@lunarlegion5518 I know it sounds mean and harsh what I said about your asexuality but I really feel like you can't really talk about attraction from a neutral perspective.
The way our current economy, our world is pretty much structured is a 2 way system. You are either left or right wing, you are either Trump or Biden, you are for communism or a full blown capitalist. It all comes down to being on one side and creating as much space to others. It is consumerism on it's most basic level, you either buy or don't.
And the same is happening with attraction. There are only really 2 options now, swiping right or left. Liking someone or not.
These grey areas of appreciating the attractive features while leaving out the unattractive ones is only when you know the person for a couple of years, which brings us back to isolation.
This is the big question you put in the room.
Is the in/cel community the right thing right now?
No. The community is toxic in many parts and the sense of belonging is only an illusion.
Are there any real alternatives?
No. For men there are no real groups that are not extremist of some sorts.
Religions, politics, even PUA groups, all are on the verge of extremism, always looking for the next great enemy.
So what is the solution?
To be honest community. Making small groups of a few 100 to 500 people who live together, work together, eat together.
This way, putting millions of people in one place with work that disenfranchises them?
It's not gonna work, at least not without high rates of stress and depression.
But I personally think, and this might be because generally I look at things negatively, that nothing will change and we will at some point reach the limit. Of consumerism, of expansion, of everything.
And then the 20th century rewinds.
Communities will be parties. Politicians and Leaders will be gods.
The only moral codex is an empty stomache.
