  • I’m just talking about my own experience. I also enjoy cannabis, almost exclusively via edibles, and consume it most days, but I also find it pretty effortless to take breaks, even significant months-long ones.

    I think I just don’t have an “addictive personality” or whatever. I enjoy a good vice, but I’ve never experienced dependency. Even drinking enough to get “drunk”, or drinking multiple days in a row feels bad to me, even if I do like an occasional buzz.

    Junk food is nasty to me. I eat it like twice a year and always regret it. Never done opiates, but I do understand that they’re a whole lot more addictive than other drugs, so I don’t think that even if I did understand what that felt like that it would inform me much about nicotine addiction. Given that opiates are downers and nicotine is an upper, I don’t know that they are really comparable.


  • I actually enjoy a good cigarette, but I still don’t understand how folks get addicted. Smoking more than one in a single day always makes me feel like shit. Even just one cigarette and I feel like I need to take a shower. I smoke a cigarette now and then for fun, and couldn’t imagine doing more.

    I smoke like a pack a year. I keep it in a Ziploc bag in the fridge to keep them fresh. Been doing this for about 19 years…



  • I think the real issues here are:

    1. Making obesity your top concern just shows that the most important thing to you is a woman’s looks. That’s a red flag that other things aren’t as important.
    2. Making single moms a dealbreaker is somewhat derogatory. If you don’t want kids, make that your requirement, but a lot of men out there are really saying “I don’t want to raise another man’s kid”, which is another red flag of toxic masculinity.
    3. The “not on dating apps” requirement does seem to stem from the paranoia that women on dating apps are sluts (another toxic red flag), but that’s some self-hate right there. Pretty much every single woman is using dating apps because that’s how people date these days. If Tinder is a dealbreaker, you’re gonna die alone.

    So basically, if you’re a woman, and you hear a guy list these requirements, what you really hear is:

    1. Hot girls only, my sexual satisfaction is of the highest priority.
    2. I need to pretend you are a virgin, so I want to see no evidence that you existed as a sexual person before dating me, otherwise my ego will collapse.
    3. I hate women and think they’re sluts, so you better not have any qualities that I arbitrarily associate with promiscuity. See also: #2 about how I need to feel like I’m fucking a virgin. Also #1 where she better be hot.

    Honestly, I would judge any woman that dated a man this trashy.
