Wanting to be successful in dating =/= feeling entitlement to people's bodies.

I feel like there's entitlement implied if you consider women "silently deciding to not date you" to be a societal problem that can be fixed rather than just women being allowed to not date people they don't wanna date.

See: the entire ridiculous idea of "revoking a man card."

That whole situation is nothing but men working against men for the worsening of men.


I agree with you here. Even though men are more likely to shit talk each other, I certainly don't like it and make every effort to refrain from that behavior myself. When men are jockeying to be the top dog with idiotic posturing, it makes for an uncomfortable, weird situation for everyone else just trying to enjoy themselves.

I think either your anecdotes are rare or you are misreading the situation entirely

If you are a man, who is more likely to shit-talk you for being a "pussy?" A woman, or another man?


If he is coming home to a wife who is still romantically and sexually attracted to him he doesn't give a fuck if 10000 men made fun of him that day.

It is a societal problem for men, yes, and one they have to overcome if they want to be successful. Can you control people? No. But it IS a problem and it DOES suck. It sucks as much as ugly women being entirely ignored by men, because that happens too and everyone agrees it sucks too. There's a ton of movements dedicated to appreciating women no matter how they look but virtually no discussions about how men are objectified in a different and equal way - except the discussion put forth by extremists and that also sucks.

It's not a societal problem; I never claimed that, and if you feel I implied that, then woops. It's a problem only for the man affected by it, and even then, it's only a problem if that man gives a shit.

Women have a right to refuse advances from any man they wish without being judged for it.

I mean, I've seen tons of stuff from feminists about how the patriarchy hurts men, including for things like being emotional. I think Metal_DK is claiming it's (intentionally?) deceitful, but there's plenty of it out there.

BTW, Trump pointed out that Rasmussen had a pretty vicious swing on Trump today, but that was just general approval rating. His net approval index (Strongly Approve vs. Strongly Disapprove) dropped from -7 to -12, which suggests the afterglow of the missile strike has worn off and he's back to where he largely was mid-March to mid-April.
