Only this young lady and a couple others have any real insight on the subject.


I appreciate your calling me a “young lady.” It’s like when they card me when I buy booze. I know they know, but it’s still nice.

I have witnessed and been amazed at the complete lack of social skills of young men these days.


The apparent cluelessness of both young men and young women today regarding relationships is astounding. I’m considering creating a podcast on relationship dos and donts called “Advice from a Fossil”. I need male representation, but I feel like the over 40s on the rant can help me out (once they finish asking for pics).

Seven pages of "they took our jerbs" whining and expectations that the perfect mate is one who will conform to all of the man's expectations, agreeing with every opinion and desire, following meekly three steps behind, and no doubt promptly making sammiches and fetching beer on request.


A lot of it is frustration.
We know statistically that way fewer people are getting married.
And those that do are getting married later.

Both sides are frustrated, Taylor Swift is popular with so many young women because the persona she has in her songs matches their experiences.

We know the sex imbalance in college is a problem, the marriage tax, porn, feminism, abortion, the prevalent advertising of the LBGTQ industry.

We also know there is a problem. I see it in the young men, they dump the girl they were with in college because they have more money now and she's annoying. They leave because they think that a little money turned them into James Bond.

But I also see women giving their life to PowerPoint, stupidly chasing praise of a company that will never love them, chasing a one in ten thousand job that they will never get.

Every human is smart enough to see problems.
And we have one.

I have been truly "needed", and it's exhausting. Having someone, especially a grown arse adult, utterly dependent upon you is a huge responsibility.


No one who loves someone would want to see them not living their life to the fullest.

When I say need I mean it in the classical way, where two people align themselves into a partnership that is wholehearted.

Social Media has made everyone think they need a 500K home, three new cars, 4 vacations a year and the kids in private school.

Women can't distinguish between IG/Facebook and reality.

But they don't want to work or go to school for it, just lay on their back and spread em.

Suggest you don't marry... Sometimes they need you 100%, for extended periods.

You are correct; it is a huge responsibility, and it can bring a strong man down when it ultimately doesn't work out. It is also one of the richest blessings you can have.

I remember when I went to Europe I was amazed how all the women there were mostly somewhat attractive. Everyone was dressed nice and not fat.


I never really appreciated women dressing nice until I went to Europe. Women dressing classy and actually putting in effort to look nice even for just routine errands to store or class is something that is commonplace there. Women actually wearing dresses, etc instead of yoga pants and baggy t-shirts.

American women just put on that stuff to take pictures for the gram. There are actually women in Europe who dont use instagram as weird as that may seem

Well, you can’t just give up. Jesus. I met my husband in the early 2000’s, but even back then women turned down way, way more advances than they accepted. That’s just the reality of it. I tell my sons that they should expect to get rejected a lot by women, but that doesn’t mean they quit trying. It’s like hitting a baseball. You’re going to fail more than you succeed, but you at least go down swinging.



In 2025 for young men, this is just bad advice. The "numbers game" approach just is not sustainable for finding a woman that is suitable for longer than one night. If one nighters is your thing...sure

Young men need to:
1) Max out attractiveness(body, career, charisma)
2) Understand game
3) Put themselves in social situations with the highest # of suitable women

If you want something that lasts today, a girl is gonna have to show interest first before you approach her. She has hundreds of simps "shooting their shot" with her. You have to separate yourself from those men in her mind.

Its not an easy task...but its necessary

#1 is all you need.
Confidence is "game", so you don't need to shoot a line of shite; she's heard it all.

You can't be a hermit, but women are easy to meet, they're pretty much everywhere.

You can't be overweight and out of shape, but you don't need to look like you spend 10 hours a day in the gym.

If you're a barista, don't expect to pick up the cute attorney who comes in every day for her non-fat vanilla latte.

Have excellent manners, speak well, and drive a clean car. Those things go a long way in making a good first impression.

That goes both ways, they need to impress me as well.

I’m blown away by the volume of women that don’t work who act like they have difficulty in life, driving a hundred thousand dollar car, living in a seven figure home. Their struggle will never be understood by the masses.

This made me think, a nice, but frumpy looking 30 year old female with no kids, no debt, a conservative outlook, and no body count would probably be a considerable catch for most men looking to settle down.

100% she’d be a catch for any dude who is serious.

Non-serious dudes are going to place too much emphasis on looks and forget that the majority of women can clean up nice and most “pretty girls” in 2025 are majority plastic, makeup, lashes and filters.

Now if she’s just sloppy that’s another story, but if she’s simply opting out of the fake-pretty-game, that’s a plus in my book.

Just for me, she'd have to be a woman of faith above all else.

I know that's not everyone's deal, but it has served me extremely well.

Look around at some of these women out there and how they’ve let themselves go. Big as house by the time they’re 20 and still expect Prince Charming to come sweep them off their feet. Why would a guy bother?

I completely disagree with this. Im not implying bars/clubs. Im saying church, friend gatherings, gym, tennis, etc. Even at those places they can be sparse if you live in the wrong town

There is a total misunderstanding of "game" Its not cheesy lines and routines, its understanding human nature. Acting in a confident way is game.

I feel like..

This is a romanticized view of Europe + an exaggerated view of just a certain type of woman in the U.S..

And I say that as someone who equally hates a slob and who wears dresses and heels daily. I'm with you on your sentiment, but I don't know if I'd paint that brush broad enough to be "American women" as a blanketed thing.

I don't spend a lot of time in grocery stores checking out errand running patrons, but I do grab after work drinks in popular restaurants fairly often, and the women I see in these places are usually put together nicely.
