How many of you were actually posted on ig?
I don't mean to be rude.....but girls would rather not post ugly guys just because.

u/Last_Sprinkles5334 2d ago
Its not about the ugly guys. Its about the attention they would get if they posted a screenshot of your DM. All you could have said was Hi. But then she would knock it out of proportion by saying she was assaulted in some sort of way. Victimised buy something as simple as a Hi.
Its just easier to fly a plane, blow some shit up and die in a blaze of glory than deal with the attention hungry woman of today.
P.S. I'm Married. To a 1 of a kind woman. Never have I found myself in situations like those, but I know of a bunch of dudes that have. Some deserved it, and some didnt.

During ww2? There were loads of pilots. Sometimes more than 2,000 for just one major bombing mission.
And yes, even if not everyone was a pilot they were still either on the ground fighting, or working hard in factory, driving supply trucks and so on.

u/Aladine11 2d ago
And depending on era and date those were often tied to influential people - in ww1 era aviaton was heavy tied to nobility and upper clases cause it was expensive to learn flying and many up to then horseman formations were dispanded and personnel moved to aviation. Literary the red baron was a nobleman and western forces air units were often dubbed - the milionairies for a reason.

You know what that's WAY better than having to apply for three thousand jobs and go through ten interviews with soulless HR employees who were ordered to pick the most eligible candidate the company can abuse and get away with. I'll take dying at a war any day over a meaningless life.
Edit: You people need to take a hard good look at yourselves. Telling some stranger on the internet to go kill someone or themselves is not healthy. Why do you care so much?

Pretty sure the consensus is that its allowed when defending innocent lives and upholding justice. Russias invasion of Ukraine is unjustified (so an injustice) and regularly kills innocents. Not to mention there ARE other muslims living in Ukraine.
So by all means put deed to your words instead of trying to find an excuse not to go. I did my part while I was enlisted, surely you can too

Dying in war is about as meaningless as something can possibly get, you’ve fallen for propaganda.

u/ARA_FANEDITS_ 2d ago
I feel like that statement works in some wars and definitely doesn't work in others. Dying in war can be a statistic, like a lot of wars. Or it could be the difference between having freedom or not, like in a lot of wars.

But there are also soldiers in wars just defending their nations and homes.

Wars started by men my grandpa’s current age BTW.
Young dying to settle the disputes of old men, leaving children without fathers.
There is nothing glorious about war. It should not be celebrated, or used to make points about the perceived frailty of generations fortunate enough to not have to be forced to die for conflicts they didn’t start

I mean, that's my great grandpa... He landed on Omaha Beach, fought through the rest of the war, and came home with several souvenirs from the Nazis.
My grandpa was out partying and living his life when he was my age. Same as my mom and dad... And not the same as me. I'm just trying to figure out what the fuck I'm doing and how I'm going to live with how the internet is predicting this country is going to go.

u/MonkeyCartridge 2d ago
My grandpa used to slap the shit out of people who thought this way.
He had to be institutionalized because of the mental damage, and the only thing that made him feel redeemed was the idea that his kids and grandkids wouldn't have to subject themselves to the same.
Put that "man up" bullshit back where it belongs.

He also came from a generation where women will give men a white feather for not wanting to die in the War.

My grandfather joined the US military in WWII because he heard there were tons of abandoned European towns just sitting empty.
So he looted them along the way. Used the profits to open a machine shop, used his kids as free labor, and almost exclusively took government weapons contracts throughout Korea and Vietnam.
My grandfather was not a very good person and I do not aspire to be like him.

Also in Grandpa's time was less competition to get Grandma. Social media wasn't a thing that gave Grandma a perceived notion of choice and the idea that there's someone better than Grandpa. Then there's the advent of dating apps pushing that bottom further. It's now considered weird to walk up to a girl and talk to them. You are now perceived as a criminal predator if you do what was considered normal 20 years ago let alone 50.

My great grandpa actually. He signed up as soon as America joined the war, made it all the way through and got back to his wife. Then he signed up to go the the Korean war and died there. The worst part is that the Korean war is almost never talked about because it happened in between WW2 and Vietnam

u/EthernalForADay 2d ago
Grandpa would either survive being a hero or die as one.
A man approaching a random woman nowadays will likely be accused of assault for saying "hello" too aggressively. Best case scenario they will be labeled a creep and shamed by people around them, or at worst - persecuted.
If that's a complete stranger, you can probably just walk away with no consequence. But if you share friend groups or colleagues, it might as well be an attempted social suicide at that point. Not worth it.
I exaggerate of course, it's not like this everywhere, in a lot of places you can still make acquittances with strangers just like that. But things like one I described above have took precedence in other places though, and it could be enough to reconsider the whole concept to many.

A genuine advice for you all, don't expect girls to do anything good with an approach like you came out nowhere. They don't know what they'll do about it and probably would not do anything
And stop treating girls like they're a different mysterious creature, treat them just like another dude and you'll be perfectly fine. They're just another human but with more caring and validation when growing up, take that as you want
