The short answer is don't be a creep. Here is the long answer: Choose environments where there is an expectation to talk to other people. Bars, meetups, social events. Outside of that, probably not a good idea to approach people, unless something out of the ordinary occurs that needs to be acknowledged. Ok, so you've placed yourself in a social setting. What's next? Learn to keep it short and sweet, and then move on. Have an engaging conversation for about 5 minutes. 10 max, and then excuse your…

When you live your life seeking the validation of others, all you'll know is pain. All you'll feel is pain. And you'll have nothing to show for it. At the end of the day, the only person you need to answer to is yourself. Yet it sounds like you are not willing to live your own life in the hopes of pleasing others. You're now learning first hand that no-one will reward you for that. And that may also be the reason why you resent them too. But it's you that's choosing to not be your unapologetical…

Not really surprised. Men falling behind in education? Same reaction. Yet they own education. They are the ones who taught these boys. They thought they knew how they could turn them into better men. But it now looks like by 2050, we will have a society that closely resembles the 1950s again. Talk about loosing the whole cake because you didn't want to share half of it. The one thing that all these type of reactions have in common is that there seems to be an inability to do any soul searching o…

The same dynamic is at play here as well. The only difference in k-12 is that the male teachers had the choice to leave. Male students on the other hand don't have that choice. They are forced to go to school.

Once universities reach the tipping point, their risks are further exasperated by not only losing the male demographic, but fewer women will also end up choosing this as an option as well because there are no men there anymore. It doesn't mean universities will go extinct, but how much can you keep on charging once you become what is basically an adult day care center?

One of her replies speaks volumes to her intentions as it comes down to: Men can't have male spaces, but they can have male safe spaces. Reading between the lines, what she is advocating for are spaces like menslib: Where everything is framed in a way that appeases the needs of women first and where mens needs come second, if at all. People like her don't want men to have agency, but at the same time also don't want to take on the burden of taking care of men who don't have agency.

This is like her boyfriend getting on a flight and asking one of the flight attendances to join him later on in his hotel room to continue the service because she has a sparkling personality. Once at the hotel, it won't be anything sexual. Just her doing her job, smiling at him, serving him food and drinks and possibly asking him to close the shades before they go to bed. He should also take a selfie with the flight attendance and send it to her. I'm sure she would be: "Oh yeah, this is all abov…

In my experience: When I was living alone, I would reduce the complexity of managing my household so that maintaining it became trivial and didn't consume a lot of my time. Why? Because I have better things to do with my life. Every time I've had a girlfriend move in, they would immediately start over-complicating everything. It's as if the process is more important to them than the result. Trying to tell them otherwise has proven to be pointless. Inevitably, the complexity of managing a househo…

Yes, your value is based on what you can provide to others. That said, it doesn't mean you should give that value away for free. It's okay to ask for something in return, but the only way you can do that is if you know what you can contribute to a relationship and what the other party wants from you. It also means you will need to be prepared to negotiate. And that can be anything from direct verbal communication, like clearly stating your expectations, to non verbal communication in the form of…

If you take the lead of a household chore, and your partner is showing this type of behaviour, it's likely a failure of leadership on your part. If someone who loves you is reacting with malicious compliance, you have likely attached a very negative association to a particular task to the point that verbal communication has broken down and the only way they can tell you they don't want to do it, or even if it is just to do it your way, is too do it badly. They're no longer engaged and just want …

I feel dumber for having watched this. Not all parts of a hospital are designed to perform surgeries either. I am now curious how a 'woman' would design a hospital. I also propose a new drinking game. Every time a brain-dead feminist uses the term 'historical' to justify a perceived injustice today, we replace it with "hysterical'.

I don't want to be mean, but you are not a man, you are still a child. And that's OK. It's probably why you are lacking a bit of perspective but that is something you can fix. Take a deep breath. This is not advice, just a different perspective: One. Women have feelings. That's their responsibility, not yours. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be attentive but don't make it your problem.

While we can only really speculate, based on the evidence so far, it's probably safe to classify it as a misogynist terror attack. I'm guessing that most men in his situation would have quietly taken their life, and society would have gone on about its business without a care in the world.

Masculinity isn’t a measure between men and women. It’s a measure between boys and men. The first mistake the author makes is assuming that just because for example women can be courageous too, it’s therefor not a masculine trait. To give a very simple illustration of this: In a time of need, if a guy doesn’t show courage, he will be seen as a boy. If he does show it, he will be seen as a man. It has nothing to do with women or femininity. Masculinity isn’t a sum of traits. The traits are the pr…

Upvoting you for having a valid argument, even though it is based on a faulty premise. You are right that there are plenty of positive traits you can associate with masculinity. The problem is when you take it to it's natural conclusion as the article does. Traits such as courage, leadership, responsibility, support and so on aren't traits unique to men. Women can have it too, and so the argument goes that these aren't predominantly masculine traits. The result is that you're just left with toxi…

Avoid ever going into detail about your past relationships. There is no upside to it. Best case, it doesn't change anything. Worst case, it will be used against you if it touches on any insecurities your new partner may have. It also wouldn't surprise me that the driving force behind MGTOW are women suffering from BPD. The good news is that it does become easier to identify such women, once you know what to look for, before you invite them into your life. Not all women are like this, but you do …

You can express vulnerability, but you can't show weakness. It's a very difficult balance to get right and unless you are willing to place your relationship with a woman at risk, the go to advice is to show neither. Vulnerability vs Weakness But what's the difference? Vulnerability is you opening up and expressing the things you are struggling with. Typically, these are issues that are hurting you. That in itself is not a bad thing. The fastest way to grow as a person is through failure and hard…

You're right, it's not a great example. This was more an example of a brand that no longer understood it's customer base. For the longest time, Gillette was marketed as "The Best a Man Can Get". Brilliant tag line as this what men tend to do: seek out the best tool for the job.

Women will go through all this trouble to try and attract the men they are attracted to, but at the same time, they hate the unintended attention they also get from men they're not attracted to. It's like throwing out bread crumbs at the park and being frustrated it's not just attracting the ducks you like, but also the pigeons, which you don't like.

They have this idea that because you're a strong man, them hitting you as a way of venting doesn't hurt you and so it's okay if they do it. It somehow doesn't cross their minds just how annoying that type of behavior is. I give them one warning: I tell them they cannot hit me. If they try again to test me which is what is likely to follow, I immediately remove myself from the situation.

If we just ignore for a second why there even is a female only chess championship, their ruling is actually quite sound. In order to qualify, you just need to prove that officially, you are recognised as a woman. That means that a trans woman that has gone through the trouble of having her gender officially changed to female, would now be eligible to play.

What's even crazier is everyone is baffled that he is earning 5x what she earns while only working 2 hours a day simply for being born in the right family. As you said, utterly privileged.

He appears to be confusing expressions of masculinity with masculinity itself. He comes across as a woman mimicking what he believes to be a man and has now found himself unwittingly trapped between two worlds. He is now too much of a caricature of a man to be trusted by women, and likely too feminine to be trusted by men. My guess is this is why he can't form deep connections with other guys.

The way it has been presented above? No. It's comparing apples to oranges. If the populations of both men and women prisoners where roughly the same in 1978, then you would be able to infer that woman are outpacing men by a significant margin. But the populations weren't balanced and it's missing some key information to tell us anything meaningful as a result.

In the moment, you indulge it, then let it go. That said, if you are that on edge, you need a break and get as much distance between what ever is the core source of your frustration. You are probably going to have to make some really hard decisions about your life, but to do that, you'll need to clear your head first. It's likely you've lost all perspective. You should also seriously consider getting professional help. Again, it's about regaining your perspective.

People who think in absolutes have no tolerance for nuance. Through their own fault or not, they become difficult to reason with. The long term result is that they end up filtering out the healthy people from their lives and are only able to attract those that want to exploit them. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. So when they say all men, it shouldn't be a surprise that it actually is their experience and convincing them otherwise becomes ever more difficult.

She's not wrong, but the only time you should tolerate a transactional relationship is when you're hiring a professional. As a man, don't let her set all the boundaries. Women will self sabotage if you let them control the entire relationship.

Matt Walsh isn't concerned about what a woman is. He is concerned about the world denying our objective reality in favour of a comfortable but dangerous lie.

So true. Likely because it's sometimes hard to understand why certain people are the way they are until you've gone thru the same struggles. They are then also more likely to reach out to you because they've been in the same spot yo nare in now. ​ Which makes sense.

I believe the way it works is they don't know upfront what answer the AI will generate. It's possible you could ask it an innocent question yet it will give you an offensive answer. So they just let the AI produce an answer, but before it can be shown to you, it first needs to be filtered. If it doesn't trigger any of their predetermined red lines, you'll get to see it. Otherwise, it will get filtered and you get a generic message as to why it wasn't appropriate.

"One possible implementation of that approach could be to introduce a lump sum tax (fee) on men and give the proceeds to women. This would reduce both income inequality and economic distortions."

It's part of post modern logic. Divide the world into two groups: Opressors and oppressed based on any difference of your choosing. Gender, sexual preference, skin colour, social class, eye colour...

It's probably more about having the right mindset rather than just emulating a set of behaviors we tend associate with masculinity. As such, the boy must teach himself. The student must become his own teacher. So I can't tell you or anyone else…

Totally agree with making sure everything is tidy before you or someone else has to start cleaning surfaces. In fact, when I was living alone, I found the easiest way to tidy up was to not have a lot of stuff to begin with, just the essentials. It saves you so much time with the cleaning. Yet every woman I've lived with brings in a steady stream of shopping bags into the house because somehow their definition of household essentials is a lot broader than mine. But it also makes cleaning a lot ha…

No. For starters, when it comes to relationships, sex shouldn't be transactional. So don't go into a relationship expecting you can offer something in return for sex or get something in return for sex. If you want sex to be transactional, prostitution is a better deal for both parties. In relationships however, it just opens up an avenue for abuse. As a man, don't ever do anything for your partner in return for sex and as a woman, don't ever offer or withhold sex to get your partner to do someth…

It sounds like you don't understand the full context of this discussion. Equal rights, equal lefts doesn't mean it's OK to hit women.

So you say that „equal rights and equal lefts“ and the underlying threat of violence is a appropriate response to women standing up for their rights?

The last option in their toolbox is to send you to jail, but at that point, the script has been reversed. Everyone else now has to pay to keep you housed and fed. It does require a mindset change as you may have lost your freedom, but at least you are living your life on your terms given the options you have left.

Once it's established you are the father, most places won't allow you to revoke your parenthood. It doesn't even matter anymore if you can prove after the fact the child isn't your biological offspring. The only option you may have at that point is if some other guy wants to step in and adopt the child. Leaving the country is an option, but that is not feasible for most people. And unless you are already living in a foreign country, you are still exposed to certain risks you may have not foresee…

If it's not ok for men to be sexist, it's not ok for women to be sexist and it needs to be called out. Everything else you mention is irrelevant. And if you disagree, reverse the rolls for a second: If a woman calls me out for my poor behavior, do you think it would be ok for me to tell her it's not valid because I believe she hasn't done enough for women?

So a woman hating an entire group of people based solely on their gender is fighting for women's rights, but if men call her out on her bigotry, it's bitching?

I would say you have 3 options. Option 1: A girl who resorts to violence forfeits the "don't hit girls" privilege. Having said that, hitting back should only really be your last resort. If your hand is set to 2x, dial it back to stun mode. If you get hit, slap her in the face without a second of hesitation and then stop. The goal isn't to hurt her, but to set your boundaries. That's it. Also keep in mind that with any act of violence, this is may not turn out to be a long term solution and it ca…

To be fair, the first 7 on that list are caused by men: 1. That guy who broke her heart 2. That guy she had an awful break up with 3. That guy that took her breath away 4.

The chart is useless. I used to teach courses for adults and I thought I was good at it until I realised a hard lesson. Don't assume anything based on a persons background or what they say. Just look at their actions instead. I would constantly ask my students if they understood what I had just explained. Some people will naturally ask if they don't understand something without being prompted. They are the ones that lull you in the false confidence that you're doing a good job. Others however wo…

a) It's ok not to feel safe if you are out on the road at night by yourself regardless of your gender. b) People with good intentions crossing the street for you isn't going to increase your safety in real terms. You may feel safer, but the risk of being assaulted by someone with bad intentions remains the same. c) You are also much safer walking alone at night with two strangers right behind you then you are at home spending time with your boyfriend or husband or some other guy you know.

Most of his critics have only ever preached to their choir and never really had to defend their ideas on a fundamental level. It was usually sufficient to just dismiss anyone with a different viewpoint by simply shaming them into submission. That tactic fails against someone who is acutely aware of such shaming tactics and is able to call it out for what it is. Men like Jordan Peterson, and I would include Kevin Samuels to that list as well, are probably best classified as strong traditional men…

It's ok to piss her off. If you are not ok with it, she should know now instead of you trying to lead her on with some excuse to buy yourself some time. That's not fair on her either. If it is a deal breaker for her, you should know as well, and in that case you should probably go your own separate ways if you can't resolve this indifference. But for as long as you are still together, you need to be extra protective of your sperm. Use your own condoms and make sure she can't tamper with them. Do…

There may be a difference in perception and how we handle threats. As a guy, if I am on my own, I have no expectations anyone will try to help me whether it's in a dark alley late at night or a crowded shopping street at lunch time. It may be that women feel unsafe at night because if something happens to them during the day, there is an expectation that someone will step up and try to protect them. Being alone at night in a dark street means their rescue team is less likely to show up if someth…

Haha, I am quite aware there is a world beyond the USA as I've never actually lived there. I am from Belgium.

I am generalising because that is what I see everywhere around me. Woman aren't fulfilling their traditional roles until it suits them. As in we are expected to protect and provide for them when they are ready to have a child. Just be sure to chip in with 50% of the household chores so it doesn't appear as a traditional family. Meanwhile, you have no say because she now holds all the cards because the courts will favour her should she ever get tired of you. Is fulfilling your traditional male ro…

Them being incapable of logic is a feature. They really believe that if women ran the world, everything would be better. So let them prove it. So far, almost everything they touch is breaking down. Families, marriage, sport, education, safety, entertainment, governance... Let them twist and turn in their own denial. It's only the men that have to see it for what it is.

You do not bargain. You set boundaries instead because once the courts get involved, you've likely already lost. And the boundaries you set will be specific to your own circumstances. While you will always be exposed to risk, you'll likely be in a better position if you plan ahead, know what you're getting yourself into and have an exit plan in mind when things do go south. Things to consider... If you want to maintain relationships with women, how do you vet them? If you hook up, how do you pla…

I totally agree with you. The goal isn't to advocate for change or concessions because that requires that all parties are acting in good faith, and we know that's not the case. It's also why I believe protesting doesn't work. This negotiation isn't a discussion. Instead, it's to stop participating in their game until they realise their irrational behavior no longer serves them. We simply need to stop enabling them and walk away. The onus is on them to make any changes if they really want us back…

Good point. A bit of both I guess. There have been times I have felt lonely. Some of the moments that come to mind are the ones where I felt alone in a room full of people. But once you embrace it, it does indeed feel like experiencing solitude rather than feeling lonely.

I've traveled a lot throughout my life and from my own experience, I've learned that every time I moved to a new place, it took time to build meaningful friendships. They rarely happen overnight. So every time I find myself in that situation, I embrace the loneliness. I do that by being self-sufficient and resourceful. At the same time, I do make an effort to be social, but I go about it without any expectations. The one thing I've found that can fast-track this process are activities where peop…

It's an interesting twist of events. It looks like women embraced the idea of their emancipation, and shamed men who held on to traditional 50s thinking in favor of the 50/50 lifestyle. But at the same time, they also had the assurance that if they ever got tired of the 50/50 lifestyle, which most do at some point, the 50s era men would be waiting for them in the shadows, ready to swoop them up and protect and provide for them for as long as it served their needs.

Perhaps. The thing is, I encounter this a lot online. Not so much in the real world. I would also say there is a lot more choice today with almost everything compared to 20 years ago. So in the real world, I'm more likely to encounter people who are struggling with anxieties, uncertainty, and paralysis because there is just too much choice. The online world on the other hand offers a reprieve from this as you can easily find your tribe that agrees with your choices and viewpoints. Add in a syste…

It's very black and white. Anyone that does not agree must be cut off. If the brother agrees with his sister, then the brother must cut off his friend. If however, he had chosen his friend over her, then the sister would have been required to cut her brother off.

There is a difference between what people should do and what people will do. You need to care for yourself before others will care for you. That may sound harsh on the surface but if your friend isn't investing in themselves, why should you invest your precious time and energy in them? And that works the other way around to.

If you can't handle other men placing expectations on you, you won't handle women placing expectations on you either. The first thing you need to understand is what society tells you to do and what you should do aren't always aligned. And this is very true when it comes to expectations. You shouldn't care about what other people expect of you. You should only care about the expectations you set for yourself. If you are not setting your own goals in life and then following thru on them, or at lea…

Just do your own thing and you won't need to look for relationships. Relationships will find you. The experience of being in a relationship is still valuable as you'll not only learn about female nature but it will also expose your own faults and weaknesses that your should probably address anyway. It will make you a better person in the long run. Having said that, don't ever sleepwalk into any commitment of any kind. Don't let yourself be pressured into doing things because you think it will pl…

I would say Japan is different. I doubt that education disparity is the issue there. It's more likely because work is considered the highest good above all else, superseding everything including personal and family needs. As such, the Japanese social fabric is really messed up and the phenomena of herbivore men are just one symptom of it. I would be more inclined to compare the college problem to the situation with black people in America. From what I've gathered, on the surface, the demographic…

Short answer, no. Long answer, not really unless you're prepared to risk your relationship based on advice from some random internet user. The thing is, showing her your vulnerability once in a while is probably fine. Showing her your incompetent isn't. Hand her both on a plate and you're just asking for problems. What it boils down to is whatever issue you are facing, you always need to remain in control of your destiny. As in: this is my issue and this is my plan to deal with it/get out of it.…

I have been hearing this argument from the moment the wall fell in '89 and the West European countries got flooded with prostitutes coming in from Eastern Europe. In Belgium, harsh laws were put in place in the early 90s to prosecute pimps and traffickers while offering protections for their victims. However, these laws and support systems are rarely employed because ultimately, the prostitutes almost always refuse to cooperate. 30 years later, I'm of the opinion it's a case of plausible deniabi…

Not all feminists I've met were angry man-haters and it's refreshing to meet one with whom you can have a reasonable conversation even if you don't agree with each other. To give them the benefit of the doubt, I generally group feminists into two camps. One camp promotes the freedom of women, the other camp promotes the safety of women. The freedom camp understands that for a woman to gain agency over her life, she must also accept the inherent risks that come along with being able to make her o…

I've dated Asian women and like all other women, they're not submissive. A healthier relationship dynamic would be to view it as you have a leader and a follower. You as the man should take the lead, while your partner follows. You can switch the roles around, but most women tend to prefer a man who takes the lead in the relationship. What is important is you are not bossing her around or trying to micromanage her. You are simply taking the responsibility to make crucial decisions and then invit…

Hypergamy as a concept may be useful to explain past experiences. It's not very useful as a predictor of the future and basing your decisions on this may actually prove to be counterproductive. For example: If your girlfriend left you shortly after you lost your job, then you could explain her leaving you was due to hypergamy if she gave off signs you were not living up to her expectations. And even then it's only useful in so far you want to analyse your own contribution to the relationship in …

She lives in a patriarchy. You don't. It has pretty much become invisible in our Western culture but we are still ruled by two institutions. One is a female institution that governs over women, and the other is a male institution that governs over us men. If you are a man growing up, it would have been the male institution telling you to man up, get an education, learn a skill, learn to fight, lose your virginity, don't cry, join the army, get a job, work hard, find a girlfriend, get married, bu…
