Article: Men are lost. Here’s a map out of the wilderness.

[Bokanovsky]

You are forgetting that this only applied to men classified as "white". A large chunk of Americans have grandparents that are still alive today that were institutionally discriminated against from voting, civil rights, housing, fair due process, and etc. Yeah that era for white men to enjoy a steep hill advantage over groups of people is over, I agree. Do not get triggered over my post, go foam over a US history book if you have a problem with it.

So what? Show me a country that didn’t historically treat minorities like sh!t. Heck, most countries treated their majorities like sh!t too. If you are a descendant of African slaves, you are in America only because your ancestors were sold to the white man by their fellow Africans. At least Americans didn’t sell their neighbors for trinkets and gunpowder.

Don’t get triggered over my post, go foam over a history book of any country other than the US if you have a problem with it.

Shocker! You resorted to be employing a red herring as a means to avoid directly defending your point. From my knowledge, you aren't American right? To be honest, I would recommend refraining from making assertive statements concerning American history, as it is evident that your level of education in this field may not be as comprehensive as required. Based on your profile picture alone, I am 95% confident on what you will say next and how, so this discussion is pointless.

I can tell you right now, being here or more than half a year, I can say without a doubt that majority of men on Sosuave are CLUELESS when it comes to women and game. Sadly, even some of the guys people respect on here and tag on here in their posts, these guys say some stuff that really ousts them as inexperienced or severely lacking.

With that being said, what I see outside in the real world is far different than what I see and hear on the internet. Of course, the environment and people i'm around are capable/ confident men who have on average a good to moderate level of success in their life.. and are well polished in most areas of their life.

I’m sure he’s already posting under another handle. There are plenty of new personas over the last year that sound amazingly familiar as those who’ve been banned.

This excerpt got my attention:

Because men still dominate leadership positions in government and corporations, many assume they’re doing fine and bristle at male complaint. After all, all 45 U.S. presidents have been male, and men still make up more than two-thirds of Congress. A 2020 analysis of the S&P 500 found that there were more CEOs named Michael or James than there were female CEOs, period. Women are still dealing with historical discrimination and centuries of male domination that haven’t been fully accounted for or rectified. Are we really worrying that men feel a little emasculated because their female classmates are doing well?

But millions of men lack access to that kind of power and success — and, downstream, cut loose from a stable identity as patriarchs deserving of respect, they feel demoralized and adrift. The data show it, but so does the general mood: Men find themselves lonely, depressed, anxious and directionless.

———

The above excerpt is the foundation of the problem.

The men who are in power, who have the money, who make the rules, it is BENEFICIAL for them to WEAKEN the average man by giving economic, social, and legal power to women along with the other groups. Combine that with chastising men for showing any sexual urges, chastising men for wanting to have sex with a woman, or for wanting offspring and wanting a family.

It’s a tough road for men.

It is not a tough road for men. Are certain institutional thoughts under attack and certain experiences being taken away, yes. Are men any less likely to succeed or be chosen, absolutely not. At least not from the world as I see it. I work in one of the most prestigious companies in one of the most prestigious offices in New York, and I will tell you that men are still men, as woke as we claim to be. And we claim to be really fcking woke. Don’t believe everything you read and hear. Newspaper are in the business of selling papers just like Rollo is in the business of selling red pill convention tickets while he goes home and eats his wife’s a$$ out and tells you not to.

He won't be hard to recognize. He won't be able to resist telling everyone how great he is.

We certainly have, of late, been hosting some serious characters. Most I attribute to misguided youth and posturing, (schools out here in the US) but then there are some folks that definitely need some electroshock therapy and maybe a frontal lobotomy.

His wisdom was vast, but it was his posts on mindfulness that really won me over.

A long read:

Except:

I started noticing it a few years ago. Men, especially young men, were getting weird.

It might have been the “incels” who first caught my attention, spewing self-pitying venom online, sometimes venturing out to attack the women they believed had done them wrong.

This masculinity craze is getting out of hand. I should to tell my female friends (the good ones) and some plates; not the trouble ones, anytime I do something for them and question why I did it because they haven't experienced someone going all for them in any way or think they don't deserve that gesture that: Men take care of their own. To me this is masculinity in purest form. To take of your own you need to grind and work for money, go to gym for strength, create a mental fortitude so that you don't become weak. This is masculinity! Men taking care of their own. I once had a girls tell me that all this masculinity stuff does matter one was cousin who once come to ask me for money. If I didn't believe in masculinity and didn't grind for money will I be having to give. The other girl an ex also came asked for financial support sometime ago. If I didn't grind I wouldn't have been to provide and you will know what they would day behind my back " he is not man enough".
The rule is simple; hunt or be hunted. Men take care of their own. Don't waste your time on a girl who doesn't appreciate and doesn't respect you and won't give you intimacy. You are not her dad or big brother. Leave her alone keep your resources and time for your family and the girls that appreciate you and make you feel like a man.

So how do you think the men that have power and success got there? And what segment are you referring to? Politicians, CEO's?

They had an advantage and took the chance to be successful.

You think they all came from rich families? Families that have political connections?

Yes. The truth is that very very few men at the top do not start with good families and network connections. The few that do, well.... they actually start by building strong network connections. Here is the truth.... no one makes it on effort and skill alone... unless you are an athlete or some other innate skill that that people are willing to pay for.

If you took all the wealth in the USA, and evenly divided it up among every citizen. In 10 years, all that wealth will be right back where it started. Why? Because you can take EVERYTHING away from a successful person and they would still have those network corrections... with that network they can climb right back up. Yes... you have to have skill and willingness to bust your @ss, but that IS NOT ENOUGH. You have to have the network.

What keeps you from being one of those if that is your goal?

Skill, effort, luck, and people you know.
