If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration will be enforced.
The United States Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this entire arbitration section.
23. Time Limit to Bring Any Claims
Whether you are subject to the “Dispute Resolution for s Not in the United States or Canada” section above, or the “Special Arbitration Provision – Dispute Resolution for s in the United States or Canada” section above, THESE LIMIT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE TO BRING ANY CLAIMS (DEFINED ABOVE), INCLUDING THE TIME TO START AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING OR A COURT ACTION (AS APPLICABLE TO YOU).

SyberianLynx
MemberI hope this is true. But some comments here kinda prove my point.
The cheetah was estabilished as a good guy, but for some he's a "fucking loser", and this kind of attitude is not reserved for sympathetic characters at all. He's not a murderer or a dog molester, he's just lonely and in a cult. Still they act like it's enough to erase everything good about him.

MemberHarsh truth : Joost b urself :) only works if you are attractive in the first place

MemberBeauty doens't come from the surface, it comes from the deep of hearth and mind.
The way you live your life shines through you and forms your charisma.
And although we look at an attractive body at first, we still will fall in love because of the persons charisma.
Someone who has an attractive body can be alone forever, if he's reckless and egocentric.

MemberIt definitely helps, but it's not an absolute necessity, there's billions of people with billions of different tastes. When people say b yourself (at least generally and when it comes from someone who's realistic about it), it's not a sort of secret formula that'll guarantee anything, it's just saying that regardless of if you put on a show or not, getting into a relationship; outside of the first step of asking someone out and just being a good person, involves things that are out of your control to a large degree. So when the odds are relatively pretty random regardless of what you do, you're usually still better off happily by yourself if you're not putting on a performance (not to mention you can't perform forever), or at minimum are the same, but you aren't wasting a lot of precious time and energy on a cure that doesn't exist.
Basically:
Take care of yourself physically as best as you can, that's all the beauty you need to strive for, regardless of results compared to others.
For your internal qualities, question what do I like and dislike about myself. Once you have a list, ask yourself why you feel that way about each. If you then feel like you have a comprehensive grasp, then you can go about changing the things YOU feel like changing so YOU feel like YOU are someone worth loving.
Finally for those internal qualities when relating to others, you do need to be respectful of communication and interaction with others, but don't mask for the sake of ONLY appealing to other people. You can change your word choice, methods of communication, tone, appeal to different forms of reason, but not what you mean and feel at your core (unless you're avoiding an unsafe situation, obviously).
Those three things are the core of the most you can do be your best self, and by extension your best chances at being appealing without going to extents beyond reason.

MemberI agree you're missing the point, and misinterpreting the comments. Most comments are being ive and expressing that the guy is worthy of feeling good about himself, and he just needs to focus his efforts elsewhere for the results they want.

MemberThank you from the bottom of my hearth for this comment.
I couldn't have written it better. I appreciate it and loved to read it.
Working on myself is always something that cannot be done by short time (of course it depends on the thing I want to change).
It's a long and (at some points) everlasting process.
But it's ok to take your time, it's ok to have flaws that break through from time to time.
In the end we're individuals, not machines.
Oh and there is nothing more appaeling in long term then beeing respectful.
An attractive body is nice and loveable, but if crap comes out of his mouth, I'm out XD
Rando'boi
MemberIt makes me really happy that you appreciate the work I put into not only writing it, but also the work put into distilling and unpacking all the ideas that are often meant to be carried with, but are often left behind by, the simple phrase "be yourself." You are definitely right that it's still easier said than done, that change is a long and sometimes "eternal" process, but I hope other people who see the comment; hopefully including mranubis, will find it useful in starting that journey. Though again, just you finding it enjoyable is already plenty, thank you for letting me know.

Don't let that get over you. Sooner or later you'll get someone you love. Back in 2020 I had the same thoughts, I felt like I would never find someone, that I would die alone. I just didn't give up and now I have an amazing boyfriend!!
What I mean about this is that you mustn't give up, one day or another you'll get the chance! Little thing, try not to hide your true self, trust in me! ^^

Memberafter reading your text i will self improve out of being 5'2 ! oh wait...
well your concerns are laudable, but this will not change a damn thing when you understand you just are enger of your environement, circumstances and context and no amount of "working on yurself :)" can change that.
can't say for gays but for straights look trumps pretty much every thing, you ether have it or you dont, i don't have and will never have, so why bother ?
Rando'boi
MemberReally? Your height? And 5'2 at that; really not far below the average range (I'm 5'5)... That's the complaint you came up with? Step one already addressed that; you're making an argument no one's standing against, all the physical beauty you need to worry about is that which you can achieve by just taking good physical care of yourself, that remains the same even if you have a more serious blemish. If you can't bring yourself to accept that, I'm not going to simply dismiss your concern as ridiculous, but you have self image problems that you need to go to counseling or therapy to sort it out for your own good.
"You are just the enger of your environment," sure for some people you can say that, but not for the kind of person that can actually make that statement. The fact you can say that is evidence that you have more than enough self awareness to self actualize beyond the limits of only looking at what your environment pushed you to be, sure it's easier said than done, but it can be and has been done. As to why bother, first and foremost it should be an answer focused on yourself, and because the whole reason you're whining is supposedly because you want a partner but can't get one, well then you have to work to achieve your goal; otherwise your words and actions are not lining up and you should reflect on why there's a discrepancy between the two, because the answer is completely up to you but you won't get it unless you're able to sort out that contradiction. Nihilism doesn't give any sort of excuse to stop walking forwards, it merely doesn't give you the excuse to the buck and exclaim some sort of universal experience and meaning like you are doing.
As someone whose Bi, I'm telling you right now you're drawing a line between straight and gay that doesn't exist and that you're flat out wrong. I see people every day who have every advantage on the "how to attract women/men check list" fumble the bag time and time again, so they're still lonely and miserable, and inversely I've seen people who have"every red flag on the checklist" and lacking the looks to back it up get into plenty of relationships, sure they also similarly fumble and when they don't it ends up toxic, but the point is that you can't just exclaim things as universal truths when the evidence against it is out in the open. Sure a lot of things are out of your hands (like your height), and there's nothing wrong with accepting that, but you're also conflating that to give up what is in your grasp to improve your odds (working on yourself). So you're right, there's things that no amount of working on yourself will change, but you're wrong to ignore all the things it does change for yourself and others.
Your problem goes beyond not being able to get a partner; at least that's what's being reflected in your response, and I can argue down all your statements and contradictions all day, but at the end of the day I can't; nor do I want to, impose my ideas onto you or the world, but I beg of you to go seek actual help. It'd be one thing if you were treating the symptom, but it sounds like you've given up on even doing just that rather than treat the actual issue. Even just finding a group that is focused on self improvement would be enough of a start. Like I already said, I'm not giving you a magic cure all solution, just a place to start and ground yourself for better prospects regardless of if you end up in a romantic relationship or not.
mranubis
MemberActually i'm past the idea of wanting a partner since i know i just don't have what it takes and never will to get that, what prompted me to respond was the empty platitudes.
I really fail to see how correcty assessing my attractiveness warrant that i need to go counseiling or therapy or some "self improvement" group that will not change anything.
but yes you are right in the fact i have given up on doing anything, i mean either i climb on the never ending "self improvement" treill that will never yield any result whatsoever, or i just give up and get nothing, well exuse me if i prefer the solution that will avoid me loss of money, time, endless stress and humiliation, it's just not worth it.
I think you have too much faith in "self improvement", sure it can help some folks and really good for them but it doesn't mean i will work for all, the expression "you can't polish a turd" exist for a reason.
Rando'boi
MemberOkay, glad to clear that up, though; again, what I said applied to more than just getting a partner, either way I can't do much more on that front than just wish you luck on whatever you endeavor.
I wasn't addressing anything about how you referring to yourself "correctly" or "incorrectly", I don't know who you are past the screen and I don't intend to ignore that fact. It was addressing another instance where you take what I'm saying and then you completely apply it so something I wasn't claiming. I advise for therapy and getting a group; not only because it's a generally useful thing to do regardless of the kind of issue ( a group is also good even without an issue), but also in the case that things you don't have control over; such as your height, are bothering you to an extent that is unhealthy. So not just a ive "I give up," but an actively harmful thing for yourself.
It really sounds like you're taking my whole advise to mean very specific things; the only reason I used a relationship as a structure because that was the main topic on display, but the whole reason I was VERY clear on the YOU aspect of it all was because the specifics depend entirely on you and what you wanted. In an isolated context; under the assumption that you "giving up" still results on you already having what you want and need without the detriment of yourself or others, then that's okay. Of course life is a treill, if you really boil it down it's all just us chasing the next dopamine hit, but that's exactly why all anyone "needs" to do is whatever they choose to (again, while respecting others also having their journey), not only for the destination, but all the possible relationships and detours along the way. If for you; as long as you are able to provide for yourself without neglecting any responsibility for someone else, that means staying as you are, then I'm not telling you to not do that, I'm just saying that you can do that without un-ironic self deprecation and without negative thoughts and emotions; that are harmful, tied to it. Then if down the line that leads to to chasing something else you want, great! If it doesn't, also great, because it's about you being okay with yourself first and foremost.
I do trust self improvement, if you actually take what I mean at face value, and the same kind of specific method won't work for everyone, that's true. Thankfully therapy, counseling, and whatever else you may need to just be okay being okay, don't rely on having to be a specific way. I mainly really only trust in you and your ability to be okay in your successes and failures, same way the cheetah's friends would believe in him. One man's turd is another man's treasure. Though seriously, "you can't polish a turd," applies to something that is inherently one way, but people have a lot of wiggle room.
Regardless of if we ultimately agree or disagree, I'd just want us to end on good , and to that end; even if you do provide a rebuttal, I'd appreciate it if this time you don't twist what I'm saying as a part of it. I wish you the best.
mranubis
Memberha ha trusting my abilities ? now that one hell of a mistake !
No, seriously, don't get me wrong even if i squarely disagree on many of the topics we discussed, i still recon that they come from a good intention and even if they won't change anything on my end, i can honestly says that is was an intersting exchange.
if you think i "twisted" what you said, this is what i understood about what you said and in this case i'll put it bluntly you thinking i "twisted" your words is your problem.
And really tone it down with the platitudes "One man's turd is another man's treasure" and "people have a lot of wiggle room" come on this is bullshit, again these are useless,meaningless and doesn't help anyone in anyway.
Again no offence taken on my end just some banter on a furry porn site at the end of the day.
Godspeed to you !

MemberWhat I meant by twisting were occasions like when I clearly stated that; at least unless we eventually end up with sci-fi levels of tech and science, I had conceded that there's limits we can't sur, and so made it clear that I was talking about our other aspects. Yet, your response was "yeah, I'll just work on my hight," as if completely ignoring what I had already made clear. If I personally took offense to you doing such things it would be my problem, but I'm not offended, I'm just pointing out how that makes it so your responses don't actually adress anything I actually said; making any actual discussion next to impossible.
The other thing you're criticizing; empty platitudes, is exactly what I was trying to show you in your response (and part of the twisting issue as well), I was putting up a mirror up to you, that's why I played around with your own words.
Sure, you claim that I'm speaking empty platitudes, but I keep responding with nuances to avoid blanket statements and assumptions, even when I come the closest; like therapy or trusting your abilities, I still add caveats such as it ultimately depending on you deciding to want it, nuances such as how there are many different kinds of therapy and no size fits all, and not ignoring the fact that I don't know you and your specific situation(s) (I'm completely open to the possibility of you being objectively the most pitiful creature to live when all is considered), even just luck being a huge factor. I'd say that's pretty far from the idealist can do persona.
Same back to you, I had a wonderful time.
mranubis
MemberWhat i tried to say when i talked about my height was that in my opinion no amount of working on "our other aspects" will counteract the disavantages of the things you have no control over, as i said it's not worth it.
My quip was just highlighting how ridiculously usless "working on our other aspects" is im my case as it will not yield anymore result as "working on my height" whitch is of course impossible and i agree with you this is the kind of limit that cannot be sured.
i wish to clarify that what as was referring as "empty platitudes" is not your reasoning which is well articulated and tought out indeed, but these (in my opinion) abhorrent and ridiculous pep talk snipets such as "just be yourself", "belive in yourself", and assorted bullshit these again (again ?) are useless,meaningless and doesn't help anyone in anyway, and sorry to be rough again "putting a mirror up to me" doesnt make these idiotic mantras anymore valid.
Good day to you.

They are,looking for answers so of course they'll be more prone to listening when someone says "Hey, I have the answer" and not seeing the warning signs and just being roped into watching self-help videos forever so they can sell more sponsorships and merch. To some people, it may be the closest they've gotten to feeling like they have control over their lives, I pity them.
