Men steal women's energy by not participating, not reciprocating, and dumping the tasks on us.

Poor diet, porn and gaming has led to men having literal brain damage and busted dopamine receptors. They have low mental energy. They're mentally lazy. They dump the mental load onto women and get her to do all the thinking, planning, remembering, organizing and executive functioning. If a task has more than 2 steps, he'll mess it up and swear it's an accident, or start blaming her “ridiculous standards” in an attempt to dump his shame at being so incompetent. He's simply no longer mentally capable of performing the few steps required to finish taking out the trash and put a new bag in.

They give disingenuous compliments as a way to dump the mental load. Claiming they're just no good at that, she's much better, women are naturally better at that task, it's all good because he does xyz “man” task.

They use weaponized incompetence to avoid repeatedly failing the task which they know would lead to her disapproval, disgust and eventually ending the relationship. If they never fail in front of her because she's doing the task, problem solved. Energy drained, however.

They play chore chicken or neglect the children because they know the woman will cave and not let the filth build up or the children starve or sit around in a full diaper. He gets to relax his useless brain and she once again is drained of energy by assuming responsibility for these tasks. She expends more energy behind the scenes coming up with ways to motivate, encourage or leverage him into doing his fair share.

Low effort men have no energy to plan dates. They find it mentally taxing to listen to a woman's preferences, remember her dating profile, research restaurants or activities in her area, make a booking, groom themselves and show up to a date with high energy. Low energy men will play “what do you want to do, where do you want to go” games, or suggest netflix and chill, as he has with his past twenty matches. He'll walk one block to the same restaurant. He'll call you the same pet name – honey, babe, sweety. He'll have you saved as Firstname Tinder in his phone. The woman will give up and plan all the dates forever if she wants to do something.

Low energy men have zero interest in performing emotional labor. They don't, and can't, give a shit about your comfort, happiness and well-being. They'll complain they can never make you happy, nothing is ever good enough, and your happiness should be your responsibility, while never actually lifting a finger to make you feel loved or cared about. The woman's energy will be drained by performing emotional labor for her entire family and his extended family, and also taking care of her own emotional needs. He'll smile and say “just ask” and day after day she's drained by having to delegate and manage tasks, which he still won't put real energy into. She'll never feel nourished or cared for.

Poor diet, sleep and exercise and monotonous jobs has led to men having low physical energy. They come home from work (where they voluntarily stay for long hours to avoid child-rearing and housework) and flop into a chair, claiming exhaustion. They FEEL tired so their work must be super important and vigorous, so he deserves to relax. The low energy man steals women's energy with these logical fallacies, guilting and gaslighting her into pulling second and third shifts. How is it she takes care of all the morning tasks, goes to a full day of work, and still manages to have the energy to slog on all evening? And then he requires a porn star performance in bed, further exhausting her and nourishing himself.

Porn, lame hobbies, poor friendships, and toxic socialisation has led to men having low spiritual energy. Being around a bubbly, delightful, pleasant woman, or group of women, is energizing, nourishing and exciting for men. But men with low spiritual energy put out a low vibe, wet-blanket feel in the entire room. Energy vampire men enjoy inserting themselves into women's safe spaces to feed off our feminine energy and leave us drained, demoralised and hollow. They push our boundaries on an individual and societal level and it makes them feel great when they dominate and win. They feel energized fucking with us, intruding, prodding, controlling, coercing and stomping on our boundaries. We feel drained attempting to defend ourselves.

Low energy men steal women's energy by interacting with us.

Getting any kind of reaction, good or bad, energizes men. They expend a small amount and hope for big returns. When we ignore them, don't respond, or block and delete they become furious. The low energy man loves “debates”. The longer he can keep an unsuspecting woman engaged, the more energized he feels. Interrogating, questioning, doubting, pretending not to understand, getting her to prove herself, provide sources, creating circular arguments, pretending to be curious, “just asking questions”, playing devil's advocate and wanting us to hear “both sides” are all ways they steal energy.

The low energy man feels clever, superior, smug and powerful after a long, infuriating fight. You're left emotionally drained and on the verge of tears while he bounces off to bed and sleeps like a baby.

They feel energized by dumping their trauma, emotional problems, work problems, their sixth grade crush dumped them problems and their refusal to work on inner demons on women. Then they dip when it's time to reciprocate. Women being unpaid, unqualified therapists is a massive energy drain everywhere. Every woman in customer service is expected to “brighten up a man's day” with a cheerful smile and pleasant demeanor.

The notion of “giving vs taking touch” is another form of energy stealing. Also called “generous hands” and “greedy hands”. A low energy man will touch women with the intent to gratify and energize himself, and we can feel it. The co-worker who “gives” us a shoulder rub, but we're so hunched up and guarded it's an exhausting encounter. “Wow, you're so tense”. Yes, fuck off Jeremy.

The low energy man enjoys women's generous touch. He feels energized, soothed, nourished, relaxed and revitalized after she touches him. She feels tired. He reciprocates with greedy touch. While giving her a massage, he helps himself to a breast grope, a hand between her thighs and intimate areas, causing her to tense up and flood with cortisol. He's energized by both giving and receiving. Women deal with greedy touch from children all day and a greedy husband all night. They claim "touch" is their love language because they can be greedy and energized both ways. You will mysteriously never feel loved.

Don't get me started on the Ugandan men who literally boast they feel energized by stealing their children's food by coming home for a lunch-time breastfeeding session.

Attempting to normalize age gap relationships, grooming, trying to lower the age of consent, and second marriages to younger wives.

Crusty, doughy, low-T, middle aged, balding, visually unappealing men steal youthful women's energy and spout biOlOgY. They're just naturally attracted to young women's glow. Like moths to a flame. Well, young women aren't attracted to dreary old men! They don't even consider her experience with their musty, out of breath asses. They don't ask if she'd rather be with a young, virile, fit, firm man in his athletic peak. They just walk through life window shopping for the youngest, most energetic woman they can latch onto to 'renew their zest for life' and 'keep them feeling young' with no shits given to how the relationship drains her energy. Age-gap relationships are parasitic and predatory. Using the pool of young women to prop up low-energy men destroys society. Those women will never achieve their own goals, reach self-actualization or fully experience their own lives while shackled to needy, doddering, grasping crypt-keepers.

Just say “No” to men who aren't self-directed towards creating their own energy. If every aspect of his life is draining, he'll set his sights on you as a way to replenish himself, and think nothing of it.
