I think men are scared shitless of women. If we get close to them and they feel something for us, we might let them down. I don't think much frightens a man more than losing grace from a woman he cares about. We desperately want this thing that scares us. As the video suggests and I think the idea is solid, we can give and receive affection from men in a narrow, well defined context. It has rules and standards. With women ist's quite nebulous.

Thanks for posting this. The comments about sports remind me of how much high level athletes in team sports thrive on the camraderie they have with teammates. As they set to retire they fear they'll never find that again, and they seldom do. I think cops and firefighters and men in the military often feel the same. Like athletes these men have proven themselves, and I think that removes some of the fear that they'll be questioned as not necessarily gay but as soft if they express emotion or tend…

I think you're basically right, OP. I'm old, and men have my entire life looked for ways to outkick their coverage. TRP seems to be different things to different people, but it seem to have a core of guys who want a way to really do this. And ironically, the more fucked up a guy and his life is, the more he can improve. And developing some style, getting in shape, honing your social skills, and actually trying to meet women have always been the tools, because those things have always mattered to…

I'm not there regarding feminism but in a general sense we probably do agree. And I do think boys need more attention and early interventions when they're lagging behind socially, and maybe learning environments that are more conducive to some boys' learning styles.

How are the people of California not "local people"? And the Missouri rep was arguing for 16 and 17 year olds to be allowed to marry each other, with parental consent, which is the current law. I think kids that young marrying is a bad idea, but I don't think it's abusive or asymmetrical. Not my business if someone else wants to let their kid marry another kid. In New Hampshire a rep did argue, I'm pretty sure during a debate on lowering the age of consent, that letting "ripe and ferftile" girls…

If you've put up a facede, is it really better to let it down later than earlier? As you suggest, at a point where ending the relationship is more complicated? I'm not suggesting men get lazy out of some higher motive, but I'd suggest that women who maintain the facade aren't acting on a higher motive either. I'm not sure I even agree that women do this all that well, but if they do it's no bargain for men. In an unintended way being a less effective fake spares the other person.

So women do the same thing and men end up disappointed with the real her when that person emerges. Men, to their everlasting discredit, are more likely to accept this because they're getting some. But men who suggest that women are deceptive in an effort to meet their needs seem to have a less receptive audience.

Feminism is like labor unions. Each were desperately needed to address systemic abuses. Both have had a fair amount of success, and that creates the impression that they're no longer needed. And yet in 2024 we're 2 years post Dodd and there's a good chance women will lose some access to contraception. And some states can't simply outlaw child marriages (the child is always a woman) because 13 year old girls are "ripe", to quote a republican state rep speaking on the record. And 12 year old's are…

Kids are going to be cruel sometimes, and it's often easy to just look at a kid and know whether he gets picked on or not. But an adult leading children ought to be a sort of safe haven for those children, expecially the ones other kids abuse. I'm all for guiding a passive kid toward being more assertive. It's a major life skill and we ought to do more to help kids acquire that skill, and I'd agree it's especially important for boys. But I stand by what I said. Thinking of a 7 or 8 year old chil…

"Do you understand the problem?" Sure. The problem is adults deciding to show contempt for children those adults deem to be weak or cowardly. Contempt never taught anyone a fucking thing. Show the kid how. Put him or her in situations where they can do well. Don't write them off.

The answer to this is for men to not wait an inordinate amount of time while a woman determines his motives, patience, or whatever else she's considreing while they both dance around what they both want to do. I get the desire to avoid "just wants sex" men, but on the other hand, so many LTRs start off with sex happening quickly, so what does waiting really do? I can see why it feels like a game of chicken at some point. Assuming she's genuinely attracted to the guy, is she really worried that h…

I don't know how often this happens when there isn't another explanation, like she doesn't do X any more because that was 10 years ago, or she doesn't like it, or it's risky and she's been burned, etc. But if there really is grounds for a person to not feel special, can you see how crappy that feels. The proper response is to leave, but you leave feeling a little bruised.

Isn't TRP aimed at the men who never had much luck in their teens and early 20s? Doesn't it promote the idea that looking as good as you reasonably can (gym) polishing up your social skills, and making money will result in you being attractive to women who ignored you before? I think you're pretty close to right, but isn't your stance that TRP is full of shit?

Sports will make or break some kids, boys especially given gendered expectations. But as the OP pointed out, other group activities can be really useful for learning to fit into a group for kids who can't just do that. It's no panacea, but what is? But back to your choice of terms, kids who don't live up to your standards for courage aren't deserving of your contempt, full stop. Please convince me they are.

I don't know that this prescription is the complete answer, but addressing the social needs of boys who are lagging behind can't hurt. The earlier the better. If a boy (or girl) wakes up at 11 or 12 without a clue he's likely in for a rough decade at least. And that rough decade can damn near seal in some maladaptive behavior he'll spend a lifetime battling.

First of all, you teach boys and apparently you think it's ok to refer to some boys as pussies. That's interesting. I was and I still am shy. I was a good athlete, and that's a social skill of sorts, for boys and girls. It inoculates boys from being called pussies, for example, and it gives girls a healthier view of their bodies as more than ornamental. But mostly, you know, the pussy thing.

My comment was in response to the question, "how many women have had sex with you and told you you are useless with that penis size?". It wasn't primarily about this thread or your comment. As to your comment, I hadn't seen it so I looked for it when this thread started, and I thought it was straight to the point but as gentle as you could be for the point to be clearly made.

But if young men and young women are single at about the same rate, that makes the problem not just a men's problem but a young person's problem.

In the text of the OP that appears to be quoting from the link it says that 56% of adults and 54% of men have had a relationship as a teen, so if the #s of men and women are equal, about 58% of women will have had a relationship. That's not very skewed, especially considering that young women tend to date men a few years older than them.

I think it's more the case that men hear or read comments from women disparaging men with small penises, and if that descibes his, he feels the sting. If a man is sensitive to those kinds of comments, there's no lack of them floating around.

I'm not here to tell anyone they're fat and an identical BMI can look quite different on two different people, but saying a BMI over 21 fat is ridiculous. A woman who is 5'4" and weighs 123 lbs. would be fat by that standard. A man at 5'9" and 143 would be fat, unless this isn't meant to apply to men? A BMI of 25 is a pretty regular person, especially for an adult. That's a woman of 5'4" and 145 and a man of 5'9" and 170.

People often use the word "fault" when "responsibility" would better fit. But even "responsible" implies "blame" in some people's minds. A man may not be at fault or in anyway to blame for his dating struggles, but he's responsible for the actions he takes to try to overcome those struggles.

Stopped by to say that having a preference is totally natural. I can't think of many instances when it's all that beneficial to talk about them, though. Especially preferences that are popularly shared. There's nothing all that interesting about "I prefer thin women" or "I prefer tall men".

It's not healthy to call unequal dating or relationship results an injustice. I mean I empathize with feeling fucked over because you're not as sought after as other people. I wasn't. But there's no remedy for this. And better life outcomes fall to people who are more naturally intelligent than others, born into better circumstances, etc. We're part of nature, and nature sorts. We still have a choice in how we respond to this, and our response has something to do with our life outcomes.

OP here. I see entitlement as feeling deserving of a privilege or of special treatment. If a man is rejected and he comes off as if the woman should not only have said yes but should have been flattered by his offer, and genuinely believes that, that's entitlement. There's lots of crappy responses to rejection that should be called out, but they're often more about a lack of emotional control. It doesn't justify a tantrum or a screed, but then call the behavior a tantrum or a screed and condemn …

Is there a "truth" regarding dating beyond an obligation to treat people decently? Is there a "truth" regarding the use of language or it's purpose? Invoking "truth" in this context, one where individuals are free to date whom they want and the use of a word that can serve many purposes beyond it's literal meaning seems a reach.

Good faith use of language is part of why this interests me. Discussions or negotitations are pretty much impossible unless two parties agree on what terms mean. But in my view because a word like entitlement gets applied too broadly or always with negative connotations, that can bu used as cover for people who are acting entitled.

On this site anyway, there seem to be more men who think their dating struggles are an injustice. Seems more women are willing to accept that what she wants may not be available to her, at least not now. Some aspects of dating suck for some men in ways they suck for far fewer women. I think we're going through a transition (fewer marriages, marrying later, big changes from technology) and some people are feeling left behind, and some actually are and it's mostly not their faults unless they acti…

I'm glad you're enjoying the thread, but to be honest I was hoping to shine a light on the overuse of the word, but that's because there are times when it really does apply and overusing a term cheapens it's meaning and lessens it's usefuleness..

Deserve is another term that can cloud this issue, though. It has a moral tone to it. I think some people look at relationships too logically, so they believe that being X and Y should lead to being seen as attractive and then to a relationship. I'm not sure that person, as misguided as he may be, feels he deserves a relationship so much as he's confused because he followed the plan and no relationship resulted. It's a huge misread of how this works, but I'm not sure he thinks he deserves anythi…

I see it happening after the fact when someone is trying to explain their sparse dating history, often to themselves. Most people find time to date if that's their goal, unless dating is a real challenge for them.

But those issues disproportionaely impact men. Not all men or even most men to the extent that their lives are greatly impacted.

You're only a hypocrite if you disparage people of the opposite sex who have the same issue you do, like a fat man ripping on fat women or vice vdrsa, or in some cases the opposite issue when social judgments differ by sex. So short men would hopefully not disparage very tall women, and loud bositerous women, who aren't as accepted as similar men, would hopefully not disparage quiet men, who aren't as accepted as quiet women.

I think on average being shy is more of a hindrance for men than for women, so shy men who are struggling (not all struggle) may wish or may expect that shy women get together with them.

A lack of sex is a valid reason to split. Your real point, that women get a pass if they cheat because of a lack of sex in a relationship is overstated, but there is some merit to it. It seems that when a woman cheats because of a lack of sex some people will just think she's a whore and not inquire beyond that, but some will express understanding for her plight. I'm in the latter group. If a man cheats due to a lack of sex, he's often assumed to be too demanding, not understanding of her reason…

Two things can both be true. Women have reason to be more afraid of men in an immediate, "some shit could go wrong that I'm not equipped to handle" kind of way, than vice versa. By a long shot. In contexts like this sub, some women stretch the relevance of #1 to try and make points in discussions. 2 is in no way equivalent to 1, but in an environment like this it can be pretty annoying. Bears, basically.

If I understand correctly, the powers that be at Reddit don't want blackpill/incel content anywhere. The mods here seem to be following that edict. I would prefer that looks be allowed in some discussions, but that would take so much moderation and frequent (constant) excising of BP/Incel stuff that it would be untenable. So here we are. But I also think you may be off base in your assertion regarding strategies. For men, who we're really talking about, the exceptionally attractive among us who …

I mean I can relate to the quick sense of "well shit, that sucks" when a woman a man likes who seems to like him has her head turned by a man in the friend group or the class or office who everyone knows is a jerkoff. It's her business and her choice, but no fun to experience. It happens to women too.

Assessing your own attractiveness and asking out women you think are attractive and which you think you match well with isn't entitlement. Not getting dates and being frustrated is just that, frustration, and asking the sky or anyone listening why you can't date someone you feel well suited for is also not eveidence of entitlement. If you get insistant about who or the type of woman you should be able to attract, that is eveidence of a sense of entitlement, which seems to be what you're doing.

It's not women's job to reward decency in men. Some women understand this too well, but that's a different topic.

You note down thread that some men (black pilled) also reify their emotions, but you determine that they're a negligible minority and so not relevant to your claim that there's a sex based difference in this tendency. Do you have any #s to back that up? Any #s to support your claim that women do this more than men? You cite common manosphere talking points related to singele motherhood or fat acceptance as evidence, but you don't offer any data or anything that could be called evidence. In fact …

I think one of the things people who lack relationship experience miss out are those lessons. Not along that specific dimension, but young men are trying to figure out where they fit too, and while it's tough to be part of the other person's learning experience, it often goes with the territory of young people (men and women) in relationships.

I agree with everything you said regarding men being a threat to women. I have two daughters, and I told both of them that they will never go wrong listening to the voice in their head telling them a man's behavior or demeanor is a concern. Or to be blunt, his existence in some scenarios, like being alone with a man they have no reason to trust. That trust has to be earned, and a stranger in a parking garage hasn't earned it. But, if this is common knowledge, then what in your opinion is the poi…

I can't agree with this affirmative statement. I understand why you make it in response to the thread you referenced, which was way off base. But women, and men, sometimes cheat in relationships they admit are healthy. I counter with, "The reason some men and women cheat can be entirely about the cheating person and unrelated to the quality of the relationship".

If women think that men are dangerous, a man telling them we're not dangerous will only heighten their concerns. Like are you asking women to be less cautious? That's not a concern. Nope.

I agree, and I think prior to social media we had talk radio as it emerged right after the fairness doctrine dissolved and opened the door for media outlets to let the market determinw what voices got heard, without regard to balance. Fairness Doctrine died in 1987, and not coincidentally Rush Limbaugh launched his national media career in 1988. Fox news in the 90s. Public discourse has coarsened since then and by the time social media was born entered an a;ready crueler world, which it fed off …

You're better informed, but I think the person you're speaking with had a point whether he knows why or not. Friedan used an existing term or idea about the mysterious, unknowable nature of women, which was put forth as a kind of benevolent sexism, and pinned it, ironically, to the expectation that housework and children are women's true and desired destiny. Would have been a pretty artful bit of rhetoric had he known.

There isn't enough substance in the original comment to debate. As others have pointed out, women have a greater in group bias than men, which might refute the popint if there was one. If we're talking about things like MeTo, then there is a point, but I'm not sure. As an aside, I think men sometimes use the term hivemind in an effort to coopt the term which is frequently used by women.

I'm sorry that's been your experience. I know plenty of women who recognize that beyond the considerable problem of unwanted attention, most women still get wanted attention and that can be a benefit to them, as opposed to most men who get little or none. This happens in civil conversations where women aren't being accused of being selfish or worse, so they're not on the defensive. Try that some time. And know that this situation pisses me off, too, as a man in the little or none category of att…

It's a shame that some men can't see beyond their solipsism and recognize that unattractive people have a hard way to go, men and women. And the idea that some men will fuck sheep so therefore there's a man out there for the OP may be less of a balm than it's intended to be. Wouldn't you hope that any self respecting woman would pass on the sheep fucker and remain alone? I hope no sheep are on this site, but if there are, I'm sorry to throw ewe under the bus.

There are men here who currently or in the recent past have frequented incel or incel adjacent sites, yes. It's pretty clear from their language and tone. But not everyone complaining or agreeing with complaints is an incel, and for those who are, there's usually some kernel of reality bound up in their convoluted thinking. Dating problems in the west are always a personal issue, but one that takes place within a system or a structure that seems to be leaving some men behind in dating and other …

I'm not in favor of mandatory paternity testing and I think the topic is designed to highlight something about "women", ahen it really only applies to a small minority of individuals. But your comment really does define what a piece of shit a woman is who does engage in this sort of deception. I'm male and I get the anxiety men may feel, not just about being the father or not but about the consequences of a choice a woman can make that a man has to accept on faith, or risk blowing up a marriage …

The talk of institutionalizing paternity tests is an insult to the 98% (using OP #s) women who are not deceiving their partner about paternity. An overreach and an intrusion the state has no real right to pursue. But the laws around this are pretty fucked up. Many states in the US still operate on old common law notions that a man is presumed to be the father of his wife's child. And that has some legal power even after he's been shown not to be the father. On a personal level, I could see mysel…

Sure women complain if a man they want to date or the man they are dating is interacting with underwear models. I'm older than you and before people really focused on the treatment of sex workers, the argument against porn was that it gave men unrealistic expectations about how women should look and act. Many women felt their seelf esteem took a hit or doubted their partner's attraction to them. The concern about possible trafficking or other forms of abuse is the better argument, but I know wom…

I assume you're a straight woman. Do you want a man you're in a relationship with to desire you, and to make that clear? I think that's what men who reference chad are hoping for. They're just convinced it can't happen for them. And then women say something like "men expect chad treatment without being chad", and it kinda reinforces the men's doubts or beliefs.

Basing anything on this blog post is probably a mistake. I think there may have been a feature where rating a person as attractive was communicated to them, which would give women a real disincentive to rate men highly just to be nice. But then why rate them at all? Still, I'm not sure how I'd feel being graced with a response from someone who rates me as unattractive. Small consolation.
