The real epidemic is social media. Rotting our minds and creating a future of dummies.

I think your issue is you're using only dating apps. As a tip - when you are entertaining concern for society - you're actually concerned about yourself but can't actually entertain self reflection because of your ego.

We have short circuited our brains with instant gratification. No one wants to put in the effort. As a result we end up with a population laying on their stinking couch with a flaccid dick in their hands.

That's why its easier to succeed now then ever before in history as your only competition is YOU and that guy(on the couch).

Go hit a heavy, grueling workout. Come back home, shower, and make yourself a tasty, healthy, and filling meal. Once you’ve done that and are a little more level headed, reread all the shit you wrote here and think about how cringe and whiny it all sounds.

I think the result of dating apps are just easy hypergamy for women. About 1/3 young people are on them, mostly men. And most of these men don’t get laid.

Get in the top 20% of men and enjoy easy pussy. In fact it has never been easier to get laid for me at least since I got on Tinder. And I’m not looking for a relationship with a special unicorn, neither should you. That is not what is going to make you happy.

My man, you aren’t even red pill yet, read the sidebar.

Didn’t read. A lot of whining it seems. Just stop using social media and devote your time to something more productive. Learn about the stock market, for example. You won’t give a slightest fuck about what your buddies are posting or how big Jeniffer’s ass looks on IG. You just lose interest when you have a passion for something. My only social media is Reddit, Youtube, and Telegram. I use all of them to look up market related stuff.

So, you're frustrated with dating apps for two reasons: The shallowness of it and your own morality.

If you haven't figured out that humans are shallow creatures by now, I don't know what to tell you besides you either have a low IQ or you need to learn how to observe. Adapt or die.

As for your own morals, that's on you. You're either getting what you want or you aren't. If you aren't getting what you want, you're either too weak to get it or your goal is unrealistic.

I don't disagree with your observations or conclusions, but I do think your attitude is wrong. You shouldn't be upset over things like this.

Unatural selection creat dummies, social media just exploit them. Dummy.

Don't consume. Produce content and use it to your advantage.

dunkmaster6856 · 2021-10-11T19:35:10+00:00

Look, i agree social media is cancer but if you cant meet people irl thats a you problem. It is not hard at all, you just have to, you know, go outside and talk to people

Edit: seems the man had a gf a month ago and now is hurting. Dont be too cruel everyone

interfacespacerace · 2021-10-11T21:20:24+00:00

Depends on how you use them. They are tools like any other. A tool doesn't have an intrinsic goodness or evilness. It's how you use a tool that matters.

This is what I went off on a few days ago. Funny, I got loads up upvotes but also a lot of complaints along the lines of:

"If you can get matches and avoid sounding autistic through texts, it works"

I didn't focus on how dating apps create a deteriorating attention span (although it undoubtedly does), but rather on how apps like Tinder shift the attention economy in favour of women and how detrimental it is to men to serve as the fodder for the female attention economy and toxic apps like Instagram, Tinder, and OnlyFans. The point is not that these apps cannot be used with success, it's that there is a price to be paid by men and that price is the huge time sink swiping or texting on women wasting your time who only want attention instead of IRL interactions.

Not trying to tell other men what to do at all, just be aware of the cost/benefit analysis at all times. I still think if you are single, solid daygame and nightgame are where it's at, not to mention spending those wasted cycles on getting 1% better every day.

TheSunshineMan · 2021-10-11T14:06:21+00:00

"Because it's not common, and mostly considered creepy to approach someone and ask for a number... I'm almost forced to use these apps."

Get off social media as it's only polluting your mind if this is what you think.

Women love to get cold approached in the street..

It's a breath of fresh air vs hiding behind a phone screen as you swipe on Tinder.

You're not forced to use apps..

You as you don't feel comfortable getting out of your comfort zone and going up to a girl you see walking down the street and having a regular human to human conversation.

If anything it's the opposite.

Daygame is like a cheat code to getting an abundance of women in your life for the average guy.

The same guy that gets no matches, or very few, conversations that lead nowhere, rarely if every any dates, can go out today on the street and grab 5-10 phone numbers.

Even if you suck at texting and game, good chances is at least 1 out of those 5-10 lands naked in your bed.

And if you add proper game to that..

You know exactly what to say, how to say it, what exact texts to send, how to set up the date correctly, how to run the date, how to flirt and sexually escalate..

Now you're getting 10+ numbers in a day.

And out of those 10 numbers, 2-3-4-5 of those girls can land in your bed.

If you want what other people have, you need to be willing to do what other people won't

This. With all the redpill, world control, corona and politic rabbit holes we tend to get lost in we sometimes forget the hands down number one reason for society being down the gutter: social media.

Shut down the internet and apart from some logistical issues society and human interaction will be back to the 80s and 90s where we left it. Guaranteed.

coucoulavie · 2021-10-11T13:59:51+00:00

"See is you can resist the easy"

What if you try meeting people without dating apps ?

Social media reflect the user. If I would give an example it would be like fast food, it's convient and good for a quick bit or dessert but if you eat as your main source of food then the problem becomes your own.

Social media is a powerful thing it reflects the user or users intent. They control their life and how they use it . Every human invention that is powerful has thT first phase of people blaming the object like the object. In school they added subject because they decided its a good training for kids too prepare them to survive better like P.E class yet today's problem is nutrition education ppl think you can out work out a bad diet and don't know what even protein and carbs are. Going back to human invention thing the list is long but think about when they invented guns , cars, and let's go back to the origins like fire the very thing that can burn your whole forest down if used properly can cook you food for your whole tibe which became the biggest bridge to the road of developing our consciousness BTW .

Social media is a direct connection not matter the distance to other human beings. Politics used it for leverage and now ppl are realize after that mistake . It's basically the wild wild west Era of the internet . A lot of things are free now online that will be restricted in the future. So the issues you're seing are the growing pains of this new direction humanity its taking.

we are in control to use for our help us rather than using it to avoid misery only to get addicted to it like drugs when drugs are made as a tool to helps heal.

For tinder I'd say it's a problem because tinder is exposing the sex matrix that was hidden for a long time which is hypergamy the average dude doesn't know that and was raised that women are like Disney princess so the average dude Sign up for tinder thinking girls like him for his looks too and personality when tinder is a shallow version of what goes on in real life sex dominance hierarchy. It's shallow because it only help the super power of women which is looks but does help the super power of men shine which is things beyond looks n visual shit . So what happens next is that the average guy which is 80 % of men becomes another battery to the sex matrix on the app. And becomes the attention fuel for girls to fill their validation tank and feel good enough for that night to go become Chad's booty call again .

Social media is exposing more of the society heirchy weakness . Making the strong stronger and weak weaker its invention of money all over again in form of attention.

Social media isn't the problem. The problem is our society lack of education in sexual hierchy , and personal management and personal mental health education and the lack of it

Not that you're wrong, mostly, but you're taking on too much. Who gives a fuck about society? This society literally hates you and couldn't care less if you dropped dead tomorrow. I feel like you were onto something when you said voting is pointless, now extrapolate that logic into your concern for the morality of "society". You're probably romanticizing previous epochs of dating. Just have fun, dating apps are great for meeting people. I've met tons of sloots who I gave a good time, not:

lure someone to my place and do something awful to them

I think you have baggage in this regard. having casual sex isn't aweful unless you're an aweful person. Be respectful to women but also understand they have agency here too. A fun respectful time is nice for both people, and these apps can facilitate such encounters. I've also met lovely women who I've LTRed on these apps. You get what you put in, date in an unironic and unbitter way and delete girls who are wasting your time or ghosting. If you're actually looking for a gf say that and you'll be a premium guy on these apps. How many dudes go on the apps and say (sincerely) that they're looking for something serious? Almost none. You might match better women since that's what most women want.

Where do you think zombies will come from? Some virus? Nope. Social media is rotting brains.

PepinoSF · 2021-10-11T21:08:59+00:00

Dating apps are the horn of plenty for women. They have there tons of hungry simps willing to do everything for them. Same for top 1% of men. The rest of us have the right to feel screwed.

But in the era of dating apps the bitches hit the wall much harder and much sooner than before. At 30 they realize that they cannot compete in Tinder and have no social and family skills to attract real men in the real life. They became really bitter.
