  1. A woman complained on Twitter that she asked a guy out and got shot down: "I'll NEVER ask someone out again! Getting rejected is so humiliating!" Every single man in the replies: "Welcome to our world."

  2. One of my female colleagues asked out a male co-worker and he turned her down (nicely, by all accounts). She was, by turns, furious, humiliated, or mystified (sometimes all three at once). Her reasoning was that she got so much attention in online dating that she couldn't possibly conceive of a man not reciprocating her interest. He had been CHOSEN. Didn't he realize how special that made him? How honored he should be? Her estimate of her dating value was vastly inflated by the false reality of online simping. I can verify that this woman believes she's a 9 or 10 and is in truth a 7 in her early forties. The man she asked out is younger and better looking. Online dating is the ultimate reality distortion mirror. The amusing part was that she said she'd NEVER ask out a man again because she'd been rejected ONE TIME in her entire life. She expected sympathy from us, her male co-workers. Our response? "Welcome to our entire lives, where rejection is more common than acceptance." She didn't like that. And what did she learn from this? (A) To be nicer to men who asked her out in real life or showed interest online (B) To revert to her usual persona in "online dating" where she had an endless army of simps that she could reject offhand because she had so many "choices" Go on, guess what she learned. I'll bet you can guess.

  3. Women have always been hypergamous. My wife said she married me because I was ambitious. My wife left me when we hit a financial rough patch. My wife tried to get back with me when I turned things around and was doing better than ever. When I got my first success in my early thirties and the money that came with it, I suddenly had young women all over me. It was the money, of course. I'm not a young guy (59, even older than Joker). My mom married and stayed with my dad for the same reason: mom often said she wasn't happy with him "but at least we had the money" (my dad started out very poor but started a very successful business). My mom is very comfortable in her retirement because of all the money dad made in his business. This goes back to the dawn of time. It's not that women are evil or wrong: from an evolutionary perspective, it makes perfect sense for women to partner with a man who has the resources to protect them and their children. Problem is, women of my mom's generation were willing to run the race with the men, while modern women just wait at the finish line.

  4. "He is still married to his ex." "Ex" = "current wife". The level of delusion is stunning. I feel sorry for this poor woman. The "relationship" she's in doesn't exist.

  5. I retired early because I was at the point where every salary increase was just going to make my landlord richer. I worked for 43 years--73% of my life so far--and was told that older white guys like me are the problem. I paid my taxes, I showed up for work every day, worked my butt off, rarely took a sick day (not unless I was deathly ill), and at the end of all that, I was a "problem" by virtue of my age, race, and gender. As my dad used to say: "Find out where you're not wanted, and then don't go there."

  6. One of my most treasured possessions is a painting a girlfriend did for me for a Christmas gift. We're no longer together, but I'm looking at that framed painting right now, and every time I do, it brings back all the good memories we made together. A handmade gift is truly an expression of genuine caring. Anyone who doesn't understand that, doesn't understand love.

  7. WOMEN: People shouldn't be judged superficially. ALSO WOMEN: I won't date any guy who isn't six feet tall, has six pack abs, has a full head of hair, and earns at least six figures.

  8. Casual dating and hookup culture hurts both men and women--at least a certain kind of man, who wants a wife, kids, a home. That's often no longer available to us. It's not a choice we have. When I was younger, I wanted that. I don't want it now, but for years I did. I eventually gave up, but there are guys in their twenties and thirties who DO want to marry and settle down. And they can't, because of hookup culture and the huge number of hypergamous women in our society. I feel sorry for these young men, I really do.

  9. I was USAF intelligence in the 1980s. An officer in our section accidentally slipped satellite surveillance data of Soviet missile sites into his briefcase and took it home. Didn't show it to anybody, didn't try to sell it, didn't even know he had it. Court-martialed, dishonorable discharge, went to prison for five years. But that officer was a white man.

  10. We've gotten to the point where women demand they should be able to do whatever they want without consequences or judgment.

  11. Tom Brady got cheated on and his wife divorced him. If Tom Brady isn't good enough, the rest of us shouldn't bother trying.

  12. I wish plumbers would hang up on women customers who call them for emergencies. "Sorry, ma'am, but I don't want to inflict my toxic masculinity on you."

  13. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." is the quote. I've been very successful in in-person dating but was a miserable failure at online dating. Why did I find so many women willing to date me when I met them in person but did so poorly in online dating? Women get a false sense of their value in online dating by being besieged by an army of simps, most of whom just want to bed her, not wed her--and men do, too. Men: Do NOT use online dating apps. To quote Admiral Akbar in "Star Wars": IT'S A TRAP!

  14. The only difference women see in 55 year old me as opposed to 25 year old me is that 55 year old me can afford to take her for higher quality food and more expensive gifts and vacations (i.e., cash and prizes). No, thanks. I have this weird bias against being treated like a walking ATM or a daddy substitute.

  15. I was a HS teacher for over 30 years before retiring. I had many boys who expressed an interest in a skilled trade (plumbing, auto mechanics, etc) but their parents steered them into a four-year university for two reasons: 1. It's more prestigious to say "my son is going to college" and 2. women don't want to date or marry a guy who doesn't have a college degree. My dad was a mechanic and eventually owned his own business. He retired a millionaire. The top men working for him earned $200,000 a year. High schools used to have "shop class" and those have been phased out in almost all schools. I do have some former students who went into "the trades" and one of them owns his own independent auto repair shop. He owns a 3000 square foot house with a four-car garage in Southern California (and married a Filipina woman because no American woman was interested). Our society has stigmatized working with your hands and the people who do this work, even though it's clear this kind of work is essential to keeping our society going.

  16. My advice to my students was always the same when it comes to college: 1. Community college for the first two years. It's cheap and in some states, free. Rather than go deeply into debt, have a gap year after CC, live at home that year, and work/save. 2. Major in whatever you want, but get a minor in a practical field like accounting, etc. I did that and ended up working as an accountant for years when no one was hiring teachers. 3. College is part of your education, not all of it. Work in the summer, do internships, etc, to get practical experience and see what fits with you. Get skills, experience, connections. 4. Money isn't everything. I know highly-paid people who are miserable in their work. Find out what you're good at and find a way to make a living at it. Not having a huge student loan debt will help you make better choices. 5. College isn't for everybody. Many successful people have quit college or skipped it altogether to start their own businesses, acquire skills, etc. My nephew joined the Navy and acquired a lot of technical skills and training. Don't try to force a square peg into a round hole.

  17. The only solution, the only way to be safe, is to not have contact with women. Don't socialize with them, don't work with them, don't live with them. Fun fact about Bill Murray: He doesn't have an agent. Anybody who wants to pitch a movie to Bill calls his answering machine and leaves a message. If Bill likes the pitch, he calls them back.
    183
  18. Take it from a guy who was married for 15 years: women have an endless list of demands. They are never, ever, ever satisfied.

  19. Women earning more college degrees than men doesn't make them the "backbone" of the work force. Know what we have a shortage of right now? Electricians. Plumbers. Truck drivers. Carpenters. Guess which gender fills most of those jobs? Know what we don't have a shortage of right now? Majors in gender studies, art history, and psychology. "Backbone of the work force", huh? Ok, good luck with that.

  20. Said it before and I'll say it again: Conservatives are not the gateway to fascism Liberals are What regime preceded the Nazis in Germany? The liberal Weimar Republic Having worked with liberal white women as most of my co-workers on the Westside of LA for the past 30 years, I absolutely confirm that they are at the core of the problem with our society. It was liberal white women who insisted we have a "daily celebration" of Black History Month at work. Our black colleagues said it was an empty gesture and opposed it. The white women's response? "You have internalized racism."

  21. Porizkova's marriage didn't "fall apart"--she blew it apart by filing for divorce from Rick Ocasek.

  22. I know lots of guys who work but don't have official employment. Time is more important than money to them since they don't have the financial burdens our fathers and grandfathers had, so they do flexible jobs for cash. My neighbor pays the landlord in $20 bills on the first of every month--doesn't even have a bank account. Men are becoming stealth bombers.

  23. This is about looks. If Chris Hemsworth did this, the women would be saying "Oh Chris, you scamp!" and lean in. I've been on tv and movie sets. Actors and actresses don't have the same "body space" rules other people have.

  24. My dad was an inch shorter than my mom but he had a lot of confidence and charm. He was also a genuine tough guy. A much taller and bigger guy (I'd guess around 6'4") was giving my dad crap and grabbed him with both hands. Big mistake. My dad was a Korean War vet with a Purple Heart and took the bigger guy out with one punch. The guy got up and dad knocked him out cold with a second punch. My dad said "use the bigger guy's size against him--he'll be overconfident. Until you put him on the ground. Once you've got him there, he stays down."

  25. Let's pretend to catch them until the very last second and then take two steps to the left, Bugs Bunny style. Bugs is my hero.

  26.  @crazychase98  Wait at the finish line for the winners and then take half their stuff, like Elin Nordegren did to Tiger Woods. Yeah, he cheated, but $500 million? I don't recall ever seeing Elin win a pro golf tournament. What was she before Tiger married her? Part-time model and babysitter?

  27. One reason I retired early was because our school board wanted our school's first woman principal, so they appointed a massively incompetent assistant principal to head up our school. Same woman who once told male teachers we couldn't talk in a meeting because "it's time we learned to listen" (yeah, she got slapped down for that). Actually, she's CO-PRINCIPAL. She's so bad at her job that two months into her contract, the board appointed a competent male assistant principal to "co-manage" with her. He actually runs the school, and one of his job duties includes repairing damage she's done. I don't envy the guy.

  28. There's a "relationship expert" (woman, of course) called Courtney Ryan who is 5'5" and claims she's never seen a man shorter than her. Of course she hasn't. They're invisible to her.

  29. My first reaction to hearing Kevin Samuels interact with delusional women was that he was too harsh. Over time, I realized that the women Samuels was dealing with were so deep in denial that they needed him to be that way to snap them out of it--and even then, it often didn't work. (Cue Jack Nicholson yelling "You can't handle the truth!") People forget that Samuels was also very hard on broke men who expected the world to treat them like kings--but you don't hear about that because men took their talking to and didn't throw an adult tantrum. Samuels didn't suffer fools of either gender gladly, and that's what I respected about him. When you're used to being lied to, the truth will anger you the first time you hear it, especially because lies allow you to continue just as you are, while the truth demands that you change. Samuels was three years younger than me and apparently fit, yet he died of a heart attack. A reminder to us all to live your life now because tomorrow is never guaranteed.

  31. Y0U GO, GIRL! I've had female bosses and male bosses. Some of the male bosses were jackasses. All of the female bosses were insecure and incompetent.

  32.  @cosmeticscameo8277  Hadn't heard that saying before, but it's a good one.

  33. The one right that we all should have is the right to be left the hell alone. They won't leave us alone. You think retreating to your land in eastern Tennessee will bring you privacy and non-interference? Not once these people see you and others retreating like that. They'll come after you because they cannot stand anyone they don't control.

  34.  @rogerm3708  My mom is a very devout Catholic but my dad was a difficult man to live with. But the restraints of religion and social disapproval were stronger. My dad was lucky my mom put up with him, actually!

  35. If a man gets full custody, you know the mother is a train wreck.

  36. The most common function of "Ladies Night" is really to provide cover for cheating with men, but I suppose among the younger generations, bisexual cheating is also a problem. What we have to remember is that with Western women, all relationships are provisional and transactional, so any man who expects a long-term commitment has invested in a sinking ship.

  37.  @kellygreenii  I've always avoided Brazilian supermodels. It's surprisingly easy.

  38. I once had a female assistant who was very bad at her job. I started coaching her with the implicit understanding that if she didn't improve her performance, she was going to be fired. Rather than try to improve, she tried threatening me: "If I go to the principal and tell him you're sexually harassing me, you're finished." And she was right. If she'd made the allegation, absent any proof, my job and my career would've been over. I didn't back off because I do not negotiate with terrorists. When I didn't respond to her threat, she continued to suck at her job, and eventually resigned rather than be fired. I don't recommend my course of action to any man, because I took a terrible risk that just happened to pay off. But that's where we are: women can destroy men with lies (Amber Heard destroyed Johnny Depp's career that way) and even if we prove the women are lying, we still lose.

  39. Teri Hatcher has tons of men who'd date her, but she wants the billionaire with the yacht, who will instead date 23 year old supermodels.

  40. The only difference between Samantha and a lot of women is that Samantha demanded her husband's approval for her infidelity and wanted to do it in the open. Every married woman I know has a "backup guy"--she may not be sleeping with him right now, but she's ready to jump over to him if she gets bored with her husband or if the other guy (or guys) can offer a better deal. I'm not being cynical, you guys, just reporting what I've observed. I've had married women try to make ME into the "backup guy", so this is a real thing. If your woman hasn't cheated on you, it's only a matter of time. Odds are she's already having an emotional affair with a "we're just good friends" guy.

  41. Kari never struck me as the sharpest tool in the shed.

  42. I have lost count of how many married women tried to cheat on their husbands with me. I got more offers from married than single women.
    44
  43. I was about to say: I always chat with my Uber drivers and they say the women are the worst: backseat drivers, don't tip, most likely to file a complaint with the company, etc. Men are like: hey, you got me here and we didn't crash, here's a tip, thanks.
    43
  44. I remember marriage counseling with my now ex-wife. Here's how it went: ME: Let's talk about us. WIFE: Let's talk about me. The rampant narcissism and emotional immaturity of modern women is destroying our society.

  46. The argument that (fill in the name of the group) were oppressed/exploited by (fill in the name of the group) in the past, and therefore now have not only the right but the duty to do the same things they claim to hate, shows how morally vacant these people are. Feminists, the answer to centuries of men "oppressing" you isn't to ruin men's lives now. Aw, who am I kidding, they're going to do it no matter what we say.

  47.  @Maniacman2030  Are you suggesting a stunning and brave (and perfect) woman is lying? I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked. Well, not that shocked.

  48. One of his most memorable calls was when Samuels patiently pointed out one such woman's delusions to her, and she broke, yelling at him I'M A BAD ASS B***H! I'M A BAD ASS B***H! again and again at the top of her voice in a very masculine and aggressive manner, which he'd just pointed out was a large part of her problem. He just hung up on her. But he did try.

  49. I visited her TikTok. I had a little sympathy for her plight until I did that. Now I have none. Worst thing in the world you can do is lie to yourself.

  50. Women my age are stunned when I tell them I'm not interested. Why would I date them when I can have someone decades younger?
