I had a terrible experience with volleyball. Turned up as a beginner and this tiny hot chick who was a bit too commando kept moving into my space taking my shots. After the 10th time just let her bounce off me. Then some white knight dude gave me a spray for 'dangerous play'. I told him to go **** himself and walked. I think it was because there were only 2 chicks there. You definitely need a group with a good ratio or the white knighting gets outa control.
Yea I know the kB alphas will say I should have picked up the hottie. Let's just say I prefer to fish in a bucket rather than hunt in a c0ck forest.
BINGO!!! My man right here, he gets it.....
Women seek out large congregations of men because they know SIMPs will fight amongst each other for female attention... It's easy validation for them.
Let's take the basketball courts. This is a high testosterone, highly competitive environment. When a female shows up, and especially if she's attractive, guys on the courts will up the level of trash talking and competition to impress the female (whether consciously or subconsciously)....
Women get high off of the validation they get from seeing men fight amongst themselves for their affection....
This is why at my gym women love to do their stretching on the basketball courts instead of the cardio room that's literally just 20 feet away....
I'm not saying this is a healthy environment nor is it productive for a man to congregate in groups with other men solely for the reason of attracting women, I'm just pointing out one of the reasons why loner men struggle with women is simply due to having less opportunities to interact with them, and also they lack experience when dealing with other guys trying to one-up them in the presence of women.
