My step father was literally the Marlboro man. My mom was the primary breadwinner top level leadership of a major corporation. It didn't matter in their relationship because he was so masculine he didn't need to dominate. They both knew their roles and they both took the lead in different situations. My mother never tried to demasculinize him and I believe its why they lasted and part of why he truly loved her and did everything he could to protect and take care of her.

I think this is core. It isn't really money itself that is the issue, but people tend to use money as an easy marker of status. I couldn't care less what a guy earns and didn't even know what some of my exes were brining home. I care that they can cover their own share of the bills and not just dating me for money. But above that, I couldn't care less. However, I DO want someone taller than me, as physical security is something my brain focuses on as a marker of masculinity. I could date a tall guy who earned much less, as long as he was a decent person. I think other women are the same. Some focus on confidence as a main marker, which is where you get the 'bad boy' groupies. All are looking for 'masculinity', but different markers will attract different women.

My dad never let me feel sorry for myself and told me to shoot for the stars cause if you miss you still get the moon. He demanded effort and made sure my brother and I didn’t half ass anything.

@willcasler4809 i find that the current problem can only demand a great of a solution as a nuclear world war because that's the only way the world as a whole can start from scratch with fresh men. i say that because the watering down comes from men who were watered down by other men who were watered down by.... you see my point. current young men cannot just 'buy' strong dads and become better, a strong dad needs to raise them to BE strong men hence - my nuclear war suggestion. the war will also be beneficial because it will restore men back to necessity to push for utmost greatness in themselves which are pillars of what makes a great man, and most importantly great fathers, so, again, young men can't just buy strong dads and they can't just replace the fathers they have. my naive solution is: its 100% up to young men to realize this and change for the better, to which i would say: have you heard what Andrew Tate and young men mentors perpetuate!!! While these men are "becoming better" they're loosing a lot of time to raise and be strong dads to their sons, hence, they're still enduring the problem and not solving it. I am a strong advocate for peace which is odd considering in the same paragraph I'm promoting war but, I simply can't see any other way. the snowball has grown so large currently, stopping it would require more than it's worth...and I know that implies sacrificing men and their lives but... I JUST simply can't see any other way. I've just re-read my comment and it's probably something a military would post as an ad asking for funding in their war efforts during WW1 or something, but...again, I see no other way. I would incredibly love to hear a better solution from you.

I'm not sure if it's that specifically, I think it's more of a general status thing. No one wants to be low status, and being a stay at home mom is seen as low status. Being a mom is a lot of work done in the dark and only they and their families see the fruit of the labor. No one is going onto a podcast showing off the results of their great parenting skills. The other thing is, they don't want to have to rely on a man, but they want a man they can rely on. There's a difference of being dependent and choosing to depend on someone.

from everything i've seen, the attraction part is actually "easy". you just need to be visibly interested in, good at, and open about something, whatever it is. for example if you like music you just need to be SEEN to be enjoying it, passionate, and DOING SOMETHING about it. MAKING something happen. i'm in my 30s and only just got into my first band. should have done it 10 years ago but i was always so painfully self conscious. i still think we're garbage. doesn't matter... if you step up on a stage (even a shitty open mic stage) people are waaay more impressed than i thought they would be. everyone wants to pat you on the back and chat with you because you are "the man in the arena". i believe this signals to women "i care about something and i'm brave enough to go after it" and i believe that's what they care about most. the HARD part of all this is actually being somewhere that the right type of women are present. here in the UK they don't seem to leave the house unless they're going somewhere mainstream like a club or bar. it's so difficult to get that social proof, to have encounters with available women, and to actually get over that first hurdle towards going on a date.

Society is so celebrity driven. Even being a teacher or professor puts a person on display where others develop crushes on them. It appears where ever a person is put on display at a non threatening distance, enables another to access their attributes, possibly making them desirable. Women watching construction workers do their thing or a surgeon, etc will impress them. Many musicians have been asked, "why did you become a musician, or join a band?". Many answer the same, "to get the girls.". Many straight women like masculine men and many are looking for other types. As there are many different types of females and so on in today's society. Some aggressive and not so aggressive. If you want to meet someone with high standards then you must be aware of where you would find them. But very little is normal today. With the introduction of tvs with mega channels, home computers and other devices, people are more isolated and lonelier than ever. My heart goes out to anyone still searching for that someone special. As they say, 'many a mistake has been made in he wake of loneliness.''. And as the Chinese say, 'Life without love is a slow death'. The best to you all!

You shouldn’t need to prove all that to get a date. All you need to get the date is some balls. See a woman you like, start up a conversation with her then ask her out. Not hard if you don’t care about getting shot down. How do you do that? To answer a question with a question, why is it that you don’t experience “approach anxiety” when you start up a conversation with a man? Get it? Don’t start a conversation with a woman with the intention of getting a date. Start a conversation with a person that happens to be a woman just like if you start a conversation with a person that happens to be a man. The sex of the person should be unimportant otherwise it will come off as creepy, needy, validation seeking, etc. If you do this, instead of looking like you are seeking their approval and your self esteeem is based on you getting it or not (ie. weird and creepy) you can treat the interaction as a test of whether or not she is worthy of your time and continued persuit of a sexual encounter. But again, that is not the goal of starting the conversation just as it isn’t when you start a conversation with a guy you don’t know. If she engages you genuinely and facilitates the conversation in a jovial manner then she’s receptive. Any other reaction and she’s not. And if not then politely end the interaction. Now you can move on without feeling rejected because you weren’t seeking her approval. But you did find out something about her attitude and that disqualifies her to you. Win win. Now, if she did respond positively then keep it up. Continue the interaction the same way you would with a man. As long and the conversation is flowing in a positive direction then don’t derail it. But as soon and the conversation slows down, as it naturally should, or if there’s an awkward moment of silence, or if you just need to end it because you got your coffee and need to get back to band practice or whatever you are doing that’s more important, that’s when you need to pull the trigger. This is the point where it all changes and you no longer treat this like you would if it was a man you were taking with. You got to switch from a friendly conversation with another person to a masculine man in pursuit of, ultimately, further interaction with her of a sexual nature. Should be easy to get the first date now and she didn’t need to see you performing for her attention. And the fact that you have an artistic ambition will be something that naturally comes up next time you see her. Plus it will increase her attraction to you so you are practically guaranteed a second date. You don’t know how well set up you are my friend. Now all you got to do is find your balls. 😂 Good luck mate

The problem is the obsession with this debate. Mapping storytelling archetypes onto real human beings is super easy when you live in a consumerist society because the outer world directly informs the inner world - so in the 1950s you buy a pack of Marlboro Reds, reinforcing your self-image as a “Marlboro Man”. In the same way, women buy a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey not because they have any interest in the individual personality of the character, but precisely because they want the most generic, archetypal, unreal simulation of a masculine domination. It is no more or less representative of what they ACTUALLY want than someone who identifies with Harry Potter ACTUALLY wants to be a wizard. They are simply storytelling archetypes, perpetuated by an abundance of self-serious podcasts made by gym bros aimed at 18-35 year old men having hours-long pseudo-philosophical debates about whether the idea of masculinity is dead or corrupted. It’s quite simply all hot air and fugazi. If you want to be manly, to feel manly, then do that. Your definition of manly might differ from mine, and it should make no odds to you whether or not Western consumer capitalism reflects your self-image (like it did in the era of cigarette advertising) or not.

Geez this one has me conflicted. I am a very driven individual. But one of the worst mistakes I ever made was investing that ambition into a company I worked for. Be ambitious and driven but don’t forget to balance that with not missing out on life itself. My biggest regret in my 40’s is not “I should have started my own company” it is having worked myself to death to be the best for nothing. Success is not in building wealth. I find so much more fulfillment in working as a volunteer and refusing to work any job that requires more than 40 hours a week. I’m debating starting a business not to be “successful”, but to have more control over my schedule. I would tell any young man; figure out what you are good at that will make you a living and is reliable, invest in perfecting that skill and yourself, then leverage that so you can work less and spend more time doing things that really matter. Being a father, a husband, a mentor, a gentleman. Someone that is ready to help others when able and willing to say it is enough so you do not tire out.

To one group an ambitious person can be seen as a leader and to another group that person can be seen as a controller.

I started to seriously self reflect, read about stoicism which changed my entire outlook & now I am becoming the best version of myself while encouraging everyone I meet to read Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" the Gregory Hayes edition & "Outtwitting the Devil" by Napoleon Hill.... Your entire mind will shift...❤🙏 Life is beautiful now everywhere I go & road blocks are amazing lessons that I no longer dread... I feel everyone just needs to eat better, work out daily & read books that resonate, taking notes & journaling along with waking up daily & going to sleep, being grateful for everything in your life...

This is not the whole truth. A man still needs a woman whom he respects. If she has totally subsumed her own life such that his goals are achievable he most likely will no longer see the challenge in (re)-winning her approval or admiration and gravitate towards someone who does stimulate him mentally.

I'm a very masculine guy, I like camping, working on my jeep etc etc. I'm not rich, I'm average looking...I'm just an ordinary "bloke". From the moment I activated Hinge (dating app) my phone blew up with messages like "thank god, finally a masculine, dominant guy". Many, many that I had conversations with gave feedback like "I've been told all my life that I need to take charge and be more aggressive and dominant - but it made me miserable, I've finally accepted that what makes me happy is a man that takes charge, organises the outings, looks after me and is assertive in life (and in bed)". That last bit surprised me, how many came straight out and said they were seeking to be dominated in bed - not bdsm but just a man that takes charge and makes them feel protected and allows them to be vulnerable and safe. I'm in a wonderful relationship now but this really surprised me and the best advice I could give to a single guy is just embrace your masculinity and ignore the loud minority that you probably don't want to date anyway.

What a great video. 14:00 my husband told me exactly this. And we are now 50 years old. So it started back in the 1990s at least. Telling men NOT to be too ambitious. While telling women they need to be ambitious. A man who says he wants to be his own boss and make a lot of money will be chastised by society while women are looked down on for NOT wanting that. I always wanted to be nothing but a wife and mother. I ended up going to college at age 20 because, honestly, I didn't know what else to do. I did not see men my age who I could see being a provider. And I was absolutely flamed for saying that. Again, this is the early 1990s. And I was living in a suburb in Florida. It's not like I was living in a modern city. So many women are told they need to be their own provider and never to depend on a man. And then they look around and think, yeah I guess they are right. My husband and I have both done very well for ourselves. But only because we quickly undid the role reveral that we were programmed with. I've supported his career and took care of our home and family. My husband says now he can see what went wrong with men of our generation. Single mother households or if parents are still married, households have become matriarchal. Mothers are too easy on their sons. Fathers need to turn their sons into men. A man cannot even think of being a husband and father until he has become his own man first. And that only comes from hard times. Living an easy life with mom and dad just makes men soft. A man needs to get out on his own and learn how to support himself. Become a man first. Then later he can think of finding a wife and becoming a father. For women, feminism has caused women to think that it's not enough to take care of a husband, children and home. While some women truly are career women, most are not. However, I can assure you, the "girl boss" stuff will die a quick death if women between 18-25 could see men who they know can be future providers. For so many women like me, it was true fear that I'll never be able to depend on a man. This is not to blame men for how women are. I honestly place most blame on mothers for pushing daughters too hard and being too easy on sons. But it all begins in the home. Boys in high school should start being primed for a career path and getting out on their own. Become a man and watch how fast women fall in line. Even the most hard-core feminist can turn into a soft feminine woman when she's around a masculine man. Men are not only happier being masculine, but women are happier too.

Men are reluctant to become providers today because they know that a woman can lie in their bed for 5 years after signing some documents and then walk away with the house, the car, and half of everything else that the man worked for to provide her. Then the court assigns to the woman, half of his net income in child support. They become providers without access to women or the children they made with them. So why do it?

In Moscow in 1950 there were twice as many women in their 30s than men in their 30s. This was in result of WW2, Great Hunger, Great Terror that all happened in late 1930s and early 1940s in the USSR. The tragic historical events affected men much more than women with net result being twice as many women than men in society. From genome analysis of over 300,000 samples we know that in the span of the last 5 million years twice as many women had children than men. From our species genome analysis about 40% of men who ever lived had children and as many as 80% women did. This is equilibrum for our species -- about 2 women per 1 men. If we are not in this equilibrum, like we haven't been since the end off ww2 -- all kinds of weird social phenomena happen. Like the one described by you. Interestingly for our species the balance is to have many more women than men in the dating pool. When these is 1 man per 1 woman we are in inbalance. Resulting in social awkwardness possibly followed by unrest, resulting in war, that will put things back into balance. In Poland there lived 36 milion people before Russia attacked Ukraine. Now we also have 2.5 million refugees, mostly women with their kids. At least 1 milion additional women in the "dating pool". With the same number of men. Trust me it is much harder to find a feminist here nowadays. And yes these moms have their men in Ukraine. Mostly dead or injured soldiers who can't escape the country. Or with PTSD or alcoholics. They haven't seen them in 2 years too. So many of these Ukrainian women are actually looking for new partners. I understand this is anectodal, but yes, somehow feminism ins't the thing in Poland anymore -- since all these ukrainian women settled here. If there ever is war with China in the US -- mostly men will die in the war. It is hard to be a feminist with all these women competing for small number of men who survived the war. I hope this never happens. Just wanted to throw another perspective into this.

I know this is an older post, but the reason for this is that Feminism in the 60s thought they could level the playing field by simply getting rid of "oppressive" ideas. But by the early 90s it was understood that that simply didnt work. Equality was dropped and equity was picked up. And in order for men and women to have equity a finger had to be put on the scale. Women could not compete with men, certainly not with the top tier men, so they had to make adjustments. Thats when you saw the start of the idea of blanket privilege, systemic issues and the like. It wasnt womens fault. It wasnt the fact that the average woman who wanted to have kids had to drop from the work force for around 4 years which would put her behind any male peer, even the worst. So that had to be corrected for. But you cant correct for individual choice. All you end up doing is creating a new oppressive system that prevents men from exceling and then women state with lament, "Where have all the good men gone?" And they simply do not understand, you murdered them.

Problems happened when I felt that she didn't show me enough care, love or desire so resentment built on my end which ruined the relationship. Honestly I'd wish I didn't have to play the 'men' role but in relationships where the woman deserves it, I'll do it for her to make her happy.

These pseudo Alpha motivational channels cause widespread humiliation and the erosion of dignity in most males. Most work hard but never get on. If we all got on society would collapse because no one would be valued by doing the drudgery jobs. Career and professional status are fed by the illusions of gaining happiness through consumption. Individualism above a functioning communal society, community. When our ‘advanced’ Western societies have provided the basics, at affordable prices, for their entire populations, we will deserve the term successful. For now that ideal is ridiculed by the bankrupt free market ideology which states that the trickle down of relative success will solve everything. All that’s accomplished is a middle where avarice thrives but virtual signalling altruism for its own images benefit evades that. That ethos places value on all these motivational channels encourages, success for the individual, with philanthropic capitalist altruism creating avaricious profits. Happiness isn’t by success as the only metric where it’s relative attainment is measured by materialistic consumption, buying things, or emotional consumption, buying experiences. You can’t buy happiness in either form. The sooner the silent majority revolt against the vociferous minority pushing that idiocy, the better.

I disagree with the work sentiments. My wife and I are in the same industry and she is arguably better than I at 90% of what we both do. I’ve only been in the industry for a short time comparative to her entire professional experience being in this industry. I switched professions and joined her industry as an SME from my own which is defense/military oriented. That being said, the way we handle work stress is extremely different. She and I spend almost every day after work talking through her problems, deconflicting work place quagmires, gaming solutions, etc. What my wife values in me, to get to the point, is that I’m a man who brings solutions to the entire constellation of life’s problems. I have principals and moralities that are incorruptible and I stand on them. I apply them to every scenario and will not bend on many things, not out of stubbornness or pride but out of self preservation. Strict adherence to my sense of self gives my wife a coherent and methodical course to follow. I think more than anything, people and not just women, want someone with a firm grasp on reality to follow. They want someone who can make sense of the blur that is modern life, someone who can introspect and reflect on what has worked and hasn’t as well as someone who can observe what is going on in the world and reliably arrive at accurate and timely conclusions. I think this also reinforces the rugged Marlboro man sentiment because there is some sort of exoticism surrounding the idea of the guy who rejects modernity and embraces tradition knows something that other men don’t. He’s more in touch with the forgotten ways, the ways that shepherded humanity for most of our history. Being adaptable, dependable, physically strong, emotionally resilient, competitive, hungry for success, constantly learning and pursuing new opportunities, etc are all hallmarks women look for but don’t admit they seek. Be that and your wife will be happy with you and people will want to be around you. A girl wants to show her dad someone better than he was.

Unfortunately I got paired with the weakest and truly laziest guy in the class for experiments etc. Unfortunately for me this guy was also a "minority". When I would do the experiments entirely by myself due to his lack of input, including one time where he got a static shock from one of the pieces of equipment and refused to participate further, I refused to give him the results due to me doing all the work. He complained to the year head and when I explained my side of it, he understood thank god because he could see with his lack of effort with his own eyes. But due to his minority status, the university implemented a policy of rotating lab partners each time, to cover their ass in case they were accused of racism. What I learned most from going to university was that I really should have done a trade.

The discussion about pushing talented people down is spot on. That is why I started my own business. They hate smart capable people and would rather keep them down. Society progresses by those who push the boundaries. You can see it in the schools too. We aren't pushing the best and brightest forward anymore. There are a lot of people that are bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter than me and I want them as the Wizard says in the Wizard of Oz to be "great men who dare to do great deeds." Then I can aspire to be the best I can be with what I got and we are all better for it. If you aim for the stars and land in the clouds you still went further than if you hadn't tried or if we look back to Karate Kid "show me paint the fence." Somehow America lost itself and I don't think it was an accident, I think that is how you destroy a nation.

From a woman 's perspective (albeit not all knowing): Masculine men are attractive (doesn't mean you have to be stereotypically masculine). When 'masculine' traits move towards a toxic level [i.e: insecurity based: aggression, possession, obsession, arrogance, etc] typically it translates to short-term 'bad boy' attraction. When the traits are healthier [i.e. assertive, commitment, ambition, confidence, etc] they do much better in the long-term. Honestly, though these traits and many others can be attractive in either sex (often expressed differently) when they are coming from a secure place (or moving towards a secure place). As for the society portion.... maybe? I think it's a bit more nuanced then that... there's a lot of romanticism, impatience, poor understanding, and insecurity out there on all sides...

But I think the women who typically fall for the bad boys in the first place and actually try to be with them are broken. They are the ones who try to fix the bad boys. The healthy and stable women don't even go for the bad boys. Or when they do, they don't stay. Not to say the stable ones aren't attracted or tempted but they know better to not to stray into temptation. Much like how some men know better than to try for the crazy broken women. Some still do, but a lot don't.

Biology and instincts are central to male and female existence. Women judge men on character and stability, men judge women on feminine traits and agency. In hunter gather human tribes women required males to be good at hunting and capable of defending them, males judged females on the ability to gather food and to raise the family. Without these traits humans would not exist today. And those traits are still emanating from biology.

I think the question is wrong. You could ask "What kind of women do men want?" and be just as confused. Women like all sorts of men, and the preferences change and vary for each woman. In general women these days need to get back to work at some point because 1. people can't live on one income anymore and 2. women need to be able to provide for themselves in case that the man they are with turns out to be unable or unwilling to be in a solid relationship. Returning to work after a break is not easy, which means a "good man" should be someone who is willing to help in the house and with the kids. That's how it is, if the man is masculine or not it doesn't matter for women on a day to day basis, as long as he is reliable person, can take responsibility and is a realist.

The same goes for men... But in current times men need the feminine more than the feminine needs the masculine. Men are looking for the feminine in the outside world, but women insist on being masculine or just not being there at all for them. So men have to integrate the feminine inside themselves. Only way. With men integrating the feminine I don't mean "be gay" or "be trans" or whatever, but look for the feminine aspects of your consciousness and tap into that, while simultaneously retaining your basic masculinity.

How many romance novels feature romanticized one-night stands? My guess is that there are two different axes of attraction: sexual attraction, and husband attraction. All sexual attraction and no husband attraction is one-night stand zone, all husband and no sexual is friend zone, both is the prince charming. Many romance novels display men with lots of sexual attraction, and potential for husband attraction that isn't realized until the protagonist helps him realize it.

This utilitarian discussion of “how/where can I find this person who not only benefits me in doing all that I want but also one whom I can mold every aspect of to my liking or to how I see fit?” I think is the root cause of misery for people when it comes to relationships, in essence nothing but expectations, demands, dead and hollow, then why wonder what is wrong here?! They are discussing two independent things which at a certain thresholds become diametrically apposed. It’s real simple, what do you REALLY want and why?! And who are you really? Any serious/committed relationship necessarily requires not only real affection or “duty” but mix of trust, empathy, honest communication, faithfulness and a good/great deal of compromise if it is to withstand let alone thrive in the face twisting, wearing, tearing and trying forces of close relationship dynamics. Ambition (true ambition) doesn’t accept compromise, and it doesn’t settle, see the problem here? It so happens that the truly ambitious (who want to be of the oh so sought after 1%) preach to all people “forget about this whole wishy washy, touchy-feely nonsense, you should be more like me, ambitious, disagreeable and ever so unyielding or uncompromising. Then the people who may be of the opposite predisposition (naturally agreeable, sensitive empathetic and caring) get offended back and you get this whole dumb tug of war culture that wants to force and convert people to “the right” way of living life, hah, keep looking for “the hack” for that foolishness all you want. If everybody truly needed to strive to be that “1% of so called success chasers” they would no longer be “the 1%” now would they? Nor would there be anything special about the whole thing, eh? Conversely you can’t force or teach empathy, creativity, love or altruism, those are character traits you either have/embody or you don’t. Make up your mind about that truly matters to you or find that out for yourself, there is no way out.

Some thoughts: 1. You talk about the difficulty in overcoming people who try to bring down the extremely ambitious by telling them they shouldn't be so ambitious. This seems to me a ridiculously easy barrier to overcome compared to what most normal humans who have addicted family members or who struggle to make ends meet or whose parents can't multiply 7x8 have to overcome. So someone thinks you shouldn't be ambitious. Learn to ignore them without cutting them down. Just get on with you life, I'd say. 2. In tech in the olden days, one of the problems was that ambition didn't just manifest as open and fair competition. Engineering involves a lot of very specific information which you can't just know by thinking harder, like where is the repo. If someone gives you an architecture diagram of the system and explains some guiding principles, you have a huge leg up over someone who just has the URL of the repo. And if you know the architecture and how to set the parameters for certain effects and so on, it's not in your best interest to share that information with someone whose job you covet, so information gets siloed, and progress is stymied. You're more inclined to share your diagram with someone who looks like you and has a similar background, someone you relate to, historically, someone male. You need a solution to the problem that there are many ways not to establish an even playing field without actually breaking the law. 3. Maybe men on average have bigger appetites for sex. And maybe traditional marriage is about giving men ready access to sex in exchange for physical protection and money to the woman. If that's true, then if women are not physically in danger and have their own income, they'll be less likely to want a long-term relationship.

Yes and if a man is not being a provider and protector there is very little incentive for her to be with a man when she can earn her own income unless both are married with children then the incentive becomes the children, but again if a man is not a good father women have no incentive to stay. Men still have the upper hand in society, make more money and will not have to struggle without a woman unless she makes more money than him. However all of it is changing up because of tech, the economy and the shift in social expectations to everyone's detriment imo. The only way it will get better is if men and women are able to navigate the new landscape without the influence of social media and come to an understanding of what it takes to have a real relationship in the new world

Women want real masculine men even if they don’t know it. The older you get, the more you long for a person who can take a lead and bring the family forward. As a woman, it’s so frustrating and tiresome being the masculine and the feminine person in a relationship. Lot of modern men are soft, have a weak mind, no ambition, afraid of responsibility... You have to drag the man with you, because they don’t know how to lead a family. Same way as women have not been taught, how to support a man or how to value and use the feminine power. I think the tides are changing though… women are realizing, that if men are weak, women are weak.

Companies and government entities favor women right now. I am talking about the overwhelming majority of people, not the tiny minority of people like CEOs or politicians. Additionally, society in the the USA generally promotes women and puts down men. When was the last time that you heard someone mention "toxic femininity" or even use the word misandrist? We hear "toxic masculinity" and misogynist used all the time. Instead of asking the question "Why are we not allowed to build better men?", why not stop discrimination based upon sex?

Men got a job to provide for a wife and kids, married their sweethearts when both were in their early 20s. Girls had boyfriends in high school they went steady with and married when she finished school. A couple years later the kids were coming. The wife stayed home and tended the children while the husband worked.

I struggled so hard in life bc of those people saying how dare you be smart driven and build things. These people need to go some where. Just bc i was born elite doesnt give them the right to destroy me.

I would advise reading and studying Machiavelli. It may help you to temper your self so that others do not react in a negative way.

Feminism lowered the bar by peer pressure and then character assisnated masculinity to eliminate the competition in some places.

There are very few women in actual power. Any that do make it in government tend to have either competence or are put into power by a cohort of men.

I watched a video the other day with Jordan Peterson interviewing an Evolutionary Biologist and they discussed a woman who's on birth control pills will choose a more effeminate man compared to who they'd choose if they weren't on the pill. I mentioned that to a young man who's a biology major and he said there have been instances where a woman on the pill gets married and she divorces when she gets off the pill because her hormones are different.

I have never thought about it but yeah if they're off the pill over time they would go back to a normal chemical balance

Ask yourself what you want, rather than fitting into what is expected of you. It's easy to say what we don't want, but what do you want? A hard question to answer, but once you have it pursue it hard.

I graduated in 1973. Determined to have a forever employment so I wouldn’t have to be dependent on a disappointing man. I wasn’t looking for a man to do anything for me to succeed, just don’t impede me or us. Was married at 20, employment as ICU nurse and other hospital jobs, for 20 years, 40 yrold son, still married 49 yrs.

Yes. My liberal wife fell in love with me and wasn’t persuaded by my unabashed manly ways. She wanted a man to be unwavering and just in his convictions. We disagree a lot, but I always back up my arguments with reason, and a lot of her viewpoints are based on emotion and deep down she knows this. We love each other deeply with very different opinions on many things.
@Gnomesmusher11 ай бұрын
Eh, you're implying that liberalism is all emotion and conservatism is all reason. No, both can be emotional in some areas and reason in some. Your wife's arguments are emotional most likely because she's a woman. My long term gf is pretty good at operating on reason but like any of us, can be emotional. Also, emotions aren't always a bad thing as long as you don't let them control you.

@@Gnomesmusher modern day liberalism is based on emotion. If you deny this I question your intelligence on the matter and much more. I’m not political but it’s plain as day to see that liberals modus operandi is arguing points based on emotion rather than logic. Just look at the trans, women’s, and racial movements. Nearly nothing is based in facts but rather emotions and how they feel.

@@mayeramschelrothschild3126 Like I said both sides have views that are based on emotions. But that fact that you're ignoring that conservatives do the same thing too makes me question YOUR intelligence and emotional security. I can already tell I triggered you. Just look at the conservative reaction to vaccines. Talk about viewpoints being based on emotions rather than scientific and medical facts. And then there's the whole "stolen elections" claims. Over 50 court cases and the right wing have not won a single court case claim on the elections. Tell me again that the right don't operation on emotions rather than fact?

@@mayeramschelrothschild3126 I literally said both sides can be emotional, so you pointing out libs being emotional doesn't make the case that conservatives aren't irrationally emotional as well. In fact, it's obvious that I triggered you. Take COVID vaccine for example. That's a case of conservatives reacting emotionally rather than based on scientific and medical facts. And then the whole "stolen elections claim". Over 50 court cases claims filed and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them lost. And yet the right still cling to their feelings that the elections were stolen but unable to provide any evidence. Tell me that isn't feelings over facts.
