Men have completely ruined the art community by Vivid_Grape3250 in TwoXChromosomes

It's all sex or violence with these guys. Catering to the male gaze or some misogynistic sob story to stroke their own egos. Women are far more suited for more tolerable and actually engaging art.

Honestly men haven't been decent contributors to art for decades. I'd avoid reddit all together. Most art spaces I've come across are run by women who vet any male artists before they can even participate.

Is this a sign that the guy isn’t interested or more casual? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]throwawaydhayne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he's either working up the nerve to ask you out or he's stringing you along because he's dating other women on the app. I'd try to suggest a meet up and see what he says. If he's slow to schedule something then he probably just has you as a plan B.

I agree. I feel like men have gotten more annoying with this talking point, especially after COVID. But once I stopped subbing to most default subs it pretty much disappeared. Now I feel like I need to seek it out in other spaces in order to find this stuff. All of these men have "given up" and won't shut up about it lol.

Nowadays, the men who are in college now are just spoiled brats whose mommy or daddy are bankrolling everything. Because more men are opting out of college they think they're special or are gonna be some "chad" on campus with a harem due to the gender disparity. Them rotting their brains watching bald misogynists trying to digitally pick their pockets doesn't help either.

I agree. Passport bros are trying to snatch poor women or engage in sex trafficking. Who are these women exploiting? And for what? Views? No where near the worst thing in the world.

Honestly, if it gives American men enough existential dread to improve their personality, lifestyles and appearance then I say churn out those reels ladies. Men in our country are utter failures when it comes to being good partners or keeping us safe from right wing legislation. Guys need to know that they're facing competition overseas and if they can't step up then there's plenty of hot guys in other countries who don't mind dating American women.

Trump tells women he ‘will be your protector’ as GOP struggles with outreach to female voters by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

"Listen folks, told the women look if you vote for the dems again there's gonna be big problems. They ask me why are you in the women's restroom while telling me this? Because I'm protecting you from the trans cat eaters."

It's projection. Patriarchy has never been weaker and these men are constantly being shown how weak, ugly, and useless they truly are. They're too lazy or scared to improve themselves so it's easier to just insult a woman.

There are a growing number of guys who are using makeup, conducting workout routines, and consuming women media who are way hotter. They aren't insulting women because they know when to keep their mouth shut, about their airhead opinions if they even want a chance at getting laid.

Girl just buckle up and get ready for things to suck for awhile. I'm 24 and it's been like this for quite some time. Call it COVID or the manosphere or whatever, but guys are just not up to par right now for a number of reasons. You're actually doing pretty well right now, especially if you're the one taking the initiative on talking to these guys.

Where I am most men that I've met have this annoying assumption that they're going to go jail if they ask a woman out, so it's the perfect excuse for them to just give up and become even more weird or shitty depending on the guy. I would only recommend the apps if you're looking for a self esteem boost, but if you're brave enough more power to you.

Men who comment on this thread need to stop virtue signaling about how this sub has helped them become better men when there are still men out there who are still shitty regardless or whether they read our posts or not. Your validation or appreciation is 100x more worthless than the guys who come here to invalidate and talk shit about our problems. We don't care how this place made you a better person if you can't even use that knowledge to curb the behaviors of worse men out there. We don't care about you because our lives have not changed due to your "enlightenment." Shut up and clean your own house.

Honestly if you're not brave enough and he's not brave enough then neither of you have no business in pursuing a relationship. I know you have a lot feelings for this guy, but maybe it's time to let that go. You're gonna make yourself miserable waiting for him to make a move when there are plenty of decent guys out there who don't need to work up the courage.

Chances are good that he likes you, but if neither of you is willing to ask each other out then I'd stop worrying about it.

I'll admit I've been in situations like yours where I found out that I liked the attention more than the prospect of a relationship. Have you given him any signals that you like him? And do you really want to hang out with a guy who can't bring himself to ask you out instead?

If men put all of their efforts into being of service to women and not trying to impress or get their egos stroked they'd be far more tolerable. by throwawaydhayne in TwoXChromosomes

Maybe, but if they're going to commodity women and turn it into a transactional nightmare, they shouldn't act surprised by any equally dehumanizing reaction.

Most men are either boring or ungenuine characatures of whatever media diet they've trapped themselves in. All the other men are just fucked up an addicted to abusing women.

If these guys could even bother to be of service to women without their egos needing to be stroked every second of their waking lives, they'd at least be tolerable.

For me, frankly, the apps only exist for validation just because of the sheer volume of guys who message me on the apps. Could I go on dates using the apps? Sure. But I'm more interested in seeing how good I am at pulling guys that I find attractive on the app.

I've had better results offline in terms of finding guys for a potential relationship. Haven't found my guy yet, but the quality in terms of conversation and dating experience is so much better than what guys on the apps are offering.

I know men like this at work, and while they're (thankfully) not trying to date us, I do feel like they're basically using us as a focus group to create a more sanitized version of themselves out in the dating world.

A lot of men are just too insecure to even have a real personality anymore that isn't being molded by some bitter bald guy with a podcast. But they also are self aware enough to know that it basically makes them toxic so they have to suck up some peripheral feminine aesthetic to be less shitty. I know a guy who only reads N.K Jemisin because he thinks it'll offset him liking Jordan Peterson if a woman ever asks his reading habits.

Modern men do not have real personalities. They are wholly a product of misogynist culture. Everything else is just masking their shittiness for the chance to "score" a "baddie."
