[@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. 🙂

[@joer8954]

I was bullied and ignored throughout my childhood because I had Tourette’s syndrome. It made social interactions so nerve wracking and uncomfortable and as a result I developed severe social anxiety and depression that I still experience. But apparently I need to still care what people think or I’m the asshole. It’s so fucking pathetic. And it’s sad because deep down I know I’m a good person and I’m worth getting to know but apparently most people don’t give a fuck about you unless it benefits them. And if I show any sadness about my lack of dating than I’m seen as creepy and weird for even daring to want human intimacy. It’s so sad and disgusting.

I had a conversation with my mom recently about the purpose of relationships. She said she and my dad both started with nothing, but they knew through hard work and dedication that they could get ahead in life. Many young women today want men who are already successful. They want the prize for free without putting in any work themselves. The believe that because they went to college, they now deserve the top men available without realizing that the men they find attractive only see them as objects for physical pleasure. Relationships today are about scoring a prize instead of finding a life partner. People are commodities, and true lasting love only exists in the movies.

[@JamesGreenier]

That’s absolutely true. My mother used to tell the problem with women today is their mothers. Their mothers tell them to marry wealthy men.

[@natashadickson4819]

Yes, young women "want men who are already successful" therefore many of them marry or pair up with men who are 4 to 10 years older. Only 1.6 % of marriages have an age gap of 20 years or more

@@natashadickson4819 This just proves my point. Women that pursue older and successful men are chasing an elusive prize rather than building a strong foundation for their lives. I know a few women who were left helpless and alone after their "successful" partners abandoned them for even younger women. My ex left me for an older man who later found a younger women to replace her. After my breakup, I built myself up by going to college, finding a good job, and buying a house all by myself. Five years after she left me, my ex tried to get me back, and I happily told her no and to not contact me anymore. It all worked out in the end because I eventually found someone my age who makes even more money than I do. We are happily engaged and enjoying a simple life together.

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.

"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).

Gave up on dating. Every time I had to talk about something or open up more, I was abandoned. Learnt I was secretly cheated on after being left. No one helped in any way. Left due to depression spiking due to the pandemic. Attacked the following week. Member of the family tearing my life apart. Left due to the mental toll it was taking. The funny thing is that despite their own issues and problems, there was ALWAYS someone to give help and assistance. Yet always one sided. Always have that need to love though (which I hate) while having to deal with the trauma inflicted. Not to mention being unable to earn my own money due to anxiety and, surprise surprise, no one wants to help with overcoming that! Before anyone says: I have tried seeking help and therapy but left in the dark. Doesn't help the expectation of something bad always around the corner. Edit: Since speaking this and still receiving no help, chose to push through. Now much happier with life despite the harsh truth of being alone. Still got anxiety to get through but plan to take care of that when ready.

I got into cooking, biking, repairing things (only with what I'm comfortable with), etc. Trying to get into kayaking this year but its either been super windy or raining (every single weekend for like the last 2 months). Haven't been on a date in 10 years. Given up on looking for a partner because of how awful society has been. And its only getting worse. There's no community events in my area. No public volunteer groups. I'm not the kind of guy to go to clubs or bars. (No clubs near me anyway). Dating apps led to no matches. Churches are not my thing either. Hell, people at my work are even flaky. They'll go out to eat in groups on the drop of a dime. Not even a single day in advance . Not even a few hours. They even brought their own lunches but choose to go out to eat instead of eating what they got in the break room. I refuse because I don't want my food to spoil. They always say they will give me an advance warning the next time but don't. I've gotten the hint. If they ask me again, I'll be mad and tell them to just stop. Done with society in general.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the video. Although the factors you mentioned are mildly depressing, it's good to have a reminder to focus on other things. Having high quality friends around is really important and most importantly getting out doing stuff. I think if you get too wrapped up in self pity or get too defeatist about never meeting a girl, it's easy to shut yourself in. In turn making yourself more anti social and having less great memories with the people actually in your life. Then you'll have no hobbies and nothing interesting about you, making you less attractive. What a downwards spiral that could be.

Corporate America has succeeded. That's what they want you to do. Your occupation comes first. No significant other or kids to prioritize?

Any corporation's dream is a slave-wager who will give all their labor to them their entire life without any other wants or desires. Now ask yourself who is behind the destruction of the family unit and the rise of "independent" women? It's no coincidence that the "solution" for both genders in this new twisted culture is to focus on their "career". Then everyone applauds.

[@obijuankenobi3814]

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. Focus on the things that really matter, human connection, family, relationships, etc. Social media has everyone's priorities mixed all the way up that we've lost the core reason to be in a serious relationship.

I agree with every single thing you said here. Women are the problem nowadays because she is only thinking about money and how to control her “man”. Women want men who are dumb enough to do all her dirty work which speaks to her insecurity. At this point, every man that I see who is in a relationship is in a relationship because his woman controls him, tells him what to do and he knows that if he doesn’t do it, there will be hell to pay back at home. It’s not worth it and women will suffer the consequences in the future. Now that men and women are equal, when the millionaire men are gone, I wonder who they will have to go out with next?
