      Yeah it’s really invidating and alienating young men.

      Liberals wonder why young men flock to the conservative, and then they say stuff that’s just very invalidating. Like, if you want to convince somebody, you have to make an attractive offer. Instead, it feels as if today’s “feminists” are just blaming everything bad in the world on men. Even though your neighbor man has exactly zero responsibility for the world at large.

        People just aren’t wired to handle uncomfortable self truths. We haven’t figured out a way to get around it yet as a society.

      Not all lonely men are douches, but most douches are lonely.

      (if your reflexive instinct is to downvote and argue, you might be a lonely douche who wants validation more than outcomes. Nah, I ain’t arguing with you, go buy some youtube streamer’s self-help book surely that will do the trick.)

        In my experience, the douchiest of men are surrounded by women. Look at the Tate brothers, for an example.

          While I don’t necessarily disagree, citing the Tate brothers for the amount of women around them isn’t great because they’re probably trafficking most of those women.

            I’m more referring to their female social media followers, who go on about how great their (toxic) masculinity is, rather than the very real female victims of their narcissism , which you’re quite right to note.

        Not all douches are lonely. There’s a stereotypical “rich man with a yacht that gets all the women” and the “high school football player who’s an arrogant douche and still gets all the girls”.

        I’m not arguing with you either, i’m just writing it for the other people reading this thread.
