Of course but it makes sense. If you can't get a drop of puzzy what exactly is your motivation supposed to be? Most guys can be happy with minimal lifestyle

As bad as the average woman is, most guys struggle even to get that much because of hypergamy.

Your last point is spot on. If you tell a generation of guys they won't ever get any puzzy or meaningful relationship, why the hell should he be a wage slave? He doesn't need that much to please himself

I feel bad for you because you clearly got a rough draw being a black turbomanlet but for any average guy it doesn't take much effort to be in the top 20%. It just takes even less effort to rot though lol.

Lmao @ all the *******s in this thread talking chit about video games when you all misc 24/7 on a gay indian forum.

That being said I ****ing mire people that dont play the rat race game. I was making 50k a year cleaning brains off the side of the road before I switched careers. Now I work 2 days in office 3 from home at a fortune 250. Still dont feel like I made it.

Everything in this world is so fake and ghey its unreal. Why earn money when it just gets inflated into uselessness. Why persue women when 90% of them have been globohomo brainwashed. Why buy a home when you will always owe property taxes, or a bank account when it can be frozen for wrongthink.

The more I think about it the more kazynski was right. That dude was a 200 IQ math professor at berkly or some chit and threw it all away to live in nature. **** this gay earth clown world ****in srs.

maybe its because we fill our schools with asians and hire them over americans? its almost like not investing in our own people and instead farming them for interest rates has had a negative effect

We've all experienced them too. Won't cook or clean, wants you to pay for everything, almost always has kids, wants you to pay for them, etc etc. It's a suckers game.

What so many of the young men of the last 2 generations don't understand, is that when you focus ONLY on hedonistic pleasure, "YOLO" type thinking, you will ALWAYS be unfulfilled.

What you need to realize is, meaning in life comes from FIRST establishing yourself as a man, building yourself up, building your career (career, not JOB), and not just being 100% self-sustaining, but having EXCESS resources that you can eventually share with a woman/family. You MUST be in this position before you can be a leader....and for a woman to follow your authority. The vast majority of you don't even meet this most basic pre-requite and wonder why nobody takes you seriously. Hell just today I my lunch break I walked into a Philz coffee and a group of 4 girls (maybe 19-20 years old) hit on me, and then after they left another girl 18-19 years old hit on me....BOTH groups approached me, and I'm 39. Girls are thirsty AF for MEN who have their chit together, and who have a presence when they walk into a room. This isn't a brag, I already have a GF, and I have a side girl in Chicago....the point is to illustrate how thirsty girls 18-25years old are for actual, competent, men.

Once you've established yourself the purpose then becomes SERVING SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOURSELF. Living this fake flashy lifestyle you guys see all over Social Media is FAKE, the people who flex the most are completely fake....or they are SELLING you something.

Get yourself out of the house, get plugged into the community, do some charity work, volunteer on the weekends to referee kids sports, work the snack bar.....serve a cause greater than yourself. Then keep building up from there, network with other volunteers, go to city council meetings, rotary club meetings, you will meet local business leaders.....this is literally how you become a successful pillar of the community - you don't need to buy "self help books" or "how to be a millionaire" overnight get rich quick scheme nonsense. You build yourself up over years, you establish a good track record, good reputation, and you'll meet great people (including women) along the way.

So many great men have built this society, and shaped the future, some people call it "making a dent in the universe". This is what you need to do, have a purpose. What so many of you fail to understand.....is if you do this....you don't have to CHASE girls anymore....you should NEVER be chasing girls, you will simply come across them, girls are VERY AGGRESSIVE when they find a man attractive, they purposefully put themselves in close proximity to you, to be near you, so you notice them. The more you demonstrate you are a competent man, with skills, with drive, with structure, the more they want to be in your proximity. As always, this doesn't mean you can be some out-of-shape dork - you have to get your ass in the gym, be fit & healthy, dress well, etc. It's a marathon, not a sprint - you will develop all the "attractive" qualities if you do what I've outlined above. There are no shortcuts to life.

So, decide to do something with your life....or keep complaining and play video games pretending like you are "striking a blow against the system" by being a loser. Yeah....you sure showed them.

That article is a spit in the face for men actively pursuing women and getting constantly rejected

Women have more options and opportunities in the dating market than every generation prior, yet are also the sluttiest generation that has ever existed. They have all the oppurtunities to find men, but end up dying alone

The real culprit is social media and its insane addiction levels among women, dating apps, Only Fans, and skimpy whore clothing. These things have crippled most men it's made men desperate while making whores out of women

There's a reason why women were told to cover up before modern day chit show that exists today

Left the work force a year ago when I discovered there are other ways to make money in this day and age rather than being a wage slave for absolute trash bosses and companies. I have a cheap apartment, no kids, in good health so don’t need health insurance etc. Obviously if I wanted kids and a family which I absolutely don’t I wouldn’t be able to do this. And no I’m not an incel, two single mom smashes this week so far as tinder seems to be heating up with spring arriving. Probably 10 hours of video games a week although I just deleted Warzone in a rage and will probably dive into Red Dead Redemption again.

Makes total sense.....

men work for a purpose.... support a family, kids, wife. Buy a house to run and be the HoH of.

Lack of family and mate prospects=no incentive to progress a career=opt out for some low hanging dopamine hit like drugs/alc/video games/sports betting/crypto etc

Something fills the void of a purpose. mens purpose has been taken for a huge chunk of them....

Absolutely

It's something society wants to ignore, quite funny actually.

Worst thing that can happen, elephant in the room moment. Young men dropping out, making modern society unsustainable yet everyone pretends nothing is going on

Not to mention idle men with nothing to lose, tons of pent up frustration and energy, lead to crime, degeneracy, etc.

Why youre see so many riots, killings, beatings, violence, mass shootings. Only gonna get worse. So many men just clinging to sanity and law and order and just a step away from drifting into gangs, mass killings, etc. Honestly afraid for this society as things only get worse and worse. Actually only hope is that the feminization of men from the left actually dociles them enough that they just rot instead of kill/rob/steal

Even for the most beta man, there will come a time when rotting/escapism won't be enough anymore. Sh*t will get real, a ticking time bomb.

Great point. Not even just that they'll be lazy and rot but also dangerous. And everyone will act surprised when they were warned beforehand. Fell on deaf ears

It’s pretty obvious what the problem is and any social scientist or evolutionary psychologist worth their salt could explain wtf is wrong.

Women are unhappy working, they’ve been sold a lie. Your million years of evolution built your whole body and neurochemistry to be caring and nurturing and a mother for the most part, yet you’re somehow suppose to be a provider now?

Men were meant to be providers and protectors, it’s ingrained in us. Literally the reason for testosterone, to rise to the top of the hierarchy so you can get more mating opportunities. The story of slaying the dragon is the hero’s journey, the masculine journey which has been around forever.

Destroy the foundation and suddenly people are surprise why people are behaving weird.

This is an excellent take actually. Should be published instead of the drivel in the OP article

We do have incentives. Buying your own house, buying a car, being able to afford things you want and need. If we couldn't work we'd be living in our parent's basement under their rules.

Work = Freedom.

I have never once seen a news story about the skyrocketing popularity of Kevin Samuel's and other red pill youtubers.

They don't want to even acknowledge it let alone connect the dots to the consequences

Work = Freedom.
But most men are happy with a small apartment and an old car that gets them by. Especially now with inflated prices, the juice is not worth the squeeze. Stress yourself out to live alone in a house? Why?

The only reason most men seek more is to get women and sex.

Dave Chappell had an old routine about this. If men could get sex in a cardboard box, most wouldn't buy houses. The main motivation for most men at the end of the day is sex women and their kids
