The guys that are having the time of their lives rarely or never complain
There was one supposedly successful guy on here who would routinely express his contempt for other men and huge swaths of women and locations on this earth. Reading his posts, it seemed as if he had a pathological hatred for most of mankind.
First of all women have always been like this. As someone mentioned above, there were all kinds of social structures to keep women in check. We now witness the true nature of women at full display for everyone to see.
We should state this again:
there is no such thing as "modern women"! There are only women in the modern day with constraints lifted off them. What we see in them now, is who they would have been thousands of years ago had no societies kept them in check. All great civilizations regulated them. But... as much as some complain about their behavior today, they should think about what would happen if they were once again kept in check: no gaming, no Don Juaning, no spinning plates, no adding to the notch count. Much fun would end, but nearly all men--yes, including the betas, who do not produce when they have no stake in the future (no women, no children)--would be married, with laws and social pressures in place to have woman penalized or losing out if she were to monkey branch out of the marriage (because they get bored) or cheat.
Even in the West (I know people love to bring up the Middle East when discussing this stuff), adultery was punishable by death. Germanic societies would allow men to take the law into their own hands for dealing with adulterous wives and home wreckers, including death by drowning. In some societies, women's families would have to fork over valuables to men's families before marriage for possible future restitution if the women cheated. And as we know, men would have court women and ask their father's permission to marry their daughters. Wh0res were looked upon as some of the lowliest members of society. Divorced women were shunned. Even up until a few decades ago, before daddy gubment didn't turn men into simps in their own households, incapable of defending their families, male family members would snoop up on and surveil female members. Even my own granddad scared the sh-t out of my aunt for seeing a guy he didn't approve of. He also once gave a nasty look to a woman my uncle brought over without prior notice and she hesitated to ever go back. I don't think he wanted to ruin my uncle's chances with a woman. I think the message he intended for the people of the opposite sex was, "Do not f-ck with us!"
Do men have authority over their families and can they direct their future lineage these days? Absolutely not! Sexually loose societies provide a lot of fun, but they also make simps and sycophants out of men, including many Don Juans.
I see only two ways here:
1. Societal regulation with monogamous marriage (with all social constraints in place to enforce it, and no divorce industry to ruin men and children) with most men having wives, which is the most productive way because it fosters civilization, progress and innovation, allows for high-investment parenting, and reduces social pathologies and heightened male competition.
2. A sexual free-for-all with Don Juans, PUA’s, casual sex, game, unhinged, unaccountable women (that's not complaint), depopulation, single mothers, neglected children, broken homes, domestic abuse at the hands of single mothers' men, bastard men acting out in anti-social and criminal ways, decreased productivity amongst the beta population, men competing with one another to get to the top of the heap, and every other problem caused by such an environment.
If you are older and trying for young women. Your looks have to be top notch. In other words, if people (mostly women) are not telling you, unsolicited, you are ‘handsome’, you probably don’t make the cut.
Friends/family saying this don’t count.
I think some men have a problem coming to grips with the fact that they cannot attract beautiful young women. Compounding this are other men saying men who are realistic are setting themselves short and are "defeatist," as if being aware of oneself is defeatist. That's why when I was single I folllowed Dr. Glover's "walk through open doors" approach. That is, see who shows you interest, and choose from them. He would routinely get ordinary guys in his therapy practice stating they only wanted beautiful women. He would tell them that's a great way to be lonely on Friday nights.
