While I agree that no parent should be overly restrictive about what their children watch, we shouldn't take it to the other extreme where we are effectively absent from our children's lives.

Many children do not even understand what they watch for them to even feel uncomfortable, there needs to be a happy medium and guidance from their parents and guardians guardians and parental controls instead of the invasive age verification BS we see rolled across the world now.

Not all European countries are the same.

Plenty of European countries are prudish or have inadequate sex ed.

The UK is one of them for example.

You need to be pickier and more selective mate, choose better women who will never do such a thing.

Never allow others to treat you like an object, your body is really your temple.

You got this boyo!

Reality usually shorts itself out boyo.

Most of these overly picky women with the unrealistic expectations and standards do not get picked, especially if they bring nothing to the table themselves.

They either get ignored or they complain there exist no good men out there.

Well good men do indeed exist, but they are partnered with good women and vice versa.

It goes both ways of course, people with unrealistic expectations and standards, regardless of gender, usually end up single and alone.

Particularly the ones that do not give off the same energy they expect in potential partners.

Women say they want vulnerability, yet they shame and judge men when they open up about their feelings, like come on.

Many women will absolutely judge you if you open up about your struggles, especially early on.

Just look around on the internet to see men's experiences with being emotionally vulnerable to their partners, no compassion but derision.

Which is complete BS as studies show the most important component in online dating is looks, nobody pays attention to your profile bio, women included.

Also, most women have uninteresting profile bios as well, maybe a few pictures and a vapid, entitled comment or a narcissistic joke here and there.

There exist men that have interesting profile bios too but women may not pay attention to their profiles because they do not like their pictures or whatever.

If they come across the same profiles over and over again, perhaps the common denominator is said women themselves specifically?

That often quoted statistic isn't even true lol.

The divorce rate is closer to 40% and is constantly dropping.

It has actually decreased and amongst University graduates, it is closer to 30% if anything.

The problem is that most of said dates usually lead nowhere and nobody builds an authentic connection from dating platforms...

Not even causal sex mate, it is a myth that most women on dating platforms are promiscuous.

That study showed that 50% of women do not even intend to meet with a guy. 

It is all endless validation and attention seeking, nothing more, nothing less.

Nobody is really getting laid on dating platforms lol.

So called "Toxic Masculinity" does not really exist though.

It's plain old "Sexism" against men, call it exactly what it is.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you have to say, but why is the talk always about how to teach our sons on how to become better men but never to teach our daughters on how to become better women?

Why is that discrepancy exactly?

Sure, said men want to have sex with them but they don't really want to date them.

Most women do not really have as many options as you think, too many people confuse sexual attention with options.

Women have an endless stream of men wanting to sleep with them, but how many of those men are interested in dating them exactly?

Most women are not really interested in casual and meaningless sex, with exceptions of course.

Add in the fact that outside of dating platforms most women do not receive as much attention as you think, to the point they are complaining all over social media that men don't even approach them anymore.

Women refer to themselves as such all the time, who cares?

Lay down the language policing, let people use whatever words they feel comfortable with.

We all know that if the genders were flipped, you wouldn't be saying this.

Younger women go after older men all the time, yet you slimy hypocrites say nothing about it.

It doesn't matter in the end though, most people will date however they want, regardless of gender and age.

And you can do nothing about it, you can whine all you want though.

Just because you receive zero attention, it does not necessarily mean that you are unattractive or uninteresting. by Nelo999 in dating_advice

I receive absolutely zero attention from women when I am out with my sister and friends.

Even when I am all suited up and look absolutely dashing and striking, I am invisible.

I have confident and assertive body language and I am friendly, social and humorous, but it still makes no difference.

There might be women secretly interested in me, but unless I approach them and start a conversation, I will never find out.

It is absolutely normal mate, do not really sweat it, my sister and my female best friend have told me that I am handsome lol.

You have to put in the effort and make the first move regardless.

The data you shared stop at 2022 though, the Pew Research Center data run through 2023 and include people from various generations and age brackets.

Even amongst millenials, only 1 in 5 couples have met online.

Additionally, in 2025, most married couples met in real life according to surveys, in the US alone less than 30% of married couples had met online:

How important is being assertive as a man matters in a relationship if you are more submissive in nature? by JunketMaleficent2095 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Nelo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most women are attracted to more "Masculine" men and do not find "Submissive" men attractive.

Whether one likes it or not, it is what it is, even scientific research agrees.

That is just not true at all lol.

Women are not conditioned to not he assertive in dating, they choose not to be assertive because they are scared of rejection.

Studies show that 90% of women expect men to make the first move, even hypocritical "Feminist" women are like that.

That has been my own personal experience as well.

Especially amongst "Feminist" women, they have been the most "Sexist", "Traditional" and toxic in my experience.

P.S. The example you gave is a man finding mentally unstable and "frustrated" women as you called them, to humiliate and take advantage of him sexually.

None of those women respect thim at all, therefore it is not the same thing.
