"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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
