This is a retarded take. I work so I can do hobbies I enjoy. Without money I'm miserable because most hobbies, even the most simple, require money.

My question is how do these bums afford to live without working?

It depends on your hobbies. Some guys just need Netflix and Xbox. That's not very expensive.

Netflix and gamepass with decent internet is less than $100 a month

Netflix and Xbox can get very boring and you're a certified loser if that's all you need to be happy. You aren't living life like you're supposed to. It's no wonder those guys can't get a decent woman, they're boring as **** recluse.

Hiking, Biking, swimming, fishing. Those are hobbies we should be doing.

Despite being a proponent of marriage and traditionalism, there's little reason for men to get married in this day and age. Women will spread their legs without a commitment and in many cases they would rather be a single mother than be "tied down" anyways. Huh, go figure.

And as other miscers said it's obnoxious to see they are only wanting to look at this on a surface level rather than get to the root of the issues as there might be some uncomfortable truths.

Hiking, biking, swimming are even cheaper i think.

But lol at telling people what they should like.

And women don't care. If women aren't paying attention to.yoy anyway, why should you care what they would think of your hobbies

I do feel sorry for dudes in their 20's.
a lot of women just look at men as ATM's or sperm donors to help kick off their multiple baby-daddy plans.

see, in NY for example having 2 kids with the same guy is an exercise in diminishing returns.
17% of his income for one child.
25% of income for two children.

it's far more profitable to have one child with multiple baby-daddy's.

I quit my job eight months ago because my crypto gains could sustain me. I was a press brake operator going into work at 5am. Going to sleep at 8pm, waking up at 4am. Loud af manufacturing plant, standing on your feet for 10 hours straight bending heavy ass steel parts, only to make 18/hour. Yeah, fuk that. Glad I quit and I'm going to do everything possible to never work again

I mean guys can like what they like, but there's certain things that will make you a loser. Purely Netflix and gaming makes you a loser. You aren't supposed to do hobbies for women, I never said do those things for women, I just meant that make you a better person all around

You're implying that men shouldn't try to work or do anything substantial and that's just pathetic. If you want to live in your mother's basement because you can't get a woman, that's fine, but this isn't a message we should be spreading. I'd have greater respect for you if you at least did something meaningful with your life.

Videogames are great in moderation, like most things

My phase of playing videogames for 16hrs a day ended in the mid 2000s

I don't really see by what standard you're calling someone a loser based on their hobbies. Hobbies are just whatever you personally enjoy doing, you can't be a loser by doing what you enjoy.


And yes I encourage men who are going to incels no matter what they do to focus on enjoying their life. Obviously. They should do whatever makes them happy.

Even living in your moms basement makes more sense than paying way too much in rent

Except you can be a loser. Playing videogames 10 hours a day qualifies you as a loser.

Video games are no different than tv or books or movies. You don't 'outgrow ' entire mediums of entertainment

For real lol. I love Fromsoft games and they're the only ones I play anymore. It's just what I find fun. I kinda wish I enjoyed more types of games but at the same time I'm glad I don't

Also, how the hell are video games any different than TV? I'd rather play video games for 3 hours a day than watch Netflix for 3 hours. If you don't spend any time watching TV or youtube then more power to you but if you do don't call out people for playing video games.

Imagine being so judgmental about a person'shobbies. Most people spend their time paying their bills, and whatever time thats leftover is spent on leisure. Are you curing diseases? Innovating tech? No? Then stfu. Your hobbies are as meaningless as anyone else's

A lot of dudes are also pathetic and not man enough to put women in their place.
Putting a complaining sloot all day in her place is tiring and needs energy as well.

Spending all your time on videogames and porn is pathetic, no matter how you try to spend it. Even worse when you live in your mother's basement. Because why bother working if you can't get a decent woman?

See I'm not talking about the 16 hours a day people, if you can do that then there's something wrong. I'm talking about the people going you're a loser if you play games then say another hobby with zero self awareness.

The thread title implies men are unemployed and spending all their free time gaming in their mother's basement because they can't find a woman.

1)They aren't working
2)They're using all their free time gaming.
3)Let women dictate what they do with their lives

By definition that makes you a loser.

Why would men look forward to marriage? Modern-day society is quite awful for males. You work your ass out so you can come home and your wife starts complaining even though you are the one who keeps things together. Most guys I know are not allowed to have the least amount of fun by their wives/ girlfriends and are brutally depressed due to it. Even if they try, their women does everything to ruin the mood so there is no point in doing anything for yourself. Some men have already figured that out and they would prefer to lay down play videogames rather than deal with family crap despite you doing your best to check all the boxes from the list your annoying woman gave you.

Society has made it really hard for dudes to desire anything other than escaping reality.
