I mean, his strategy didn't work - but what is disturbing is that there are women who have low self esteem or were raised to be submissive and "traditional", and his behavior acts as a filter, so that only those women will date him ...

    Therapy is a great idea for every brain owner

    Christian fundamentalist women are the most likely to be skeptical of therapy and to prefer pastoral guidance over therapy, unfortunately - also, I have my own doubts that therapy alone would be sufficient, but it's still better than nothing

    My partner had parents that used therapy as a boogie man to get her to behave or it was for people that had something wrong with them (and you don't have something wrong with you, right?). That made it real hard to bring it up as something that might be of use. I don't doubt many people have similar experiences that make them adverse to seeking therapy, which is too bad because those are going to be people that could benefit greatly from it.

    To be fair, maybe his strategy did work.

    It expedited the whole process real fast.

    That's why I would always talk about religion and politics on the first date. It's gonna come up, it's most likely gonna introduce a deal breaker (Americans suck), so let's check early.

    "Who does that on the first date? You're weird, Explodicle!" Yeah I know, weird dates only please.

    The older I get the more absurd it sounds to me whenever anyone tells me "keep social/romantic life and politics separate!"

    No. Politics relate to our fundamental values. In addition they relate to our control of the environment. There's almost nothing better to talk about than politics
