I've never had any idea what people mean when they describe themselves as "spiritual".
Anyone got any ideas? Has always sounded like a load of bloody woo woo to me.

I had a Game Gear. Truly a magnificent thing, and I say that with no exaggeration or irony.

Bit of commentary on this sort of thing incoming.
If this is actually real, it serves her right. If it's made up, it doesn't really matter, because there are plenty of women who do things like this.
You'd have to write a book to list all of the reasons for the decline in the formation and longevity of relationships. The consequences of liberalism, feminism, individualism, family breakdown, and the effects of technology (especially since the smart phone, social media, and dating apps) are all part of it.
Within all of that, one of the many reasons is that men are often less eager to a commit to a woman than they may have been a generation ago, let alone two or three generations ago. Because while I don't doubt that there are many women who are happier single or at least prefer some things about being single, women don't half spend a lot of time lamenting the fact that men aren't as interested in commitment as they'd like them to be.
There are in turn a lot of reasons for that declining interest in commitment. Some of them fall into the category of "why buy the cow when the milk is cheap?", i.e. more women will put out easily than would have been the case when society was patriarchal and less liberal, and the hypergamous nature of women means that the sort of men they consider relationship material can usually have several women about as desirable as them on the go in exchange for little to no commitment, and/or eventually find a more appealing one and commit to her.
Other things contributing to it are women tending to be less feminine, less likeable, less grateful, more difficult, more entitled, more mentally unstable, and more disagreeable than would have been the case in generations past.
But another, which is a related but separate phenomenon, is the fact that, the more "liberated" women are, and the more they can get away with without judgement, the more you see that a lot of them have behaviour like this in their nature. That nature is a lot older than feminism, liberalism, Instagram, or OnlyFans.
The more of this sort of thing a man has seen and heard about during his life, the more cynical he's going to be about women.
Women would no doubt point out that men can be as bad when it comes to using women for the obvious, and often pretending they want an actual relationship in order to get it. But that's yet another argument for a return to patriarchy and chastity.
But there you go. The more people can get away with, the more you find out about how decent they really are - men and women alike.
At the end of the day, I can only really talk about a man's cynicism, because as a man, it's women I've been looking at for getting on 30 years and thinking "apparently you're meant to find someone you want to spend your entire life with and be ready to die for out of this lot."

Jez had some tidy looking women in Peep Show.
Nancy was nice. Big Suze (Jew I know but still) was nice. Aurora wasn't bad either, and Elena was alright.

Tell you something in Peep Show that was quite relatable. When that Cally believed in the power of crystal skulls and demanded that Mark (pretended to) believe in them as well.
They're into some daft stuff. They almost all go on about astrology now for one thing.

Another thing in Peep Show that's quite accurate (yes, I'm re-watching it at the moment):
When Jez is head over heels for Elena and notices that he's actually enthralled listening to her go on about her day at work when it's exactly the kind of thing that bores the arse off him coming from anyone else.
That really does happen when you get attached to someone. Then and only then.

Women seem to really like 'She's Electric' by Oasis.
Presumably because they all like to imagine themselves as the subject of the song, i.e. the apparently "electric" woman.

I reckon part of the reason it was so easy to get them branding every bloke they meet a "narcissist" is that the mere suggestion that someone else might have started playing what they consider to be their game and their game only, outrages them.

BAFTAs host Alan Cumming delivered a message after the ceremony was interrupted by Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson yelling the N-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage:
“You may have noticed some strong language in the background there, this can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience”
Cumming later said he was sorry if anyone was offended and that “the tics are involuntary”

This is me between Christmas and New Year of 2020, attempting to impersonate Johnny Davidson wandering around Matalan (plus his overlaid account of what it's like to have Tourette's), as seen in the 2009 documentary, Tourette's: I Swear I Can't Help It.
