Geez. I guess it's like they say - Hope is the mother of fools.

Don't know if I should CPR this topic or create new one but it actually has few good points so maybe it is worth to be continued. Are there any other preppers or people that are preparing for something? Maybe some homesteaders?

I don't have Netflix but I'm not surprised that people are canceling their accounts. There was a time when I thought that actions like this are childish but hey, it works perfectly for the Liberals so why not to try to defeat them with their own weapon? On the other hand I try to vote with my money as much as I can so it seems to be logical. We make choices every day, there is no need to support financially products and services that make us dissatisfied or simply hurt us. Or maybe we are just being trolled? Have you seen Dear White People movie from 2014? Maybe it's not what it seems to be? It's easy to jump into conclusions especially in times we live now but maybe we need to research it better or just wait. Don't know.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's never easy and it's a very courageous move to leave your family of origin behind. I've also done it last year and it was difficult. I blocked them wherever I could (my mother and my sister) but I know that if they really wanted they could find a way and I know they will one day. For now they left me alone. I know it's very tempting to read the massages left by then even though you don't want to receive them in the first place but if it bothers you so much maybe you can change email address. Think about your wellbeing, they don't care about yours. They need you to play the role in this disfunctional relationship and seeking of the contact it's just another form of manipulation. If they would really want you back (in healthy way) they would move heaven and earth to get better and to try to create a relationship based on love, respect and honesty. For most of us it will never happen but we like to fool ourselves secretly from time to time that somehow they will become people we always want it. In most of the scenarios it's the good old game, there might be few cosmetic changes but the core stays the same.

Europeans should definitely stop voting on the Left. People seem to wake up but it might be too late for some of the countries. I've been into this topic for many years now and it was getting scary long before this refugee/immigrants crisis. You don't have to be super smart to figure out where does it lead. I was born in Poland but for few years now I live in Iceland. Iceland is still extremely safe for women and children but of course it's just a matter of time. People seem to not want to learn from mistakes made by Sweden or Germany etc. They believe that this time it will be different, they don't want see the patterns.

He is not perfect but he is pretty successful in attracting certain type of audience and he has his own way to approach the subject. I've seen him being interviewed by Tomi Lahren and he seemed pretty civil to me. It would be interesting to see him interact with Stefan but I would prefer to see Anthony Brian Logan on the show. If you don't know the guy yet it is worth to check out his YouTube channel.

I agree that it's important to have some kind of relationships outside the family unit but for me the most important is the quality of the relationships. Btw. When it comes to family it can go either way. The kids might have a lot of friends and some of them might like to have only few. It's good to teach them by an example but sometimes you just do what you can with what you've got. Like I said before I don't have kids yet so maybe I don't see things how they really are. My example: somehow I turned out distinctly different than my mother and my sister and many of my female cousins. We all come from similar disfinctional environment but I was the only one to get out of it in the probably best way possible (of course there is always room for improvement) so I'm pretty optimistic about my future parenting style. Kids are different and you just have to approach each case in different way.

I never had problems with meeting new people after hitting puberty (guess sexual market value). On the other hand as a child my mother called me a savage because I cried when strangers were talking to me and I was very shy when I was meeting new kids - I was severely abused as a child. I had one good female friend (in my teens) but we don't live in the same country for many years now and the only thing that we still have in common is very special sense of humor. We have always been very different but now it even went more further. I usually had more male friends, most of them very intelligent guys. I tried to make some female friendships but it never worked out. I was a tomboy as a kid and I had stronger relationship with my father rather than with my mother. I've never been accepted by her neither by my older sister. Maybe this is a reason why I can't get into deeper relationship with women or maybe it is something else. Sometimes I wish I would have female friends but in the same when I look around I don't see anything interesting. Sometimes women try to get to know me better but I'm pretty quick in judging people and I just don't give them a chance. On the other hand I don't think I've ever met an interesting woman in real life. It all seems so trivial for me and since I don't have kids yet it feels like my brain works a little bit differently. I like people in general but very often I prefer to be alone so I can focus on doing something that interests me. Spending my free time with people that I don't have much in common seems to me like a waste of time.

The first impression matters but you will get better in it. There is no magic but only practice Some people are lucky enough to find someone good pretty fast. Some need more time to be successful in their search. Some never will. That's just the way it is. There is no need to be sentimental about female encounters in your past. Maybe if the circumstances would be good for you maybe it would work out maybe not. It's in the past. Sometimes we have tendencies to idealize things that had the potential but there was no way to pursue them. Leave them be and focus on the present and the future. I had many men interested in me, few of them were really crazy about me. I could choose from rich and poor, from smart and successful, from simple minded, good men, bad boys, Christian men, artists etc. I tried to reason with myself, giving a try. Nothing worked out. When I didn't trust my guts I felt nauseous and I had to stop lying to myself. The bad boys were too bad and the good men were too good. I knew that if I would meet a virtuous man he will see through me and realize how damaged I was and that he will not want to have anything to do with me. Btw. I also had few rejections and it hurt me. I couldn't understand how it was even possible. Silly me. The hope of finding someone was making me miserable. I tried even to lie to myself that I'm not looking anymore but of course I was looking. Deep down I wanted to be happy. I've been always interested in psychology but that time I decided to really dive into it. Therapy didn't work out. I also didn't want to take "happy pills" and since I'm "do it yourself" person I've read a tons of literature on the subject (my ACE score is 5). I met my partner in the middle of that process when I was 27. In some way I wish I knew what I know now but I'm happy now so there is no point of dwelling on the past. Everyone has their own unique path. Go out and practice and trust your gut. In some way dating is like going on an job interview. Both sides have something to offer, being an expert in something doesn't always mean you get the job because other factors also matter. Same with the relationship. You need someone that will get the job done and that you will get along with each other. Before you find a good employee you have to surf through many applications. Nothing wrong with that because good things very often don't come easily.

In my opinion your lack of dating experience would not matter for someone really interested in you. If someone is not interested in the "real" you why to even bother? I know it's easier to say than to do it but this is just a reality. If you want to have a good relationship you have to be honest. It's that kind of a deal - take it or leave it - because sooner or later the truth will come up and there is no need to waste so much time. Rejection in the dating business happens to everyone. Learn from it and move on. Dating for me personally was at some times interesting but in most cases just tiring. You have to swim through many rapids until you land safely on the shore but at the end it's worth it even though you might came out with bruises or even with some fractures. I'm happy that I don't have to worry about it anymore. I'm 34 and actually I have female cousin (35, never married, no kids) that for the last few years is trying to find a man. Nothing to be jealous about. It's difficult for her (she is still very attractive) but there is always something wrong. I offered her help, advised her therapy but she says that there is something wrong with guys not with her. Dating is a hard work but it's not that there is only something wrong with the other side. There are sometimes things in us that prevent us from finding the right person. If I would be in dating again I would try to find a man with similar interests like mine so I would look for him in places connected to it. I would not date single father since I don't have kids myself. I'm not religious (even though I had pretty strict catholic upbringing) but maybe Christian man could be a good fit. Christian but also openminded and respectful towards my beliefs. It's very important. I could also be interested in the Right wing environment - conservatives, nationalists, traditionalists etc. I would also tried someone who is not into politics but can think logically - I could work with that. Left wing? Waste of time in my view. There is no point in changing someone. I think the beginning of the relationship should be great and exciting and with time should only get better. Of course you change and your partner changes but in kind of natural way. There shouldn't be pressure. I've been actually to Vancouver last year. I'm not a fan of big cities but BC is beautiful and if you are into hiking there are many opportunities for sure Maybe you can try in this direction. Btw. I find my partner when I wasn't looking for anyone (at least not consciously). I have some dating experience for sure but many times I've lost hope to find someone good. But like I said it before: it's worth it and hey... we have some duties to fulfill. Making the next generations great again

I wonder how girls/women get to this point. Probably many different factors are involved in this process.

Isn't the whole feminism some kind of substitute for something else or maybe some kind of defense mechanism? Personally I don't know any feminists. Sometimes I think that only normal women can defeat feminism or some military conflict which will straighten up things between our genders.

I think it's good to ask about therapist's approach in this matter. Some of them push the "forgive and move on" agenda and that somehow you should still be in touch with your parents because you will benefit from it. That they (therapists) will teach you how to deal with your family's BS.
