That's assuming they're delicious, if I'd baked then I'd also be crying.

Baking is a lot more straightforward then cooking in my experience. Follow the recipe exactly and you're good. Its when folks are like, "Oh I'm out of butter I'll just use margarine it'll be fine" that shit gets fucky. Cooking though? You can do a lot on vibes there and be fine.

What gets me in the kitchen is ingredients having different prep times, preparation steps, and containers. I have a small kitchen... It becomes pure chaos and not worth the effort very quickly.

Baking is a science. Cooking is art.
You wanna double the bacon in a BLT? Go for it.
You wanna double the flour in your muffins? Hope you like rocks.

I've just had a brilliant idea for a recipe site.
ASMR (or even alternative reality?) active participation cooking instructions. You could be cooking with Julia Chiles or Emrila in your kitchen... Or your grandma

I missed the word "pretend" and got really confused at first.

I need the herb you are smoking.

Lol girlfriend ASMR. That’s more pathetic than just hiring a sex worker for a girlfriend experience. While this is most likely fake and gay, guys like this exist. They seem to not understand that you can’t go from zero social contact with women for decades to having a girlfriend instantly.

Support your brothers instead of tearing them down. Let them know that their worth is more than how many women they attract.
StopJoiningWars -4 points 2 years ago
Nah, support your local institutions so that people don't need to sell their bodies to make a living.
SharkEatingBreakfast 38 points 2 years ago
You can do both.

I googled girlfriend asmr and honestly it’s pretty cringe, the primal part of me really does wanna bully this dude. But I set that part aside because I try not to be an asshole for no reason, as it does not benefit anyone including myself. Even if we reflexively think these thoughts due to society and upbringing, we don’t have to give into them, much less spend real time introducing more negativity into the world by voicing them.
I grew up in Texas with very traditional masculine bs. Some part of me would read what I just said and think “what a pussy”. But I promise you I’m much happier now that I’ve learned to set the negativity aside, and I like to think I make fewer people feel bad regularly. There is no downside to this because, well, there’s no real benefit to shitting on people who aren’t hurting anybody.

It's pretty simple, putting someone else down makes you feel powerful. That's really all there is to it. It's the same kind of thing kids do when they kill random bugs they find, they're asserting their power over them.
I know nothing about you, but there are probably analogues in your life as well:
- bragging about a good score in school
- comparing how many books you've read vs others
- comparing your income to someone worse off
Basically, you want what you have to feel better than what someone else has, because that means you're "better" in some way. It's just pride at the end of the day, and not a constructive form of it since you usually feel worse afterward.

I can't speak for other people but I have what I think is a similar impulse occasionally to OP. There is certainly a power dynamic to it but it's not exactly what you describe, because it doesn't present itself in response to weak individuals acting in prosocial or "healthy" ways.
I believe it's a subconscious determination that an adult male member of the tribe is unsafe or mentally unwell. The instinct is to protect the weak and drive the danger elsewhere. Provoking a social confrontation could give the other male a chance to prove they have the willpower and social skills to remain in the tribe.
That is entirely my subjective parsing of a soup of hormones. The more aware of it I am, the better I can be at overriding the instinct and using empathy.

You know what's even more pathetic? Bashing people for being lonely

I dated a camgirl for a while, (insert “itS not DatIng if yoU’Re pAyiNg Her” joke here,) and she always said some of her saddest regulars were the ones who clearly just wanted a pretty girl to pay attention to them for 15 minutes. She always joked that she was cheaper than therapy, because probably a quarter of her regulars were dudes who just didn’t know how to talk to women, and had resorted to paying one to talk to them for a while.
She didn’t mind carrying the conversation because she was sociable, but it did end up leaving her feeling pretty depressed after a while. It’s one of the biggest reasons she ended up leaving the industry. There were some that didn’t even necessarily want her to undress, because it broke the “this is just a fun casual conversation with a pretty girl, and totally happened naturally like a meet-cute” illusion for them. Because having her undress would just remind them that she’s a paid worker who is only talking to them because she’s on the clock.

It seems to be the actions of a heterosexual so I'm not sure what you think is 'gay' about it. Can you explain?

"fake and gay" is a common response on 4chan to greentexts.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
