcore stuff and still be hurt emotionally by being treated poorly by a partner

        We don’t have standartization for dick sizes, but we do have it for boob sizes

          We don’t snugly clothe dicks to the degree we do tits. Bras has to fit fairly snug to function correctly and that requires some level of precision. About the only thing that is snugly worn on the penis are condoms, which are very elastic.

          I can think of one standard for dick size, and it’s from NASA. Apollo astronauts wore external catheters for much of the mission, that is, a condom with a hose at the end for collecting urine. These came in three sizes but none of the astronauts would accept “small” or even “medium” so they were sized Large, Giant and Humongous.

          Beyond that, like most male body parts, it is simply measured in inches.

            This reminds me of how when I go shopping for eggs in the supermarket, they are sold in sizes of Large, X-Large, and Jumbo. Nobody wants to face the humiliation of buying a carton of small eggs.

              It is my understanding that eggs graded as small or medium are usually sold to food factories. Think about an outfit like Jimmy Dean, how many tons of scrambled eggs do they make to a batch for all those frozen microwavable sausage and egg biscuits? Who cares how many individual eggs they have to crack?

            Bras has to fit fairly snug to function correctly and that requires some level of precision.

            Eh, it can be argued that the “function” of a bra is to allow women to adhere to the beauty standards set for them by men.

            That being said, they still aren’t made that precisely, cup sizes are kinda all over the place depending on brand, and even the band sizes (which are kinda sorta close to the actual inch measurement of your ribcage, but not quite) are variable. That’s why bras have adjustable straps everywhere, and why if you haven’t been professionally fitted for one, your bras probably don’t fit you right.

      Seen a lot of men like this with the “ideals” except they have a good job and think it’s a crowning achievement. They also often want their wives to have good jobs and to have separate accounts and expenses? So they want a perfect, pretty, petite wife who’s smart, has a great job, but also cooks, cleans, takes care of the house, and their children. What do they bring to the table? Not the looks, money or house help. Their ✨shining personality ✨? Don’t worry ladies this alpha nice guy’s on the market & just around the corner, lucky you!

      this, but somehow a buch of them manage to rope someone way higher tier into dating them. I worked a few years at a place that employed a lot of women escaping abusive relationships. the boss was basically everyone’s mom. All top tier beauties but somehow got only the skeeziest and lazy men.

        I’m not saying it’s all of them, but if you talk to some of these women they have this weird idea about masculinity, it’s all dressed up but when you strip it all back it’s all toxic.

        Stuff about how it’s unmanly to have a pet cat, and how they should drive a big expensive car, and should pay for everything. I have no idea where they get this stuff from but if that’s how they think, then they are only going to get a scumbag man because they’re the only met that actually conform to that view of masculinity.

      I think the Venn diagram of guys who want a big tiddy girlfriend with a tiny waist who plays video games and is caring towards them overlaps not only with overweight and jobless but also fit and employed and everything in between. What you’re referring to “don’t make a single effort at anything and are convinced women [owe] him to be perfect” is borderline abusive. You are insulting other overweight and jobless folk with your generalization.

      Yes everyone knows that in order to have a functional society you need to wear a yellow fluorescent jacket and set fire to a few cars every time you’re moderately unhappy about something.

    I blame the fact that every guy around their mid 20s has a big-thigh male friend with a small waist that watches anime and plays videogames but still has enough time to introduce a random niche hobby like archery every other week that can be both your cool uncle and a therapist.

    How do they do that? Nobody knows.

    Meanwhile every other friend and family member seemingly flips a coin to decide if they wanna fall into the racist pipeline every 2-4 years in US depending on how south you live.

    Which is totally nothing like women wanting a man that’s 6ft+ tall and makes at least high 6 figures a year minimum and already owns an expensive car and a very nice house…

    It’s odd don’t you think, that in the end most of us can find someone that makes us happy with no care about specific physical traits or money. It appears that only the truly damage humans can’t wake up from that pipe dream.

We all just wanna meet good people, romantic and other wise, while having a crippling fear that we arent good enough for to deserve it. And shit like this, just fuels it.

                No such thing as reverse racism. There is only racism. Let me guess, you think you cant be racist towards white people, right? Thats where you wanted to take this little detour, right? Here, let me make it easy for you. Yes, I believe that hating anyone because of the colour of their skin is wrong. Regardless of who is the victim of it. If you say “Sally is a lesser human being than Tommy because shes got (insert skin colour of your choice)”, then you are a racist. No ifs, no ands, no buts. Youre trash.

                So go on, tell all the folks at home how OK you are with racism, as long as its towards the right fucking people… Or, are you one of those really simple fuckers who thinks racism and systemic racism is the same thing? lol.
