if you're at least 35+ years old and still single, you're pretty much a below average male....

Comparing to another immortal man, obviously the other guy won, because he passed on his genes, while Newton didn't. But compared to most of us, Newton is immortal, he's someone that will always be remembered in history. So he pretty much beat us all until we become immortal ourselves.

Society is crumbling so getting invested or stressing over the dynamic is pointless.

You should be trying to enjoy life any way you can before leaving the earth and stop taking things seriously.

As you get older you should give less fks but not on the misc, a lot of you guys stay the same, caring about silly things no matter how old you get.

All you lamenting about dating / women because you never been outside the Western world.

Travel outside a bit, and u ll realize how REALLY bad the west is for single men.

I ve lived in Ukraine for 7 months, Hungary for 4 months, and heading down to Colombia in 2 weeks, the women, the culture, and everything is complete 180 from the West. Keep in mind that the Western world is very gynocentric now days with feminism and women worshipping, but the rest of the world is still very patriarchal, esp in South America and Eastern Europe. Chicks in Ukraine hate feminists, and South American girls don't even know what feminism is...

The following is an analogy of how men often handle rejection from the opposite sex vs. how women tend to handle it:

Men want respect, loyalty, honesty, and regular sex with constantly new twists. Women want provision, protection, and commitment, with sex being the reward that is given to a man for providing all of the above. Sex is the original currency, long before money ever existed. So a lonely woman is like a business owner who sits at the counter with the doors wide open, and wonders why nobody will enter. A lonely man is like a customer who sees the top shelf product but can never afford it. The female will put whatever signs necessary into her front windows to draw customers in, even if they distort the true product inside. What matters is making that deal, earning that profit, and locking that contract. The man will dress appealingly, save whatever money he has, and use his best negotiation skills to convince her to sell him the product at a discount price and allow him to break out of the deal and go elsewhere if he's not satisfied (standard business practice from both sides). So she views the customers who never come in as stupid, rigid, and afraid because they should be "smart enough" to deal with her but they aren't. He views the business as a lying, cheating, and greedy entity that is only interested in what he can give them. If he can find a way to live without buying her product, he'll either go elsewhere or never do business again.

quote from unknown.

I have these arguments with my co-workers all the time. They like to preach about confidence and these guys all just so happen to be good looking themselves. And then they always respond saying that they see ugly guys with girls all the time. But I never see that. I always see good looking guys with good looking girls, average guys with average girls, ugly guys with ugly girls, etc.

2. The highest birth rates are in the poorest countries on the planet (e.g., Niger).

The point is that value systems no longer function around 'starting a family' or 'getting married', and this trend continues to become more and more prevalent. Andthisis why 'average men' are checking out - because plenty of women don't care to get married any more - they have jobs now and don't 'need' a partner. So marrying someone out of 'want' requires a lot more now than it ever did before.

If you honestly think that very attractive women suffer in the long run for 'slooting around' when they are young, you are misguided, as is most of the Misc. Even 50 year old + women who have taken care of themselves are hit on constantly, whether or not they are married, so again - please understand - any woman, even disgusting fatbody women, have men chasing them. There are thirsty men in every nook and cranny of this world. So if women are 'suffering in the long run' because they don't get married or have kids, guess what - they aren't marrying a corresponding man either, which means the men suffertoo, except the hbbs that don't get married will constantly have beta men chasing them for the rest of their lives.

Again, female suffering not once.
"Another friend, the artist Immi Storrs, confided to me that more than age itself, it was the lack of men straining their trapezius muscles to get a better view of her that hit her the hardest. “My 40th and 50th birthdays weren’t such a big deal to me,” she said. “What was really upsetting and clear evidence of entering a new stage of my life was when men stopped looking at me altogether.”"

For the most part, but there are a lot of instances where 5.5/10 men are with 7/10 girls

If you're actually having trouble finding a girl like that, it means that there's either something wrong with you or you're living among trailer trash where every girl is fat, tatted up, and has three kids by 20.

Quite true to an extent. A lot of smart people aren't having kids not because they can't, but because they think too much about the consequences of having children. At that point, intelligence becomes an evolutionary disadvantage.

All women act the same unless they have an awesome hobby like video games or something. Most do nothing but sit around and text and post on social media while eating pizza and ice cream and the latest vampire diaries. If you can somehow manage to have a conversation with that then more power to you.
Awesome hobby. Video games. Fukin lol.

I've come to the conclusion that you're hopeless.

Wish I had that luxury. That’s desireability. Even if you bored if the sex and the women get annoying, your self-esteem is through the roof, because you are wanted.

You generally come across as bitter and self-loathing with a defeatist, woe is me attitude. Women smell this from a mile off so you can't really put it down to your looks. No hate brah, but somebody has to tell you this.
Look, I’ve been successfuly picking up until these last few years, with some here and there streaks between ages of 33-35. Around the age of 32, when I started getting uglier, things changed for me looks wise. It was a Paridigm shift in how my success was DESPITE being the same person, sane confidence, attitude and outlook on life. Then it continually got worse, to not only was I getting rejected, but getting insulted constantly by men and women about my looks(hair,height). This never happened before. It has slowly eroded my confidence sure, but it was because of the loss of looks, not a change in confidence. So now, yes the confidence levels are lower, but it was something that happened over time through rejections when my looks changed.

I don’t think you will understand until you go through it yourself, if you do. You can say confidence this and that, but it’s BS. I guarantee if I went out as the most confident person out there, best dressed, looks maxed, it would make little difference. You can’t understand the importance of looks, until you lose them.

I can get women. Could I get attractive ones? No. Balding is a death sentence for the majority of men. It doesn’t mean we can’t get any women, but you drop around 3 points in the looks scale and you are in the realm of only overweight or ugly women, despite keeping in good shape yourself. Would rather be alone than settle for a lazy overweight woman. In b4 Jason Statham, I know this one short fat, bald broke guy who gets hbbs on the regular, typical nonsense.

Also, cmon you don’t see short bald men with attractive women on a daily basis.

LOL @ this entire thread...




Everywhere I go men are talking up women and vis versa. People are dating, getting married and having kids. Your all just coping and avoiding the world by creating this nonsense.

















SRS MISC is at pissening levels of cringe and cope lately. lol

Thought about it. It is a big risk though and it’s not permanent, the hair you dont implant/not currently balding will eventually fall out and you have to continually keep getting transplants or have some bizzare hair pattern, where you have hair in the front but patches gone in the back or middle. In the end what’s it worth? 5-10 more years of getting laid, maybe just maybe getting married? It doesn’t seem worth the risk.

Like I said earlier, I’m not checking out, Im retired in the dating scene.

I'm one of those men. I've checked out of all of the online Apps, it's gone to dust. IRL or nothing for me, to be honest. Women have become so entitled and shallow, its unbelievable. This will definitely not last too much longer because it's so unbalanced.

You don't look Indian to me. I am actually an Indian, and honestly i can tell you, people need to realise one thing about 'Indians' amidst all the negativity. You see, India is a massive continent, and has undergone poverty. Some of the culture there is backward. We have modern people and we have traditional people. We have tall people and we have average people and we have short people. We have people with a myriad of skin-tones and facial features that reflects the geographical diversity and geopolitical history. It's about time the negativity about Indians stopped. Now even Indian women have become self-hating, writing 'i will not date Indian guys' on their dating profiles. Indian men have adapted and are now starting to claim they are Brazilian or another race if they can pull it off. This has gone way too far, and we need to understand what starts of as a joke can evolve into something rather serious.

lifting, metrosexual fashion, nights out with the boys only, etc. happened in nyc a long time ago. the small towns are still a long way from this point. possibly never gonna get here.
