This is why many of them have anime-like facial expressions. An excess of social activity makes *you* feel like there's something you're missing out on

Invariably, on further examination, you'll find that there's nothing of value beneath the surface. All social life is like this

When a large number of people congregate and make a scene, this makes people turn their heads and think there's something worthwhile happening

You start off life worried that you're missing out on something, but as you grow up, you realise it was just a false pretence of freedom

Everyone in the group is deluding themselves in a similar fashion, and they're smugly aware that they're attracting other people's attention.

The hope is that there will be a generic buzz of activity in which they don't have to confront serious existential issues.

This is another phenomenological ingredient of what makes women appealing. Their frivolity makes for light, relaxing company.

This goes beyond women, though. This dynamic is what accounts for all degenerate socialising. See the comments on this tweet:

Titania (Andrew Doyle) McGrifter is a good example of this.

You're attracted to it at first because of the flurry of activity that surrounds it. It's a source of social excitement, but after a while you realise that it's a repetitive, self-serving Twitter account.

To repeat: all social life is like this.

There is a collective ambition of creating a flurry of activity, because this creates a generic buzz in which you no longer have to be serious and self-denying (which is what's really required for God's will to prevail on Earth).

This is the will-to-life, afraid of being abandoned and out in the cold. The basis of social behaviour.

Warm-blooded animals snuggle up and engage in playful conviviality as a means of "bonding", i.e. protecting themselves against coldness and death.

Humans still feel this fear, and women especially. This is why they need cuddles. There is this perpetual fear of being left behind.

When they finally satisfy themselves in this regard, it feels empty and without purpose, just like eating food when you're not hungry.

When they pursue it too much, they feel ashamed and guilty (like you do when eating too much food). They worry that they seem like an excessive burden on the group.

Non-human animals don't get this, because they are honest when a member of the group is annoying them.

In today's world, this has reached an insane extent. You are not allowed to judge anyone. There is no predation on the social plane. You are encouraged to be as stupid as you like, because clownish behaviour benefits the capitalist classes. They want you to degrade yourself.

The more clownish and fevered the behaviour, the more people gravitate towards it (esp. in their younger naive years). This is profitable for the capitalist classes, even though it makes young people ashamed, anxious and depressed (which is blamed on traditional norms of shame).

"The only thing in the way of paradise is tradition! Stop shaming people and let them live to the utmost!"

This is how the dominant ideology of our time views things. The capitalists think they're liberators, and that tradition is stubbornly opposed to human happiness.
