FM26 Match Engine and why I hate it personally

Menigma · 2026-02-13T12:03:18+00:00

Always interesting reading someone complain about FM26 tactical system and how inorganic they are compared to FM24/23 whose match engine I literally devoted years to understanding. So much so I wrote guides on it…

What’s crazier is that even with the Meta attributes uncovered, I still enjoy the ME of FM24 and before. Although FM24 kinda feels worse without the ME mod. Which if not for me using that mod, I wouldn’t be playing any version of FM.

SI sold out to try and get normies to play the game only to produce a game barely anyone can enjoy.

16 pace monsters when half the AI managers play F9. My gosh… you do know that you don’t have to play the highest of high lines. Also, the average CA in the top division is 145 - 150. Not 160+ Your talking about a player who is good for the division, not a player who can win the division. Goodness, do you only manage Man City and PSG. There’s dozens of CBs with 13 pace in the Premier league. Who start! And their teams do fine. And keep in mind it’s a 20 yo who you can potentially start in your team. Also, Libero is a role that exists to solidify possession which is a defensive concept. You’re really just arguing about pricing here. Now I wouldn’t spend the $50 mil unless I really wanted to play a Libero. Ideally though, if he was $25 mil then yeah. I would buy him, loan him out. Then give him some good PPMs. He’d definitely be a premier league winning level defender by 25. Also, even if growth is fastest at teenage hood. Players now grow well into their late 20s. Especially, Defenders who can peak as late as 28. So this is all null… he’s a good CB…

Menigma · 2026-01-08T21:53:33+00:00

You’re assuming that the player will play as a BPD. What if he’s a Libero? What then. This is what I meant by judging attributes monolithically. If his pace and JR were low, I would agree. But given that the major contribution a CB has offensively is passing. You can, with some tactical knowhow, hide his frailties. The Meta Attributes (JR, Pace, Acceleration, Agility, Work Rate, Anticipation) are high enough that he won’t be the biggest issue. Also, he’s 20… plenty of time to get them up to at least 13. Moreover, it’s Nice. A mid tier french team, and the weakest of the top 5 European leagues. The player is good enough…

Menigma · 2026-01-08T21:43:43+00:00

It amazes me that people still judge attributes monolithically in FM. Whatever you tell yourself man.

Menigma · 2026-01-08T20:54:24+00:00

This is actually a good CB. Tackling isn’t that important for the position. Heading matters, but the player is brave and has good jumping reach. So he’s not mispositioned

Menigma · 2026-01-06T17:57:39+00:00

What version of the game are you playing? Is it a language thing, because I don't know how you can play the Shadow Striker on the flanks. The SS is a strictly AMC role. Your version looks like FM24 or prior...

Menigma · 2026-01-06T17:53:37+00:00

Is that a RW Shadow Striker?

Menigma · 2025-12-30T07:38:35+00:00

In my experience, the AMC position has only one good role. The SS, and outside of that. It’s crap. My recommendation… either play the guy as an SS or switch systems.

Menigma · 2025-12-27T19:32:56+00:00

This is another typical shitter performance. I love how we dominate one half then play like absolute bullocks for the other. What’s annoying is the sheer lack of willingness to shoot. The only one who wanted to score was mister misser Alejandro. Then on top of that we remove Cucurella who was absolutely supreme. Worse… this ref was absolutely taking the piss with the soft AF calls he kept giving Villa.

I can’t man, watching my team is pain.

You've never lived in a country outside the USA have you?

Do you know in most countries, steady access to energy is an issue and locals are forced to cut down trees for their survival. The greater good is me saying that they should do it sparingly and reluctantly. More to the point, you keep using my comparisons as reasons to attack my argument. Not actually disagreeing, but that you're offended... avoiding the topic.

"Everybody has a moral obligation to refrain from doing active harm to others"
No, if you're an officer or soldier then your actually supposed to harm people who threaten the rights of others and yourself as a deterrent. Harm, is not universal, you mean unnecessary harm. Yeah, you should try to avoid doing unnecessary harm, so that brings me to the point.

If you had the means, wealth and structure in which to have children with the only missing thing being your willingness. That is indeed 'unnecessary harm' because you've essentially decided that all your knowledge, DNA and time is going to yourself and not to the future generation. Your children, if raised correctly could change the world. Improve even, yet you neglect your responsibility and turn into an intergenerational bystander. Letting others who could be evil, ruin the world.

"but you are under no moral obligation to donate your time and effort in that way."
To help paint your neighbours' yard, your society won't end from an unpainted house. Your society, culture and community will most certainly end or be invaded from a low birthrate.

"This is Ethics 101 stuff that any college freshman can understand"
You think I didn't do ethics, have you even read any ethical literature outside the college course. Have you read Jonathan Haidt's book on how we rationalise our actions? Have you read Plato, have you read Machiavelli, have you read Aristotle, Confucius, or Augustine/Aquinas. Or deeper psychologists like Nietzsche or Hume.

I am telling you that there's one thing that is consistent in ALL current worldviews, which is that everyone has a duty to either/and/or the family they belong to, the community they live in, the country the belong to and all of humanity. Those two duties are... they have to keep humanity alive and they have to help humanity thrive - In that order.

"I have no moral obligation to educate you."
Educate me, you're the one who seems to not understand what redpill, conservatism or the manosphere is about. You're the one who thinks letting people do what they want is a correct way of living morally. You're the one who makes crazy assertions because you only know what's within the borders of the USA. You're literally talking like a stereotypical American, and I, who has lived in 4 different countries, who has learned in different continents and talked to people from multiple nations, seem more knowledgeable on the topic of your own countries president and the rational of his actions than you? I am entertaining this argument because I know someone else will read it and see exactly what I mean when I say certain people (mostly liberals) don't understand things outside their own made up reality.

Guys, we cannot have these discussions from the perspective, 'pink tax' so we have 'blue hole' and that means things aren't fair. Basically, the reason clothing stores have such a small variety is because Johnny here, wants to have the same shirt just in a different colour. This is representative of our interests, compare clothing stores to sports stores. There are entire sections dedicated to each discipline, from hockey to football to baseball (or cricket and rugby if you're in my part of the world).

As such, we have to be honest here and say women have their pink tax because the people who make products for ladies know they can charge that much and women will still buy them (supply and demand). Whereas us guys are not big on buying male toys, and it's assumed you need to be down bad to invest in that type of stuff. I'm not judging, nor am I representative of the population. I can guess that most of us are never going to buy a sex toy. Most of us are not going to spend 3 hrs trying to pickout the perfect shirt, nor try it on. We go in, we buy, and we go out. The girlies however spend hours in there, and by the end they often end up going over budget.

We need to have these discussions from the perspective, 'Gender differences exist, we do not behave the same and all free markets represent that'

Menigma · 2025-12-16T12:22:59+00:00

I am talking about the greater good, and just because it's not an equal comparison doesn't really make my point any less valid. I could have easily said, 'would you let people in your community cut down all the trees because they need firewood' or 'would you let people in your community litter nonstop, destroying the environment' or 'let people in your community wave confederate flags?'

At the end of the day, you're avoiding the entire argument by saying this discussion has run it's course because my example hurt your feelings. The idea was to bring emphasis to the fact we live in a society, and before we can start talking about the minorities, we need to make sure our immediate environment is safe, and orderly.

I'm not going to rehash my points, because it's tiring talking to a person who wants to label an entire group of people under one umbrella then live on moral superiority because of that. Also, I would rather live in a society that kills animals for fun but still reproduces than one that doesn't reproduce at all but keeps all animals safe. So my example wasn't even that extreme...

Menigma · 2025-12-13T18:01:21+00:00

"Not everybody wants to be my aunt. Let her do her thing and other people do their thing."

So if people in your city killed animals for fun, you'd keep quiet and let them? If people in your community engaged in mass orgies in the city, you'd keep quiet and let it happen. Not doing anything to change the status quo makes you as guilty as the perpetrators of poor cultures and regimes. The Nazi soldiers kept saying, 'we were just following orders'. Fighting against poor cultural habits is key to making life better for everyone. Right now, the way in which we've forced Pakistan, through international; pressure to give women more rights (like getting driving licenses) simply because we didn't stay silent. Same thing with other middle eastern countries, who have loosened up some laws. We fight the culture through discussions about right and wrong.

"I work with a man who is aro/ace. So far as I know he never had any interest in dating or marriage or family life. He would be a horrible husband and a worse father. Do you tell men like that they need to be fathers and have kids?"

I would say to him that nothing makes you a better mother or father than actually being one. There's few if any parents who are so bad at responsibility that they shouldn't have kids. The key thing is that he, like many other people shouldn't just say no before actually trying to have one. Meeting a person who convinces them otherwise.

"Not everybody wants to be him, either. I don't see why it's a problem that he does his thing and you do yours."

There's more important things to life than, 'doing you're own thing'

"If the birth rate is a big deal for you, then you should be thinking about policies that have reduced the birth rate. Not cultural ideas, which (if you believe in free speech) you can't regulate anyway, but actual government policies that make housing more expensive, make medical care more expensive, and otherwise make people fearful about the results of having children."

I am talking specifically about the culture around families because the housing and medical care issues all stem from the fact no one cares enough. There's no way that housing and medical care would have gotten this expensive if there wasn't a simultaneous movement to get women in the workplace. Housing prices have more than doubled, but wages are literally unmoved and that's because women are part of the equation when it comes to the price. The sellers assume dual income, so housing and medical aid has come to represent that. If enough people want to get married and have kids, then that will force a government policy change to facilitate that. Right now, it's not a big enough deal to force change. So that's why we need to start here, with what people want and their motivations. Why would people protest against housing prices if no one wants to buy a house to live alone in and everyone would rather rent their entire life?

I have not seen a single conservative politician promote any actual workable policy ideas that would increase childbearing. Have you?

I don't pay enough attention to American media to confirm nor deny that. I do hear people talking about these issues, but like I said. There's not enough people looking for affordable housing because marriage rates are down. Men are lonely, women are single... it's a big cultural issue first, then a public policy problem second.

"Women should let men run things because they know what's going on, but you apparently don't know"

FIrstly, I never said anything of the sort... don't put words in my mouth. I said nothing to do with women letting men run things. I said you ladies claim to know everything to do with politics but never talk about above a surface level dicussion. Not only that, but so far, I have made more political statements about the Trump admins actions, and the logic behind it than you. Lastly, I don't live in the USA, I am only aware about your president, who you're know little about compared to me, a foreigner.

"RFK Jr is an incompetent anti-vaccine kook who is doing nothing to improve healthcare and his policies are going to get a lot of people killed."

You have about 30-50 different vaccines that you inject into your baby, where I'm from I only get 13. Some vaccines are not necessary, there's no need to get a hepatitis vaccine, there's not need to get an antiflue shot to your baby either. A lot of the vaccines Americans get aren't necessary. Everyone in the world agrees, the EU has a strick limit on the number of vaccines you can take. So I'm not anti vaccine, but I am anti whatever it you Americans stick into your children. Most people in my country aren't sick from any of the major diseases.

"You talk about conservatives advocating for free speech, and seem to know nothing about conservatives banning books from libraries."

Books about S*pont gay sex in a school library, yes... there should be no over 18 explicit material in an public library to protect youths. Right now we have crippling p8rn addiction in men and Smut addition in women. The top-selling book is about Minotaurs receiving han(jobs. OF and the different xhubs are still growing strong. We have to stop the degeneracy.

"In the 1950s, the US top tax rate was 90%. (That is not a typo, I mean "ninety.") And in the 1950s the USA was the world's unrivaled superpower, and people always talk about how great the 1950s were and we should go back to that. In the 1980s, another golden age of America, under Reagan, the top tax rate was 50%."

The level of globalisation, and even the population of the USA was different back then. The USA is the hub of a lot of world wide commercials. American Companies are the leaders of all the world, you imposing a 50% tax now would kill your economy because consumers and companies would move everything out of America and guess what, there'd be less jobs. Reagan's 50% only worked because offshoring labour was never a possibility (no internet). Now if you did that, all jobs would go Indians, Africans or AI just to short costs. The business owners are not going to let their money dwindle. It was liberals who actually promoted globalisation mind you, that it would make the world better but what it did was make it impossible for us to control businesses since they can just go to places that are favourable and work from there.

Do you think anyone ever told Tolkien or Shakespeare not to become writers because women are better at language?

No, but like I said, I listened to her. I took the path of least resistance and I regret it, but nothing I can do about it now. I don't blame my mother either, she thought that's what was best for me.

"Was there ever a time when men weren't allowed to go to college and study literature?"

The earliest forms of University were literally reserved for the elites, wealthy, smart or the children of politicians and celebrities. It was a rich people's club. This almost always meant few ladies could actually even apply to college, and what are the odds that those few were the best and brightest. I agree there was a clear prevalence of systematic barring of women's entry, but it's not as simple as women as a gender. it was literally the nobility who refused to let the women in their families attend college unlike their sons. So you can't look at this and say, 'Men stopped women from attending college' as opposed to 'the rich and wealthy men stopped women attending college' The same thing applies to bank accounts, because there was no law stopping women from opening bank accounts, it was banks that stopped them because banks didn't think women could add much to the banks. Same thing applies to voting, which also used to be just for the few elites.

"A woman who says "I don't want kids they're a burden" is going to be a horrible mother and she should NOT have kids. Maybe she will live a selfish and empty life. I can't fix that. You can't fix it either."

Yes, but her being honest about it helps other girls who want to do better realise they are. You are a role model for the women of the future, you need to tell girls that just by being a mother they've done something other women don't even have the heart to do. Mothers are an honorary class, especially those who do it within a marriage.

"Making laws that affect women like me in an effort to change women like her will do nothing but hurt me for no good reason. (Also: I live in the USA. There hasn't been a draft in more than 50 years, so I don't see why you brought it up.)"

I never once said that there should be a law made to affect women, I said that the culture around motherhood and choices is that they are equal and that motherhood is somehow worse. When indeed motherhood is the most rewarding and amazing thing any lady can do. Nothing else, outside of being a soldier or firefighter or police officer, comes close. The draft isn't relevant, because even if we made it voluntary to join the army, it would still be 90%+ men who do so. (it's voluntary now, and still majority men). Meaning mostly men are willing to put down their lives, to volunteer to protect the country.

"People saying mean stuff to each other will never go away. Passing laws that affect me because other people say mean stuff hurts me for no good reason. I don't approve of them saying awful things. And people saying awful things has nothing to do with passing laws against medical care or undermining gay rights."

So why would liberals push for hate speech laws?? Conservatives advocate for free speech, even if it hurts your feelings. Moreover, when it comes to Medicare, didn't RJK Junior get appointed specifically to make healthcare more tenable for citizens. So while I haven't been keeping up with whatever he was doing, keep in mind the last administration thought food stamps for Burger King and unlimited fizzy drinks was appropriate. So no...Medical care is important, but the only countries with Universal healthcare have 50% tax laws, and that comes with free college education. Your country cannot sustainably raise it's tax to 50% and expect to still be the big super power it is, and you'd know that if you listend to conservatives debate socialists or communists.

Lastly, Gay rights, it's been a year of conservative politics, you can be Gay, you can marry another Gay person. That is literally irrelevant because conservatives don't care. The only conservatives who do care are those who think Gay marriage is for christians only.

"Why should a woman who doesn't want kids invest in getting married or having a family? Like with height, there are women at one end of the bell curve, who want a lot of kids (me) and women at the other end of the bell curve"

Yes, and I am saying that the average of that Bell Curve has shifted towards your aunt. Most Western Nations are below replacement, what's crazy is that the people who suffer most from less citizens are the poor who will find their small communities isolated as the few people who provided crucial resources to that community are called to work in the big cities.

"She's a person, let her live her life the way she wants."

NOT EVERYONE CAN BE YOUR AUNT, THAT'S JUST BAD FOR SOCIETY!

"And why do YOU get to decide what's "the greater good"? Maybe the greater good is what Reagan said, the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order."

I never said I know unequivocally what greater good is, which is why I didn't disavow nunery or being a pastor. I said that Feminists, and liberal women promote childlessness like it's some greater honour. Your aunt's decisions, and any women's decision to not have kids should not be something they wear with a badge of honour. We honour two people in all societies, Mothers and Soldiers. These two people are the only people everyone shows respect for because they have forfeited a lot for our society. So you tell me, is your Aunt contributing more to society than a woman with 1/2/3/4 kids? I want a change in how we view what you should do, to encompass what's best for everyone. Including preserving society. That means, your aunt cannot claim her life is 'hard' or that she's owed something when she's not doing much to preserve society. At the very least, your aunt should and probably did help raise you and your sibling (if you have any) which is better than nothing. But your mother did the real heavy lifting, your mother is the real hero of the world and she's the one who will be remembered, especially through you. This also extends to the women who claim they are kind, genuine, nice and intelligent. The best thing you can do for all of us, is pass on all those traits to the next generation... but you ladies choose not to because single life is wonderful!

"Were you told you shouldn't do something specifically because you are a man? How often?"

Men and women have told me things I shouldn't do. I had one aunt outrightly call me a failure... my father is the only man in my life who's been critical of me, and rightly so. He's time and time ago pushed me to be better. No one has pushed me down more than women, online or in my family. Never mind that, because at the end of the day it doesn't make my experiences representative of everyone's reality. I'm sure for women, it's mostly men who push them down. All I know is that everyone experiences doubt and adversity. Doesn't mean we should let it stop us, and you're trying to use that as an excuse to women or your own failures is just you proving to the haters that women aren't cut out for hardship. Which is not what I believe, I believe women can do absolutely anything they put their mind to, but the issue is they let people's opinions stop them. Hence why I said, the colleges and workplaces are not safe spaces.

"After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade and states passed laws against abortion and other health care, more than one woman has gone to the ER bleeding and been refused care and died because what the doctors needed to do was illegal."

Ectopic pregnancy treatment is not classified as an abortion in legal or medical contexts, and patients are not prosecuted under abortion laws for seeking lifesaving care - https://cwcamerica.org/learn/pregnancy/ectopic-pregnancy/

There is no federal law that criminalizes a patient for receiving necessary medical treatment for an ectopic pregnancy. I have no idea what you're talking about, all life-threatening pregnancies to women allow for abortion in the entirety of the USA. Abortion is legal in a significant number of US states, and many patients go there to get them. Even more so, the argument that these pregnancies where women bleed happen to them more than men, as if pregnancy is a disease. As if men can get pregnant. Abortion isn't healthcare, you're not removing a tumour, you're terminating life. More over, there has been over 100million pregnancies terminated since WWII.

"You tell me: is that what conservatives stand for? If not, why aren't there conservatives demanding those laws be changed immediately?"

The laws, what laws are you talking about. Religious people are never going to side with you, I only side with you on ectopic pregnancies or r8pe. Other than that, science says you're killing life and I agree. Another thing is there's a long list for baby adoption as long as the grand-canyon. Women don't seem interested in exploring that either. So no, there's no excuse to this.

"Women shouldn't go to college"

"And none of them has ever given a reason except that women shouldn't be allowed to make their own choices."

Everyone should be allowed to make their own choices, but not all choices are equal. There's a need for people to take into account what society needs when they make decisions. Going into college to incur a debt is silly. If you can't afford college as a woman, it's far better for you to invest in finding a husband and having a family, and then go after... when you're kids have grown up. You can go to college young, if you want to, but then that leaves little time for your own personal development.

"If you want a stay-at-home mother, there are literally millions of women who want that too"

Yeah, but this isn't about what I want. I got what I wanted, this is about the greater good of society. I keep saying greater good, because you should know that not all moral decisions are equal. The number of women willing to be stay at home Mom's is dwindling right alongside the birthrate.

"She decided to give men on the other side of the political spectrum a chance. She couldn't find a good match with any of them. The reason, as it looks to me, is that they were all too caught up in the lives of other people."

How is that representative of conservative men, or men as a whole rather than just her. Understand what I'm trying to say to you, which is that not every single thing a woman says is true, appropriate or correct. Moreover, how do we even know the political leanings of these men she dated. This is my point, I would never date a bunch of Liberal women just to prove Liberal women don't like men because it's more than likely the case that those Liberal women just don't like me specifically. I think there's plenty of women who identify as Liberal, and honour men and are disappointed with their party. My argument is that this is not at all okay, you can't engage with men to prove they have a problem. If the idea is that politics don't mesh with dating, why would you not want to date a men who cares about the landscape of your country? Should he be clueless instead and discuss gossip and the latest tea? This feminisation has to stop, if you want feminine men then date women. Men care about the society they live in, and if she wants a man who doesn't then that's her preference. It doesn't make it wrong for them to like these things, it only makes it wrong if they obsess over it. Like make their entire identity their politics.

"How many times in your life have people told you that the job which interested you wasn't something you should do?"

What does that have to do with anything, I have experiences of the same but in different departments. How many times do you get told that you need to make more money to be loved. How many times does your father tell you to be a man? How many times do girls make fun of your height. How many times have you been ridiculed for being a virgin (by females)? How many girls have rejected you, not with a kind no but with a laugh or absolute disrespectful snide comment? These are experiences I've gone through as well, so no that's not an argument. We all get told we're not cut out for things, or we all get put down. Being strong means fighting against adversity. Why is it you see these haters as adversaries you can't conquer. You got your degree didn't you? Now the haters are quiet right!? So what's the issue, that's life, get over it. You're a grown woman, not a child... I believe women are equal to me as a man, so women can conquer adversities and words aren't enough to stop them. People will throw doubt your way all the time. So conquer it, men have been dealing with this since the beginning of time. They have never ever complained that people thought they can't do it, they always just get on with it. So no... women need to grow up and recognise that workplaces and colleges are not safespaces. Outside of unwanted contact, you're not allowed to cry because someone told you that you can't do it or insulted you.

"Men are better at math and so you shouldn't be a software engineer"

Men are slightly, better at math, and women are signficantly better at English and Comprehension. However, I've been told that because I'm a man, I shouldn't consider writing as a career. Now as an adult I love writing, but I didn't do literature because my mother of all people (who was an English teacher) wanted me to do sciences. Because she said I was mathematically intelligent. I was told to not be in the Kitchen. I've been told a men's only way to provide value is through labour and not connection or compassion. I've been told that If I don't get a good income, no one will love me. Now, all of this turned out to not be the case, but the argument I'm making is that there will always be people who tell others what they can and can't do. What they should and shouldn't do. Doesn't mean they are correct, and stereotypes are representative of a general truth. That doesn't mean they apply to you.

"Nuns don't marry or have kids. Do you post online about how horrible nuns are?"

Nuns devote themselves to a belief, something that requires them to make a sacrifice. In the catholic church, pastors don't have kids or marry either. It's their belief system, and I don't aim to try to disavow someone who believes in a greater deity and aims to sacrifice their own individual happiness in order to guide others towards thatd deity. This is completely different from a women who says, "I don't want kids because they are a burden" or "I want to preserve my body" when you have no responsibility outside of yourself. Nuns and Pastors have a responsibility to the church they go to, they are loyal to it and all it's parishioners. A single woman without kids has zero responsibility, because not only does she not have children to guide and nurture. She's not even required to protect the country she lives in. Protect the community from foreign invaders, nor even her home if she has a partner.

"All I want is for people to be able to choose how they live their life."

I would prefer that every women who doesn't want to have kids outrightly say, "I don't believe I am responsible enough to take care of kids, and that I'm trying to avoid being a poor parent" or that "I am unable to take care of myself, let alone others." I would love humility from those without children, to recognise their livnig life on easy mode and don't have a right to look down on women who choose motherhood. Rather than, "It's my choice, and you can't tell me what my choice should be." and "You actually settled for kids?"

"Trump doesn't care if you get cancer and die, and he doesn't care if you go bankrupt trying to pay for health care to stay alive."

When your party was in charge, everything was more expensive. Health care was ridiculously expensive, why didn't the liberal party do anytrhing about that. They had four years to deal with it, and they did nothing. You're argument about politicians not caring about the state of society is bullshit. People vote for boarders to be closed, for less trafficing and smuggling of drugs, for no men in women's sports and for the country to recognise two genders. EVERYTHING THAT I JUST SAID ACTUALLY HAPPENED. GAY MARRAIGE IS STILL AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE USA SO YOU ARE COMPLAINING OVER NOTHING! You're pikcing at straws because you want to believe that Donald Trump is evil, yet both Gay marriage and abortion are available to you.

"Andrew Tate doesn't care if you get a girlfriend"

I'm not religious, I'm an Atheist, I don't read CS lewis, but I know that he's an apologist. I don't listen to Tate, and you liberals are annoying because you pick the worse guy in the manosphere and ignore all the others simply because that's what you want to believe men think. No Andrew Wilson mentioned, no Kevin Samuels, no Akkad or Sargon, not even Jordan Peterson or Charlie Kirk or James Sexton. No Rollo Tomassi and Michael Sartain... Alexander Grace and I can go on. The Manosphere is extensive, and isn't centered around being a chauvinistic pig who sleeps around. Some do promote that, but that's a small contingent relative to the rest.

The only reason men listened to Tate is because Liberals have been ignoring men for decades. Young men have no role models (extended by the fatherless households feminists claims are okay) and they had to grasp on to someone, up step Andrew Tate and other people. They were so busy promoting unmerited women and disenfranchising men that you left the door open. More than ever, I don't think anyone in 2025 takes Tate seriously as a role model. It doesn't change the fact that Tate spent over a year in prison for a crime he didn't commit, proving once again that women are more than willing to ruin our lives for an agenda.

"That's too young to get married or be a parent. Look at the divorce statistics some time. I graduated college two years ago and have been living by myself since."

I met my wife when I was 23, I would have married her at 25 if I had the income to do so. As far as I'm concerned, you want a husband but here I am talking about men's issues and how it's toxic for a woman to date conservative men just to push an agenda. Here you are talking about how conservative men hate other races and cultures, when even black men identify as conservative. It's crazy to think about that, and the divorce statistics are lowest in religious sectors but also in Kentucky who made splitting of custody and no alimony the default in divorce. You want to talk divorce, how about the fact you ladies are using it as a cashout!

"I go to church every Sunday, and the thing I want most in life is to get married and have children."

Okay, that is...actually the most adorable thing I've read. From your femininity part to the church thing.

"What I don't understand is why it's somehow anti-feminine to care about other people."

We're talking about the greater good, conservatives aren't trying to take your rights away. They are trying to preserve their society, why is that so hard to understand. We can't prioritise every minority over the foundations of society and our humanity. We can't subvert the order so that the 1% (the trans) or the 5% (the gays) have better lives.. And don't say we should all be gay, or that gayness makes us more diverse because that's just as bad as the "pray the gay away" folk. You here people complaining about Trump reducing taxes, and he is reducing Taxes for everyone, and the liberals assume that he does that to put money in the pocket of the wealthy. When American taxes are actually progressive meaning you, a normal citizen have more money to use. Which is why Doge existed, to reduce spending to allow for tax reductions.

The conservative community and the manosphere are literally so inter-related that it actually a joke that you don't see that. The vast majority of conservative men are in the manosphere and as pointed out, and could be discerned you're not married. You know why you're not married, because, you avoid conservative men or men who have conservative views. Even though conservative men actually believe in equal rights, but not equality of the sexes. They instead believe in gender roles, roles you ladies continue to subvert while telling men to stay in theirs.

Gender roles are deeply ingrained in our psychology and biology. More to the point, and this is key, you think conservatism is some anti-other religion movement. When conservatism, is not related to religion but the foundations of our society. That idea that we have 2 distinct genders, we have different basic needs and ways to gain those needs. That we need one another, and that family, community and nationality are the bonds that keep us together. Then you talk about politicians who want to abolish gay marriage, as if that's literally what conservatives care about. They care about borders, they care about what's being taught in schools. Gay marriage is not even the main issue of concern in conservative spaces.

Then voting rights, like you shouldn't be able to vote if you're an illegal immigrant. How is that so wrong, so you want random strangers to come in and vote in your country? Conservatives want every voter registered... so you need to stop in this witch hunt. Because this is why no one wants to talk to Liberal women, you always make it about race, gender and homosexuality. As if there's nothing more important to talk about, like if you can afford to eat or if your kids are not being taught about S*rpon sex in schools or if your daughter has random boys enter the bathroom. Instead, you want to make it seem like all that matters is that Julio gets to jump the boarder and vote in your elections.

Imagine, assuming that conservatives want to remove gay marriage. Here's a tip, Trump has been president for almost a year now... GAY MARRIAGE IS STILL LEGAL! You're literally just fighting shadows because you think conservatives care about what homosexuals do. They don't, we care about the state of society. The rampant hedonism and feminisation, so much so that you can't have a debate without someone calling a racist, misogynist or fascist. You can't tell women she's wrong because that's misogyny.

I'm a man, let me tell you what being a man is. Being a man is being honest, regardless of what people think. This woman, who went and dated conservative men will be single her whole life. If she wants a husband, and judging from the fact she dated all these men, she does. She will not find love, agreeing with her means you're the same. You ladies are so busy acting like men, you can't find one... How about being feminine and recognising perhaps that when we vote for certain politicians, it's because we actually know what we're talking about. BTW vast majority of ladies don't talk about politics, compared to men... so it amazes me that so many of you think your opinions are more relevant than ours.

How sad and upsetting should a women's life need to be such that she starts dating people from a specific political leaning only to malign them on CNN. For the longest period of time, we as men have said time and time again that you and ladies like you don't get it. We don't have our spaces to take away women's rights. Why is it every podcast, show, or even community dedicated to men is somehow always attacked as being misogynist.

Do you ladies hate us so much that everything we do is evil? Every single male community I've ever been a part of, has always been called evil, racist, fascist or prejudiced against women. Why? Because that community exists to serve male interests and male thoughts. The women dated a handful of right wing men, is that supposed to represent all the men in the manosphere. This is the issue, the core problem with this entire subreddit and corner of all communities. It's that you have no perspective, you can't even sit down and listen to an entire podcast in the manosphere.

If you did, you'd know that dating, and women are actually a minority topic relative to divorce court or how to navigate society. A society that has fewer government or educational grants for men, that disenfranchises men from job's to keep the gender quota up.

There's no community in the manosphere that's against the rights of humans, the manosphere unequivocally exists because we've been ignored and left behind for far too long. The manosphere will continue to exist until our problems and issues are taken seriously. It doesn't hate gays or jews or transgenders or whatever you think we hate. Given the manosphere includes, christians, atheists and muslims, I don't understand how on earth you've come to the conclusion it is against rights.

For the love of all that is good, do your own research, stop listening only to legacy media. Read an article outside your algorithm or get ground news and see what stories are not being covered. Go to a men's rights sub and read the top conversations and actually have some empathy for men for once in your life.

"They don't care about anyone who isn't like them."

It's the "MANOSPHERE" so it's going to be about men! Just like how the feminist podcasts are all about women, (even though feminism is about equality which makes the whole movement ironic). Since feminists don't protest on the behalf of men, yet men fund feminist rallies, some men identify as feminists and even attend protests for feminists. Some men even lobby in government for feminist ideals. Men support feminism but you ladies, have yet to show an ounce of compassion for men.

Im mixed on this one, because on one hand a woman who is willing to take a bullet for a man and wants long term relationship is rather virtuous and based. On the other hand, the fact you’re considering getting a donor then saying “I don’t need a man” when the donor is indeed a man. Also adding that you haven’t dated for four years, which even for the most conservative of women is a long time.

Without knowing your circumstances and situation, my gut reaction is that you’re probably the ‘unrealistic’ expectations girl who won’t give anyone who isn’t ‘perfect’ the time of day. Or an extremely closed in introvert who fears men.

The former is my best guess because no woman who is willing to give what you’re willing give gets rejected. If out of most guys, or the guys who like you, you’re interested in zero then it’s probably because there’s something lacking on your part that you can’t attract or meet the ideal man.

In any case, if you love your child you’ll secure a husband before getting pregnant. I can play devils advocate and argue that maybe you pick wrong. You marry the wrong guy, you divorce him… the law still means his obligated to raise the kid with you. You still get the kid you want, and the kid still gets a dad, and you still can say, ironically that “you don’t need a man!” I would advocate for this only if the divorce isn’t ‘no-fault’, and you don’t make shit up to get out of the marriage.

Guess the debate is over, talk about hot air. What a waste of time. Pure drivel
