What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

That’s a great point. Thank you. My guess is there are more people like this, including myself, that get their validation through genuine connection. That approach was learned over time. My post was addressing the people who are concerned with maintaining their popularity or or complaining about the lack of it. The complainers @cheekygirl75 originally mentioned. But you’re right, most people get just what they need with a very small circle of friends and no one else would ever know it.

Right, the obsession with “likes” and followers is prioritized over genuine connection. Likes being the only way to measure visibility. There are some who actually prefer getting “likes” to comments for that reason.

And again, this being a sex site screws with that dynamic. In one of the posts earlier someone brought up the ratio of men to women here and how there are 3-4 times more men than women. One of the the things I have always noticed was the different way men approach building their popularity compared to women and how they try to connect with them To many of them it’s nothing more than a pure numbers game until they connect with a winning ticket. If the winning ticket is actually a real woman. lol.

It’s simple economics, women here have the comparative advantage. The supply for women is low, the demand is high so they can afford to be choosy. Men on the other hand are in a saturated market. Our value is low so we have to find creative ways to improve our value.

Hence this misguided self imposed need to be popular. It fascinates me.

BUT

it all comes back to us guys in the retirement facility.

IF we don't kill ourselves doing something stupid before we get there.

Please don't take this hope away from me!!!

Pink Ladies get my vote

I shouldn't have been scared of it, Muff is good

Ok it seems we’ve started the great apple debate here!

I will concede that it depends on how the apple is being consumed as to which apple is best.
Some are better in pies (Granny Smith or honeycrisp), some taste better when dipped in caramel/chocolate (also Granny Smith or golden delicious)
And some by them selves are just the perfect sweet/tart combo (my beloved pink ladies) - these also are fantastic dipped in peanut butter

There, debate settled. You can all thank me however you see fit

 

[PrettyLilPussy19]

All you heathens will be brought to heel up on the great altar of the Almighty and delicious Honeycrisp!!

Unequivocally!

 

[MissSNG]

Unequivocally!

Et tu, Brute???

Red delicious used to be very good.

I haven't found a decent one in such a long time I gave up buying them

 

[Justabaldguy70]

I like Gala ..

I am going to agree Gala apples are really good

 

[cheekygirl75]

I’m going to be controversial on another food topic - all red apples taste the same. That’s why golden delicious are the best.

And Pink Lady is a marketing ploy which dramatically improved sales compared to their correct names

 

[PotNoodle79]

Oranges are better than apples.

There, I said it.

Come at me.

You know I live with a produce expert. Facts is facts!

I dont disagree with anything you said. I think you've got the long and short of it. I also thing popularity is confused with visibility.

I think what I find off putting is people trying establish their own "popularity" or be annoyed at their perceived lack of "popularity". I fully acknowledge that what I find important and interesting and compelling about people isnt AT ALL what other people find to be compelling etc. I guess I really like people who are themselves and not copies or trying too hard. Do what makes you happy and if other people like that, then thats pretty fucking cool.

It is tiring and hard work being popular. I am exhausted from it all but I keep it up for the sake of the community

Oh.
My.
God.

We finally agree on something! Somebody write down the date!!!

 

[Hornymwtxn]

There, I said it.

Come at me.

Bananas are the king of fruits worldwide, being the most consumed by a wide margin!

Apples a distant 2nd

I on the contrary I am going to sacrifice my popularity for the sake of others. It’s not fair to other men that I take away their opportunity to be popular. I am willing to do that for the greater Literotica good.
