Conversations around this topic always bring out my "simp" part and the correspondingly critical protector who calls that part pathetic https://twitter.com/maybegray/status/1317231975057432581">https://twitter.com/maybegray...
Re: @maybegray& #39;s followup question, "simp" means (cue braindump)...

*...like I& #39;m trying to be "nice" and "understanding" and "thoughtful," which is in some weird way like a facade covering up that I just want the approval of attractive women
*the feeling/orientation that I am of a lower status and I& #39;m trying to learn from your wisdom about sex...

But maybe it& #39;s easier to answer the second part, i.e. what does the critical part find pathetic about it -- since that& #39;s the part calling the other part a "simp"...
*the women think you (the simp part) are sweet and nice but that& #39;s it
*you are in no way sexually desirable...

*everyone can see through your questions/responses to them -- it& #39;s obvious that you just want their approval but it& #39;s also obvious that they& #39;re never going to really respect you as a man...
...It& #39;s also triggered by the fact that y& #39;all are not only attractive women but that you both are/have been involved in "sex work" in some way...
...So it leaves me with this weird feeling of being one of your customers -- i.e. never being able to genuinely get your attention. Instead only being able to engage with you by paying for the attention. Thus the "pathetic" judgment...
...I.e. here I am trying to engage with you in a respectful, thoughtful conversation but fundamentally I& #39;m just a loser who is paying for your attention.
Of course the weird thing is I& #39;m not that. This is Twitter and I haven& #39;t paid to get your attention or have a conversation...

Feel free to respond or not (I welcome it & I& #39;m curious what you see here). But I might not touch this thread for a little while since it& #39;s fairly raw for me and I need to get some space from it.
Thanks for the question!
