       Returning to the topic of "simping", the problem is not devotion
       as such, but rather the vacancy-filling mindset of some "simps"
       who simply want to "pick up" a girl. Thankfully, this "cold
       approach" behavior is socially taboo in countries such as India,
       but feminists will make excuses if the "simp" is "White". and in
       some cases, will even lump genuine romantic devotion in with the
       simpers and outright excuse the behavior of the PUAs as it
       increases their SMV. "Traditionalists" (and I use that term
       lightly) are also no help in this matter as they will not only
       lump in romantics with PUAs, but will also exhibit the same
       vacancy filling approach in arranged marriage.
       Islam seems good in that it establishes social etiquette in
       mixed gender settings so as to avoid sexual tension, but modern
       day attempts to implement Islam in India will almost invariably
       lead to authoritarianism and sexual repression reminiscent of
       the Victorian era, along with the promulgation of negative
       non-Aryan attitudes, so this is not a solution for the country.

       "some "simps" who simply want to "pick up" a girl"
       Doesn't that contradict the very definition of "simping", which
       is doing it for nothing in return?
       "this "cold approach" behavior"
       Exactly. "Cold approach" =/= "simping". There already exists a
       term for the former, so why use the latter term to refer to the
       same phenomenon when it is supposed to describe a different
       phenomenon?

       Western inferior view on sociability
       --- Quote ---
       > Susan Cain, author of the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts
       in a World That Can't Stop Talking, argues that modern Western
       culture misjudges the capabilities of introverted people,
       leading to a waste of talent, energy, and happiness.[20] Cain
       describes how society is biased against introverts, and that,
       with people being taught from childhood that to be sociable is
       to be happy, introversion is now considered "somewhere between a
       disappointment and pathology".

       prophesied: “By the turn of the century, there may not be one
       black playing the tour.” Dey had a perfectly sensible reason for
       his prediction: Most black pros of his time started as caddies,
       but motorized golf carts were replacing human bag carriers. So,
       fewer blacks would get introduced to golf while young.

       --- End Quote ---
       In other words, if we want more "black" golf pros, "blacks"
       should return to being caddies? Fortunately I don't want more
       (or any) "black" golf pros.

       As a child, I was forced to attend birthday parties of
       classmates* despite never wanting to go. They are among my worst
       memories. Compulsory schooling was bad enough, but at least it
       could be blamed on (Western) law. Attending birthday parties is
       absolutely not required by law, but that my parents forced me to
       go nevertheless proves that adherence to Western culture is an
       even deeper problem than obedience to Western law.
       (* At least I kept the tiniest sliver of dignity in not once
       inviting any classmates to my birthdays.)

       My parents (specifically father) was thankfully decolonized
       enough to reject this Western degeneracy. Unfortunately, the
       same was not true of my relatives.

       I noticed how in non Western countries, there is no custom of
       calling someone before you show up to their house. In Western
       countries, this seems to be the norm. This has led to a very
       formal type of relationship. This probably also has something to
       do with the inherent selfishness of the nuclear family (i.e.
       "this is my house for me and my children"). In contrast the non
       Western approach, while not eschewing away the concept of
       private property, emphasizes that we all share the same living
       space (including non humans). I have some relatives who have
       lived in the United States since the 1980s that behave very
       formally like such.
