Reading about outside experiences and statistics and living life personally (29M), I can say the inefficiency of this game we’re all caught up in is a huge waste of suffering and effort.

Essentially everyone is aiming for some outcome for their own gratification in a world of materialism and scarcity. But there is little to no effort to do this in an honest way.

The truth is Women are the selectors. The agents of natural (sexual) selection (In Western modernity at least). And since women have more freedom (power) than ever before, take responsibility for it.

IF the predominant criteria for mate selection is superficially based (height/physical genetics/etc), maybe try not to humiliate men more than necessary and be honest UPFRONT. That would be the truly empathetic thing to do coming from the “fairer gender.” Yeah this goes directly against saving face and self interest for individual women I know. But what is ‘strong and independent’ without honor?

Society should be held accountable for all the lies and just tell men (average men at least) to expect nothing but toil to be there only salvation (SeLf ImPrOvEmEnT). Stop lying about expectations of some fairytale happiness we’re lead to strive for by media and pop culture. Treat men better by preparing them. That’s all I’m arguing for.
