        I was pressed into doing this once. I was playing with a university orchestra on a “spring mission trip” to Brazil, which was 6 days of us playing concerts around the country and being tourists, so, awesome, and 1 day of us helping remodel a church, which was fine, until they slapped a bunch of pamphlets in my hand and I found myself walking the streets of Rio de Janeiro, a trio of white, non-Portuguese speaking 20-year-olds trying to convince people they’d been wrong all their lives.

        I certainly wasn’t a Christian before that, but that experience 100% drove the nail into the coffin of my religion.

              My own experiences, memory of which is thankfully dimmed by years, and my present-day experiences tell me that late-teen and college-age humans ought to have the fewest problems telling “grown-ass” people they’re doing it wrong.

    It looks like that graph shows a gradual plateau, actually. For as obviously absurd as it is, that’s still more self-awareness than I would expect of Faz.

    Although maybe he’s set it up so the graph is over a lifelong period and that plateau occurs somewhere around age 250.

      It may also be a recognition of… Please forgive me for this phrasing…. As arousal is something that fades with time, that plateau may be a theoretical saturation point, where he is arousing further ladies, while others are leaving his radius of effect and therefore becoming unaroused.

            Quick Google search Incel, Involuntary celebit men who blame women for “unfairly” refusing to date/have sex with them they generally think its because they aren’t handsome enough. Its actually because of there attitude towards women. Instead of working to improve themselves they hate women and men who date women.
            MGTOW Men going there own way, men who have sworn off women, seems to range from okish to ranting about how the world favors women.

        Of course, if you know the movie, the scene in which the music plays has 007 being pursued by one of the villain’s hit gangs, who are being led by a particularly nasty KGB assassin. And whatever the production paid the stunt performers, it wasn’t enough.

          I admit, I’m completely uncaring about real life psychology or consequences with Amber and want her to embrace her dark avenger of the night persona completely. Then we can follow her Dexter style around campus as she rids Indiana of rapists.

        He’s actually almost 16 and while I won’t argue the level of the sex drive at that age, most kids manage to keep it a bit less obvious – even if it’s just because they’re embarrassed and scared of rejection.
        Faz appears to lack any filters or the concept of embarrassment.

      Well, his social graces appear about on the same level.
      He still has enormous apparent self-confidence though, knowing that his sexual conquests are just around the corner. Judging by a comment from his first appearance, he’s currently more on the edges of the PUA community.
      He won’t see himself as an incel until that fails him, he accepts that he’s not going to get laid regularly and blames women in general for it.

We have two major problems in our party: We have a courage problem and we have a competition problem. Because we don't challenge the status quo or people who are in safer blue seats nearly enough, we [end up with certain] candidates who get really comfortable. [highlighted by me] And if there's anything that I've learned from activism and organizing, it's that comfortable people — especially politicians — do not change.
