@Jamesman
I do remember that part being a little funny and a bit of a reach.
The ancients who built those megastructures were probably very in tune with the natural world and found inspiration from solar/lunar cycles. They could have been more in tune with their bodies as well and could have used the structures for triggering altered states. That would be cool.

[Aster]

Maybe it wasn’t only sexual selection. Maybe it was founder effect and killing/conquering brownhaired/eyed populations. Maybe under specific conditions, the traits mutated spontaneously and simultaneously, and there was a lot of that going on. Or maybe aliens.
Neanderthals also had MC1R and HERC2 mutations, so they might have also had light skin, blond hair, red hair, and blue/green eyes among them – that’s what I’ve just been told by the internet.

Asiatic populations in northern latitudes haven’t had these mutations happen to them, so it’s interesting it happened to European peoples.

[Aster]

I’ve also wondered about how blue eyes were able to become so widespread in a population if they are a recessive trait. It makes me think that an ancient culture selected for it intentionally. How did blonde, red hair, and blue eyes explode across a population if they’re recessive to brown/black traits?

Oh and the theory that blue eyes became widespread because they’re advantageous in low levels of light sounds silly.

[Aster]

@RHNegative
I actually first came across Robert Sepehr in Asha Logos’ little Phoenix group. And it’s weird, because some people on the internet have argued that he’s not Jewish, so I watched his Native American video without realizing that he was. It was still good though and not too long. The legend he references about ancient whites on the western coast of America is good. And the swastikas on Amerindian artifacts.

It does seem like what we know of the past is mainly legends, and we have an overly simplified version today of them.

I read another person’s comment in a thread about Japan, and he said the Japanese have a myth that they were beaten by another ancient race and hold a grudge about it or something.

How can the nordics be a hybrid of celtics and asiatics? That sounds strange to me. It depends on how much asiatic and what you mean by it I guess. The ancient Russian steppe peoples?

@Ted
Wow, I had no idea so many pop culture characters were getting replaced. I’ve just come across the more famous ones. But it’s not just gingers singled out, but maybe they’re overly singled out? No idea. It might have something to do with redheads considered alluring or rare, so replacing them with nonwhites kind of makes sense in a way. They are sought after.

[Aster]

@Hunter I’m not going to post your other account name here because I want you to have your privacy. And I guess women might not even see it anyway. Just know that some of us won’t put up with your crap and won’t be your slave. It’s not about dominance or submission, it’s about self-respect and self-interest. If they like you, and you respect them, then they will “submit,” if it’s in their interest. They will let you “dominate.” I’m sure a lot more could be said, but I don’t want to get any deeper here at the moment. These are just some quick thoughts of mine.

[Aster]

@Hunter I saw you made another account here to try to make a better impression on women. I think they should be made aware of some of your posts though, like the one you just made here.
You also have a lot growing up to do. You have to grow out of blaming your parents and others for your issues. I’ve come across a lot of your posts over the years, and that’s one of the impressions I’ve gotten. It’s strange how you hate your mother, but she was a slave to your father which you think is the ideal.

I might be in the minority here, but someone has to stand up for others and women, so they don’t potentially get hurt by someone like Sigma. I hope he sees my notes to him here.

[Aster]

@Sigma You almost give off serial killer vibes with your post. Please be careful, and try to work through how you’ve been wronged, so you don’t pass it along to others.

[Aster]

Okay, it looks like the posts are ordered in the opposite direction at the moment.

@Uli There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding women’s biological clock. Your overall health is more of a determinant than age. Don’t let beliefs about mid-30s births scare you. “Technically” seems to be usually wrong in a lot of areas, meaning not the full picture to me.

[Aster]

I know these cases are way outside of the norm, but I’ve known of a 64-year-old woman who gave birth to twins. She died when she was 80, and when they were 16. And there were those two male celebrities, of Italian descent, who fathered kids when they were around 80. Lol

@Sigma Try not to return the energy you were given, please. No one deserves that. Not you either.

[Aster]

Remember that people “you don’t like” are going to want to match with you I don’t know how many times higher than people on your level or higher. That’s part of what’s kind of depressing about dating apps. Anyone you think is quality will give you a run for your money, unless the stars align, and it’s mutual. Dating apps aren’t the best for building interest in people, unless the interest is already there from the get-go, which is sometimes hard to tell in the first place. Remember that you are being judged on dating apps, more harshly than if you were casually building familiarity with someone in person. Sometimes I think there needs to be dating profile consultants and dating profile help, a niche that could be filled. I’m sure there are a lot of women that need help like that too.
Dating apps are a very quick-decision playing field. You have to able to like them or not like them, without much of a gray area.

[Aster]

I remember the owner of this site saying a while back that she was having trouble finding white web developers who would help with this site. Maybe that has something to do with it.

[Aster]

@RHNegative
I’ve followed a woman with rhesus negative blood married to a rhesus positive man. She’s had many children with him, I lose track, and has freebirthed all of them. There isn’t a perfect explanation for this except that pregnant women normally don’t have to worry about their blood mixing with their fetus’. She also has a lot of irreverence for the medical world. A lot of it is dubious protocols followed to cover doctors’ butts.

“I do not take rhogam at all. I did have an antibody test at one point (after my first baby’s birth) and I was told that I *was* sensitized, and that future babies might die. I ignored this, and I now have 9 perfectly healthy children (only 2 of whom are rh- like me).”
Just something to keep in mind.

And if Basques have the highest percentage of RH- among themselves, at 30% RH-, shouldn’t they also be more fair in phenotype? Scandinavians seem to be the most fair to me, at 15-20% RH-. The Scandinavians at least mixed with a fair population themselves, besides an RH- population.

I don’t know when/if this forum with get fixed to be able to see past page 2, so I don’t know if someone will ever see this.

[Aster]

Best white film?…
Helloooo it’s called, Lord of the Rings… trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson.

[Aster]

I know a lot of whites have grown up with rap and have become habituated and desensitized to it, but… I don’t think it’s a good thing. It’s a bad cultural influence. It’s more lowbrow than high-class, I’ll just say… I can’t speak my mind.

[Aster]

I don’t think of Japan as all rosy. I saw in a popular youtube short that Japanese men will follow or stalk white/foreign women at night in their cities. And I also wonder about their psyche if the sexual content they have there is really… I don’t know the right word. They can’t blame it on a subversive porn industry that we have in the west. Maybe someone can fill me in about that…
I understand respecting Japan, but I just don’t think it’s right that western whites, moreso seems to be white men, obsess over it so much.

[Aster]

It’s a lot to unpack. You could also delve into the redheaded Chinese Tarim Basin mummies. Just from Wikipedia –
“The new finds are also forcing a reexamination of old Chinese books that describe historical or legendary figures of great height, with deep-set blue or green eyes, long noses, full beards, and red or blond hair. Scholars have traditionally scoffed at these accounts, but it now seems that they may be accurate.” They could have arrived there around 3000 BC, while east Asians arrived 1000 BC.
And was Genghis Khan redheaded and light-eyed?

There are Jews that are gingers now, so I guess they can’t hate gingers completely anymore. I don’t know much about the zodiac or the Phoenicians. The Jews inherited from them?

Disney is now trying to erase redheads? Do you mean just in general as nonwhites are replacing white characters? I know the Little Mermaid was replaced.

[Aster]

That’s really cool. Haven’t heard of that, about the Richat Structure.
I think the true indigenous of Europe were Neanderthals lol. Little do these Europeans know that They Are On Neanderthal Land. That needs to be on a hat at REI.

Thanks for the links. It seems like Egypt was one of the original melting pots of very different populations.
And all the reports of red haired mummies in ancient times makes you wonder about how common red hair used to be instead of it being a rarity like today.

[Aster]

That is a very interesting short video! I don’t think I really knew about that cemetery he speaks of. And it’s funny that an archeology team from Brigham Young University headed that research.
This forum wasn’t showing the video for me, so I looked at this webpage’s source code, if anyone else has that problem. (odysee.com/@scoobyburn:1/Egyptian-Kings-and-Queens-were-White:b)

I’ve heard Laurence Waddell’s books on Egyptian and Sumerian civilization might be worth looking into. Maybe there are other interesting finds like that.

[Aster]

@Tony Do you have any fun and credible resources you recommend about the ancient Egyptian rulers being white? A lot of it is disjointed information for me, like knowing of the pictures of their mummies with fair/red hair and King Tut’s R1b Y haplogroup. Also I could get books about it, and the Sumerians, to read for later.

@Ted Yeah, it would be interesting to see what they come up with, but I wonder if it could penetrate the mainstream, or if it might get buried.

[Aster]

@Tony It’s crazy how much we don’t know about history. It makes you wonder what the Nazis would have found out if they had continued their research. Since narratives seem to determine what mainstream research is conducted.

[Aster]

@Uli Yeah, homeschooling is also prohibited in Germany, but Germans could in theory protest against that. But they aren’t aware enough, in enough numbers, to do something about it, it seems like.

I think the EU has also helped deteriorate white Europeans’ loyalty to their nations, if EU inhabitants are able to easily move from one nation to another within the EU. Similar to the United States’ “internal empire,” which contributes to our rootlessness, and results in whites becoming an itinerant deracinated peopleless people. We don’t have the incentives a small nation state has. Blood and soil are important.

I can’t see the second page of this thread, but oh well haha. Maybe it’ll be fixed soon.

[Aster]

They might not have much racial consciousness to begin with, if they’re willing to flee their homeland over migrants moving in. That might be a big part of the problem. They can’t move to a better whiter area within their own country? That’s what I normally think of as white flight.

[Aster]

@AphroditeHeart Oh, I need to make something like that for myself. I haven’t played with AI at all. I’m behind the times

[Aster]

@Hunter You act like such a victim. I mean, I’m a victim too haha. And, if I were a guy having a hard time finding someone, I would be tempted to test the waters in Ukraine too. But I thought you said women considered you a 1 or around there. I thought you said that in the thread I made a long time ago. How are you going to go from that to being able to win an attractive blue-eyed blonde Ukrainian woman? Is Ukraine the new gold rush??

[Aster]

I think on the level of individuals we have little power to protect what we hold dear into our posterity. That’s why institutions exist. So you either form the institution to protect your interests, or… it’s basically the wild west, which that seems to be what’s going on for the majority of us. We don’t really have a place to run to, except just to ease our circumstances. People with more strongly held conceptions and the institutions behind them to support them may gain the power.

[Aster]

Just the sheer amount of stone circles erected in the British Isles, and Brittany, compared to the rest of the world is amazing.

I watched one of Robert Sepehr’s videos on the “native american white people” or something, in which he covered areas on the west coast of America. And Southwestern native Americans apparently have used the swastika heavily in their traditional crafts and pottery, but they’ve since formerly disassociated from that design, and you can probably guess why.

[Aster]

You might want to get to a space with them that’s without emotional agitation or negative pre-judgment if you want to talk reasonably to each other. They may feel that their world views are at risk of getting disrespected – they could feel disrespected in some way. Maybe by showing you care about them, they’ll be more receptive.

[Aster]

White women also receive that kind of attention from certain types of men or nonwhite men… Men want a prize too. People will fall for the attention I guess.

[Aster]

Even before the World Wars though, in some places in America English and German were in contest for being the dominant language, and English won out. That’s about all (I think) I know when it comes to German-American roots.
Now Spanish is making headway alongside English, with the millions of Mexicans coming over. I’ve recently started seeing Spanish with English on signage, meant for kids and whomever. It’s surprising.

[Aster]

@Wakstar Thanks for the encouragement. I don’t want to embody pessimism and manifest more of it. Don’t want to be weighed down by the psyche more than anything else. Working on that, lol.

There is the large German component of white Americans, but it might have been subsumed by a conception of being Anglo or having Anglo ties, especially after the world wars with Germany, but I don’t really know. Identity is a funny thing here

[Aster]

I think most Americans used to consider themselves an Anglo nation; I guess back when whites were 90% of the population in the 60s and earlier. I can’t imagine thinking we’re “Anglo” now, and highly doubt gen z or alpha would. I feel like we’re a giant purple/blue muppet asking itself, What am I?, meme. Haha

[Aster]

The list of holidays that we have now represents a change in the mythology of American society. From founding fathers, manifest destiny, and Christianity to diversity, multiculturalism, and the opposite of the former. American patriotism is considered laughable today. Even though, when you look at many other countries, their people take great pride in their country, nation/people, land, history, and mythology. It’s been a long process of demoralization, and this shift really became apparent during the BLM riots when 100+ statues/memorials were taken down and destroyed. I think the British and English kernel of America is more and more becoming a distant memory.

[Aster]

There are certainly a variety of ways to go about doing it. Many are “afraid,” so to speak, in the pro-white sphere, so first it would take some changing of ourselves if we’re going to try to change others in a big way. You’re not afraid though :-). There’s a lot to be said. And I’m no Edward Bernays either lol.

[Aster]

Well, you do want to try to have people make positive connections and associations in their mind with you or your message. She formed a negative connection to you along the way.
Being anti-LGBT is another issue that regular people would feel threatened by these days I think. My intent with spreading a pro-white message would be to try not to be polarizing. Then people won’t be so quick to label you and dehumanize you.

Maybe nevermind about the older lady then, if she connected you to that incident. That was just an example of mine.

[Aster]

I wouldn’t say “mixed out of existence” and “taught to welcome diversity” because they sound more political to me. I would avoid confrontational material. However, we could spread awareness of whites’ ever more rapid decline and ever more quick transition into becoming a minority and ask people to question why that is considered a social good. It can be an emotional subject to think of that kind of loss for one’s own group.

I’m just saying what I would personally do, which would be to appeal to the average person in a way that doesn’t make them react so negatively. Like how that older lady whose printing shop you were at stopped wanting to print for you after she realized what it was. I don’t remember exactly what you said happened about that though. What would make her feel comfortable to print or at least to stop for a moment and consider printing, I guess?

[Aster]

@Tony Too late, I’ve already done that. Heh. P90x was the trend then, and I tried it too! Granted, I could try harder…

[Aster]

I think what I would do is have a less focus on ideology or ideas counter to mainstream culture. People will put up a guard to your perceived pushiness and divisiveness with the ideas and typecast you with negative feelings and emotions associated with them.

But what people are more likely to want to be made aware of are double standards and unfairness. What’s right and what’s wrong. That seems to be a big indicator for people’s receptivity. They might be open to the obvious elephant in the room. At the very least whites should be able to have a dating site like other races and groups, full of the possibility of love and positive welfare for ourselves. Right?! Lol
People like a seemingly inherently righteous cause.

But also, thanks to Leo for being creative and putting up his work.

[Aster]

I tend to like going at my own pace. I have an old shoulder injury (that could get reinjured), and one time I randomly decided to take up yoga again, the yoga class I went to was all shoulder-focused that day, lol. Girls were doing handstands/headstands against the wall and such.

[Aster]

Thanks, Tony. I do like the different perspectives of the Eden and Adam and Eve story. Opposite interpretations (seemingly) of the same thing are entertaining. With regard to the serpent in the story being either evil or good, generally speaking.

I should use places like odysee more. I haven’t gotten hooked onto them. I need more anchoring channels for myself on them that aren’t already on youtube.

Do you have any opinions on Aryans or the Madame Blavatsky quote? I mean, this thread can turn into anything, and I appreciate what Leo shared by the way. That and DNA testing needs to be a thread unto itself.

[Aster]

Youtube definitely isn’t what it used to be, but it does have easy entertainment. Too easy, actually; it’s annoying the amount of dumb stuff I get distracted by lol. Help

[Aster]

@gojirafanboi
Hey Tony, thanks. Are there any video links in particular you would recommend? Or anything you’ve enjoyed lately from the creators you mentioned?

[Aster]

Georgia has really easy weather and climate 😅. Also named after King George II. It’s THE place to be, and I’m not biased at all.

[Aster]

@Wakstar Maybe you’re right. I’ve heard conflicting things, but didn’t look it up until now. His father seems to be Jewish. He has a video of his DNA results, where it says he’s 50% Iranian. I’m sure he likes Iranians’ connections with Aryans.

The Last Unicorn (1982) is a nice animated movie, in which a unicorn tries to find out what happened to the rest of her kind and save them. Das Letzte Einhorn is the German version.
I like the soundtrack; the band America collaborated on it.

It can be quite touching:

[Aster]

My current method is telepathically telling squirrels to find me one 🐿️

[Aster]

@Ted I have no good comeback at the moment unfortunately. Well, I did, but it’s only funny to me unfortunately 😢 I’ll just keep it between me and Gu-odd.

[Aster]

I love the XXXL suit idea.

Okay, if you can do that, I’ll go out with you.

[Aster]

It might help to try to portray the far-right as on the same side as women. That’s part of why feminism is so successful, it being seen as pro-women. And it’s human nature to find people/ideologies that are “on your side,” or in your own interest. Essentially, the sports team you’re on lol. The far-right is usually seen as anti-women, at least there is a “hint” of that, and it attracts men who have issues with women.

[Aster]

@Ted
I hear you. I don’t believe in god, I believe in Gawd, as I’m from the South. You’ll never understand. Although if you can pronounce that you can be an honorary Southern.

Hmm, that’s not your age on your profile 🧐. This is a no-bamboozling zone here.

—

Also, everyone brings up good points. I like conscious subconscious reprogramming. And I think of the power of spells as referring to the power of words and language, and belief.

[Aster]

The Soviet 1968 version of Little Mermaid has a pretty art style and is quite creative, imaginative, and stylistic, though a little primitive with its animation.

[Aster]

It says my post is awaiting moderation – I tried to link to the Soviet 1968 version of Little Mermaid. I’ll just post a picture because its art style is so pretty.

[Aster]

There’s something to the Russian/Soviet cartoons. The Childhood of Ratibor is a good one, here’s a clip –

[Aster]

I tried watching It’s a Wonderful Life with my brother, and I couldn’t get him to watch it without wearing earplugs, so we gave up at the 10 or 15 minute mark lol. The guy’s drawl was just too annoying lol. Not to take away from others’ points here haha, and sorry to offend if anyone naturally has that drawl

[Aster]

That picture should have said “chocolate cheese” would fascinate a woman. Chocolate cheese fudge, or something like that. It’s wonderful. I mean, it’s going to be fascinating if you’ve never had it before.

[Aster]

@Ted I appreciate your efforts. But you’re biased against spells! I thought you weren’t exactly into spirituality. …Or the paranormal?

[Aster]

I’m kind of wanting cheese now. I haven’t bought cheese in months. Who will do the honors of fascinating me with a piece of chreese 😏

Oh, it looks like my picture isn’t working anymore. Well, nevermind.

[Aster]

Oh God, I’m sorry to everone who’s embarrassed by this thread

[Aster]

Ahh… I’ll make sure to keep cheese in my backpack. Thanks. And tater tots in my pocket.

[Aster]

You’re still pretty young at 34, but if your heart is in having a surrogate baby, then it’s not an impossibility. Your heart has to be in it.

Of course, the mom would be more suited to taking care of the newborn. A lot of this might be unexplored terrain, and not commonly discussed. So I would seek out fathers who have done this same thing or something similar and learn from them.

[Aster]

And maybe instead of “projected onto you,” you could say “to be inspired by you”

[Aster]

@Hunter You have to understand that women, at least for myself, (and also men) can’t help who they’re attracted to in a certain context, and on the internet the frequency of attraction will be much less so. Selfishness doesn’t have to be wrong, it can just be advancing one’s interests. And it seems like the internet is in large part projection; you kind of have to do it because you’re so far-removed from people. Women may not be finding something very attractive to project onto you in the online sphere, even though you are still worthy of love. Your “worthy-of-love” qualities aren’t very apparent to them.
I’m sorry about the situation with your parents.

[Aster]

@AphroditeHeart Your profile picture is really pretty. Did you get that from somewhere?

[Aster]

[Aster]

Oh yeah, there’s Hildegard von Bingen. I also “follow” her, lol. Though I wouldn’t want to become a nun. ElizeB’s post reminds me of her and her music, and the Harpa Dei sibling group.

[Aster]

Hmm it seems like there was technical issue with my post. Also, I meant good things by “cult following”!

[Aster]

I really like Yolande Norris-Clarke. She’s one of the most intelligent people I know. Definitely check her out if you’re a woman interested in birth/freebirth, or the birth world, but I like her other stuff too, like self-healing. She’s had 10 kids, most of them freebirthed. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/B3L7tILNA3Q – her latest youtube short
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1qLF1vA5u7/
She took all her long-form videos down a year or two ago. She was criticizing covid-related stuff. But she has a bit of a cult following outside of youtube/instagram.

[Aster]

Don’t worry, I’m just kidding around a lot. I agree, a lot of it is interesting. I’m just taking things lightly here.
My liver burgers did have ground chuck in them too; I didn’t quite master them though, haha.

[Aster]

I don’t eat liver haha. But you’re making me hungry talking about it! I’m so sick of chocolate at the moment, give me a heart and liver patty! I’m sure they make it more palatable than how I used to make liver burgers 😬

[Aster]

I’m very sorry I made the ancient aliens joke, but, you can’t disprove it! Haha Or maybe you can haha

I think things like Hamer’s “German New Medicine” and more subconscious ways of looking at health are trending lately.
Great thoughts. There are lots of possibilities and ways of being.
And sometimes the possible isn’t always probable (like veganism cough cough).

Strong beliefs play into so much, but I think as time goes by, and beyond this lifetime, consciousness continues to expand, so breakthroughs will happen at some point.

[Aster]

I would venture to say that the mind and subconscious mind are more powerful than most diets, supplements, medicines, and more, but I would also say that many of my notions are theoretical and/or taken or derived from others lol. It’s always great to find something that works for oneself though.

[Aster]

Thanks for the info. I definitely value meat, meat and also chocolate lol. I just want to counteract meat’s villainization and the current disregard for it in our society. And as you said, subconscious beliefs are a huge deal, affecting physical health.

[Aster]

And I was just thinking, it’s always possible we could be part ancient alien, and that’s why some Euro populations are so tall lol

[Aster]

Hi Sonnenbaum,
I do hear about vitamin C to bowel tolerance occasionally, but I just don’t know enough of the details, and am kind of wary of supplements sometimes.
Did you watch the first 5 or 10 minutes of the video I linked? I didn’t even watch the full video, but it’s interesting when he talked about the form of ascorbic acid found in meat that’s absorbed thousands of times more easily than vitamin C. And then he talks about other antioxidants that humans might prefer and that are less reactive, like glutathione.

Niacinamide gave me bleakness, but that’s interesting that it or niacin can do the opposite.

I read that the tallest European populations have used dairy, or maybe drink milk, the heaviest, and dairy does assist in growth, growth factors, nutrition… so there’s that. And normally, cold climates could shorten people’s limbs to help with heat retention.

[Aster]

The one common denominator for a healthy diet, for me, is some meat or at least well-tolerated animal products. A lot of other minor things are sort of relative or in moderation, and there is so much contradictory stuff in the health sphere! Even vitamin C

And niacin might be great for most, but when I’ve taken niacinamide before at the smallest dose, I felt horrible.

And I thought the reason why some European populations are so tall or big was because of dairy consumption, and that came with the steppe/Indo-European cattle herders I think. And/or the steppe herders were already tall (maybe because of dairy consumption).

Great musical suggestions. I second Skald.

@AeonKnight
I love La Follia. Well, Corelli’s version and this playing of it especially with Hesperion XXI and Jordi Savall:

La Folia – “Its distinctive chords first developed out of the folk music of late 15th-Century Portugal, where it was used in popular festivals.”
Apparently Britney Spears’ Oops I Did It Again has the same chord progression 😂

[Aster]

I wish Faun would tour the US.

[Aster]

I know I said I liked the forums concept, but it’s also pretty hard for me personally at the same time.

[Aster]

It was also a self-deprecating joke, if that helps a little.

[Aster]

There’s conscioussingles.com “A dating site for those who value Freedom and Sovereignty” it came up as sponsored in a google.com search

Re: Benito My jokes can be pretty ridiculous. It was a joke about kombucha as a replacement for beer, and it had more layers to it. I was making fun of the troll I was responding to.

[Aster]

Someone thought I was a fake account, and some of the women I’ve looked at on here seem real enough, so we aren’t all mossad agents.

[Aster]

Women do like a good expression of interest from the guy, that’s true.
Most of the guys aren’t involved in the forums either. I like the forums concept here though.

[Aster]

Women don’t exactly want to be pursued; I’m not sure what you mean. If women are still logging in, they should be seeing guys’ messages; they just aren’t that interested based on what they can tell at the time.

[Aster]

Re: @WelshmanNorman The more people who participate in the forums, the better – it paints a bigger picture of someone. But then again, there’s a reason they’re being reserved. Maybe if there were more mundane goings-on in the forums here, people would open up. Although noncontroversiality might be boring… for us and for the people who hate this site. Looks like drama is the only way. Didn’t the Buddha say that?

[Aster]

Exactly. Put your best foot forward first, then put what she/he might think is your worst foot, forward :-). Hopefully there aren’t too many limps!

[Aster]

If it was someone I really liked, and he had differing religious beliefs, I would still give it a try, but I would try to suss out any potential issues I would have with it early on, and issues he would have with me not sharing in it.

[Aster]

@RiverRavenFarm thanks for the in-depth posts. Do you have an idea why mass market DNA companies sometimes show anomalous ancestry results like the ones WelshmanNorman mentioned?

[Aster]

@Ted
My jokes aren’t cruel 😄, just sometimes, very very extremely rarely, bad. Actually that itself was the joke, or could have been!

[Aster]

There’s an association with some of these views as not being female-friendly, so it’s harder to win over women.

[Aster]

@Ralf
Our culture has made the views of the women you speak of, for the most part. Many women still would put aside their job for having kids. Going to college has just become the norm, and young adult women, are just following the norm. I certainly didn’t give a second thought to it when I was that young. That’s what success is defined as in our culture, and it also puts off the real world as it’s a continuation of edumacation.

I don’t understand the child-free movement though. It must have something to do with the rise in antinatalist thought.
When it comes to women being choosy with men, I think it would help if we had in-person community. The internet is an inhuman judgmental place.

[Aster]

There’s going to be a big surplus of Eastern European women sadly due to the Russia-Ukraine war. I was going to make a joke about mail-order Russian husbands, but… it would have been bad.

Haha. Hopefully the fake profiles aren’t too annoying.

@WelshmanNorman I know, I just wanted to make a joke

Do you remember which company it was for the twins example and for the dog example?
@Tradiman Which genotyping or ancestry service did your son use?

It’s a confusing field for me, so I just stopped paying attention, even though I was interested years ago and could be interested again. 23andme was changing their ancestry algorithm over the years, and it was also trying to deduce which generations acquired the ethnic admixtures, which seemed off to me. Who do ya trust?

It would be interesting to learn your Y haplogroup. And what percentage of Neanderthal if you’re able to find out. But I still wonder how accurate their ancestry algorithms are, for the minute percentages under 1%, and what biases companies have in their analysis. It’s also not full genome sequencing, more like a representative sample.

How about instead of a nice cold beer, a nice store-bought kombucha served up? Unless you want to chance serving homemade kombucha, but it might poison him … Don’t ask me how I know… 😬😢 Shhhh…

My point was a little incomplete and only really replying to the posts on the 4th page that I read lol, but I was trying to get across the multitude of variables involved besides the age of the man or woman involved. Life is so complex, and still mysterious in spite of big science, and unexpected circumstances arise despite the ideals envisioned.

I say, follow your heart, instead of relying on statistics for which sex could die earlier/become senile or who could be infertile. There are many exceptions to manmade rules. We need as much hope as we can get, anyway. Hopelessness is the mind-killer. I think many of us have our heart in the right place.

Women who want to have kids will sometimes obsess over the disappointing stats they’re presented with and how they’re treated as “geriatric mothers” in their mid-thirties, and then the next day an obscure study or a friend will topple the science. I have a link on my profile about women’s egg quality because of this. I’m not against reason and experience, mainly just defeatist statistics, I guess.

Follow my ideas at your own risk. You could also enlist a helper to read certain messages if you really want to have them read.

[Aster]

I guess calling them out could anger them more, but then everyone else would know about them

[Aster]

To Kaeighlee – What if you posted their usernames here, and called them out? If you feel like you have no recourse. Or you could ignore their messages, as in don’t look at them when you see the username that sent a message.
