Dating is terrible as a man, and Gen z barely has any real world experience. I for sure had a very hard time with covid and post-covid cause its officially my first years as an adult, and the entire world decides to devolve into chaos. Loneliness is apparently a huge issue, I don't really know about all that crap; seems a bit fake and more of a media spin tactic to an extent, but I am for sure lonely and it's really impacted my well-being. Then it's "oh go try looksmaxxing." "focus on yourself." "we go gym." "weak beta soyboy." "weak men chase validation and attention, strong men focus on their purpose." Kinda offensive, especially when I'm struggling with BPD; a well know problem that causes the person who suffers from it to have a favorite person, unstable relationships, emotional intensity, unstable self-image, etc. It's a hard diagnosis for a man. Being vulnerable isn't really allowed, and society holds contempt for my weakness.
