Viands

I’m having a bit of trouble re-adjusting after having been in Europe for a little while.

The food in the US is so bad. So very bad. The best bakery in the US is about as good as the bottom-tier bakeries in much of Europe.

Food you can get in gas stations there is often better than “high-end” restaurants here.

Mechanisms

I know this makes me a rank misogynist, but a lot of above-average attractive women get very angry when the tool they are used to using (their beauty) to achieve some goal completely fails to work on you, even though it’s fairly clear that you are straight.

To be fair, I kind of understand, but being that used on most men it’s such a powerful tool, it’s really shocking to them when you are unswayed by it. Most get angry. Some are just confused. Some persist in a weird kind of confused desperation.

Sure, fairness of face might’ve worked on me when I was 15, but these days, I just don’t care. I actually trust the beautiful less than anyone else because not always but often beauty means you haven’t had to develop much of a personality.

To be fair, it also confuses men when I don’t even notice and don’t ogle attractive women that they for some reason want me to see. Fuck I just don’t care. Probably a horrible person even though her butt looks good in slacks. Doesn’t mean I want to know her.

So basically, I’m a misanthrope. Woo.
