Why doesn’t the mainstream talk about how unbelievably brutal dating is for men?

No “woe-is-me”, black pill, or incel content.

Creation_Soul · 2024-09-02T21:35:51+00:00

if you ask me it's because nobody can offer a realistic solution that can fix it. Sure talking about a problem it's the first step to fixing it, but for this problem realistic solutions are rather difficult.

Because most women flat out deny this and believe men are the issue not the massive oversupply of men on dating apps and females selective access.

SKY_ACTIV3 · 2024-09-02T22:28:01+00:00

I’m gonna go against the grain and say that it is going mainstream, just slowly and in a different form from what you’d see in a place like this.

I’ve had “normie” friends my age mention alphas and betas, 80/20, 6/6/6, passport bros, racial dating statistics, all kinds of terms and topics you’d typically assume were only present in dark corners of the internet.

It turns out when things affect a large number of people, especially young people with social media, they’ll speak up about it. I’d expect to see this conversation get increasingly embedded in the mainstream in the coming years as gen Z continues to round the corner into their adolescent years.

Because it doesn't sell at the moment.

Just like talking about the plight of women and minorities didn't sell 75 years ago in the mainstream.

Culture is always changing.

Some outlets are but to them it is a "Scooby-Doo mystery" and its always economically focused and revolving around how men are the ones who need to change and it is their fault... even though they are the ones who are not dating...

Wooshie_Pop · 2024-09-02T21:53:56+00:00

Idk but look at the overwhelmingly negative response men get from simply discussing dating issues. That’s if it’s even acknowledged at all as being true. The mainstream probably wants to appeal to women and as we’ve seen they absolutely hate when men’s issues are brought up. Especially when the issues involve them. If you aren’t helping them they don’t want to hear it.

Goonerlouie · 2024-09-02T22:04:53+00:00

Theres a possibility no one wants to trigger the next incel mass murderer

Big-Accountant4923 · 2024-09-02T21:39:39+00:00

I mean the main stream does talk about it they just don't talking the experiences you or I might have. Mainly because it makes women feel bad. If women aren't attracted to the men they meet in they're everyday life there is nothing anyone can do about that. Now I would say you could try to improve community outreach and try to get more young men and women interacting more. But no one has the knowledge or will to do so. Eveyone knows what the issues are but no one has the solutions.

TheHouseSomalian · 2024-09-02T21:59:07+00:00

Victimizing yourself is not going to get you laid. It’s not going to solve any problems for you because the solution to the problem is to shed the victim persona, which you guys seem completely unable to do. As long as you see yourselves as the victim and women as the oppressor, you will continue to create your own relationship problems. To me it’s clear as day. To women it’s clear as day. The only thick skulls it hasn’t gotten through is yours.

Redpill-mind · 2024-09-02T21:30:45+00:00

Why isn’t this difficult reality spoken about in the mainstream?

Because the mainstream is bluepill and nobody can give two shits about the difficulties of dating for men and is often regarded as being an incel

Cunnin_Linguists · 2024-09-02T22:40:36+00:00

Because feminism and society benefits from men just being dumb blind worker bees

Thunderjaw4955 · 2024-09-02T21:31:00+00:00

Because it’s really, objectively not a big deal.

Many_Dragonfly4154 · 2024-09-02T21:47:36+00:00

Because nobody gives a shit about men

jay_de-leon · 2024-09-02T21:43:20+00:00

Nobody gives af about men they never have and they never will. Once you take the red pill you just learn to accept it then you turn your back on society and prioritize your own well being above everything else.

Ironically once you decenter women, dating,and sex as a whole that’s when you start attracting it the most. To this day I can’t make sense of why it’s like that but I’m sure there’s some metaphysical reason

+1 the other comment that said it doesnt sell well at the moment

Also, men have been demonized and villainized consistently for about 2 decades now to the point where its actually okay to publicly humiliate and dehumanize a man for being a man lol. And not only that, men are still expected to be strong and provide and keep the economy going. If a buncha men have dating problems, society (ie women and men who arent losers) doesnt care. Its on you to fix your problems as a man.

Maybe in 5-10 years there will be a loosening on male gender roles but at the end of the day, top50% of men will compete ruthlessly for whatever women find attractive and arent generally gonna cry and bitch about unfairness as much as women do. So the ones that dont compete are just shunned

TotalTravesty · 2024-09-02T22:46:45+00:00

Because rejection in dating isn’t a new concept. It’s literally a tale as old as time. Maybe a mass inability to cope anymore is novel, but even then it’s really just the chronically online who treat it as a crisis. Most men deal with their dating struggles the way they always have: keeping at it until it hits.

Seriously, think about how this would look in practice. Are we going to spend valuable airtime doing investigative news reports on guys who strike out on Tinder? Start charity races for the shy-with-girls?

Not to mention the elephant in the room: turning men’s dating struggles into a societal crisis puts the responsibility on women to let men they’re not attracted to have sex with them to solve it. And you’re not mainstreaming that.
