--- Quote from: Potato Farmer on 17 Dec 2020, 14:14 ---On the cuckolding thing, I always interpreted it on two levels.
As a fetish I relate it to voyeurism and exhibitionism, and a sign of trust if both sides are comfortable with it.
Outside of the fetish thing it's the exact opposite since it's essentially cheating on someone and then rubbing it in their face. Which I wouldn't connect to gender roles because being cheated on is massive ass, cheating on someone is being a massive dickwad, and watching it happen is just insult to injury.

There's usually a racist component as well; I'm given to understand that most "cuck porn" videos involve a white guy watching his white wife get banged by a black man.

Oh, right, that's also a thing. If my guide to porn is up to date that black man also is tall and muscled so I guess the suggestion is that women are easily swayed by a hot body?
BlueFatima:
Okay... I am going to add another stop to my future post-COVID epic road trip. I love little college towns!
Gyrre:
To snubnose: Acting/thinking like an adolescent makes sense when one's an adolescent. They're still learning. A 20-something or 30-something should have matured past those stages and mindsets. [Barring certain developmental disorders that delay the timeframe].
To ihaveavoice: My apologies for my portion of our miscommunication. I by no means intended to defend any such behavior.
As for why so many of us misinterpreted your response (again sorry), I'm honestly not sure why your response came off as you not believing such sordid sorts existed. If I had to guess for myself, it may be a combination of other internet arguments I've come across (videos, comments, and forums) combined with the voicing and word choice? IDK.

--- Quote from: Case on 17 Dec 2020, 08:53 ---P:S: If it were true that beauty, not gender, was the deciding factor that the veracity of your claim is desperately clinging to - then why restrict the claim to women in the first place? :psyduck:
--- End quote ---
Just checking - you need really explained why a beautiful woman benefits a lot more from her looks than a handsome man ? Just because I'm really surprised somebody needs that explained. Its like, super obvious in everyday life.
Thats because men, on average, care a lot about visuals, and thus care a lot about how beautiful a woman is. While women are more into other senses, namely touch and smell, and care more about factors like the wealth of a man. I've even met women who claim they dont care about how people look at all, though I have no way of testing if thats actually true.
--- Quote from: Gyrre on 17 Dec 2020, 15:46 ---Vile, yes. But I have actually met them.
They're misogynistic turds who usually still have the maturity of a 13 to 16 year-old, despite being well into their 20s, 30s, or 40s.
--- End quote ---
Err ... thats usually the people who have been like that between 13 and 16.
Because as a former 13 to 16 year old, I'm quite insulted that you sugggest I, and many others, would ever have been like that.
Sure, the sex drive is very strong at that age, and sure, one lacks experience with the opposite gender. That doesnt mean one doesnt want romance though. Or isnt into knightly ideals of honor.
--- Quote from: ihaveavoice on 18 Dec 2020, 00:03 ---How did multiple people think I was saying I don't think that's real?? [...]
--- End quote ---
So are smockers, unfortunately.
I'm a man and thus not potential prey for the people you describe. But theres surely a lot of people who think its okay to make me a passive smoker. I have very sensible lungs, cigarette smoke litereally hurts them, so I'm pretty angry at smockers.
So yeah, I didnt suggested you said it wasnt real.

What do you mean by “benefits”? Being able to have more selection of cute gender-typed clothes? Maybe. But if we go into history and the privileges women have today (at least in the US), there is loads of 411 we can attain on how a beautiful woman doesn’t have the same benefits as a beautiful man or even a less pretty one. I’m afraid we are still working on that glass ceiling, and nearly half the US wants us to take a trip backwards. As a woman and a mother it scares the crap out of me. I can also tell you from personal experience that pretty men do not get regularly objectified like women. Being pretty can actually make it worse, but all women deal with it. It sucks shit.
But yes. Let’s talk about being lucky enough to be a privileged pretty woman. I will attest that being attractive has advantages (thinks of all the time she got out of traffic tickets...though that may be due to consistently looking like a 13 year old, too), but lots of things do. While we humans are still linked to our lizard brains, most of us are more complex...sometimes to a fault. It is best not to make assumptions if others based on their looks—even if they are fortunate enough to be considered conventionally attractive by a large number of the population.
