I'm not surprised. It was a bizarre, nonsensical screed about... Well, honestly it was a little difficult to tell WHAT it was about exactly, other than some vague idea about women controlling men with our evil tempting bodies being...bad. Like the government. Or something? I don't even know. It was one of those that was so disjointed that people were replying with things like, "What?"
I had to work as manager on duty for a party last night so I drank a coffee early in the evening (around 6pm or so) to try and keep myself going, knowing I'd be up late. Did not get to bed until nearly midnight. Unfortunately I'm so unaccustomed to caffeine at that time of day, that it was still affecting my system. I feel like all night, periodically, I would become aware of the fact that I was not truly sleeping. I feel like I didn't sleep at all. But yet I must have...I mean, time passed and otherwise it would have been boring to just lay there for 6 hours right? I wasn't bored. I also wasn't thinking about stuff. It's like I was asleep but not asleep. I don't know. It was weird. I still feel weird.
It was something along the lines of how porn emasculates men? And porn actresses shouldn't make money for being cruel? Looking at that OP's posting history, it seemed to me he was suffering from a double whammy of mental health issues and evangelical indoctrination.

ESCALATE
What is with this term being suddenly dropped all over this forum by the boys? Is it a hot buzz word on some pick up artist blog recently? Seriously shudder worthy term.
What in the world type of world do people live in where they feel they have to plan to "escalate" something with someone?
You’re trying to make sense of it. When I see that pattern, I google red pill: Escalate, (or whatever the buzzword is.) Sure that may be confirmation bias, but it always ends up being a form of confirmation none the less.
The related questions and attitudes found in the search surrounding the new catch phrase, will all be similar to what’s being repeated here, masquerading as original opinion.
Don’t point it out or the user will reply: What is Red Pill? As if they couldn’t just look it up, if they actually didn’t know. Good indication it’s just one with no experience parroting what they read, which then continues the cycle of misinformation that serves no positive purpose.

Well, yeah, I do try to do that in life
But sheesh, that's some dark dark stuff, RBCLL. What a sad existence. Depression has to be rampant.
It's not necessarily always from the dark side crowd. I've used it before too.
I think it's mostly folks who are friendly with someone and wants to be ... "more friendly" without being insensitive or pushy or whatever the appropriate word.
Mother Nature played some cruel games when creating some of us, where recognizing the obvious sometimes require a PhD.

It’s the muddle ground for guys who are sure there’s a secret they weren’t let in on, their situation can’t possibly be of their own doing, there has to be a code for all of this stuff. They keep reading and studying, instead of getting out the door and experiencing.
IMO.

You’re not there though, you have more self awareness, humility and emotional intelligence. Still, don’t think about escalating, let things progress naturally (or not) or you may force a negative reaction if the other person senses some “urgency”.
