The important step is recognizing how we’re all vulnerable to it (except you of course).
You should be able to rationalize any insecurity as an inverse reaction just as you can rationalize both political perspectives by weighing them against each other for positives and negatives

At least be cognizant of the dynamics on this forum. Just because dozens of guys post the same opinion in a honey pot of insecurity, doesn’t make it legitimate.

If you don’t realize it yet, consider it a wake up call. Every forum has selection bias.
This is why if I post seriously to anyones threads, its usually positive. There are so many consistencies in a lot of the views here, especially about women that are entirely false.

I registered in 2013 or so I believe, so I was early 20's. I didn't start posting regularly or reading regularly until the last 2 or so years. I can't imagine, someone in their late teens reading and posting here and being influenced by everything that is posted. Insecurity leads to vulnerability which leads to people accepting what they are told because they don't know any better.

Its a fun place to post and read, but you are absolutely correct.

honestly i could do something right now but i dont want to do it.

The worst part of this forum IMO is the closet cuck fetishist. I think it goes hand in hand with all the insecurity and low self esteem, but these people really get off on posting cuck chit from reddit. Like you really know, ok, this guy logs onto reddit and searches for reddit cuck stuff and then brings it here because he's an FA incel or a guy who watched too much prons.


It's absolutely fuarking pissening.

Lmao, this is facts. I actually use reddit for 2 specific sub reddits, a bjj, and a motorcycle trackday one, and I've never been suggested or shown a single thing about any of that soyboy cuck chit the whole time I've used it.

Dudes have to be directly searching for it

I see where you're coming from brah, but it rustles me not so much because I feel like it makes me think any of these things, or brings me down, but I feel like a lot of brahs, including myself when I was younger got so many good things from the misc and I valued this place as a place where fellow males could come and learn how to make it. With the media and a large part of society being focused on helping sloots, and bringing males down I feel like we need to be there for each other here and help bring each other up, and all of the incel brahs need to actually put work in to make it or go kick rocks and make room for the brahs that actually want to make it srs.

A lot of younger dudes who are already really insecure come here, who are going to be effected by all of the negativity because they haven't learned how to make it yet, and the environment we have now just converts them to another permanent incel that dwells here, instead of someone who is gonna try to lift, take care of himself better, and start talking to girls.

i pretty much equate it to "back in the day" most miscers were here to better themselves, the whole zyzz aesthetic stuff and most threads were about lifting or things you could do to make yourself look better
now misc is filled with depressed fks who instead of trying to make themselves better just post here and cry about it

This place is extremely toxic. In fact all social media is. It has already destroyed the western world. All changed after 2012.

Btw the misc used to be a bunch of 20 yo insecure dudes now everyone is in their late 20s 30s and 40s lmao

I don't agree with 'filled with', but honestly you can see the sort of person who is incredibly bitter about his/her existence in their posting: always complaining about others, especially if a poster implies s/he has a flourishing sex life, earns a good salary, has a good education. The cope comes rapidly these days: you're either lying, or never had to work for it, or whatever.

Those posters are addicted to the cycle of abuse/validation they receive here. Some of the absolute worst posters are constantly referred to as if they are worthy of admiration - and by 'worst posters' I mean chit posters who deliberately and almost singularly seek to spread their negative view of the world here.

It's fundamentally pathetic but what can you do - the Internet and anonymous posting has enabled a lot of this. The kind of poster I refer to here is likely shunned by rational human beings in the real world so...that just reinforces their posting here and in other communities where (somehow, perversely) that sort of behavior is welcomed.

Today's man is becoming more and more insecure. It's so scary to talk to the young man of today and just hear what is on their mind and how they view life. Estrogen levels are at an all time high, men are emotional like women, overtaken by mood swings, insecurity, loneliness, and low self worth with no drive to become better. We see mental illness, suicide, depression reaching highs, and that's no shock being how this next generation of man is choosing to live their lives.

I've always wondered why the misc attracted so many of the internet's "losers" though, I mean it's a bodybuilding forum, my initial though would be it to be a place where people together enough for self improvement to gather.... but over the years I think it's more a place for people looking to improve their physical body to overcome other issues, and lets be honest, many posters have come here and done nothing or very little to even better their body.

So true. Found this place in my early 20s I think and have developed a huge inferiority compels for being brown, being skinny, being shy / introverted, and being unsuccessful with women. These securities are then projected in real life and it becomes a vicious cycle. Have tried to stop checking this board so many times, but when your life only consists of studying and spending time alone I keep gravitating back, have even made an account after 10 yrs now :/

Everyone under 30 is insecure and depressed these days. People think it's just miscers but I can tell by the people I've known and by taking to most people a little younger than me they have problems and are depressed. The typical 23 yo is nothing like the ones I grew up with. They are shy, have no motivation, little masculinity and most of them just look like kids still. Also seems like a ton of people in their 20s smoke and are on things we can't talk about here. I believe a lot of people are coping not just miscers
