Are you saying there's a way to know who is an asshole and who is genuine in OLD before interacting with them? I'm saying that most people don't behave like that, and if you keep running into people who do, there's a problem on your end. Look for patterns. Look at how people present themselves. Look at how you present yourself. Online, we're all marketers. You can improve your chances for success with anything. You will always run into idiots, but you shouldn't be running into nothing but idiots…

Yes, it's the fault of the individual. However, if the average person isn't a harasser yet you claim that almost everyone is harassing you, you may need to reevaluate your approach to life. Also, more than half of the points she outlined in her post wouldn't be categorized as harassment, so why set up a straw man?

Are you saying that the vast majority of men on dating apps are garbage human beings who do nothing but harass women for sex? If so, I'm not interested in having a worthless discussion.

Don't speak for me, and don't make this about sexism. Plenty of amazing women have found partners online. I'll say this again: If you think the vast majority of men are trash or the vast majority of women are hos, you need to analyze your choices and look for patterns in your own behavior. Look at how you present yourself, and look at how the people you're attracted to present themselves. Most likely, there's an issue somewhere in there.

You can't. However, certain personality traits can be communicated through body language, clothes, and text. If you think the vast majority of men are trash or the vast majority of women are hos, you need to analyze your choices and look for patterns in your own behavior.

Here's my take: Most "genuine" women looking for long-term relationships leave because they find partners fairly quickly. Those who linger are mostly unaccountable women who ask questions like this.

There's absolutely nothing average men could do to fix your problem. Based on your experiences, it's pretty clear what kind of men you're drawn to, and it's not "genuine" guys.

I’m not making this to say boo hoo poor men or poor me, just that it’s not that women are inherently more attractive then men but that society encourages men to not put in effort. Regardless of effort, the average women is inherently more attractive than the average man. If women weren't, they wouldn't have survived. They wouldn't have attracted the attention of strong, competent men. Just as women didn't evolve to be as physically strong as men, men didn't evolve to be as physically beautiful a…

I agree. However. men will also care less about intimacy in a sexual relationship as they get older. At that point, they can get the intimacy they crave from elsewhere. The problem with young sexless guys is they often put both sex and intimate relationships with women on a pedestal because many of them have never experienced either in abundance before. Plus, they've never developed a strong sense of self, so they derive all of their self-worth from young women, who are often more flawed than th…

Eating raw fruit definitely isn't the same as just drinking the fruit juices. Yes, fruit juice is way too easy to overconsume. However, outside of the tropics, fruits were abundant for only a few months out of the year, and herbivores didn't have enough greens to maintain high body fat during the colder months, which resulted in leaner prey for humans. Therefore, before agriculture and animal husbandry, high-fat and high-sugar foods were available together only during autumn. The brief availabil…

Yeah, because in the wild, cats eat raw meat, organs, bones, feathers, insects, and grass. They're not supposed to spike their insulin throughout the day with high-carbohydrate kibble fortified with synthetic nutrients (sounds like the Western diet). That's why I've never witnessed our cats throwing hissy fits for more food, whereas most people complain about their cats constantly being hungry. And humans aren't supposed to be snacking on grains and refined sugar/fat throughout the day either. M…

Finding what works best for you can take an eternity. It took me over a decade to get to where I am. I did standard bodybuilding in my teens and 20s (no roids), and I developed joint issues due to overuse (2+ hr workouts and few rest days) and digestive issues due to diet (too many raw veggies and grains). Thankfully, I resolved both with lifestyle tweaks. My wife got all of the wisdom without the pain of trial and error. I designed her a workout routine, and she's stuck to it for nearly three y…

Probably. But an hour a day isn't necessary, IMO. I do 10 minutes per day during weekdays (50 minutes per week), and my wife would vouch that I'm in better shape than most men. If you're a guy, a consistent, high-intensity workout regimen paired with a nutritious, protein-dense diet is all you need to stay in great shape. Also, maintain a good sleep schedule to optimize your hormone levels and recovery. I stick to a HIIT calisthenics/dumbbell/barbell routine with no rest between sets. I do super…

Meh, it wouldn't be a problem unless my wife was flirting with a man or obsessing about him. My sense of self doesn't depend on validation from my partner, and my life doesn't revolve around her. I've always taken care of my body, but I know I'm nowhere near as facially attractive as the most attractive men around me. I have an ugly mug, and there's nothing I can do to change that. When it comes to looks, I can't compete with a modelesque man who has exotic features. However, I believe my wife h…

Your "hypothetical" is FDS LARPing. A more realistic scenario is most women end up settling for someone who has a similar RMV. Some try their luck with Chad and get burned, while others step into reality early on and get a high value mate near their own level. Few women are sociopathic or delusional enough to sit around scheming for decades about screwing over a poor schmuck for all he's got. Most people aren't dead inside.

Sounds like a bunch of degenerates setting themselves up for a life of misery. We don't have to pick, and I'd rather be neither. You think the average sane woman has the heart to use a man for all he's got? Cool sociopathic fantasy—but let's get back to reality.

Any individual who looks at certain people as "losers" to be stored away for later use is a garbage human being. They're likely a delusional loser themselves, and their marriage(s) will definitely fail. If those women were winners, they'd be able to lock down "REAL" marriage material men early. There'd be no need for them to "use" anyone.

Single divorced women are less likely to remarry than men. Do we know how much of this could be due to double-dipping with alimony? I can't find stats on how many women receive alimony in the United States (in 2014, over 16% of divorced women received alimony in the Netherlands, for example). However, most articles I've read mention that men make up only 3-10% of alimony recipients in the United States. That said, I agree with the conclusions of your post. Compared to my wife, I'm infinitely mor…

My wife never wears makeup, and she gets hit on almost every time she rides the tram. And although she has one potato-quality photo (again, without makeup) on Facebook, she often gets messages from random men of all ages from her sister's friends list. Also, her disgusting cousin, who lives near us, has a new boyfriend each week, though she's constantly depressed and breaking down. From where I stand—yeah, women get a lot of attention.

Getting a six pack is mostly about maintaining a high protein to energy ratio. Unless you want to look like a professional bodybuilder, you don't need to spend that much time in the gym. I have a six pack and I do only 10 minutes (50 minutes per week) of HIIT calisthenics per day (no rest between sets).

More likely. But that doesn't mean all, or most, of the men complaining about gender dynamics on here are below average in looks. If you pay attention to what many of these guys say, it becomes pretty clear that there is a much deeper problem. I experienced significantly more failures than successes in dating. That's pretty normal. If I had chosen to be bitter about my struggles, I could've spent years complaining on Reddit. But that would've been a colossal waste of time and energy.

Yeah, I doubt it "explains pretty much everything" about anything. The characteristics women often find attractive in men are typically not found in the average man. If you're a guy of average height with an average face and an average bank account, dating isn't going to be a walk in the park. However, that doesn't necessarily mean you're horrifically ugly. If you believe it's worthwhile to pursue a relationship, you can embrace the challenge. If you feel the juice isn't worth the squeeze, you c…

That says more about the company you keep than anything else. However, you're right that most people are in unhealthy marriages. When I was in school, most of my classmates didn't get straight A's, because very few were willing to put in the necessary work. The same applies to building a successful marriage.

Really? From what I've seen, there are way too many men here who view themselves as worthless. Very few men are physically attractive enough to turn heads. After maximizing his physique, a man of average height with an average face must find other ways to stand out. But the self-defeatism and self-hatred exhibited by many of these damaged men (excluding those born with severe malformations) prevent them from developing qualities women find attractive in the opposite sex (e.g., confidence, assert…

But OK Cupid included the same graph in one of their official blog posts: https://theblog.okcupid.com/a-womans-advantage-82d5074dde2d In it, they stated that women show similar messaging behavior regardless of their attractiveness. They also stated that women rarely message men. Why would they use this data?

Good looking guys send the most messages (compared to other guys), and unattractive women send the most messages (compared to other women). Not really. According to the graph you linked, the lowest percentile women and the highest percentile woman send the same amount of messages: just over 2.5.

I agree that it's a subset. But it's far from a negligible one. The erotica genre makes up a quarter of the fiction market, grossing well over $1B per year. When it comes to sales, it puts other literary genres to shame. Considering how cheap most romance novels are, that's pretty impressive. And it goes beyond books. For example, 365 Days was in the top 10 of Netflix for over 40 weeks last year, setting records. The 50 Shades of Grey movie raked in over half a billion dollars worldwide.

There's a reason why we consume any type of media. For example, many of us either watch shows or read books about murderers because the unknown scares us more than anything else. We want to shine a light on the terror that lurks in the dark and attempt to make sense of it all. We desire to feel like we have some control over the uncontrollable. Let's say a guy or gal was constantly reading books about torturing animals and innocent people (in explicit detail). Do you believe that doesn't reveal …

Yeah, a clear-headed person would recognize the dangers. She's turning 40 soon, and she owns a beautiful home in one of the best parts of the country. You'd figure someone with that much life experience and that many life accomplishments would've accrued enough wisdom to make wiser decisions—but clearly not. Spending decades immersed in consumer culture turned her into a lizard-brained NPC.

I think a slight majority of women eventually grow out of it because they realize those men are bad for them. Yeah, they do become wiser, but that doesn't necessarily mean they stop feeling physical attraction to those men. The average romance novel reader is 42, and most popular romance novels feature bad boys. IMO these novels offer a safe way for middle-aged married women to scratch their bad boy itch without breaking up their marriage. In general, women are drawn to confident, brave, asserti…

No disrespect, but if a person (male or female) is repeatedly failing at something in life, they're usually doing something wrong—that is, if they're actually trying. In your case, maybe you're falling for the same types of toxic men? Some of the attributes you're attracted to may not be the best for you in the long run.

Last year, that shitty movie 365 days, in which a woman is kidnapped by a mafia boss in Italy, broke records after spending over 40 weeks on the top 10 list of Netflix.

When people aren’t successful, but can change what’s making them unsuccessful, my first go to advice would be try to change ie, lose weight so you can broaden your pool of potential mates as wide as possible. If we're talking about Black Pillers, I tend to agree. Most Black Pillers have given up on improving themselves and pursuing women, so failure is to be expected. You can't succeed if you're too busy beating up on yourself. From what I've seen, however, many Red Pillers who put in the work a…

It will make them more attractive to a subsect of women. Meanwhile, OP is implying they'll never be attractive to any women, period. If Red Pillers want to live a degenerate lifestyle, so be it. There are plenty of masochistic, submissive women who are willing to play along. It's not my duty to police the lives of consenting adults, nor is doing so a good use of my time.

If she wasn't married to you and could pick between two versions of you with or without the ideology, she'd pick without. Maybe, but that's not how the real world works.

So? I don't care about attracting the average person, and neither should anyone else. My wife knows my views on the opposite sex. I don't have to hide anything from her. Despite her disagreeing with many (not all) of my conclusions, she still loves me. It's funny how many women scream NAWALT when presented with negative generalizations but scream AWALT when pushing their own agenda. Not all women share your views. Get over yourself.

And none of my male friends have ever criticized the appearance of their friends' partners. If they did, they wouldn't be my friends for much longer. You don't get to speak for all women.

For many people, a proper diet and lifestyle is the best skin regimen. Several years ago, my wife's skin problems (along with her PCOS) gradually disappeared after she cut down on grains and sugar (including fruit).

Neither one of those things are unreasonable, in my opinion. It's now easier than ever for anyone to find what they're looking for, though it's still challenging. Regardless of what an individual's standards are, they're better off valuing quality over quantity when it comes to long-term commitments. Whether someone is searching for a high-quality romantic relationship or a lifelong friendship, 99.9% of people probably aren't a good fit for them. That's how it's always been.

You just found out that 25 matches is good for a man. You referred to the average man as "trash". Rest assured, one could easily refer to the average woman as "trash" as well. With the piles and piles of "trash" people on these apps, imagine what it's like to get only 2-3 matches rather than 100+. Your odds of finding a worthwhile partner on them becomes overwhelmingly unlikely. IMO, men need to get the hell off of dating apps, not invest more time and energy into them.

Do they use BMI to determine the obesity rate? There are definitely more obese men than ever before, but BMI is a lazy, terrible way to measure leanness in men. It doesn't take body composition into account, and it penalizes taller individuals. For all we know, there are several times as many jacked men as ever before. According to BMI, I'm overweight despite having a low body fat percentage and visible abs. I'd imagine many lean bodybuilders are obese according to BMI.
