  1. It’s mostly online though. I don’t see any of this weird gender or race war stuff when I go out . Way too many folks are terminally online and it’s warping their mind

  2.  @ampersignia  FOMO happens when people spend too much time online though. The real living is done outside with friends or at festivals, clubs or sports etc etc
    40
  3. Good luck trying to get them to do that lol
    37
  4. I hear you and agree. I see more people coming out and saying they are 28 and have no social skills, never been to a party or dated etc etc.. they have spent their life online watching others live and they’ve missed key life milestones .
    36
  5. Yep instead of going out to friends houses or parties they just gather in chats on twitch and YouTube. It’s not nearly the same though
    31
  6. I know a few very bright people in their late 40s that are more confused now than they’ve ever been. Yet many 23 year olds have it all figured out 😭
    17
  7. Young folks want to engage too much online - they are better off going outside
    12
  8.  @hideinmind it really depends on that guys mindset - IF he can own it and try to come off as aloof or mysterious to women then most women won’t mind. If the guy feels bad or inferior due to his lack of sex then he is doomed as women will smell this from Miles away ..
    11
  9. Good luck trying to break the online addiction that most people have.
    10
  10. That’s great as long as you avoid parties but do those other things. The problem comes when folks avoid parties and all other activities and end up sitting online 24/7
    10
  11.  @reezis1619 I have Lived long enough to recognize that having this conversation with women is borderline pointless. Very few will truly be honest and open about this subject. I’m with you though, I recognize most women will look at men much differently if they aren’t that sexually actively with women .. just as men will see women different if they have tons of sexual partners
    10
  12. I’m a huge introvert but even I realize that parties are a lot of fun and great place to meet people. I see folks online just completely abstaining from going to parties altogether and that’s not good. I’m so glad o had friends in school that persuaded me to go parties
    10
  13. Good point. I don’t want a friendship where someone is texting me daily or wanting to hang out twice a week .
    9
  14. But in order to be somewhat successful at the Game, one must be a ‘player’ to some extent.. there’s the rub
    8
  15. Yes, I know a guy that is 33 and has only had 1 gf and that didn’t even last over a month. He is quite lost and it’s hard for me to even steer him in the right direction as he is so far behind socially. Every day that goes by puts him further behind. It’s tough
    8
  16. It’s sad though. I live in a nice safe town and walk my dogs every night. Even on nice summer nights, it is dead quiet - there are no kids out walking around or riding bikes or even hanging out in their yards. It is so strange to me . I mean, they must all be inside the house staring at their phone …ugh
    8
  17. But then you are doing something wrong. I’m 5’10 and work out daily and women of all types strike up conversations with me. Maybe you guys live in areas where the girls are very stuck up? lol
    8
  18. People just don’t want to put in the work in the gym(or eat the right diet) it takes to build a good physique thpugh. Very few men have what it takes to grind, day in, day out to build a nice physique .. I’m shocked at how lazy younger men are especially
    8
  19. Yep, most people simply cannot sit home alone in a room and be fine. They need to be around people all the time
    8
  20. I hear you. I can’t remember the last time I met a woman(that I thought was cute) that was able to have a nice back and forth conversation with .. it’s troubling in a way lol
    7
  21.  @Haku1990 I get that but parties are great even if you are introverted and like playing video games. I’m very thankful that my friends dragged me out to a few as they turned out to be a lot of fun especially after a few beers.. I made memories and made friends too - parties are a great place to network
    7
  22. Hell yes. I’m a huge introvert but I’m so glad I had friends that dragged me to parties in high school as I ended up having a blast and met new people.
    7
  23.  @Sarmatae1 would you agree that being attractive and wanted by the opposite gender is a significant part of self esteem for most healthy people? It’s not everything but it’s a pretty important piece of the overall puzzle. Think of the things we all do on a daily basis to be more attractive to the opposite sex. Or the same sex if you go that way
    7
  24. Agree. Like I look at the way younger people obsess about dating and relationships and they spend so much time hyper analyzing studies and comparing notes lol.. they need to just put phone down and go out and talk to girls
    7
  25. I urge everyone to just get offline more often. Put your phone down and leave it home and go outside .. walk your dog and talk to people.
    7
  26. I keep hearing this everywhere but I have a hard time believing it. At least where I Live, most women still flirt and want to talk to and date men. I’m in my 30s though so perhaps it’s the younger generations that have this issue? I honestly Think it’s due to young people relying far too much on dating apps. Get offline more and go outside(without your phone!) and just talk to girls
    6
  27. “So get off social media” We should all do more of this. We’ve all watched probably 100 videos similar to this so why do we do it? I honestly don’t know at this point Oh and folks need to go outside and move around more. Folks don’t do enough of that
    6
  28.  @RoofTopFocus  true and that’s what I realize in that so many people don’t have real hobbies but more so just like to “hang out” with people and chat or drink n smoke
    6
  29. Yeah a big problem is people just do not go out as much.. worse is if you don’t like bars then you are really screwed. I notice young people don’t go outside and ‘hang out’ like we used to when I was younger. It’s odd as I s as knots don’t even know what younger people do in their free time. Watch Netflix and play games on their phone?
    5
  30. I’m not a young guy but I’m so confused about this supposed loneliness epidemic. I see a ton of people online endlessly complaining about being lonely yet they live in a time where it’s never been easier to form connections with others! I mean, online meetup group are amazing and it’s something I sure didn’t have growing up..
    5
  31. Yes because people actively went outside and socialized much more! They didn’t sit inside and watch endless doomer content and then complain about it endlessly
    5
  32. I’m more shocked that this even needs to be said to adults. We knew this in high school - take the useful and discard the rest .. no one is right about everything
    5
  33. Good luck trying to get people to delete all social media
    5
  34. Oh definitely if you are remotely introverted and past the age of 30 and dislike bars and drinking then making and keeping new friends is going to be very difficult!
    4
  35. Well yes men don’t feel valued anymore but why is that? I have to blame feminism for much of it. People want to eliminate gender roles and this would be very confusing for many men. I was brought up and told to get an education and good job and have a wife and kids and be the man in the house - protected and provider and all that. Open doors for women and be chivalrous- this concept is largely gone for young men now. It’s a mess
    4
  36. Yeah I disagree.. when I go out socially I never see much of the hostile gender or race stuff as I do online. In fact I very rarely if ever see it
    4
  37.  @davedsilva  I swear to god folks will use any excuse to not go outside these days lol
    4
  38.  @Bkesal14 definitely I have to literally fight against my own programming in order to maintain relationships and it gets harder and harder the older I get
    3
  39.  @hiimtae661 hmm but let’s be honest - men need women and women need men. I know both genders like to pretend that living solo can work but it only works for a very small % of both genders. The entire system works much better if men are pairing up with women.
    3
  40.  @BobBob-eb4io to say the political divide is just an internet thing is shockingly wrong. Everything is political these days and you are forced to pick a side on every issue. It’s insane
    3
  41.  @idkdannymack4007 oh definitely, the culture in the 80s and 90s was much different. Back then kids would go outside much more often and go to malls and talk to each other. It’s weird as I live in a small town and it will be a nice summer day and no kids are outside or at the parks or riding bikes. It’s pretty weird actually - I don’t even know what young people do..? Just watch Netflix and YouTube?
    3
  42. Agree. While I’m against drunk driving and hard drug use, I find too many young people are way too safe and pc - there’s nothing wrong about going to a party and having a few beers. Many great times are had that way I think young people today are just so averse to feeling discomfort . If something might make them feel a little awkward or uncomfortable they find every excuse to not do it. It kills me that so many of them spend most of their lives online - there’s much more to life than that
    3
  43. Jesus guys, there are plenty of dirt poor people with rich friendships! The main problem here is you spend too much time online and not enough time being outside and talking to people face to face.. I’ve never seen a generation cripple itself like I have with Gen z
    3
  44. Yes and I bet it’s been made worse by spending too much time online watching doomer content .. like this video, how many videos do we need on the loneliness epidemic? It’s mind numbing at this point
    3
  45.  @jusatesst  eh but many that play videogames in excess would claim they just enjoy it as a hobby.. I see many guys that are spending unhealthy amounts of time playing videogames and then paying to watch others play games on twitch. Their entire social life is gathering on twitch and that’s not good at all lol.. Many of these guys really need to break out of their rut
    3
  46.  @Sarmatae1  he has a point though. Most women I know in their 30s will look at a man with a higher body count as being more desirable . Compare that guy to a guy that’s been with 2 women over the past decade and we know the result. I don’t care what women will say out loud, it’s how they feel instinctually. I would even look at a guy that rarely has sex or is not with women much in a different way . Are there women that would like a guy that hasn’t had much sex? Sure but these women are the exception .
    3
  47. I’m 36 and all if this is shocking. I never thought we’d even be discussing masculinity as when I was growing up it was well understood what men should be doing. Now it’s so confusing and I feel bad for young men
    3
  48.  @dee23gaming there’s so much more to life than books and quiet though.. I say this as a guy that lives solitude .. there’s nothing wrong about going to a party once in awhile
    3
  49.  @sandshark2 but modern women have much better or more friendships than men today yet are still very reliant on anti depressants
    3
  50. You are literally only looking at the worst aspects of partying though - there are plenty of benefits to going. You can network and meet new people .. oh and you have a great time and create memories ..
    3
  51. Well he’s right though. What do you expect him to say? What do incels want in terms of advice? Society will not adapt for incels, incels will have to adapt to fit into society. Exercise, eat healthier and go outside more often
    2
  52.  @Brandwein42 the only way to reduce social anxiety is through medication and/or exposing yourself to social situations slowly. Yes it’s uncomfortable but what other Orion do you have? The only way to learn social skills is through practice
    2
  53.  blankblackpill that is sad though and part of the problem! You can’t display certain traits to women through a dating app .. get offline more and start talking to women. Seriously it will work much better than those apps ever will
    2
  54.  @prod5head bingo! Most people don’t want to prioritize children like our parents and grandparents did.. instead they want to indulge in everything and it’s all about me me me!
    2
  55.  @genx7006  read your post a few times and tell me how you feel. You are comparing having children to watching Netflix and playing videogames.. you must be really young if you think this tech is going to make you a truly fulfilled and balanced human being
    2
  56.  @kevji but we all judge people based on how they look, this is instinctual and there for a good reason
    2
  57. Well if you have a large customer base it would be impossible to try and gauge how individuals are doing and then trying to tweak your system to better suit them. I think any creator that did this would end up exhausting themselves and hurt their business .. I guess it depends on how big you are and how many customers you have Once these creators set up a business and team around to support it - they must focus on profit to keep the machine going.
    2
  58. But it’s never been easier to keep in contact with friends! You folks have no clue how it was in the 80s and 90s and before .. back then we had to call friends or walk over to their house and talk to them.. nowadays you have a million different Options yet you Think it’s never been harder to keep in contact 🤔🤔🤔
    2
  59. I am so glad I grew up without social media. It is great and all but it’s going to end causing more problems than benefits
    2
  60. No the children movements doesn’t scare billionaires at all lol.. They will just grin at them and then import very eager and hungry immigrants that will work harder for lesser pay ..
    2
  61.  @NicheGreens  people are just lazy and depend too much on tech.. period. Plus they are much more averse to discomfort
    2
  62.  @maroc-al-helmidi  you don’t need to go to a nice restaurant to make friends!! Jesus just go for a walk and smile and talk to your neighbor - invite them Over to chill out and play bean bags.. you guys are complicating this issue beyond the which I can understand.. so many excuses being made
    2
  63.  @cherryhazard8002 but no, women will only date a guy if he is 6 feet tall and makes 100k a year 😊
    2
  64. It’s simply made us too comfortable and strangely enough that tends to lead to unhappiness ..
    2
  65.  @vaggs003 true the internet was awesome. Social media? Not so much
    2
  66.  @ADarnSmore do you want socialism? I mean, it’s worked so well in the past and current 🥴
    2
  67.  @Hotdogenthusiast  the problem is, online communication is not nearly as fulfilling as face to face socializing with friends. It saddens me to see so many young people that live their entire life online
    2
  68.  @Silas.Marner the fact that many young guys think it’s “creepy” to approach and talk to women is so bizarre. Women have not changed that much in a few decades - they still want to be approached by guys . I think way too many young people spend way too much time online - not enough time outside and talking to people face to face
    2
  69.  @MrJazzCat38  lol you do realize that most people aren’t just endlessly suffering through daily life, right? So many of you need to get offline and go out and talk to actual people. I see so many comments from folks that seem to be terminally online and miserable as a result
    2
  70.  @trentr9762 you obviously have never been to one lol.. I’m a huge introvert but trickery and I still loved going to parties with friends .. having a few drinks usually always resulted in a great time.. I created many memories that way and met quite a few people .. I almost feel bad for people that have never been to a party
    2
  71. I have to be honest - the younger(terminally online) generation does analyze things to an unhealthy degree! I’m All for discussing issues and finding solutions but this generation finds problems and obsesses over them and creates additional problems. It’s no surprise to Me that they are more anxious and unhappy than other generations
    2
  72. But they really don’t out in the real world(offline)..
    2
  73. Join clubs or sports programs and go for bike rides and talk to other kids you see. It’s not that hard to meet people - you are at your prime age for meeting people so try to take advantage of it! If you think it’s hard now just wait until you your mid 20s and beyond 😳

  74.  @sonicleaves I don’t think he or she realizes just how many people use drugs though
    2
  75.  @jabbaweezy Asian Men are the least desired by women. Indian men are in the same boat
    1
  76.  @MDOC321  it’s tough but what do you like to do? Board games? Sports? You need mutual hobbies
    1
  77.  @kosmosXcannon social skills are not hard to build though and once you do they stay around for a long time. If you don’t put effort into building them Though, you will greatly regret it down the road.. going into old age without strong social skills and relationships will be extremely difficult!
    1
  78.  @thewolf9851 lol most folks don’t exercise nor try to improve their social skills but they expect to strive for perfection by watching YouTube all day
    1
  79.  @bwc-chvd . “I’m 23. I guess it’s truly over” You are 23 years old! It’s far from over but you need to take small steps .. looks maxxing is fine but you need to learn social skills as it’s one of the most important areas in terms of getting into dating and relationships and.. there’s really only one way to improve social skills, you must socialize..
    1
  80.  @alisaq2986 if you are a hood looking guy that works out, then if you still can’t get laid then your ability to read women and social skills need work.
    1
  81. No many people could support children but they are unwilling to make the sacrifices necessary to do it.. these folks want to sleep in on the weekends, want $1,000 phones and want to watch movies and sports whenever they want.. Narcissism is at an all time high these days
    1
  82. I don’t it’s possible to bring back traditional masculinity at this point. 3rd wave feminism has really done a lot of damage in this area. Young guys I talk to don’t even know what they are supposed to do. It will take generations to correct this issue and we aren’t even going in that direction
    1
  83.  @CubicleJ0ckey the bottom line is value - if you offer someone enough value then they will come around.. supplying that value comes in many different forms ..
    1
  84.  @fuzzymelon1261 . Going by your logic, driving isn’t safe either - better not do that ever
    1
  85. That is a new thing though as growing up, most kids I knew were not so hesitant to approach and talk to people they didn’t know
    1
  86.  @elianagross9507 exactly I don’t understand how people seem to be clueless as to how to meet people . Are they so dependent on online activities that the “real life” stuff seems strange to them?
    1
  87. But did you make sure and nurture healthy relationships over the years?
    1
  88. Nonsense.. plenty of very poor people across the globe have very strong relationships .. we make too many excuses for not putting more effort into getting out there and talking to people.. just think of the time you spend watching this content - if you took that and devoted it to say going for a walk and smiling and talking to people - you could meet people in short time Seriously folks, stop making excuses, put your phone down and leave it home and go outside and be around people.. there are plenty of free activities you can do
    1
  89.  @iainthomas7092 . It truly blows my damn mind that guys like Hamza are making great $$ by giving out rather basic advice .. I have nothing against him or the others but how lost are young men that they pay for this advice?
    1
  90.  @titanjoc  yep and so many of these folks are going to be 45, single with no kids and most will not be fine with it. They will be gathered in the YouTube comments most likely complaining about the same things they are now lol
    1
  91. Yes but I wonder how much time many of you watch YouTube over trying to improve education or career? If you pursued education and career there’s no reason you should be making $12 an hour. In fact it is absurd that you would be making that amount
    1
  92.  @askel6498  nothing will ever work for everyone though but if you want to live a decent life in America, you can.. just be sensible about how much you spend and limit harmful vices. Most people can afford rent and a kid if they find someone that’s also willing to work
    1
  93.  @LamarcuesAnderson  guys we’ve never been safer or more comfortable in society than we are now.. don’t let online propaganda scare you so much
    1
  94.  @Principles_of_Psychology  yes back then people weren’t afraid to put in work .. nowadays folks spend way too much time complaining online
    1
  95.  @cloudwyrms9752  damn man, you guys use so many excuses .. gen z has the monopoly on that - I see the same comments made online every day .. same complaints over and over .. aren’t you folks tired of saying the same thing?
    1
  96.  @matt69nice  haha do what do you recommend then? For people to not work hard? Why focus on getting rich at all? Just focus on the basics and you can live a decent life .. many of you are warping your minds by constantly talking about this shit
    1
  97. You’ve obviously never been to a party. Most people that go to parties drink moderately - just enough to help them open up and be more social with others. There’s always a bad aspect to everything but it’s not wise to safeguard yourself from every possible bad thing
    1
  98. Ehh but most guys on here aren’t willing to approach women they don’t know. They are not willing to put actual effort in
    1
  99.  @cattysplat yes but what other option do you have? Just stay online and never talk to girls? Trust me, talking to girls is not that difficult and most want to be approached and talked to
