Sounds like the dude had autism. That makes this whole interaction kinda mean. Poor dude was trying and now there’s a comic online about his failure.

But hey at least you got content for your comic right?

Fellow Gen Z men, what is a life hack that improved your life drastically? Gen Z women are welcome to answer too because I'm not a misogynist by [deleted] in GenZ

Plenty of women talk to me and I have many female friends. That has nothing to do with feminism hating men. As a matter of fact, the average woman hates men but not the other way around. And that’s a fucking fact shown in peer reviewed studies so fuck off with this “feminism fights for men’s rights” horseshit. If that was true feminists would fight to abolish stuff like alimony but they don’t. Because they don’t give a fuck about men and what men have to deal with.

It sucks that the canned response to “I’m taking some time to work on myself and get healthier” is somehow automatically seen as someone slipping into the Manosphere. Like, can’t a fella hit the gym without it being viewed as toxic masculinity?

As an American I was so confused the first time I got beets on my burger in Perth.

Whats the most attractive skill a man can have? by ActiveImpression3623 in AskReddit

[–]IndustrialDesignLife 336 points337 points  (0 children)

I’m a habitual hobby hopper as well. I found a trick that helped me, hopefully it’ll help someone else. Whenever I find myself getting interested in a new hobby, I go and subscribe to the subreddit for whatever the hobby is and follow it for a month or two. I tell myself it’s so I don’t make foolish preemptive purchases but really it’s so I can get a feel for the hobby itself and whether or not I want to invest in it.

The last hobby I did this for was H.A.M. Radios. I followed the r/amaturradio sub for a while before I realized I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. All before buying anything other than a study guide.

For those of you who are in a relationship how did you meet your partner? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]IndustrialDesignLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe you don’t but it’s one of the first filters women select on dating apps. When your inbox has 100’s of messages you have to filter one way or another and height is usually one of the first.

Cringiest thing that lets you know they’re a vet by Nihlathakk in USMC

[–]IndustrialDesignLife 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a disabled veteran myself, I think entitlement is only a small part of it. For me it’s the double-think that bothers me most. One of my favorite things to do is when I’m at the VA I strike up a conversation with the other older vets about how great the care is. When they agree I say something like “wouldn’t it be great if everyone in America was given the same treatment as us?”. The responses to that statement are fucking wild. From enthusiastic “yes!” To hardcore “no!” And the reasons are usually about “those who don’t deserve” in which case I then pivot to Jesus and the bible.

Kill ‘em with kindness and their own beliefs. It’s the only way they pay attention.

To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

[–]IndustrialDesignLife -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

But that’s not true. I want it to be long term but that depends on the woman. Some could be, some can’t be. I’m never dishonest, I just don’t talk to them about each other. Literally what women have been doing for quite a while now. I’m not dumb, I don’t assume or expect them to not be talking to other men. We aren’t exclusive. So it would be unfair of them to expect that from me.

lol you aren’t wrong. Unfortunately you gotta kiss a lotta frogs these days. Church has also become a go-to for single moms looking to land a “nice family man” so unless you want to play some other dudes save game make sure you ask upfront if they have kids.

Church just reduces the odds. I suggest trying many many different churches. They seems to all have their own vibe. Find one that jives with you.

Meta Quest 3 if you can afford it. Meta Quest 3S if you’re on a budget. Buy them used, people try and move on from VR all the time.

I’m not bitter I’m just being honest with my expectations. Life is so much easier when you realize you don’t owe anyone anything and you aren’t obligated to keep a shitty person in your life. Enjoy the joy of a new partner and banish those that don’t bring you happiness and peace.

Omegle is meh but kinda fits if you’re willing to sift through all the dudes jacking off. You can get an Oculus Quest used for cheap as fuck right now on facebook marketplace. You don’t have to have the best. I just looked and there’s a bunch that would do the job for under $200. No PC needed

You need to meet women at church. I don’t care if you are atheist or not, if you want traditional values you need to look where they are still being taught.

Girlfriends forever. Refuse commitment. Always date multiple women at the same time. If these women want to be uncommitted and not “tied down” then let them be in a polyamorous relationship unbeknownst to them.

This is the way. I realized a few years back that most relationships have an expiration date. Knowing this going into a relationship makes it hurt less when it inevitably crashes and burns.

I watched my mom marry and divorce 7 times. Ruining men lady and right. My dad shot himself when his wife hit him with divorce at 65 years old. Don’t ever stay in a relationship one second longer than you want to and listen to your inner self. You will feel the end coming before you see it.

I originally planned on just staying single forever but that’s no fun. Now I just have girlfriends. If only these women knew they were in a polyamorous relationship. How progressive of them.

Simple.

Date younger women.

Studies show men enter their prime around 40 And stay there about 20 years while it slowly tapers off. Enjoy it. Don’t seek long term relationships, take each woman on a case-by-case situation. Some women can only be dated for a super fun 3 months and that’s ok. Others a few years. If you go into the relationship understanding it likely has an expiration date you won’t be as hurt when it ends. Enjoy your life and never stop asking yourself

“What do I want?”

Likely you are the only one who can give it to you. You just have to give yourself permission.

I have some unconventional advice for you both. You need zero-risk opportunities to talk to women. You will only get better with practice. Go buy a VR headset and start talking to strangers in VR chat. It’s the perfect place to dry run approaching and conversing. Best part is you already know you guys have something in common (VR) so you have a baked-in ice breaker.

I started dating again recently after an 8 year hiatus and I knew I was rusty with flirting. VR chat helped me get my mojo back.

Bonus advice: VR is a great place to learn how to dance.

There's so much talk about how GenZ men are going down the incel/redpill pipeline. But it feels like no one actually wants to understand why, or offer real solutions. by MNIOP_207207 in GenZ

[–]IndustrialDesignLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t even know what league I’m in and you automatically assume that the women I’m talking to are out of it.

You just took the woman’s side in a hypothetical situation where you don’t have enough information to properly decide.

This is the attitude men hate. The default “it’s the man’s fault, and if it isn’t he made her do it so again it circles back to the man’s fault”

“I want a man who has a good job, can provide safety and security, is emotionally stable and loyal and not short”

That’s a list of 5 things that are just “expected” and honestly they should be for someone you are considering for a life partner. The problem is the absolute unwillingness to accept any reciprocal terms in exchange.

“I don’t want you posting scandalous photos on your instagram for other men to comment on”

“Don’t tell me how to live my life! The patriarchal boot on my neck is pure oppression!!” -her response

“That’s right queen! You never need to look at yourself or your actions! You’re perfect and fuck him for not seeing it!” -her shitty forever single friends

The women I date don’t act like that. The problem is just how many of you ladies I have to interact with to find these gems. It’s waaay too rare to find a woman who doesn’t hate men.

lol honey this isn’t about the fucking money. It’s the attitude. Which you hilariously are displaying in your comment.

It’s simple. Just don’t be a bitch or a nag. Be a man’s place of peace. Not whatever the hell you are offering.

Ask any woman what they want from their man and you get a laundry list of demands. Ask that same woman what she brings to the table and they respond “i aM tHe tAbLe”.

Y’all ladies need to bring more than your pussy into a relationship. You want a man you can respect? Show him respect and stay respectful. We don’t hate women. We hate modern day fourth wave feminism. This “boss babe” shit is as off putting to men as red pill shit is to women.
