That's facts dude accept it as part of the swallowing that bitter red pill!
You nailed it. I thought I reached a place of acceptance, but it's clear I've got additional things to nail down.
How do you know it's a "great life?" Show me a woman with an ass-kissing husband who gives her everything, and I will see a woman who is bored, miserable, and fantasizing about cheating on him with me. Happiness is not limited to a list of easily observed tangible traits. You can never know how happy someone is by looking at their life from the outside.
Bored, miserable and fantasizing. Poor girl and her first world "issues". Snark aside, you're spot on Bible. Appearances can be very deceiving, and what goes on behind closed doors often tells a vastly different story. Thanks for the reality check. Where I live, people are masters at covering up their drama and perfecting appearances, perhaps that's why it's so easy to buy into it.
Having said this, I do think these boards do give an incredibly distorted view of women. I'm not denying there are a tonne of bad eggs out there.. but there are certainly some good ones too, however few in number they may be - it's just where to find them?
To add to what you said, I think the key danger with these boards is that they can give off the vibe ALL women are messed up when in reality that isn't the case. There are a lot of great women out there, but I don't see many of them where I'm currently living. These boards are great for keeping men this side of the blue pill, but it's very easy to start seeing the entire female population as a F'd up mess.
The most recent 3 women were problematic. The first one griped about the beard. I asked myself, what will she be unhappy with next? Wallet size? Penis size? My friends? My business? The second one was a thinly veiled gold digger and the third was a self-absorbed circus. In all 3 cases, the unthinkable happened. Sexual attraction vaporized.
That said though, I totally get where you are coming from, as do the majority of guys on this forum. Dating fvcking blows at times, especially when all you are seeing is one cookie-cutter self-absorbed, self-seeking, narcissistic **** after another. Then, like me, you meet a woman (or women) who dont necessarily redeem your faith in the gender, but do give you some perspective that the entire lot hasn't gone bad.
I agree with you---it's unfair the way life is sometimes and it sucks that we have to bust balls and WORK for our keep while all they need to do is look pretty and put out (or not put out). However, hating the game wont change it. Men are the great enablers of women, because we want pvssy, and we (collectively) buy the social schemas that have been propagated for years.
Such a great chunk of wisdom here I'm not sure where to begin. That's the part that's frustrating. It's easy to blame the women and get mad at the women, but it's male enabling that perpetuates the current state of affairs.
The bottom line is that until my post was made, I thought I'd accepted things, but when the perfect storm hit, the house of cards came down. Thanks for the reality check.
The real horror of it all is the astounding depth and breadth of modern woman's decline.
Agreed. It's literally a 180 from 50 years ago, hell, 20 years ago. I can still remember my high school days before social media was around. Yea, women slept around, but it wasn't anything like what we see today with sexting and attention wh0ring. Back then, if a girl got pregnant, she was taken out of school in order to protect her from ridicule, or placed into a special program for mothers still in school. Now, it's birth control and abortion then back to gangbangs.
The world WILL ALWAYS be filled with honey-boo-boo morons who have trouble thinking for themselves.
If you're expecting validation, approval or recognition from the modern woman, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
Wise words as always, taiyuu. Regarding the three dates, I'm not sure I was seeking any kind of validation from these women. I just, more or less, snapped at what seemed like disrespect, feeble attempts to "change" me and self-centeredness. I would reframe your comment as disappointment that many women don't hold to the same things men value like respect, honor, loyalty and service. To take pictures of food and coffee on a date, ask what a man makes in a round-about way, and comment on his appearance in a negative way while mentioning marriage seems like bottom-feeding behavior. It's not even adult behavior. For all the demonizing of men I see/hear daily, I've yet to see this level of disrespect/immaturity from any man I've ever known.
Rest assured there are worthy females out there for a man like you. I agree that most (in the US anyway) are way too into social networking/pop culture/smartphones etc. and way too vapid for anything more than a pump and dump. But every so often I meet one with her act together.
Good stuff samspade.
After all, if you NEED some one to fulfill your life, then you need to mend that hole in your psyche
Good point. I've remained single for a good while now intentionally, for this exact reason. My goal was to attain 100% comfort being on my own, and to reach a place of complete independence financially, socially, and emotionally. My thinking was that if I couldn't be content rolling solo, then how could I not fall into needy behavior if I started dating again?
At any rate, thanks for the reality checks gents. Clearly, Acceptance is the moral of the story. Glad Rome wasn't built in a day.
