I’m sorry. Sounds like you’ve had some shitty experiences. I have, too, so maybe I get it at least somewhat (based on this very short description), but my experiences aren’t yours, and it sucks. It changes you and can fuck up future relationships and happiness if the aftermath doesn’t go well. Hoping you have found a better path toward happiness.

Oh, I am highly attracted to certain kinds of intelligence in women, but (a) I think I have acquired this over my post-teenage life, and (b) I still very much need that intelligence to be in a body I also find attractive. We are all victims of our evolution and cultural messaging, to varying extents.

I don’t think it’s hero worship to recognize the apparently amazing job Mamdani is doing, either. I’m just very wary of falling into the hero worship trap.

I think this is a “that’s the joke” moment. Yes, that us a major point of the movie.

Fucking Option B, please.

I don’t want to fall into the trap of hero worship but yeah, this seems like what mayors should always be doing.

It might just maybe be similar to why men are also not attracted to intelligence.

There is a small mountain of exactly these kinds of messages on the Internet, shared repeatedly on social media. A lot of them, in fact, are this exact tweet and its clones.

Yelling at extroverts online for being extroverted is a well-established trope at this point, nearly always including the claim that it rarely or never happens.
