No, because those direct voting means that all people can make an educated decision on a topic. But a politicians job is exactly to free us from this work. Nobody wants to constantly mingle with politics when they can rather watch a movie or read a book.
I have severe acne, and I tried every treatment on earth, but it turned out that eating oily/fatty food caused my acne. I didn't discover this until in my late 20's. I still get acne at my 40's, if I eat too much fatty food. I can take a burger in a day at most and be fine, but adding fried food and meat definitely is not good for my complexion. Try cutting out certain types of food for a week.
I started after seeing a dance movie, and wanted to learn to dance like that. I actually like it, and I often get compliments. And yes, dancing in clubs makes it so easy to meet women, as I discovered later. It then slowly became a strategy.
If you really enjoy it, then great. As long as you didn't keep at it for so many years merely as a way to meet women.
But what else do you enjoy doing? There are meetups and organizations of people doing almost any activity out there. Maybe explore some other interests and find groups of people who do those things. You'll get exposed to a whole different group of women that way.
I'm too focused on physical aspect -- my mistake, but don't know how to change that. I'm about to end a 9mo relationship with a girl that loves me, but I can't pass over not finding her very attractive.
And the girls which are very attractive, don't find me attractive for them.
Also, on the ones that were nice, I considered them without ambition, eg. spending the weekend on Facebook (when not going out together), beauty salons, superficial discussions with friends, while I'm always learning/reading/doing sideprojects. Even though we discussed about it, we couldn't find a solution for me just to accept this, rather than hoping they'd work on something more meaningful.
It sounds like you have no respect for your partner(s). In the comment above you said they weren't attractive; in this comment you said that what they like to do is meaningless.
If you want to live in a long term relationship, you need to stop comparing your partner to some arbitrary idea of what women should be like.
Respect your partner, and try to see the world from their point of view. Different things are "meaningful" to different people. Don't get stuck on whatever you consider to be your values.
Instead of dismissing your partners habits, try to learn more about them. Learn why they like going to the beauty salon, ask them what it's like, find out why this is meaningful to them.
How old are you? I used to be like you (learning/reading/doing sideprojects) but with time I've steered towards just living - i.e. hanging out with friends or wasting time on HN like today ;) I think women on average reach that phase much faster, because, as opposed to us men, their attractiveness to the opposite sex does not largely depend on how accomplished they are.
