[@zeus014]

True. And the only good thing about this glaring fact is that the vast majority of these modern women - especially in the under-30 set - is that they are too stupid to notice this trait in themselves or to realize just how obvious it is to everyone else. They are overt narcissists rather than covert. Even when they speak and act in a covert manner they fail to realize just how obvious their character is - and that the guys who play along with it are only doing so until they've hit it and quit it. So keep doing those duck-lip poses and wearing those tight outfits and paint-by-number faces, girls. Keep telling everyone you're the prize, that you're a ten and that you're an empath. This way the objects of your desire - no matter how brief - know exactly what to expect from you and to act accordingly. 🙂

[@Kolobochok95]

Yup. Often you'll see young women who will rather go for the overconfident "bad boy" type who does all the drugs and drinks than for the disciplined guy who is into sports. Generally speaking that is. I fall into the latter category, always been into sports, taken care of myself and am reasonably successful and stable in life. Yet I have lost some really good girls/women that I saw potential in to said guys who barely put in any effort and were just trashing themselves. Often they got money from their rich parents or leased some expensive car. After about a year of "fun" they break up with the guy since he turns out to be a POS and come running back to you. This is oddly common these days and simply makes you lose interest as you are basically seen as a resource and adventure rather than a partner in crime so to speak.

Just going outside and signing up for activities doesn’t easily make you friends.

Men were probably always this way....men never had to be decent human beings to get a woman....oppression actually hid how incompetent and inept men really were.

Now that women can provide for themselves and are happier single and child free, it takes a lot more than oppression to get a woman.

"Friendship" is the idealization of an evolutionary survival mechanism, consisting in social cohesion, which stems from human beings' physical inferiority in comparison to other animals (strength in numbers vs individual brute force). Despite that, nowadays, it's pretty much useless for becoming wealthy and powerful (it if were useful, statistically, most people would be wealthy and not mediocre or, in underdeveloped countries, broke); it only works, if you have the right contacts, who must be willing to help you.

We had been engaged for a few months, and had a wedding date set for about 6 weeks after the breakup wound up happening.

I remember when I was in the dating market a couple years ago, whenever I would talk to women they would almost always give me the cold stare like I’m some weird creep, or give you the “eww” factor. I’m totally decent looking, and I wasn’t a pro in conversations but I was okay, but still the women just automatically label you as some creep before you get a chance to say anything. Or sometimes I would say something just to talk about whatever, and they would ignore me like I wasn’t there. I know if I pressed on she would probably say I was harassing her. That’s why I just gave it up and started working on myself. I do think there’s some things men need to fix about themselves, but women have this weird messed up attitude towards other males, before they even know the guy they often automatically label him as “ewww” and “creep” if he goes and talks to her. I’m not surprised guys are checking out, like who wants to be constantly dissed like that. They try to be so nice to them trying to have a nice conversations with them, taking them out on dates and buying them things, all often so the girl can just laugh at what a “weirdo” he is, and talk S about him to her friends. It’s really cruel and sad. And also for the guys that cat call women on the street or try to act all arrogant and cocky to women ruin it for everyone else.

[@tronmartin1]

@@Quaberr Men are objectifying women? LOL, Women are walking around in clothes much too small for them, and revealing way too much. Then women get on social media in thongs and other provocative outfits for attention. They are constantly objectifying themselves. Also, men spend more on dating. Why? because women are selling their vaginas. Men pay for se. That is the rule. Many times we do not get sex. Men buy the diamond rings, Women initiate o0-85% of the child support and alimony. Men only get around 75% of the time with their children that women get. Men lget their wages garnished for child support, and have to pay the child support clearing house a fee AND their employer. Mom does not pay anything and she is not accountable for where the money goes. Even if she has an affair the divorce works the same way. Women initiate over 70 percent of all divorces, and it is easy to see why. The most common reason is "we grew apart." You ladies want equality some of the time, and you want traditional gender roles some of the time. You want it both ways. All you do is use men. You are really a waste of our time and money. You would not understand because you do not invest as much in relationships as men. Men approach you, they ask you, they pay for stuff, then they ask you to marry them, then they buy the ring, then you leave them and he pays you child support. NO Thanks.

@Macdonald Involuntary? Women control sex, men control marriage? Men are the ones that initiate dating/courtship, and the proposal, etc. They are choosing to avoid relationships with women.

It seems education is important for both genders. But there should be some balance, have freedom of choice. then as experts say those long-term marriages are flourishing if both have the same values, hobbies, same lifestyle. so it's interesting that when you see a couple from the same environment or same job, for example, music field or science field. they understand each other so much that their marriage is long-term, and they share similar points of view or values. It's like the music or the topics brings them together because of empathy. They put themselves in the shoes of the other person. For example, if both love sports or hiking or traveling there is a bigger chance that they will have a long-term relationship. I agree that men are designed to be high performers. As John Gray says estrogen makes women talk about emotions more often. 10 times more noticing emotions and problems when under stress. So I guess women should do some yoga or sport to be less in stress. Testosterone suppresses the estrogen in the man´s body, to be calmer and focus more on task. Testosterone is about problem-solving. So it's true that men are usually better leaders and problem solvers. He also says women should not force their husband to think too much about their emotions. She shouldn't ask him how do you feel, but What do you think? Because if she forces him to feel emotions too much, it's against his biology. But men feel happy to make the wife happy, or create values etc. He says men shouldn't ask women What do you think, but how do you feel? because if he forces her to think rationally and logically it is against her biology, She is becoming masculine. Love and empathy and gratitude are not about logic, its energy, and vibration as Einstein would say. because man expects her to have the type of thinking and feeling as women have thanks to estrogen. He teaches couples how to communicate properly. Empathy helps put each other in their shoes. But elderly men get much more estrogen and females get more testosterone. so it seems they should do some meditation yoga and not think bout their identity so much even Dr. Joe Dispenza says the less you think about your identity such as gender nation, profession, lifestyle, language, status etc. the better you focus on your tasks.

I feel like the big thing for young men is that our efforts are not valued and appreciated, and that people just expect all these things from us like they're entitled to it. Asking a girl on a date is a big deal for a lot of guys. Putting yourself up for potential rejection and taking a hit to your confidence and ego. This was worth it almost all the time before because the act of asking a girl out was looked at as a very flattering thing to do. Even if she wasn't interested, she still respected the confidence and balls it took to go up and ask her that. Then when you go on the date, you pick her up, open the doors for her, move her seat for her, pay the bill, all these things for her. These were truly valued and appreciated but now, it seems like there are so many women out there who believe they are "the shit" and a "queen" and "Im a 10" so much that they feel entitled to those things. We don't mind doing those things for people who genuinely value and appreciate them, we absolutely don't want to do them for someone who feels like they're owed those things. The risk just isn't worth the reward anymore, at least not nearly as much as before. Don't get me wrong, I've gone on a few dates and some of them they really appreciated all the kind things I did for them and going the extra step. I don't want this to seem like it's every woman because it isn't, but I have met a lot of women who feel entitled to things. The world doesn't owe you shit, you are not a queen, you are not a "boss chick", you are a human being just like I am. Imagine I was walking around all the time calling myself a "boss man", a "king", saying I'm perfect and deserve all these things. Any woman with a connected brain stem would stay the hell away from me, and for good reason. We need to really reintroduce humbleness into our society. We don't need luxury, we don't need all these things, I don't need to make 100k+ a year to be happy.

this

[@jacobtani9785]

I’m In my early 20s and is still a virgin, never had a girlfriend, hell haven’t even had my first kiss yet. I’ve already given up about a year and a half ago on trying to find my life partner. If i was to start dating again, I have always been a dating to marry type of person, not the dating for hookups, one night stands etc. type of people that are now majority of my generation. It’s embarrassing to be a part of a generation that has ruined dating for everyone else that are actually more mature, have self-respect, common sense, and is responsible. Most of my generation are the exact opposite of these qualities said above. When I did try and put myself out there, all I got was rejected or used. It opened my eyes to how the dating world works now. I’m about a 7 or 8 in looks and workout 4 times a week consistently, still trying to work my way to becoming a law enforcement officer and I’m almost there. It’s just a complicated process in itself for this specific type of field but it’s steadily progressing. I’m an armed security guard as of right now and it’s already hard for me to make ends meet because of where I live. All in all most women of my generation would see me as a red flag due to not being financially stable yet rich. I don’t do drugs, smoke, vape, drink, party or go clubbing which is all red flags as well to most women of my generation. That’s why I have given up because these women want more negative aspects influencing their life than positive and it shows how delusional they can be.

[@darkpaw1522]

I’m a woman but I’ll give my synopsis: The bar to date for men is high. It’s always been higher for men. Money the primary factor, this is true throughout all of history. So what happens when more people are poorer? You’d then say, well women are poorer too. And you’d be right. But just because a woman is poorer doesn’t mean her expectations are as equal to men; they’re often higher, especially financially. They’re looking for men who make more money than them, in a world where the average man is poorer every year. For the women who do “settle” they often offer little. Sex and intimacy is a strong motivation for men; it’s not everything, but men like to feel desired, like their hard work paid off. *Men want to feel validation.* Women have not been making men feel desired; not the average man anyway. People work harder today and are poorer than ever. So men are now working towards a prize that doesn’t exist, validation. And if women don’t provide validation, men simply look for it somewhere else. Men choose to be single, not because they dislike dating, simply because the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. So now you have a ton of average poor men dating down, and a bunch of average poor women dating up. The stats are 66% vs. 34% because women simply they date multiple men; but doesn’t mean all men they’re dating is equal in their eyes.* They simply date multiple men and/or just date down for a bit; where as men don’t have that option, as less and less women even below them are willing to settle, let alone giving the man validation. With the average man already having less opportunities to date as I’d, it puts men in a place where they have the most expectations and the least reward. As time gone on the scales tipped too far, and now there’s too few women willing to date, and too few men who fit those same women criteria. Men are fighting a battle with odds against them, with a prize not worth all the effort. So they focus their efforts on prizes they can not only obtain but makes them feel desired and validated. They stopped playing the game all entirely.

I somewhat disagree. Like Red Pillers say, the market will decide your value. A lot of men conveniently ignore this fact when it doesn’t fit their narrative. The world is a competence hierarchy. More now than ever, men and women have to compete for resources. We need more skilled labor, people who can solve complex problems with max impact. The men who refuse to become competitive in the job market are at the bottom. They tend to make excuses about why they can’t get a college degree or 2, why they can’t make more money, why they can’t work 50 hour weeks. Meanwhile 20% of women are actually becoming the men they wish to date. If men want more options, they need to stop being lazy and EARN the lifestyle they want. Go to a high earning field, pay your dues, save up your money and when you get to a certain financial threshold, look for a quality woman. Men still have 1950s expectations, while women are working towards 2030. Guys don’t have room to be traditional any more - they need to stack their money and forecast for what the world will look like in the future. The future is egalitarian, which means you won’t attract a slim woman with decent earnings if you aren’t her equal.

[@hannahstriker]

@@ninagrace-lee8323 But you completely contradicted yourself here. Women like yourself, also conveniently leave out the facts that do not fir their narrative. According to the available statistics, men, on average, not only earn more than most women do, they also work more hours than women, take more overtime, take less paid leave and work more dangerous jobs. Even women that have white collar careers, work less hours than their male counterparts and take more time off work to focus on their children instead. The problem is that women like yourself, have the 1950's mentality when it comes to dating, but also with a modern twist(as long as it benefits you of course). In another comments of yours, you scoffed at a man complaining that some women expect "princess treatment", while offering nothing in return. And that is where the real problem lies, in that you expect men to behave in a "Traditional" manner, to be more "Masculine", financial providers and all that. While you simoultaneously do not hold women to the same standards. You expect men to offer you the world, without giving them anything in return. And even viewing women behaving in a more "Traditional" as being "oppressive", even though you expect men to behave in a similar manner. Women like yourself do not absolutely long for an "Egalitarian" future in the slightest. Expecting men to be the pinnacles of "Masculinity", while viewing women being attractive and thin as "oppressive", is not very "Egalitarian", innit?

[@aldimbog]

39 year old here, getting close to 40. Had 1 serious relationship only in 2014-2017, we lived together. But I learned the hard way that she, like most women, cared more about what I could do for her and not so much about me, while from my end I had no expectations and just wanted to be with her and loved her. This is the key issue I think... many guys like me realized that all women want from them is to provide - time, money, attention... some women are obfuscating this simple truth, others are very blunt about it which is a major turn off. Funny enough when I was younger I lived under an illusion that women are delicate, need to be fought for, that they are somehow special. Now thanks to my ex I understand that they are just regular people who use certain things to get what they want, and are probably too focused on self survival/putting themselves first. Selfish. And can they be really blamed for it, when so many men out there are ready to provide? not really. I think many men, including me, just learned to be selfish too - thats all. Either way, it's been an awakening.. some get that knowledge much earlier in life, others much later, and others don't even learn and keep repeating the same mistakes.

In my situation, I had autism that wasn't diagnosed until I was 44. This made me socially awkward, and when I tried dating at about the age of 20, it was a disaster. But worse than that, I was pursuing it because I falsely believed that I had to do this. After coming out of a long bout of depression, I came to realize that this was complete BS. Dating is an option. Not a requirement. Regardless of what fools might tell you. After giving it some thought, I came to realize it wasn't even anything I wanted to do in the first place. I find women attractive, but I realistically didn't offer anything they wanted, and they didn't offer me anything I wanted. Compatibility works in both directions, and I had never met a woman I was compatible with. In my case, it was an exchange that didn't benefit either party. And the more I learned about the process of dating, the more I didn't like it. So, I decided to drop the whole thing, and I have been much happier because of it. Now at age 52, I'm doing better in all aspects of my life because of it. If you want to date, go ahead. But never let people pressure you into it. It's an option. Not a requirement. You don't owe anyone anything. Look at your situation, and honestly assess whether dating is for you. If it is, go ahead and have fun with it. But don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself and try to make your entire self worth about how successful you are with women. There are so many things that are more important in life.

It seems education is important for both genders. But there should be some balance, have freedom of choice. then as experts say those long-term marriages are flourishing if both have the same values, hobbies, same lifestyle. so it's interesting that when you see a couple from the same environment or same job, for example, music field or science field. they understand each other so much that their marriage is long-term, and they share similar points of view or values. It's like the music or the topics brings them together because of empathy. They put themselves in the shoes of the other person. For example, if both love sports or hiking or traveling there is a bigger chance that they will have a long-term relationship. I agree that men are designed to be high performers. As John Gray says estrogen makes women talk about emotions more often. 10 times more noticing emotions and problems when under stress. So I guess women should do some yoga or sport to be less in stress. Testosterone suppresses the estrogen in the man´s body, to be calmer and focus more on task. Testosterone is about problem-solving. So it's true that men are usually better leaders and problem solvers. He also says women should not force their husband to think too much about their emotions. She shouldn't ask him how do you feel, but What do you think? Because if she forces him to feel emotions too much, it's against his biology. But men feel happy to make the wife happy, or create values etc. He says men shouldn't ask women What do you think, but how do you feel? because if he forces her to think rationally and logically it is against her biology, She is becoming masculine. Love and empathy and gratitude are not about logic, its energy, and vibration as Einstein would say. because man expects her to have the type of thinking and feeling as women have thanks to estrogen. He teaches couples how to communicate properly. Empathy helps put each other in their shoes. But elderly men get much more estrogen and females get more testosterone. so it seems they should do some meditation yoga and not think bout their identity so much even Dr. Joe Dispenza says the less you think about your identity such as gender nation, profession, lifestyle, language, status etc. the better you focus on your tasks.

Hypergamy is the real reason. In a nutshell, majority of today's modern women want man who is better and more successful than them in most important life segments. They want higher earner, more intelligent, better educated, stronger and emotionally stable partner on who they can look up to. It's in their nature and gene code, but real question is what they provide in return? Are they pretty, friendly, fit, feminine, supportive? In most cases they are not, and have zero incentive to work on themselves, because they think options are unlimited. Thats why most of them remain single, or divorced with kids. By 2050, projections are that more than 50 percent of woman in their thirties will be single and childless. Problem is real, and future is grim for both sexes.

We’ve all lost our way. Younger women are aggressive and non traditional. Career focus and not family/home focused. Younger Men are softer and have less drive for physical long careers and basically are scared of these demanding women.

I don't think young man being scared is necessarily a problem, I'm pretty sure this fear existed far before our time and will still do after, the thing is that young man have no incentives to face this fear.

[@user-wi1us5br6m]

To all my boys out there struggling in this cruel world, i feel your pain every single day. I have struggled all my life with women and low self esteem that they caused. Im 30 and never even kissed a girl. The couple of dates from online that i have landed ended with "i dont feel a romantic connection to you". I have zero friends and almost always have had no friends since my teen years. I feel i am losing the will to live at this point. Still live with my parents and women dont want me for that reason whenever they find out online. I cry daily now with this. This is the male privilege that i hear all the women talk about. They dont realize how good they have it. They are just very selfish and conceited. That is my rant. Dont be afraid to make connections online with other guys in this predicament. It can help with the deep pain you may be feeling.

[@johnedwards230]

My suggestion would be to try and Cultivate hobbies and interests, hopefully that'll give you a chance of developing friendships by joining groups

[@Linksballs]

Just wondering, have you been going on dates with women who you'd say are in your league looks-wise? For example if you're overweight, are you going on dates with overweight women?

[@bro918]

[@VonGoldfinger]

I’m not an expert but it sounds like you need professional help. If I was you I would seek consultation from a psychologist to solve that. Friendships are communities that you have to seek out and fit in. It can be anything: world of Warcraft, the gym, army, salsa dancing. Life is not about wailing and complaining for us men: we need to get out there and conquer the world.

[@huguescorbeil1999]

I really don’t mean to be mean, but it sounds like you have some work to do. You can’t be a 3/10 (not saying thats what you are) and want a 8/10. Go to the gym, learn new skills, get a decent job and move out. Of course women are not going to want to get with you if you’re out of shape or not independent.

[@Teimo]

Ive been saying this for a while. We as men need to grow our expectations higher and stop giving women whatever they want while also sacrificing our own well-being. This isnt supposed to be for revenge or anything, but because women have so much more freedom in choosing their partner, they can be so much more picky than us men. And we as men keep simping and sacrificing who we are just to be with a woman. This isn't healthy for either gender and this isn't to make women feel worse. It's to make it fair

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

THANK YOU someone finally said it. As men we should up our standards and not settle for women that do not deserve us at our best

The answer is simple. They have casual sex which counts as being single but the women think they are serious.

[@Thor-Orion]

2:41 but the women who make that kind of money can’t attract the men that make more, because the men that make more are more interested in young supermodels, that’s the value those high value men get in exchange for their money.

[@Aidyn3000]

The blackpill is that men need to climb an endless mountain of self improvement before they even have a shot at being in a relationship whereas women only need to exist in order to score a guy. Being in nature and hanging out with "the guys" may help for people who are already socially well-adjusted, but it isn't going to help men who have been socially isolated from any positive social contact for so long that they've completely lost the ability to talk and connect to people. Abject social isolation is a problem unique to modern men, and it's not something that a stroll through the forest is automatically going to fix.

So much advice given today seems to include something like "ignore the data, pretend as if it weren't there." When it IS there. We now know that women are massively hypergamous as a group and can point to the relevant supporting statistics. I'm just using this as an example, but you can say the same for male dating strategy or anything else. When you're handed data on something and find it depressing, are you doing yourself a service by a) ignoring it and acting as if you've never seen it, carrying on and effectively lying to yourself.... or by b) reacting to the new information and assimilating this new knowledge into your decision making, even if the new information is depressing? I'm one unhappy guy, so I'm not giving advice or advocating for a certain attitude, because i have no idea how to be happy. But i have a rule for myself that i won't willfully put my head in the sand and ignore reality just because it's painful. I won't pray to a God i don't believe in just because religious people are happier overall. And i won't pretend i don't know all of the depressing things i know about dating just because I'd potentially be better served by pretending like i don't know them. Personally i advocate for dealing with what is, even when what is abjectly sucks.
