Worst of the Manosphere: Matt Forney

[Listen_to_Olly]

I've been thinking about this lately. Not Matt Forney in particular, but the fact that there's this whole Manosphere/Red Pill/anti-feminism etc. movement online, full of experts and rabble-rousers. And then there's SoSuave, which quietly occupies its tiny little space. SS is and has been mostly positive, obviously there are heated political arguments here, but it's mostly about self-improvement. Forney, Roosh, ROK, and the like, I've found to be angry click bait. I agree in spirit with a lot of what guys like them have to say, but so much of it is anger and bad energy, it's just not where I want to be. That's the internet in 2017 though - everybody's angry and they all think their opinions are so important. On SS we used to say "AFC" - average frustrated chump. A lot of manosphere guys sound frustrated these days, when they should be happy for the lives they lead and the women they plow. Maybe they're not white supremacists or alt-right, but I see a lot of complaining about Jews, "f@ggots," "cucks," Mexicans, and blacks. A lot of epithets. I don't mind people arguing their points, but the anger and low-class name calling is stupid, in my opinion. They also revel in their own pseudo-celebrity and seem to relish drawing people into fights. And unless they are - to a man - improving their own lives, they're not changing anything or defeating feminism. I guess my overall point is Thank God for SoSuave.

I don't think most of these dudes are really doing all that well with women and if they are getting laid, it's like through some sort of expat game old westerners run in Thailand.

I've been around guys that get laid regularly and used to be that guy a couple years ago before a ton of other responsibilities kicked in, believe I will get back on track later on. What I noticed is that when you're in that situation, you could care less.

You could care less about politics, feminist vs mens right, or any of that; you're just busy getting laid and living life. Maybe I say that because I am in my 20s but you could really care less about any of that stuff.

Getting laid, especially if you want quality, takes work and it takes time out of your week. I found that along with getting laid, working, and building my life I just didn't have time to even think about the politics or any of this crap.
