  1. Interesting how you turn it immediately into a gender point - I know families where the daughter was spoiled beyond belief and the son was shunned - this is a nuanced issue and very rarely are children all treated the exact same way by their parents! It isn’t fair I know but it is what it is

  2. That’s interesting because many men now don’t see women as being feminine and desirable now either. Both genders are struggling to see the benefit in pursuing the other.

  3.  @user-kp3rc4eq8x oh Jesus get off the tired culture war bs .. go outside and touch grass . You aren’t a victim - women aren’t victims

  4. That’s half the problem - men and women are different in several key ways so the same script for both doesn’t work!

  5. Jordan Peterson automatically triggers a lot of people and I don’t understand it. I find him fascinating just as much as I find Chomsky interesting.

  6.  @katiecarroll415 agree. There is a sizable % of young people that won’t even listen to Jordan Peterson at all.. when I was growing up I wanted to listen to all sides of the political spectrum .. I even enjoyed listening to folks like David icke - I don’t have to believe everything they say lol

  7.  @wavewatcher_ yeah I read these comment sections and the nagging problem I see is many expect men and women to function the same way - do the same roles equally. If we are not going to admit that men are a bit more geared towards certain roles and women in others then we are going to run into a wall until the end of time Not everything is a social construct!

  8.  @InvictusAlchemy I am not even getting into the “what is feminine or masculine?” Debate. Most sane adults know in a broad sense what feminine and masculine mean .. men desire the feminine and women desire the masculine in vast majority of cases. If we can accept that as truth then maybe we can move onto having a productive conversation .

  9. Yeah I look around on social media and see people venting endlessly. Same topics and talking points over and over. That is just digging them a deeper hole to climb out of

  10.  @SecretSquirrel-88 I have a few female friends and I’m still amazed at how much they judge other women. They put a hyper focus on tiny little things and if something is off then that woman will be judged harshly .. At times I honestly don’t know how women truly get along with each other long term as there’s so much competition and judgement going on

  11.  @markbennett5812  being short doesn’t hurt you nearly as much as you think. One of my friends is fantastic with women and he’s 5’6 and bald .

  12. Knowledge of male and female nature needs to be taught to all high school students! The fact that it isn’t taught is bizarre to Me

  13. I agree and what if a person is 20 plus pounds overweight? That to me is a dealbreaker especially if they are in their 20s or 30s.. there is no excuse to let yourself put on that much weight .. it’s the same as personal hygiene and dressing nicely. In fact it’s more important than those 2

  14. The fact that academia won’t even dare look at the data and facts around this situation tells me everything I need to know .. I have lost so much faith and trust in academia

  15.  @Annsunshine30 why did your mom waste that many years though? It’s quite obvious she got enough from Her husband to warrant sticking by him .. For whatever it’s worth, many people just like to complain about their marriage. I almost guarantee had they never got married that they’d regret not putting more effort into meeting someone and settling down .. I’ve noticed that humans are very rarely if ever just content with what they have

  16.  @wootwootyouknow  ahh yes if you are a guy that doesn’t like small talk and doesn’t like talking endlessly about unsolvable problems then most women are going to struggle in a relationship with you. If you prefer solitude and being in your own head then even more so .
    10
  17. So am I but not with family but with friends - I isolated and I’m trying to get that outgoing spark back but it’s not coming back .. I find it quite difficult to feel engaged and interested in others .. I have to fake it which is not fun
    10
  18. Exactly you wanted him to lead or act in a more traditionally masculine manner! Yes I understand completely why that would break your marriage! Very few women want to be with a man that is passive or indecisive - this is what so many of us guys are trying to get more women to understand - gender roles are needed at times

  19. I notice in America that we are headed more towards a narcissistic way of life.. everything is about me me me .. self gratification

  20. “Present day struggle” We are creating much of this though. Go look at what our ancestors went through - tuberculosis outbreak, civil war, slavery .. that didn’t stop them from having kids.. only in 2024 when the quality of life is the best it’s ever been in history do we think we are struggling the most. Many of us need to get offline more . Seriously

  21.  @user-ct1vo2sd3v that’s silly. Most women don’t mind being approached in public as long as it’s the right time and place and the guy has decent social skills .. some of you really blow the notion that women(in public) will claim sexual harassment if men approach them. Has it happened? Sure but it’s very rare. You saying this discourages young men from trying to talk to women. This leads them to rely on dating apps which are awful
    9
  22.  @jessykaiser6373  “always keep your standards high” Sure as long as the woman is giving the man as much value as she requires from him. It’s gotta go both ways

  23. I am s as maxed at how broken or biased people are these days. They will completely throw out all of the knowledge if someone is from a different political group than them. It’s really hurt modern discussion

  24.  @vapeking466 fellow introvert here and many folks just do not like people that aren’t pro-social and outgoing. With every relationship I’ve been in I’ve had to really stretch my social boundaries to appease them and even then it rarely worked
    9
  25.  @swanvegalove . “Stop being stern and macho!” If you want men to stop acting in traditionally masculine ways then stop rewarding them when they do it! You do realize why many men act more masculine correct? It’s because it attracts women! Most guys started out being a soft nice guy type but many girls were not attracted to that - the guy looks around at what the more successful guys were doing and mimics that behavior. There is a very good reason why “players” act in the manner they do.. Women need to stop rewarding bad behavior in men and men need to stop rewarding bad behavior in women.. period

  26.  @jennyj0007  I agree with you but like she said, if she refuses to have sex early she will miss out on many men and in all likelihood if she finds a guy that will wait - he will not match up to her standards in other ways.

  27. That’s terrible to hear and I feel for your aunt. I have to wonder how healthy or loving their relationship was prior to the cancer diagnosis?

  28.  @AlexExale  there’s no problem with conservative political belief - it is needed just as much as liberal political belief.. the right is needed just as much as the left - why can’t we understand that ?
    8
  29.  @bluebellbeatnik4945  definitely. Women need their standards to be met but so do men! Do you know what most men desire from a mate? Btw it’s not just sex. They want women to be feminine, fit and friendly
    8
  30.  @beatpirate8 . “Just keep dating for perfect” Adults out there that are looking for even close to perfection are living in fantasyland .. our parents and grandparents were wise enough to not see dating and relationships through that mindset
    7
  31.  @teachweb69 good point! I would like to see more studies done on married men and women - let’s see if they are happy and what the problems there are etc etc
    6
  32.  @markbennett5812  honestly you would do and feel better if you got offline more. Stop going to black pill channels and stop feeling sorry for yourself. If you walk around feeling sorry for yourself then no woman will want to date you. They will sense it from miles away. Start exercising and going for walks and just start saying hi to women . Start there and work your way up
    6
  33. Why would men you are dating feel jealous of you? I mean, that’s bizarre to me as he isn’t competing with his girlfriend .. Hypergamy is real and I just don’t think a relationship will work long term if the woman makes more $$$ than the guy .
    6
  34.  @EriPages exactly. A woman bringing up that she makes more than him is equivalent to a guy bringing up that his wife is putting on weight..
    6
  35.  @TeacherMom80  that is true. Most folks are too focused on themselves - the few that aren’t - if they are that focused on you or what you are wearing then most likely they aren’t healthy(mentally) themselves and need to be avoided.. It’s interesting that social anxiety is on the rise the past few decades - I read an almost 30% increase in the past decade or so.. I wonder how much tech factors into this?
    6
  36. Yea and our society seems to be promoting single parent households . It’s so strange
    6
  37.  @ThatsMrPencilneck2U I’m still puzzled as to what has caused that decrease in male ambition? I see it in a few younger men and it’s puzzling to me Btw hypergamy does play a role in this current dating problem .

  38. “Criminally ridiculous species” You have to admit that our species has done some pretty amazing things over the course of the last few hundred years though eh? Critique is nice but some go above and beyond when it comes to criticizing the human race .
    6
  39.  @koffifayehudia agree completely! I hear younger men that think girls won’t even look at them if they aren’t 6ft tall, nice car and make 6 figures.. I’m like “how did we get here?!” … young peoples minds are getting warped online - they need to put their phone down and just go outside, smile and talk to people
    6
  40.  @Gabriellaella23 it’s because it’s often mentioned on topics that have little or nothing to do with race. Just look around at comments on social media you have many “as a black man” or “as a straight white man” on topics that have nothing to do with race or gender. Race does play a part in certain issues but it is not important in most. In fact, often the hyper focus on race causes more harm than good

  41. Peterson is a fascinating thinker but for the life of me I’ll never understand the religious aspect
    5
  42.  @MsQ275 . “Do not settle!!” Hmm I’m not sure I agree here. Ultimately I think most men and women eventually settle in ways. What are the odds of you finding someone that literally checks all of the boxes? I don’t know if that’s even at all realistic to look for
    5
  43. But why do you feel you have nothing to offer? Are you a good listener? Are you currently employed? Do you have a good sense of humor?
    5
  44. Yes it is. Chris is an interesting guy

  45.  @Chambermenz wait you think males are more coddled than women? Women, especially attractive women in the west are the most coddled group in history .
    4
  46.  @ericaroberts772  who is viewing feminine as negative? Most men prize femininity and greatly desire that in a female partner! The folks that denigrate femininity are usually the feminist types - they view feminine as weak hence why there is such a strong promotion towards getting women to act more in a traditionally masculine manner(boss babe type persona)..

  47.  @ironknightgaming5706 I’ve noticed that quite often - people can rarely just sit back and realize what they have is a pretty good .. instead they just want more and more
    4
  48.  @RTDF516  agree. More and more young men(and women) are just not even pursuing the opposite sex. When I was growing up we had the notion that we were going to find a mate and live a fulfilling life . I think many of these loners are going to hit 35-40 and regret not pursuing more
    4
  49. Yep. I notice the folks that are too inside their own head are often the most anxious or lost .. I have a couple friends that are truly trapped inside their own mind and it’s tragic as their quality of life suffers as a result
    4
  50.  @doetodeer haha exactly these people that act like 2024 is a hellish landscape make me laugh. They have no concept of history or of how EASY our day to day life is now. I’m not saying we don’t have problems but just that people hyper focus on them To a hysterical level
