My oldest daughter started a new school recently (she has been doing online homeschool for two years at her request but I worried she might be too isolated so she’s now attending a charter homeschool hybrid program with in person classes twice a week) and on the first day parents were encouraged to come along so I got to go back to school, too! High school even! (Unlike regular school parents are encouraged to visit anytime and are even able to sit in on classes to learn the topic themselves if they like!)
I share the background so the rest of this will make sense.
In one of her classes the teacher kicked things off by having everyone write down three things about themselves (parents too!), put them in a basket, draw another out, and go around introducing yourself and then asking questions to try and find the person whose paper you had. (Cool idea, I thought! I am very impressed with all of her teachers and the school so far!)
Anyway, this class was an elective so it contained students from freshmen to seniors. When the teacher got to one student, who sat with his giggly girlfriend, she mentioned he wasn’t really a student anymore as he had graduated the year before. His girlfriend had drawn his paper and read off the three things: 1. He liked sports. 2. His favorite thing to do is sleep. 3. People always stare at him. The girlfriend giggled.
I should add he looks almost exactly like Rock Hudson. I wondered if he knew how classically handsome he was, or if he honestly didn’t know why people stared. His girlfriend is not nearly as striking but she clearly adores him.
In the manosphere he likely would be what’s known as a natural. Attracting women’s attention will likely never be something he has to learn how to do. However,without knowledge he still might struggle with women if he doesn’t just figure things out or have someone teach him.
I wondered what will become of this young couple or how long they have been together. Maybe in time I will find out.
Anyway, what do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comments!
Notes From a Red Pill Girl

Be both optimistic and courageous, because those attitudes matters during any illness. If your faith helps, then use it. I may be the original doubting Thomas, but my wife had a quiet but certain faith that steadied us through some truly difficult times.
And maintaining a sense of humour helps, so if you need a recipe for Wor Won Ton, my mystical “Chinese” soup, just ask. The words just mean “everything”, you already have good chicken stock, you’re in an urban area so there has to be a Chinatown, so we can find all the ingredients, because most of it is just love ;-D

what a gift you are to your family that you gift them with your love through your soup 🙂

Copied the recipe from the Mennonite girls because they show how to make it from scratch. It is the same recipe as ours except we use just chicken stock and add one small clove of elephant garlic grated into the broth. We used whatever vegetables were in seasonavailable, my wife liked adding small bits of peppers. So you can adapt it to make it work.
The dumplings are time consuming but we made them from scratch if the kids wanted to help. Otherwise you can buy them frozen in most Chinese grocers, sometimes they are called pot stickers. Enjoy it kid ;-D

Almost forgot, a couple of drops of sesame seed oil added to the broth is a good addition. I guess it really does mean “everything” ;-D
thank you 🙂
i can’t eat everything in that recipe, but i can easily adapt it 🙂

Good! My wife always ordered it when we had Chinese take out…until the day when she said, “you know ours is a lot better.” Which was true because most of it comes down to a solid stock and fresh ingredients.
fresh ingredients are always so much better 🙂
i love Asian food, but restaurants almost always use oyster sauce or clam sauce, and i’m severely allergic to shellfish, so i don’t eat Asian out. they will sometimes have a dish that doesn’t use either, but the language barrier makes it difficult to discern. i also can’t have soy, so soy sauce is out.
however, at home, i can adapt 🙂
I heard a funny joke told by Jonathan Katz: “My wife and I have been married 25 years. We just renewed our vows of celibacy.”
Heh, that is a good one noochinator. 😆
