My understanding of modern dating is that no one is attractive enough for anyone, doing literally anything is an ick, and the entire species is out of its own league.
Bro, I'm not even hating, but when a woman who looks like HER chooses a guy like HIM, I genuinely start questioning what women actually find attractive. 😭💀

Dünyanın en zor işlerinden biri, alelâde biri olduğunu kabullenmektir. İnsan, kendisini istisna sanmaya meyillidir. Gerçek olgunluk, sıradanlığını kabulle başlar.

You have to move through life knowing you are somebody extraordinary, while also remembering that you are a nobody who knows nothing. The highest levels of consciousness can hold both truths simultaneously.

you can stop harry kane, but if you don't let suarez get his way, he gon bite yo ass.
Unpopular opinion: Harry Kane is a more complete individual player than Suárez, Lewandowski, Benzema, Agüero, Ibrahimović and Rooney.
Benzema had a legendary Ballon d’Or season, but Kane’s consistency, goalscoring and playmaking make his individual career arguably greater.
Strip away the trophies and judge them purely as players. Kane’s all-round game and sustained excellence put him above Benzema for me.

“Beautiful tragedy,” I mused. She asked, “How could tragedy ever be beautiful?” And for a moment, I wandered through my thoughts, waxed poetic, philosophised, then replied, “Idk, I suppose I see beauty in everything.”

1. renounce useless guilt.
2. don’t make a cult of suffering.
3. live in the now (or at least the soon).
4. always do the things you fear the most; courage is an acquired taste, like caviar.
5. trust all joy.
6. if the evil eye fixes you in its gaze, look elsewhere.
Since pain will go around make sure it is meaningful. Make sure you don’t suffer more than you have to.
Because the less hellish life is predicated on the meaningful nature of one’s suffering.

humour is an advantage in sexual reproduction because it signals an intelligence you can't fake. you can use all the technical jargon and name-drop philosophers you want. none of that shows your pattern recognition and cognitive flexibility like a contextual, well timed joke.

There are no women in the top 100 chess players in the world.
This is interesting because unlike sports chess is entirely intellectual.
