Sure. But I stand by my position that the best I can do is what women consistently tell me they want me to do.

I don’t think extra questions will help if your prospective partner is determined to lie to you about their consent.

Yes, exactly.

My boat was very cheap, so a lawsuit would lose me money, but you might be able to win a lot more over attempted murder. Maybe worth the cost of paying a lawyer to hear you out?

That’s fantastic; I’m happy for you.

I am saying they claimed that. I have no more knowledge than you do if they were telling the truth.

Of course not. It was only three times where the problem was asking for consent to kiss, not only three times for consent period. My consent rejection list is considerably longer than 3.

Didn’t I see you in those threads about the women choosing bears over men supporting the idea of men listening when women tell men they need to change their behaviour? Why are you now attacking me for doing it?

You are free to assume they lied to me.

What’s amusing is that these same people will, in other threads, bash men who take the only other feasible approach, which is the giving up you’re referring to. They want to have their cake and eat it, too: in this thread, it’s never ok to make a pass at a woman, but if you make a thread about being lonely, you’ll be told you’re a coward for not making passes at women.

Or, you know, give women what they are literally telling me they want, which is what I did.

No rationale given, they just told me to sue in civil court instead.

I wish I lived in your world. I’ve had 3 rejections specifically because I asked for permission to kiss.

Reuters is the best paper out there, full stop.

I’m very interested in how many posters in this thread are non-virgin men, because I’m not seeing any discussion of how behaviour like this is often absolutely necessary in order to get anywhere with a woman. Every woman I’ve ever met, including my current gf, has found explicit consent at every step an absolute mood-killer, and I’ve been rejected multiple times by other women for checking for it. I’m expected to sinply make an advance and give her the opportunity to reject it. I absolutely hate this, but it’s reality. I’m sure not all women are like the women I’ve met, and I don’t have hard numbers for you, but it’s also how every woman works in every movie, every book, every story about romance, so I’m sure most people reading this post at least understand what I’m referring to.

their actual jobs

They don’t appear to have actual jobs. I’m sure they have job descriptions on paper, but SCOTUS has been quite clear that they can’t be legally compelled to do their jobs, and sure enough, every time I’ve ever called the police, they’ve simply refused to enforce the law. The last time was when a police sergeant literally told me that boat theft wasn’t a criminal matter.

No-one is surprised or acting surprised that the bomb was used, people are upset at how.

This article is written like a fever dream. Emphasis mine:

Cracker Barrel faces a critical challenge: Attracting younger diners. Currently, their core customer base are those over 65. Masino, who joined Taco Bell nine months ago, outlined a five-point turnaround plan during a recent earnings call to address this.

It means HubertManne had a stroke while typing.

Not surprised at law enforcement (the prosecutor) failing to enforce the law, but the silver lining is this sounds like an easily-won wrongful death suit.

No-one reputable is going to report on this, but you did some weird searches if you only found Murdoch sources for it. The primary sources on this are, in chronological order:

1. The Daily Fail, which is owned by Harmsworth and Rothermere, not Murdoch.
2. The IDF releasing the videos directly (abundant re-sharing meant I failed to find where the IDF originally posted them).
