Do you know why the standard response to angry incelposting was "have sex"?
It's because you all are wrapped up in fantasies that are far too removed from any real world bases. And saying you want a book to change your mind is yet more fantasizing.

The real cure is not bookreading, but real world experience---if you can convince a woman to spend time with you and have intimate relations with you.

You'll need to fall in love and realize that barely any of the things pol9k told you to care about matter to you, because she's not gonna be perfect, but she makes you happier than anyone else ever has and that's what's really important. You stop viewing the relationship selfishly, as a means to your own pleasure, and begin to see her as a human too with her own wants and needs that you must fulfill too---because if she isn't happy, she will leave you, and then you will be unhappy too.

No, HAHA, not at all. You’ll love a girl and then slowly realize she not only confirms everything others said, but goes even worse than that.

I tried this and it made me hate most women my age even more. Thought I was in love until I realised what a manipulative, arrogant, delusional, entitled nitwit she was. I'm so glad I snapped out of it and broke up with her.
Honestly, I really have only myself to blame. There were plenty of times that I thought I should bail, but I let "love" overpower my better judgement. Untempered by reason, love will completely fuck you up and not in a good way at all.
Maybe it's just because I live on the West Coast, but I have yet run into a woman who isn't, to at least some degree, a fart smelling shit lib addicted to victimhood.

You seem like a reasonable dude so I'm wondering if you can give me a straight answer to the question I'm gonna ask unlike that dweeb >>17486845. What's the motive for being in a relationship with a woman? I've never been in a relationship and have never really felt that anything was lacking in my life. I don't feel compelled to seek one out.
Based on a lot of what I've gathered over the years it seems like men and women really don't have much in common with one another and don't really seem to like one another all that much outside of the fact that biological instinct compels them to seek one another out.
I have a hypothesis that "love" was evolved to make men and women able to tolerate one another. If they actually were able to get along with and appreciate one another "naturally", the way I am able to with my same sex friends, then why would evolution have created love? Honestly, I have never been friends with a woman. They just don't interest me socially. At best I find them unrelatable, at worst I find them annoying. I'm sexually attracted to them, but I can take care of that by masturbating.
So, what is the motive for getting into a relationship? If it's just about sex, I can't imagine that tolerating all the rest would make it worth it. If it's about the "warm fuzzies" that people get when they hear "I love you", is that really worth all headaches, compromises, and the work that it seems to require to be in a relationship? Or is it maybe just about conforming to social expectations? People always act like I've revealed something aberrative about myself when I tell them that I've never been in a relationship and I do not understand why. What am I missing?

>> No.17487244

It's not about all women. I dislike most people I encounter. All I need is a few I like. So "misoginy" isn't a concern to me because mainly I'm looking for a few friends and one special girl. The rest of womanhood or manhood can be as depraved as they want so long as I'm not being murdered.

You gotta believe in that one special encounter and wade through a mud pile to find it. That's always been the case. Just accept that you're probably hard to please and not everyone will be compatible with you.

I’m not him but you answered your own question. If you didn’t fall for the fairy tale view of relationships/marriage then the point of a relationship is to have a sexual partner that you like being around. If your sexual needs are being satisfied already then there isn’t a problem. The question is just are you being honest with yourself? Are you actually curious about engaging with a woman but perhaps afraid? Also if you aren’t autistic it should be obvious that the cultural norm is having a Disney relationship and living happily ever after with your partner, it’s considered the biggest purpose of life. Naturally telling people you don’t desire that is going to make people question you because that’s what their purpose is all about.

A relationship is about whatever you want it to be about. Maybe a relationship is not just about sex. That is something you will never find out just by speculating about it. If you are curious, which it sounds like you are, you may find out for yourself what a relationship is about. But whatever your relationship is about, may be different from what others relationship is about. For me it is a sexual thing. I agree it’s not needed. If you are lonely it is needed, if you aren’t lonely it isn’t needed. It’s something I desire.

This is true, but as you acknowledge, that doesn't mean you'll hate them. It turns out it's a very fine line, a healthy view of women, that treats them as neither subhuman nor divine.

This is literally true, my opinion of women dropped tremendously as soon as I started spending large amounts of time speaking to them. They're constantly whining and whining about stupid, inane, vapid shit that no sane person could care any less about - like what their dumb coworkers were gossiping about during lunch break or who said what about whom. I can hardly understand how they can remember that shit. Their attempts at manipulating you are so transparent and insipid as well; they're not even interesting enough for a study, I wonder how Weininger had the energy to bother with the problem of women. Nietzsche was right about them, they really want nothing other than to bleat and be comfortable, forever.
There is an issue with "male fantasies", but the issue is that men imagine cute, perky and energetic, beautiful goddesses. In fact, women, even when they are beautiful, are extremely boring and shallow. If you ever think you are speaking to a "highly educated" and "intelligent" woman, I implore you to ask her to tell you more about herself, her concerns and what she considers most important in life, how she spends her days etc - you will see that no matter how much Shakespeare or Chaucer she has read and memorised, in the end of the day there has been no existential or personal growth at all and she is just like the rest of her kind.

This is not a bait. I think this is a pretty good argument. Most men are mediocre, this is a fact. Most women are mediocre as well, but unlike women's, men's mediocrity comes with an added spice: them being the cause of world's 90% evil and oppression. So there's strong reason to have discontent to be the default attitude towards them.

I feel like, in a way, you are touching on a broader aspect of the imperfect human condition.
Love is far from the only thing that follows this line of logic; the same idea can be applied to deep friendships, our quest for greater understanding of the world, our desire for power, and anything that we engage in other than eating and sleeping.
We are just fine without many if the things we engage in/strive for in our lives, and many times these things actually impede our ability to be happy. However, I'd argue that in order to live completely it's necessary to engage with these flawed aspects of our existence because our existence is fundamentally related to our imperfecy physical bodies whether we like it or not. To try to deny this or live differently is nothing short of self delusion.
Your egotistical nature, your sexual degeneracy, etc. are inescapable because they are fundamentally linked to your body/brain, and therefore existence.
There is no other way to exist.
So embrace it, just dont get too carried away and see it for what it truly is.

This. I remember I used to be far more misogynistic when I was an introvert who didn't talk to many men or women. All of my close friends were male and they were quite smart. I assumed that if I made more friends that I was going to find more interesting men and more shallow women based on the group I had surrounded myself with, but this wasn't the case at all. The majority of men are just as dislikable and mediocre as women are made out to be on 4chan or incel communities. The thing that bothered me about the mediocre men I met though was that they thought they were exceptional. Despite the fact that men are less likely to seek therapy or similar services, there are still more men that are diagnosed narcissists compared to women. This is probably why men are more likely to perpetuate violence and evil; men believe they are superior. I don't think my view of women has improved, but rather that I see men as they truly are now. People in general are quite shit.

I concur with your perspective mostly. From my own perspective, I see no real reason or justification why weak and mediocre men deserve love.

Other men don't respect you---at least the ones with brains enough to see you for what you truly are---so why should women, whose entire biological existence is predicated on acquiring for herself the best possible male mate she can? Why do you resent women not treating you well, but not the men too? Because you think you're entitled to a woman of your own? What have you done, and what are you, to deserve sex or love?

Now deeply insecure men will try to effeminately flip the script and say
>"AKSHUALLY WOMEN DON'T DESERVE LOVE EITHER, THEY'RE JUST AS MEDIOCRE IF NOT WORSE!"
Well newsflash faggot, *you're* the male---or, at least, you're *supposed* to be; but it looks like you'd rather bitch and moan about how unfair it is and relish being a victim, instead of growing up, taking responsibility for your status in life, fixing it and yourself, and becoming a man that women actually want to be around and with. I understand being frustrated that it's difficult to figure out how to actually become that, but most 4chan users are just straight up too lazy and too complacent to even attempt this maturation, even if they did know precisely how to achieve this result. It's easier to just declare that the grapes are sour.

>HAHA INCELS SEETHE ITT. lmao none of you will ever have sex and it’s all your own fucking faults bc you cannot look inward and see that the common denominator in your women problems is YOU. like maybe try being fucking pleasant for once lmao. if you hate women SPOILER ALERT they’ll hate you right back you pathetic little shitcunts.

I just wrote something similar to that in my diary in the past hour. So maybe you were looking for something more rational in response to this, but I've got something more personal so I'll share that with you instead:

>I want to start over with [my girl], as a changed man. ... I don't want to be a weak man anymore who dreams up more and more problems where none before needed to exist. I wanted too much from [my girl] that I didn't deserve, and I was indignant when I had little to no justification to be about being refused what I wanted. I want her to give me a second chance to prove that I'm worthy. I didn't realize I was in the wrong until she punished me by taking herself away from me.

>I was overly arrogant in a way, and I needed my ego checked. I say "in a way", because although I'm not exactly a prideful or vain person, I still refused to come to the conclusion that my inadequacies truly made me nigh worthless, and that I needed to shape up or eat shit. I thought I was better than I had the right to believe. I know I'm a fucking loser and potential doesn't mean shit when you spend [5+] years past age 18 doing nothing to manifest it. I was used to coasting by life without putting in any real effort until the final hour; I lacked the discipline to actually make tangible real world gains that weren't easy pickings.

That's what I wrote, reflecting on a recent and tragic fuck-up.

Essentially, immature men will think they're good enough to deserve attention and effort from women, when they're really not (yet). But instead of realizing that they need to work on themselves more, they get angry they aren't being accepted "for who they are" as if it's wrong for women---after reading so many horror stories about women who tried and failed to "change" their men"---to not want to take a chance on what is essentially a stalled project: a man who goes on and on about how he has the potential to one day be something great, but is at this point far too arrogant to admit he needs to start getting his ass in gear sooner rather than later. And it's the lack of honest self-reflection, the unwillingness to admit how much they suck, that is holding back so many men these days from reaching for happiness.

This is painfully true, specifically the part about 'the unwillingness to admit how much they suck'.' Even the most self-confident men can sometimes understand that they have room for improvement, and this has been taken advantage of. The rising popularity of self-help gurus for men is destroying many men's chance at genuine self improvement in my opinion. Young men are being convinced that their path to success rests in making small quality of life changes that will yield massive results, when it's simply not true. Because of services like YouTube it's easier than ever to reach large audiences of men in despair and sell them banal advice disguised as life changing ideas. So many mediocre men I've encountered are completely immersed in the world of self help, but never actually see their life improve. These gurus will never dare tell their audience that they need to examine themselves or that perhaps there is something wrong with them as a person, they simply want to sell more copies of their terrible books filled with 'tips and tricks' about how you can make yourself happier. The results is a generation that is more narcissistic than ever. Men use social media to have their thoughts and ideas constantly relayed back to them and look to their self-guru idols to ensure them that they're making 'progress' by following their advice.

Once there was a time when the concept of separate genders or sexes never existed. Humanity was once little more than a single cell at one point. As life evolved, it became more complex. This led to a need for specialization of two sexes, but this was all made by human beings seeking to make sense of the world. We can evolve our thinking as we gain more information and understanding. Women and men are not that different, its in our heads and culture that embeds us with certain attitudes about gender or sexual essentialism. The drive for sex and mating is very strong among man and woman, thus we maintain a symbiotic unified relationship as human beings rather than separate.

I'm not confusing you, who you are in the conversation is irrelevant on 4chan that's the point, only the idea matters, it's the topic of the discussion.

One post pointed out that men are vain and not accepting criticism. Another agreed and then said gurus take advantage of their weakness, because mediocre men will take a guru over the painful self reflection.

That is less true than the fact that the men are shunted into this pointless faggy bullshit, because they have no community, or infrastructure to find otherwise. And even in a drought of actionable help, they're still seeking water.

The men clearly seek out the wisdom, they are not at fault for being shackled inside a mediocre life if they're trying to leave it. It's not a case of the men being the problem, or the men and the communities they're in being the problem, it's the communities, or possibly the lack of them.

I'm not quite sure what this means. The communities are made up of these mediocre men, and these communities that aren't helpful are a byproduct of men who are mediocre seeking wisdom that doesn't involve any major life changes.

Adding onto you, mediocre men are unwilling to listen to certain inconvenient truths, as this other poster has been demonstrating. These communities will turn into hugbox echo-chambers where nothing truly "life-changing" as you say will be stated and circulated and implemented---because the root of the problem is very deep, very difficult to extract, and it turns out most guys apparently are too fragile and don's want to go anywhere near it, so they just focus on superficial matters of little efficacy.

clearly you're being silly. Saying that mediocre men ARE the community, and ignoring that it's a social infrastructure which is different from detached individuals is is very incorrect. I don't know if i really want to even get into this if you're going to make such a pointless argument. Townships, clubs, organizations, institutions, families, churches, these are communities, Timmy NoDick is just a confused guy who started reading Jordan Peterson because he can't get a supportive figure advising him on how to do better anywhere else. Certainly not from the women he hits on, which is what the whole discussion started from.

The difference here is significant. It determines how you solve the problem of the mediocre man. One view posits, that to solve the mediocre man, you should inspire people to criticise him and lampoon him MUCH more. The other posits that to solve the problem you need to give them encouragement, and camaraderie on top of the criticisms that are currently being laid at their feet.

Because I'm neither gassed up, nor a midwit, nor an incel.

This thread is about avoiding misogyny. My suggestion is to stop blaming women for your (a universal "you", not aimed specifically at you) problems with them. Yes, they may be judging you harshly, but if you look at yourself in the mirror, you may see how much of a point they have.
If you aren't so far gone yet, and you still want to be loved, you still have a chance:
>admit to your flaws
>and then begin addressing them, no holding back
Most incels are too egotistical and too lazy to do this, so they take the easy way out, which is not lifting a finger, burrowing themselves in women hate ideologies, and declaring that women are worthless scum.

Unlike them, I came to the conclusion I am not good enough to be loved yet, need to start working on myself, and refuse to point fingers at women (or even "society", for that matter) for my problems. I say what I say because it's the truth as far as I can tell, and it will be the road to my happiness. I put it out there so others hopefully don't fall for the misogyny trap and ruin their own chances; but if they don't heed it, that's another thing that's on them.

So yes, you do have it wrong. You want men to keep making excuses for themselves. How exactly this is supposed to actually help them, I don't know. Maybe you've given up on "help" in the sense of a tie to the hope of one day being desirable to women. It seems to me like you're just peddling cope. This "community" you're advocating for isn't coming any time soon, and when or if it does, as >>17495885 explains, it's not going to be as productive as you imagine it would.

You just sound like some edgy teenager saying this. Saying to do community service and go to church and offer advice and make male spaces that are approachable, is not an impossible feat at all. You're really just some fatalistic cynic or maybe simp. It sounds like the only tool in your box is just tearing things down or criticizing them, or doubting them, and at one point in the 20th century, that had a use. It's over applied now. We need to actually build things for others, that are remarkable and inspire them, and not spend all our time trying to humble them. And i resent this assertion, 1 because it's a lazy answer and making things worse, and 2 because you're a hypocrite and applying it to everyone but yourself.

I can relate to most of the replies here about women being shallow and boring, in my experience dating women while I lived in The States, as well as a few encounters in England, and France. But the frequencies with which I encounter these one-dimensional women in my home country, Denmark, is remarkably lower. I think it is safe to say, in a broad sense: that women in the former examples are products of deeply alienating societies. As a side note - my encounters with men in these countries were also quite disappointing, though we are discussing women here.

Generally, I find the level of abstraction of the self and reflections on life significantly higher in my home country, even in people without any formal education. Women here are truly independent and self-sufficient, and I find it extremely attractive, whereas, on the other hand, women abroad only seem interested in the image of independence, when in reality, they're just some thot.

Whenever I'm abroad I fall into these spouts of loneliness, where suddenly I can relate much more to you fags here on various 4chan boards. When I'm home, though, I remember that all you fuckers are just a bunch of incels, and I have a good life, in a good place, and browsing here becomes less frequent.

I bet you can find interesting ppl wherever you live, but it's your responsibility to go out and find them.

The thing is, you're full of bullshit for several reasons:

1) Plenty of us have tried, we have experience of trying to win people over and it usually ends one of two ways. Either we get friendzoned, or we get taken for a ride by some unhinged borderline headcase, only to realize months, years after the breakup that every facet of their persona was a carefully constructed lie to manipulate us.
Our real world experience only reinforces what MGTOW and blackpill proponents say.

2) We're in a catch 22. You tell us to "have sex" to get out of this headspace while at the same time pushing a narrative that we are such repulsive, bottom of the barrel losers that in your heart of hearts you wouldn't wish sex with us on any decent human, any human who could actually turn us around and challenge our beliefs. It's essentially the thot's equivalent of a boomer telling you to "get a job", when everywhere hiring wants you to have experience, but if you don't have experience to begin with, you can't get hired, and if you can't get hired, you can't build experience.

So kindly shut up and go fuck yourself.

These are all relative. The game is all about appearing the most desirable to women which necessarily means that some men are seen by women as undesirable. Women have a certain % of men they will always reject no matter how much personal development the less desirable men have gone through. The dating market behaves exactly like the job market. Men are employees and women employers and when a woman has too many men to deal with she starts imposing higher standards to thin out the herd.

You need to look at yourself in the mirror, from the perspective of someone else. You may be inclined to sympathize with yourself, make excuses, but you need to be stern in your judgment and self-assessment.

You have to honestly criticize yourself. You need to think about what is wrong with you, what things about you would *rightfully* turn others off. Are you still living at family's houses? Do you have no job or a terrible job? Do you have your own car? Are you physically fit? Are you spiteful and needy? Are you insecure and a Debbie Downer? Are you hygienic? Do you wear nice clothes? Are you selfish and self-absorbed? The list goes on and on.

Now you may not unjustifiably say that you don't really know the standards; there's so much to keep track of, and you hardly have a clue how other people think since you don't think that way at all; and even if you did research, there's so many traps and bad advice out there to steer you wrong. That's all fair. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. You need to remember exactly what giving up amounts to here: having few and unenthusiastic friends; having no girlfriend or women in your life; growing older and older almost entirely alone. Do you want that? What are you willing to do to avoid that fate? But if it's not that horrible to you, you can honestly say, then hey, maybe that life isn't for you. Content yourself with 4chan, anime, video games, and the shut-in life.

You need to be struck with the fear that what you have right now will be all you'll ever have. You have to realize it's not what you want at all. You have to decide that you're willing to do just about whatever it takes to change your life for the better. The very first step is figuring out where you're going wrong---the bare naked truth of it: if you can't do that, you're likely doomed to fail.

Then you get to work. You look for better sources of income. You stop wasting your time on pointless bullshit. You commit to hygeine. You save up money for a place, a car, clothes, gym membership, whatever you're missing; if you're ugly, maybe even plastic surgery. Over time, you'll start to see improvement, and actually feel your self-confidence and self-satisfaction grow. You won't be (rightfully) afraid to approach people because what reasons now will they have to reject you? And if they do, you move on to the next one, and keep on growing.

You have to have some faith and some hope. If you don't, you'll peter out or never get off the ground at all. You're not unfixable; you just haven't thought hard enough.

This is debateable but I still disagree. I think there's a baseline standard females have biologically ingrained, that if met would make the vast majority more than happy to "settle".

The problem is that modern men by and large fail to meet even that. They're not muscular, not financially and spiritually independent, not driven and motivated to succeed, not very dependable, not enjoyable and interesting to be around. From the point of view of a woman, the modern man has little to offer that she can't find in herself or other women; those effeminate men don't hold a candle to a Chad.

But the cold hard truth of the modern man being terribly unappealing and inadequate is too much to bear for the delusional, entitled generations of late. They want all the happiness with none of the effort. They don't want to take responsibility, preferring instead to be coddled. They want Easy mode. And this loser mentality, rightfully, is one of the things women despise the most. Such men are weak, and weak men are unattractive. If you can't get over your loser mentality, you deserve neither respect, nor love, nor happiness, from both women and men alike.

There is no baseline except for maybe muscular strength. Every other quality is relative.

I understand that. If I knew you better, I'd do you the solid and tell you outright why others may not like your personality; but I don't, so I can't.

I find personality typology psychology, like the Enneagram and MBTI (and honestly even astrology), to be useful for uncovering all aspects of one's personality---the stuff that stays hidden, that weighs you down and undermines and sabotages you. Keep looking; take your time if you need to.

Compare yourself to people you like (easy to do with fictional characters) and see why you aren't as desirable. I'm not saying copy them---I'm saying just be cognizant of how much of your current personality is really just borne from unaddressed mental illness and unhealthiness; not everything that's vicious about you right now is an inherent personality trait.

But deducing which is underdeveloped/immature, which is sickness, and which is the "real" you is a long, difficult, but ultimately fruitful journey you need to undertake.

That anon wasn't wrong, this would be the case. It already is the case that women only see the top 20% of men as above average (ie above a 5/10), and see actual average guys as a 1 or a 2 out of 10.

My girl had tattoos (I don't), has piercings (I don't), smokes weed (I don't), keeps her hair short, is generally left-leaning as far as she sees, is a college dropout, has had multiple sex partners, is queer ('m not), and said she doesn't want to be a wife nor have children. All of those are redflags according to /pol/.

But, she is intellectually curious, isn't stupid, isn't an ideologue and really is more rational than one would expect, is calm and soothing, is very generous and considerate, is clean and conscious of her health and well-being, isn't mentally ill (as far as I've concluded), is beautiful and really just about my type; despite all her "flaws", she made me very happy when I was around her, more than I realized.

But I took it for granted because I was ruled by the notion that she was worth less because she has so many "redflags", and that her wants and needs matter less than my own; I acted selfishly while giving too little in return, and she left. I didn't realize how badly I wanted her to stay with me until she was gone. She's not special according to /pol/'s and /r9k/'s checklist, but nobody else brought me as much enjoyment as she did, and I fear no one else will. I'm not very easy to please.

A woman isn't going to "hijack" your life if you end up liking her. You're going to want her to be in it more than you think right now. It's an addictive feeling, the happiness she can bring you. Mine isn't crazy really at all so I didn't have to deal with BPD bullshit; results may vary. The sex and physical intimacy is very important but it's not all there is to it. But you'll never find out if you don't try. If you're hetero-sexual, you have absolutely no reason not to try.

I'll reply anyway. I don't want you to be alone, but I have a hunch you want socializing to be something it's not: a tool for you to get happiness. There's some of that to be sure, but it's not all there is to it. Other people are not simply a means to an end (to be happy in this case). Associating with others is painful too. They can be uninterested in you, reject you, actively dislike you, not appreciate you as much as you appreciate them, or just fail to understand you.

Ultimately, you have to decide if you prefer the pain of becoming involved with others to the pain of being alone, but there's no painless path here. You have to keep that in mind. You can't actually minimize risk, this is like getting into a sport: it's gonna be rough going at first, possibly for a while too.

One, as someone who's not clinically retarded I believe you have a social responsibility to reproduce.

>ultimately you're letting feels get in the way of reals
Your feelings are real. No matter how much you rationalize things, your emotions are going to dictate how excited you are to get out of bed in the morning and how driven you are to be somebody.

At the end of your life you'll be looking back and asking yourself whether it was worth it, whether you made the right decisions, whether you can die without regret. Plenty of men did everything "right" and still ended up feeling like they missed out, because they didn't listen to their heart telling them what they really wanted.

It's easy to say "happiness" doesn't matter and isn't important., or that it's something else than people think. But every waking moment is spent in the present, feeling whatever you do, all the way down until the moment of your demise. You better figure out how you want to spend them and what state you want to inhabit while doing so, because that's what really constitutes a life---for the average person at least, ignoring "accomplishments" and such that will persist after you're dead but won't be much good to you then.
