Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Lols i just realised this.

Around 15 years ago just at the start of the manosphere i remember there was a huge online space around masculinity in the manosphere. This was stuff like Art of manliness, RooshV's Neomasculinity (which didnt take off) etc.

This was a discussion on how to find a place for masculinity in the modern world. In those days we understood that a major problem in society and to some extent a motivation of the manosphere was to rekindle masculinity in a modern world seeking to remove it and hence displace masculine men.

But somehow somewhere all that discussion died.

Now in 2024 evry thing is messed up. Those earlier questions around the displacement of masculinity and masculine values from modern society have died.

I just had the epiphany that this is exactly the cause of the problems of the modern world especially the modern west.

I do consider myself a 'high energy masculine' type of guy. I need strong energy to be stable and i find i have too much energy for most people. This causes me to have issues in modern society workplaces family social groups etc.

I know that the mental and psychological issuea of current modern society are very much related to masculine men not having a place.

In a way we foresaw this time 15 years ago and this is what we were afraid of.

Things moved kinda fast since those days and the displacement of masculine values and role models from society was not addressed.

Evrything else exists in society except a place for masculine energy.

The corporate business and capitalism world has become even more female centric as we had feared.

But women are seriously unhappy and messed up. High energy masculine men like myself have no place and i am finding it hard to fit in with the low energy and toxic attitudes of most 'normies'.

But masculine men are always needed by society. Today it is not to fight wars so much, not even to do hard work like building infrastructure etc but simply to fix the broken system and save civilization.

Thoughts?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

This is certainly true. Our focus has shifted to "how to get laid" and "what did I do wrong on this date". We have stopped discussing deeper topics like masculinity, mindset, philosophy, etc, that ironically will lead to a better sex life.

The root of many problems in the manosphere is not the dating market and how horrible women are, is how we as men fundamentally think and act.

You see, we have effectively transitioned to a "blaming society". It is a whole lot easier to point fingers outward rather than inward.
