Members you would like to have a sleep over?

I don't think it has to do with rationalism for most. Not a single time in my life the thought crossed my mind and there is no catch or supposed inner denial, im sure for most men it feels that way too.

Being the gender with 17 times the testosterone, that controls amongst other things our sex drive, this is probably an unconscious natural process early on to focus on the opposite gender for sanity. I think it's even hard to understand for females, they have to imagine the horniest they have ever been, multiply that by 10 and that's a slow Tuesday for us in front of Netflix.

This hormone also controls our level of agression, imagine the time you were the most upset and ready for violence, multiply this x10, that's us playing with a dog pup.

If we had men thoughts on top of women attraction, we would go insane. Hopefully most of us can channel it reasonnably the majority of the time, which is more or less what civilization always had been about, diverting men's agressive nature towards problem solving, harnessing it for the good of society and in turn keeping the violence to at least an acceptable level.

What Is Manliness?

Aristotle set out in his Nicomachean Ethics a code of ethics for men to live by. For Aristotle and many of the ancient Greeks, manliness meant living a life filled with with eudaimonia.

Aristotle believed that man’s purpose was to take actions guided by rational thought that would lead to excellence in every aspect of his life. Thus, manliness meant being the best man you can be.

Rationalism, spiritualism are also a part of manhood, too many prooves to show this. In greek culture, rationalism is seen as a major good of being born a man; also in most religions, men are considered as essentially spiritual beings. So I do not think rationalism should contradict with your testerone as being at control of savagery. Getting into manly spiritualism will go very deep into this direction, warriorism is a prominent showcase of it, in most cultures, this tradition is as ethical as it is spiritual. Athens VS Sparta comes to mind, as the full representation of the Hellenic world. Rational traits can be seen as an attribute of spirituality which we would call as culture, so it all adds up. This is the fantastic part.

Albeit we men seem and should be perfect creatures, but we are still imperfect compared to our ideals and we will still fall for women, some for men, for arts, for money, some for drugs, and many other stupidities. This is a great dilemma, and manly dilemma. But I agree that we should solve these issues with humane approaches.

Yes, but what i tried to convey is everything is indeed rationalism when for example we try to avoid unleashing massive amount of violence on other people or harms (ie rape) even if we could actually get away with it. That is part of our own self we ve learned to tame but also take advantage of, for better things, since childhood. Which is on a side note also very dangerous to restrain little kids who likes to fight gently and learn to deal with that early on.

Being attracted to men is something else, i don't have to reason myself from compulsory desires with that or because i feel it would be wrong morally, there is just no innate desire for it. It's very tiring to hear if we feel repulsed by the idea, then there must be something wrong and we are secretly attracted to it.

I'd invite over CordedWhelp and Todesritter. We'd go into the woods to drink insanely overprized micro brews and listen to the newest Antestor record.

I know some bunkers with good acoustics and good views that are far enough from civilization to visit for the purpose

Can I come? I love Antestor.

Of course you can come, I have a medieval cape at least 4 people can sit on

Hopefully no one will suddenly hate me for hearing this lol, please don't take this too seriously, a lot of you guys are awesome, but I'd rather not have any TA members over for various reasons and especially not for a sleepover. If I could imagine it somehow lol a coffee or a cafe stop would be more acceptable, but I'd much rather keep TA users in the TA world preferably, especially at this point in my life. I know I said a while back that I would be willing to meet certain TA members lololol but for various reasons I've changed my mind on that matter. Hopefully I can meet some TA members in my dreams though!

I don’t know who but it would be nice. We could gossip about other members, watch the devil wears prada and finally someone could help me measuring my head circumference for clear classification.
