Its kind of funny to me how men all want to be the prize now. Women used to be pursued, now men want to be the ones pursued. They want to be chased. They want the girls they find beautiful to think he’s out of their league. The old man trope of “I’m lucky she puts up with me” and he had to fight for his life to win her over just isnt worth the effort to these guys. You can blame their opinion that they think women arent worth it but it seems more like learned helplessness. Men were dying in war while getting Dear John letters. It cant possibly be worse now. I think its some hormone issue. Theyre literally willing to just roll over and die than put any effort in. Im trying to picture it.. the loser in a village of 5 women his generation who are all spoken for already. He has no prospects. No phone to harass women on twitter, no girls to groom on discord. Its bleak. Your village has a few other single guys and they’re going to pillage another village. You go fight with your tribe but you wont take home a war bride. The one you could get was already a mother. “Gross. Sloppy seconds and who knows what else? Id rather die alone.” Now you dont even have to risk dying to abduct women from somewhere else. You have millions of them on your phone. You just have to figure out the right string of words to get them out. “No” he says.. “they should be begging me for a chance. I refuse”
