This generation of men seek help from women as a first step when they can't succeed in dating by their own under the logic that a woman understand what other women want ... But here is the issue , they find out that most of the time it doesn't work ... The advices from women that were meant to help these men end up benefiting other women and extracting even more resources from said men. The procedure that was a guarantee success in movies and social culture seems to never work when applied to the current dating world .

Here is the issue , There is almost no alternative. But why ? Because women and society made sure to label every other way as " wrong " ... A man adopted the " Red pill " , then he's an incel . A man seeked his male friends , then he's not a real man . A man followed the recipe his successful " Chad " gave him , then he is misogynistic and only see women as objects .

And this is why most modern men refuse to follow any other path in dating beside the one women offer . Aka : a high standards to meet + a huge investment that drains the man's resources and no expectation or else a ruined social reputation .

You may reached this far but still ask what this got to do with previous generation of men , i will explain :

Do you know what previous generation of men believed about dating ? Women can never offer sex easily and a man needed to work so hard for it or even wait until marriage . THEN IT HAPPENED ... The media started focusing on the life of successful Chads and average men who got rich or become part of the social life of Chads realized how everything they were raised to believe in dating was a lie. Chads had sex in demand like a delivery, women made the first move , being feminine was a default setting for women , unlimited supply of emotional and physical effort , submissive and bubbly women everywhere . And with no social media or men-hating women to gaslight the previous generation of men that it's " misogyny " to be loved by women , the idea that how you treat women( aka being her slave) is what make them love you started fading but it was kind of two late , most men of that generation never realized that until they hit 30 yo with responsibilities or even married the traditional way ...

You would assume modern men would be different but they just did what modern system and society said they will do which is disappoint. No one is looking to this generation of average men with any positive men . They're getting disrespected constantly by women in and out of social media , they belittle eachothers all the time for the sake of women and are in competing with gay men for the most " feminist " social group without forgetting how far they are in comparison to women in term of education, finance and social perspective...
