@FrancisK should women delay marriage?
No they should not, where is that question even coming from?

This is because Poland doesn’t allow darkskins to affect their numbers.
Also young Polish women are very westernised now.

It would be nice if you responded to the other post I made in response to you which was in response of me.
Can you quote the post you are referring to and I will respond.
An argument could be made that some of the anecdotes that it is my time has about his life might be difficult to believe and strain credulity a little so I see where Samseau was coming from but I agree especially as a moderator Samseau could have given his opinion in a less offensive manner.
Well, i guess he won that round.
Yes and no, but mostly no! I have posted on this earlier, and if the total fertility rate (TFR) is say 1.5 and you have a significant non-western pop, it brings the native rate down by about 0.1-0-2. (currently) There's little difference between western-Euro nations here, so Poland is in fact lower. The non-white FR is usually around 2.0-2.2, while the native is around 1.4 on average for western Europe.
Let's say I was lying about everything, and I assure you I am not, but I don't care to impress anyone here, but let's just say that I was...
Does that make my advice about living a stoic any less true? Living a stoic life will get you away from pleasure, pleasure being sin at the end of the day, and yes we all sin, but finding a way to avoid the pitfalls of sin is a great way to live.
Psalm 127:3. "Children are a gift from the Lord. They are a reward from Him."
1 John 2:15. "Do not love the world, or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them".
You do not know fear or love until you have children, that I can tell you. Nor do you need millions, as I can attest. Yes, without children I would have a nicer car and maybe have more holidays, but so what? I do not care for these empty things. Becoming a father immediately taught me forgiveness, and healed an open wound from my childhood. Thank you, Lord. I will be taking my children to church in the morning, so that I can plant the seeds that will lead them into relationship with Christ, and the sower and the reaper can rejoice together.
Stop loving the world, stop fearing the world, and make babies before it's too late. Reminds me of the scene in Collateral, where Tom Cruise's character chews out Denzel's character for not just starting his limo business early instead of staying a taxi driver forever and making excuses. Pro tip: there is never a 'right time' to have children, as you will always need to sacrifice for them. However, the things that you sacrifice for them are worth far less than what you gain, so again, thank you, Lord.

Maybe he meant 20 year olds, but even still, ~30 year difference is still legendary Little Dark territory.

Maybe he meant 20 year olds, but even still, ~30 year difference is still legendary Little Dark territory.
Imagining 20 x 20-year-olds hitting on him is even funnier.
In fact, we don't have to imagine anymore.
I've got my hands on CCTV footage of the man of our time desperately holding onto his stoicism at the local Whole Foods store, while 20 extremely hot yet financially destitute women attempt a non-consentual hug close:
I'm going to answer this question sincerely because I have seen some good contributions from you. In particular I appreciate your boots-on-the-ground stories from Asia and your willingness to counter the manufactured one-sided narrative that plagues the China thread.
The last few pages have explained the context behind my post, drawing upon the guy's posting history to reveal a string of inconsistent and extreme claims. I'll elaborate on this for anyone unfamiliar with this history that extends back to RVF.
First, women lack courage, are extremely sensitive to rejection, and are prone to anxiety about reputational damage. Moreover, they are now accustomed to getting inundated with attention from men online. Accordingly, women only initiate direct sexualised advances under a very limited range of circumstances.
Except on very rare occasions, women do not approach men in public places in daylight to signal sexual intent. In fact, women have become so passive and reliant on digital attention that they get frustrated by merely having to use the wave emoji
Details here:
That is hilarious
Here's the (paraphrased) press release from the bumble CEO:
Here at bumble, we created a platform to empower women.
We are strong, independent, and feirce!
Also, Bumble recognises women's unique pain.
We know that typing the two letters of "h" and "i", hitting the copy button, and THEN pasting it into *literally* a million chats is a dreadful burden that understandably makes women want to give up dating altogether...
Note that "hitting on" is an active form of showing sexual intent. It does NOT mean passive, ambiguous signs like sustained eye contact. Sure, women tend to give off signals of passive, indirect, and tentative interest without making it obvious. Some of this occurs at the unconscious level. Nonetheless, the majority of men misinterpret social courtesy, friendliness, and especially manipulative flirting as real signs of sexual attraction.

Sexual overperception bias is the tendency for males to mistakenly perceive interest more often than mistakenly not perceiving interest.

Second, with the above in mind, here is one claim of IIMT that defies believability:
The poster claims to meet women in everyday social/work settings, not through environments like clubs and bars where women are likely to be drunk, ovulating, and otherwise uninhibited. The claim that multiple groups of women are actively hitting on him regularly in everyday environments can only mean that:
(a) he is consciously lying
, or(b) he is suffering from genuine delusion and has lost touch with reality
, or(c) the most effortlessly-attractive man on earth posts amongst us
Now, he can attempt to dismiss these arguments by twisting the meaning of these words, say that "actually what I meant was something else", or claim that he doesn't care what others think, etc. All of these tactics are deflections, reflect avoidance of responsibility, and offer further confirmation that his words cannot be taken seriously. My advice to IIMT is to stick to geo-political and societal-level topics.
Third, I have close friends who are committed to remaining unmarried and/or childless. This is a personal decision that I will not and cannot judge others for. In this world of digital survival and escape, I understand the allure of the lone wolf "I don't need anyone" lifestyle. Yet living like a financially rich, yet socially isolated and deeply bitter man who prioritises daily comforts and holds onto all his riches for himself is not a great role model to aspire to.
Notice how many of their arguments rely on mental catastrophising about future possibilities like divorce, societal collapse, WW3 etc. This indicates that their choices and lifestyle are fundamentally driven by avoidance-based motivation - anxiety, fear, etc. Yet to achieve our greatest potential in life, we need to make our positive goals and hopeful visions stronger than those worries and fears.
Younger members may be influenced by a few older members who flood the forum with ideas that, if actioned, delay self-improvement and purposeful dating as the means to potentially start a family one day. Half-truths like this can be quite compelling, especially for an anxious young man:
It is certainly possible to start a family in your 40s, have a younger wife in her twenties, maintain your health and vitality into your middle age etc. Nobody needs to sell me on these possibilities, because I've made them a reality. However, there are numerous risks, missed opportunities, and significant costs that come with the quoted approach. Further explanation here:
Last, I'm not here to insult anyone because they're not able or successful in a particular area. That's unnecessarily demeaning and doesn’t help anyone. I truly wish that every forum member can achieve their positive vision for their life. Similarly, I've explained elsewhere why overly-negative responses are best minimised in order to maintain a sense of charity and good faith posting:
That said, some repeated positions are so ridiculous that turning the situation into a joke is the only way to keep myself engaged here. Once it's clear that a member is not posting in good faith; is misrepresenting things; is proposing ludicrous ideals; and/or has not respected the numerous attempts by other members to consider alternatives to their resentful attitudes or unrealistic ideals... then I think they're fair game for satirical mocking. In any case, most of my posts are meant to be light-hearted. I'm here for a good time not a long time
I trust this clarifies my thoughts.
Now I'll leave the readers with a beautiful post to meditate on:
