Has the manosphere ruined dating? | The Global Dating Crisis: Episode 1

I am not sure I want to watch this but to think a relatively new, largely made up and amplied bogeyman is a bigger cause than what every woman under the age of 50 in the West has been told since birth is quite a leap.

In a few years when the regret sets in all of the “self empowerment” that has been pushed on women will be the fault of the patriarchy. These sort of pieces are the first signs.

If we live in a patriarchy, then why do we need a manosphere?

They are single, but not single-single.

Then you have women who complain that date with guy they choose was bad, beacuse she never liked him, yet men are the problem. She is also single, but is she single-single?

"checkbox is tiny" LOL - you cant make this up, then you ask her how many times she swipes "no" - 95+%

The short answer is: no. The long answer is that feminism and critical gender theory has ruined dating and the "manosphere" is a minor symptom. But, mostly the "manosphere" is and has been a scapegoat boogeyman for over a decade. They blame a handful of angry guys with blogs for reacting to being run over by the societal ramifications of their ideology.

Hey it’s the daily Guardian “men bad,women good” article.

Kiiyyy · 2026-05-20T22:40:19+00:00

For them, men are always the problem, that's why many will end up alone in the future.

Status-Anteater8372 · 2026-05-20T23:01:04+00:00

Feminism ruined dating, not the manosphere.

MoblinGobblin · 2026-05-20T23:39:03+00:00

I've said this before and I'll say it again, but "single" is a different thing for men and women. For men, it means there is absolutely no one he's seeing/dating. For women, single means she doesn't have a long term boyfriend. Make no mistake, she's still out there seeing multiple guys, it's just not a long term thing.

liquor_up · 2026-05-21T00:53:21+00:00

Men are going their own way. I’m going to keep saying it.

BradenAnderson · 2026-05-20T23:20:37+00:00

The manosphere would’ve probably never grown into such a threat if feminism hadn’t gone off the deep end. Instead of tackling a symptom of the problem, our society should be tackling the source of the problem. But good luck with that ever happening

Extension-Line-9380 · 2026-05-20T22:50:21+00:00

It’s overblown they always have to paint themselves as faultless

BitesTheDust55 · 2026-05-21T01:24:22+00:00

The manosphere is just the natural reaction to the world that feminism created. It's a symptom. Dating was ruined before it came along.

thriverebel · 2026-05-21T00:45:55+00:00

Liberal media garbage.

LateralThinker13 · 2026-05-20T23:03:14+00:00

Jesus that title. Dating is awful today, and it's all men's fault? Specifically red pill men, those who are actually awake to womens' natures and don't buy into blue pill delusion? Those men?

OMFG. No. Men largely haven't changed. But since the sexual revolution, and with faster and faster speed, women have moved further and further left, embracing all forms of empowerment and rejecting more and more responsibility - because they can. No-fault divorce, abortion on demand, legitimization of sex work and transactional relationships... it's women who have destroyed themselves for dating as a group.

But most women have little self awareness and zero desire for any personal accountability, so I expect the conclusion of any article like this to be "Yes, men bad."

Jack Nicholson's character described how he writes women best: "First I start with a man. Then I take away reason and accountability."

No_Goat_645 · 2026-05-21T09:26:15+00:00

No, toxic feminism did.

DoctorFitLord · 2026-05-21T22:49:17+00:00

We need to leave the word "Manosphere" in like 2016. It's such a meaningless word used to refer to a bunch of unrelated (and sometimes contradictory) things. It's not a coherent term, and it's mostly used to just slander MRAs by putting MRAs in the same category as things like conservative podcasters (who support the very gender roles that we oppose) or misogynist incels who just complain about women and don't advocate for anything.

Incel forums, MRAs, conservative podcasters, pickup artists, #grindset guys, and more get thrown under the "manosphere" umbrella and these things don't have anything to do with each other. Even random bullshit like crypto traders get called part of the "manosphere" for some reason.

ehsobeit · 2026-05-22T10:24:14+00:00

The Guardian is a notoriously leftist, pro-women, anti-male 'news outlet', so any chance to blame men, they will take

SlowAssignments · 2026-05-22T10:36:49+00:00

Watching the video, they basically admit women ruined dating by being extremely hypergamous and not knowing what they actually want. Leave it to the Guardian to reach the wrong conclusions every time when it comes to gender issues.

Tallos_Renkaro · 2026-05-21T09:54:28+00:00

The manosphere is to blame for cancer. For HIV. For Covid19

Gleichstellung4084 · 2026-05-21T13:46:30+00:00

The title is just so ridiculously triggering. All these things are so tiring...

What would anyone think of the documentary with a title: Does every person with a vagina have brain damage?

ODOTMETA · 2026-05-21T13:54:33+00:00

These hoes mad because men have opinions, feelings, and goals that don't align with "the bih borg" All the independent "she thing" "I can do it all by myself" "I fuck guys and discard them" 🤔 Say word? Interesting, how's it all working out? 🤫

bizurton · 2026-05-24T14:59:05+00:00

Personally, I'd say the body positivity and girl power movements, paired with the feminization of men, are what really ruined it.

One man wants a fat ugly misandrist and no woman wants a wimpy femboy.
