Does this happen in real life?


He is a druggie who is fat, crude, jobless, and that beautiful woman wants him? I guess that happens in real life, right? She falls in love with him after irresponsibly banging her without a condom. When she said "do it already!", as he was talking the condom out of the wrapper. Does that ever happen in real life? Well, it probably does when the two parties involved are drunk. This movie had some funny parts in it. I liked it, but the ending sucked so bad!!!

He was a fat druggie with dangle balls !

sex with no rubber is quite common, yes.
dudes banging girls above their pay grade also quite common, yes.

I'll no doubt be accused of 'misogyny' for saying this, but in my experience, there are far more men dating 'beneath them' in the looks department than the other way around. Most of my male friends continue to work-out and eat sensibly; their wives, less so (some of whom are overweight/the higher end of the 'normal' BMI category).

Then again, perhaps I'm a closet homosexual, and am more attracted to men. 🤷‍♂️ Unfortunately, even gay men (heck, *especially* gay men) are demonised as 'misogynists' these days (e.g. Owen Jones).

I knew a girl in our dorm who was gorgeous and talented, and she got pregnant by a guy with a green card. He wasn't even hot. Go figure.

reply

"A guy with a green card"?!?!

How unbelievably cunt are you?

reply

Waaaa!

reply

How so? The dude was some common laborer who couldn't support her forget the baby. She could have almst any man but got knocked up by this loser. That was the question of this thread. Ben at least was cute and charming even if he was a stoner and loser. Women make all kinds of badd decisions when drunk so yes this does happen.

reply

What the fuck does anything you said have to do with him holding or not a green card?

Could he not support her nor the baby because he had a green card?
Was this guy not charming because he had a green card?

Do you see where this is going?

reply

Follow the thread. It asked if a hot successful woman could want to have sex with someone like Ben and the answer is yes and i provided an example of someone I knew who did worse. The green card dude wasn't even a citizen and disappeared. It happens. She would have been better off with someone like Ben. Would you be happier if I said she got knocked up by some guy who wasn't a US citizen and disappeared?

Sounds like you are the cunt

Only to illiterate pieces of shit like YOU, pal.

With your hands or a weapon?

reply

Yes. Hard for me to say as a guy but society has conditioned women to accept below their level in life. Better understood when the guy has money for whatever reason but that happens quite a bit.

reply

Men and women value different things. Women will accept a man below their level in looks, but not often in lifestyle. This is why men who have money are sought after regardless of how old or ugly they are, while women who have money complain that they have trouble finding a man, regardless of how beautiful they are. It's not that men aren't interested, it's because they've increased their worth in something they value, but it's not as important to men.

reply

I see what you are saying but there are women that lack self esteem to the point where they figure if they get an attractive guy that is a win for them. The guy may be unsuccessful financially but at least he looks good. Heck, I've seen attractive women date or marry a guy that amounts to being their drug or alcohol provider.

reply

What planet do you live in?

I am tall, work out 4/5 times a week, don't eat meat or dairy, am slim, no wrinkles or crows feet, still have most of my hair, smooth face (despite never having moisturised that regularly), and I've been told on various occasions that I'm 'good-looking' particularly by women, but I'm constantly thinking that I'd be turned down if I asked even an averagely attractive woman out, let alone an '8' or '9'.

Seriously, society has conditioned men to do the exact opposite of what you're saying, but because one is accused of 'misogyny' for saying so, we don't hear such things in the MSM. *sigh*

But honestly, I'd like to hear your answer, because, frankly, I'm baffled.

UNLESS, you're saying that attractive women are rejecting/ignoring genuinely good-looking/handsome men, in favour of schlubs, in which case, I'd say, perhaps you have a point (I see some attractive women make some baffling choices; then again, this is the problem - women favour 'stability' over attractiveness, not that Rogen's character in this was remotely 'stable'). But where does that leave the genuinely good-looking/handsome men? Single, or having to date below *their* level, perhaps? 🤷‍♂️

The other theory is that women choose losers like Rogen because they know he'll be grateful and won't stray. It's sad, because many decent-looking-guys won't stray. I was once told by a woman "You look like the type of c**t who will treat women mean," which is ironic, because I'm an ultra-feminist who treats ALL people, especially WOMEN, with 100% respect and dignity. But just cos I 'looked like a c**t' in contrast to a schlub like Rogen, I guess I was ruled out of consideration.

Such is the burden for men who aren't fat, shortish, ugly, scrunchy-haired, belching schlubs with bad skin. *sigh*

Honestly, to use an old term I would have to walk some miles in your shoes to know the lay of your land. Might be something tangible as not liking you because of your family. Might be something far less tangible as some women equate being nice with being weak (financially). Take a deep breath and know as long as you are trying to be a good human being that is perhaps the most important thing that you can do. Women are not guaranteed to be nice just because of their gender. Who the heck knows what is going on with the woman that made the c**t statement. Does not mean that she is full of virtue. A Seinfeld type observation that I will make is that there a plenty of attractive women out there versus men so some good looking women filter down to not so good looking guys. Now this is if a guy is not holding women to impossible standards of attractiveness. Not filtering by ethnic background or bra size. I pursued a woman based on common interest while in high school which fired up the gossip mill. OK looking by most standards but had flaws. I don't know how old you are but it usually gets better as we age. I was not successful in high school with girls but women mature in short order or at least the ones worth pursuing. The best dating I had while at school was towards the end at an elite college. The women there got their fill of jerks and got it out of their system that good looking does not make for a better mate. I had women that I never thought obtainable just a few years prior asking me out. Then there is the other side of it that there is emotional growing to do that sometimes a good opportunity is lost due to perceived issues. Dating can be very complicated.

reply

I don't ask anyone out because I don't regard myself as a 'catch'. But I look at some other guys, and at the risk of sounding like an arrogant prick, I think, these women could do better, and without being a '10', they could probably do better with me (not that I'm entitled to their affections). I treat people with respect, I wouldn't cheat, I'm cultured, I try to engage with other people's interests, I'm fairly attentive, I have wide tastes, I'm reasonably slim and reasonably tall, I still work out, I don't eat meat or dairy, I don't smoke, I barely drink, I certainly don't partake in drugs, I don't have a criminal record, I'm generally kind (i.e. I do A LOT of regular voluntary work etc). Unfortunately, because of my anxiety, and despite my qualifications (Law degree from a good college, post-grad professional legal qualification etc), I am poor, due to my anxieties, and so, like I say, I don't regard myself as a 'catch'.

Sometimes it takes a LONG time to work through the dating process. Looking back I can see in myself that things I had "figured out" at 18 years of age were anything but being realistic. And I blew opportunity after opportunity because of it. It's just a part of being human and we all unfortunately have to go through the process. An example for me is a girl may have appeared rude and therefore on the surface not liking me. But when I think back concerning one particular girl she was annoyed that I was not right there without an invitation. It was harder than that because from what I saw I had little in common with her and we were different in a lot of respects. But years afterward it got back to me time and again she inquired about me. Another thing that was hard to learn is once a girl gives one signal that may be it. No further window of opportunity. And that went against my nature of being a ponderer and thinker. That not giving an affirmative response right away might be considered rejection.

reply

Some of the best looking guys arent really that good looking but they have so much charisma and confiddence women flock to them. You could probably do "better'' than you think.

reply

I have ZERO confidence, but I can fake-it/forget my anxieties in most public situations. My charisma is so-so.

reply

It happens in a Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen movie.

reply

Pretty much.

reply

I was pretty much a counterpart to his character when I was younger. I frequently fucked girls that were seemingly above of my league, although I fucked plenty below it too. I've always had a way of charming women, it wasn't until they got to know me that they realized I was an asshole.

reply

It could happen
