every time you post there's a weird vibe like you're trying to get someone to say a specific thing or admit a specific opinion so you can go "aha!" or something. like this devils advocate pusher vibe. do you want someone to say "it's possible that there exists a perfectly nice man but he's ugly and likes only nerdy things and hates working out and being true to himself and his nerdy unmainstream passions will cause him to be forever alone and that's not fair"? I'll say it. that could happen, probably has. sucks for him, some people get shafted.

It's not quite that, it's just the admission that there's a heck of a lot of contradictions in advice given about this and a lot of it ends up with people in these hosed up positions.

I mean, a lot of the things these guys rant about are actually true other than being ranted about. Yes, female sexuality is more valuable than male. That's because a man's contribution to reproduction potentially lasts a few minutes while the woman's lasts anywhere from months to her whole life and historically had a 5% or greater chance of killing her. Yes, not everyone is going to have a partner no matter what they do, the world isn't organized without failure. Yes, some people will remarry into families with existing children and not have their own.

It just seems screwed up that these people are making Matrix analogies about this stuff (since the "blackpill" is supposed to be opposite the Matrix "bluepill" as I understand it) because nobody in outside society will acknowledge it, because it might be discouraging. Which would be understandable if the result was "we avoid discouraging people", but actually some of these people end up thinking that if they aren't following the most positive traditional romance narrative then they're not deemed to exist.

the reason people don't talk about this is that it's unsolvable. there is always going to be some portion of people who will be considered extremely unappealing to others as a romantic or sexual partner. which portion of people may change over time or vary by society, but it never goes completely away. it is unfair that someone can, for example, be born with a face that 99% of people consider repellent, and be too poor for surgery, or be not fixable surgically, and which will cause many, many people to not even consider them as a partner. im sure that has happened. if you want to go the hobbies/interests route, it's possible that someone could have no natural inclination to the activities 99% of people in their society tend to enjoy, and only be interested in hobbies that have no/negative social capital, and engaging in these hobbies which they truly enjoy will cause many people to not consider them as partners. or any number of possible variables, with different degrees of choice vs born that way. that is real, and happens, and is profoundly sad.

but, nothing can really be done about this. you can try to slowly change the culture, but that likely won't help the person who is alone right now. what else can be done, realistically? I am seriously asking. what solution do you propose for this?








there is also the other bit which is that almost none of these apply to incels except that society finds their hobby/passion of "being generally bitter, hateful, purposefully repellent or smelly, and especially all of these toward women" to be a repellent hobby and state of mind.

It's really weak speculation. IMHO he was definitely not gay, just a dweebus who played the long game and did all right. Good president anyway.

Theodore Roosevelt is my kind of president though, that dude just ran into walls over and over and over until the walls fell down and also his daughters and his wife edith (the one anyone remembers) were fuckin smart and cool. he let his daughter smoke on the roof of the white house and own snakes and stuff.

The reason female sexuality is more valuable (in a world with birth control and health care) is because society is run by loving moron idiots who perpetuate the lie that women just inherently don't enjoy sex as much as men and need to be coerced or tricked or forced into it.

And the same loving moron idiots think it's cool and good to leave young men to learn about sex entirely from porn, leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy where a bunch of men are poo poo at sex, but have no incentive to ever try to be better (and if they do, they do it by mimicking porn instead of asking women what they enjoy), and they just think it's normal when women are reluctant before sex and miserable afterwards because 'women don't like sex'.

Plenty of men also don't care about it and plenty more only do it performatively because you aren't a Real Man unless you are balls deep in something.

I am willing to accept 'some people care about sex a whole lot and other people less so' as long as we don't pretend that the reason women are treated like sex vending machines is ACTUALLY because of biology and so what can you do :shrug:

Men aren't DTF 100% of the time either tho and the expectation that men always wanna gently caress has lead to some really hosed up stuff, too.

But like, you know that when people are making the argument that women aren't inherently less horny than men it's because we're coming from a cultural context where the existance of the clitoris was in hot debate until relatively recently and the female orgasm is still seen as a myth by signification portions of the population, right? If women don't care about sex as much as men do, I think that's mostly because men are in general really lovely at getting women off*.

* Because sex education is bad and people are still taught women don't orgasm

A lot of women are anorgasmic though. I think in different studies it usually hovers around 10% of women have never experienced climax and never will, and quite a few don't regularly (which may or may not be because their partners are trash).

Oh but that wasn't my point... yeah I think women genuinely don't care as much about sex though, on the whole, and that a lot of the sexual behavior of women in their teens and 20s, this based off of knowing a lot of women then and now, and being one, is basically the result of social pressure, and they did a lot of things that they genuinely didn't really want to do, but thought they were supposed to want to do if they were "free". It was a strategy that a male-dominated society used to try to get what it wanted, women be damned one way or the other.

I think part of the anorgasmia is mental feedback, though. Since female sexuality is treated so badly a lot of women get an averse response to it and sometimes the mind is just going to shut that down no matter how great their current partner is, like with vaginismus.

Like I'm not disagreeing with you on the pressure being insane and unhealthy, I'm just saying in the current state of things it's p impossible to determine what is truly biological and what is environmental because the environment aspect is so pervasive and so toxic.

The whole issue/question about women and sex reminds me of something.

When I was a kid, for a while I thought I didn't like music. This is funny to me now because it turned out that music is one of my favorite things in life.

It just happened that the music my friends were listening to was complete crap, in my opinion. I thought I was supposed to like it, because my friends said it was good, and when I didn't go for it, I thought there was something wrong with me.

I only found the music I liked later by experimenting and learning my own tastes. I learned that there was a world of diverse options out there. First I had to be open to the idea that there was music I might like.

But what if there was a stigma against that? What if I was never even allowed to listen to any music except the most absolute low-talent junk that my friends insisted was awesome, or I would get branded as a degenerate? Or what if I had been afraid to admit that I didn't like the stuff they listened to, and I lied to my friends and pretended it was great?

I would never have learned that I like music. And I might even have become resentful of other people who did, or expected special compensation of some sort for putting up with music.

This is completely missing the point he was making, that the incels are so caught up in "what does this skill do for me" that they miss the point that they need to pursue a skill or hobby that they actually enjoy. If you go in with any kind of mindset other than "hmm this is interesting and I'd like to do it" you're making a mistake.

But then some people just don't like anything, even if you factor out the goal-oriented mentality. Depression is a thing. I have taken up some hobbies just for the sake of appearing normal and not letting people know that I'm a copy of a human. Because people won't accept that. If you don't have hobbies you're lazy and just need to "live, laugh, love" and all that poo poo. Otherwise, gently caress you and stop being a miserable oval office. That's the attitude. People think that depressed people of those who are otherwise empty inside need (and I say need because they're are people who get personally offended if you reveal this aspect of your true self to them) to just man the gently caress up.

As another poster previously put it, incels think there is only one thing that will make them feel fulfilled but in reality there is nothing that will make them feel fulfilled.

And yes, these men do need therapy and/or meds. I won't deny that. But they also need a coping strategy in the meantime to stop their skin from crawling when they're around other people.

Basically I'm saying that positive mental health should be cultivated by society from an early age.
