What is with all of this? Hell, I'm that size also and have never had any trouble getting women. 99.9% more of the dudes I know and grew up with are not some 6'3 225 pound Greek god built guy, and they all got women. What the hell is wrong with men and women nowadays? Is it social media?

Counterpoint would be don't act like an unhinged a-hole and expect your partner to ignore the red flags.

Of course. But I assume guys aren’t going around with “I’m an abusive a-hole and you have to like me anyway” in their dating profiles.

Nobody should try to justify being a horrible person.

Yes this can, do you know how many tricks and simps are out there? How many men that are dying for some real female affection? How many men that will use their money to buy attention? You’re underestimating how weak we are

Sure but those aren’t the guys that women are going to end up with or choose to be with. They aren’t interested in the simps, only in their money.

We knew what worked. We knew how to frame a face, a gesture, a moment of implication — just enough to ignite fantasy and open a wallet. I came to understand, in exact terms, what cues tempt the average 18-to-36-year-old cis heterosexual man. What drew him in. What kept him coming back. It wasn’t intimacy. It wasn’t mutuality. It was access to simulation — clean, fast and frictionless. In that world, there’s no need for conversation. No effort. No curiosity. No reciprocity. No one’s feelings to consider, no vulnerability to navigate. Just a closed loop of consumption. What struck me most wasn’t the extremity of the content; it was the emotional vacancy behind it. The drift. The way many men had quietly withdrawn from intimacy and vulnerability. Not with violence or resistance, but with indifference.


Sounds like she figured out how to grift men. . .just in time for men to leave the scene

She is mad that she developed hustling skills that are now obsolete

I think all the filters and videos women are constantly posting these days have really messed with how people see themselves and others. You see someone online and think, “Wow,” but then meet them in person and it’s like… a completely different person. It’s gotten so fake that I think a lot of guys—myself included—just see right through it. To me, it’s a red flag.

Just today, I was on Facebook and saw it was an old friend’s birthday. I haven’t seen him in 20 years, but I noticed his wife in one of the pictures, so I clicked on her profile. Her page is full of videos and selfies where she looks like a total 10. But mixed in are a few real photos, and honestly, she’s just a regular woman. What’s weird is that her husband (my friend) is never in any of the photos or videos—just their kid. She didn’t even take his last name.

Honestly, I feel like this whole social media image game has gotten out of control, and now it’s coming back around. I’m 41, divorced, and raising my young son. I’ve got a solid career and zero interest in playing games or dealing with drama. I’ve tried, and it just doesn’t work for me. These days, you’ll find me out in my boat fishing and spending time with my kid—not at bars or chasing after someone who’s more into filters than real life.

TLDR. American women have become too much work. Men have found out about latina and Eastern European women.

It’s been going on a hell of a lot longer than a decade. I’d say the last ten years has been the culmination.

Telling on yourself. This is such a red flag to so many women. Why would they want to be in a life long relationship with someone that doesn’t even understand them or try to befriend them outside of sex?
Do you know many women that are actually fine with their partner having close female friends?

Not to post spoilers, but the number is extremely small

Women want a guy with zero female friends, to reduce potential competition

Having a lot of female friends is a HUGE red flag to most women

Married man, in my 50s and married to the same woman for over 30 years.

The woman's brain that wrote this article is a backlashed fishing reel. It is a hopelessly entangled mess and the only reward for untangling it is having a reel that works the way it should until it tangles all to shite again.

Her insecurities and her psychosis will never, ever be worth the trouble.

There is no reward and there is no prize to be won and either nobody in her life ever had the stones to tell her so or she is so fricked up that she ignored what they told her and has decided she is worth it.

She isn't worth it.

Basically, MeToo excesses and the Woke Era made real men retreat from the scene

The only ones left were the sad, pathetic simps. . .and the "male feminists", which you should correctly read as "rapists".

Real men retreated back to their friends, and to online culture. Capitalism fills markets as needed, and that meant the proliferation of internet porn.

So men are getting community through social media, attention hooked with gaming, gratification with porn, and can still hang out with their buddies in male spaces (basketball court, country club, gym, etc.)

Women in society got what they asked for. . .and as per usual, they changed their mind.

Too late.

Why not try to become the kind of woman that men today want, instead of demanding we be what you want. . .but we can't have ANY standards with regards to appearance, behavior, or chastity

Not really.

It is more they got what they thought they wanted.

No toxic masculine men out on the dating scene.

Now they are upset that the men that are left, aren't the ones they want.

That is the entire article in a nutshell.

nice

I had a robust dating life, when I was single

Grew up with 4 sisters

Been married for 24 years.

I still remain tickled when weak men suggest I don't know what it takes to make a woman happy, or to deal with women.

My last note here

I think it is undersold how many men don't go to clubs in major cities, because they are concerned they will be filled with trannies. A friend of mine works at a club in NYC, and he says he hears that a lot.

He also says there are some, but not as many as people think

Nobody wants to watch a dude in a wig and hotpants twerking
