Some high percentage of people met their SO at work.

One wrong move and your arse is fired.

So thats part of it.

Women see this now and are now complaining about being treated different.

No … you asked for this.

Talked to a number of folks that have got caught up in this “Are we dating the same guy” shite on social media.

They go out with a girl a few times and decide to move on. Next thing you know they are being shredded online and accused by an angry mob of being a predator.

shite is wild.

If you are a professional, the risks are too great.

Whores are less risky than online dating.

Are they even screwing?? I assume they are all staring at their phone and jerking off?

The amount of people at bars streaming are amazing. Staring at a phone in a bar full of people.

I got divorced in 2012 after a 20-year marriage and four kids. I accidentally discovered Match.com. I think it was a pop-up ad. I had not been in the dating game for 25 years. This is is going to sound douchie but I had the time of my life for several years. I fricked all over the United States, from Alabama to California and back. Was like shooting fish in a barrel. I’m talking dozens. Women are absolute sluts (as was I). They are down to frick immediately.

You couldn’t pay me to go on a dating app today. These women - and I’m sure men - are ran through. Listen to me: They are all getting fricked all the time. You’re getting sloppy seconds. That’s the way it is today. If I can’t meet a woman in the natural I’m not interested.

No, being a parent does not suck. It’s the absolute pinnacle of human existence.
I know I know. I do not doubt you for one second.

My core group of friends has become very close again after one in the group’s daughter got diagnosed with and ultimately passed from Leukemia. Every single one of them has kids, most of them 2+(we’re only 33-35 years old, these guys get after it )

It’s been amazing watching them be dads and I can’t imagine anything being more fulfilling. The father of the deceased also has a 2 year old son and his wife is 5 months pregnant with another baby girl. Nothing on this earth that I stand to lose could hurt me as much as their daughter passing has hurt them.

I really do get it. But it is a little hard to envision meeting a woman who I’m willing to do all of this with. And I say that having never been more prepared for it. Mentally, physically, fanatically emotionally, all of it.

Social media makes young women feel like they are inadequate as well.


It’s interesting seeing the reaction to this statement. My son and I were talking about the body positivity trend the other day. I think the younger generation sees through it completely… or maybe my son is an anomaly. Even if they won’t say so publicly, I think people know that a segment of the population will talk up even the nastiest shite in the name of body positivity. Meanwhile, those girls still privately compare themselves to good looking girls and know they fall short. Not only do they know that, the smoke being blown up their arse removes the external motivation to try to rectify the situation.

I understand that pain. My sister lost a child.

But losing a child does not diminish the greatness of parenthood. It highlights it.

Also, crippling porn addictions keep people just content beating off every night instead of the real thing



No amount of porn or type of porn is going to replace sex with a woman. Porn isn’t new. Previous generations had access to it but still went out and met girls and slept with them. There’s something else at play. And it’s more than just porn.
Porn may satiate a small number of males, but it ain’t a viable option for the majority of men. If it was, you’d have seen this phenomenon in previous generations. And before you say porn is
More easily accessible today, it was no different for men in past generations. They’d have films and stacks of skin mags. They still went out and chased pussy. Something more significant is keeping young people from hooking up.

our research also suggests married adults, particularly married parents, consistently report the highest levels of personal well-being and happiness. Recent research found married mothers and fathers 18 to 55 are almost twice as likely to be "very happy" with their lives, compared to their single and childless peers.


Wish this was promoted more. Our society keeps beating men down at every turn, while telling women the wrong things make them happy

Feminism has succeeded, as intended.

Yep, women got what they wanted. Corporations were more than happy to have women working full time as well. Ours sons are looking in American society and what they are finding is not much in the way of feminine marriageable women.

Unless your grandsons are on another planet, or they're just hooking up, its not easy pickings at all. Youre definitely too old to be in this conversation or to even begin to understand whats happened over the last 20 years. In fact, your generation couldn't possibly be worse at approaching the modern issues.
