"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Louis Theroux explores extreme manosphere influencers in new documentary on Netflix


I watched it and it's quite cringe worthy, it gives a pretty a skewed perspective to the masses.

Anyone else seen it? What do you think?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I would have like it to be deeper and really explore what's happening and not on such a superficial level cherry picking the usual stereotypes.

It would have been nice to focus on the struggles men are facing these days.

Things like how modern dating has changed. Gone are the days of finding a girl, getting married, raising children and growing old together (I suspect this is something the vast of majority men desire and want).

Instead men are being forced to adapt in a world where relationships don't last, marriage is a huge financial gamble and stability isn't really a given anymore.

With social media , lack of role models, so many mixed messages e.t.c.

I think young men are feeling lost, don't know what they are supposed to do and struggling to find their place in the world and purpose.

So I believe the manosphere has been born out of necessity.


I think there are a spectrum of influencers in the manosphere some good some bad.

Would have loved the documentary to have focused on the "why", the struggles of young men more and explored both the good and bad.

Painted a more accurate picture.

That was the whole idea behind the redpill.

But it's been taking hostage by " the leaders" to propagate their bs message. And to address OP,s post;

Sometimes it's hurts when people put a mirror in front of you...the manosphere did it to itself rather than outsiders trying to " unnecessarily " shame the space.

Let's be real; we're in like 10 years now and what good did it bring?

None, and worse yet, there's an argument to be made that much of it has been a regression. More men would actually benefit from getting thrown onto on the streets on their asses for awhile, like so

Where getting bogged down in theorizing about sh-t endlessly is no longer an option
