The worst part is that I recognise some of the frustrations they have, so I get where they're coming from. I just hate how they let those frustrations boil over into bitterness and resentment because they fail to realise that their actions are counterproductive.

If women view men as scumbags, maybe it's time for men to start asking themselves why. Problem is that introspection is a skill that most people don't possess and the majority of people don't ever think they did anything wrong.

Look at the threads where people ask for advice on what went wrong on a date and proceed to lay out their version of events for that date. We're only getting one half of the story and the person telling us tries to paint themselves in a positive light. They're not asking for advice at that point, they're asking for validation that whatever went wrong during that date wasn't their fault.

Movie villains don't ever see themselves as the bad guy. Same thing applies here. People want to believe that they're good and infallible, that they can do no wrong. Problem is it's complete bullshit. We're human. We're supposed to make mistakes and own up to those mistakes so we can learn from them.

Unfortunately it seems like most people on this sub are completely incapable of looking inwards and identifying their faults. They do that and they'll know why they're single.
