@deeplydisturbed dude, this is a big part of my growth
I was never a "tool guy" when I was young. I was good at academics and athletics, but not that sort of thing.
When I was in my 20s and early 30s, I just threw money at shit that needed repairing. I could put on my spare tire and change my own oil, and that was just about all.
Once I got a couple of years into the apprenticeship for my trade, I became a lot more handy.
Over the years since, I've repaired a washing machine, a dryer, fixed a lot of other small shit around the house, and then that riding mower this past weekend.
Learning this shit was a huge departure from my comfort zone, and the knowledge has paid immense dividends.
User bitches that "mods take down every post" and the sub "has too many restrictive rules" because they were too obtuse to notice automod removed their post for karma and nothing else
Mod approved it anyway but the whiney screed was so annoying post history got checked
Turns out user was a woman. Her post got removed after people downvoted it and she got banned (not technically not allowed but women shouldn't be posting in TheRedPill especially not after bashing mods and the sub)
Gets banned. Whines about mods. Appeal denied (is a woman)
@deeplydisturbed lmao no, I was already permanently suspended from reddit before I learned about the Shrek memes
And it's not a fetish!
Shrek is love.
Shrek is LIFE.

@Stigma when that sort of shit happens to me, I'll usually act slightly amused and say something like "you're awfully trusting". If they keep at it too much, especially if they start telling me shit I don't want to know, I'll straight up tell them that I don't want to know.
Today, all three of the colleagues I work closest with began to confide in me. All three on separate occasions, began to divulge things to me they wouldn’t necessarily want people to know (or otherwise do want people to know and have found an outlet in me).
Now, I don’t like it, and I would like it to stop. I mostly don’t like it because I strongly believe their confidence is not due to traits I find positive in myself or them. They aren't how we might say ‘alpha’ traits - they see me as empathetic and having enough time to hear their woes.
Is there a way to pivot away from this dynamic, preferably as neutrally as possible?
Hard to say, lass...
- #MeToo, harassment accusations, filming approachers for viral videos
- Women often wanting to be approached more so for the ego boost than an opportunity to date
- Social media lifting the curtain on how women see and treat men/relationships (funnily enough, she's adding to this with the "he's gotta like her a bit more" comment)
- Women investing way less into their partners than the older generations she's referencing as men putting more effort
- The caliber of men women want to be approached by can just install a dating app and get flooded with options thanks to women's hypergamy
Perhaps the right question to ask wasn't "Why aren't men approaching anymore?", but rather "How to incentivize men to approach again?". Unfortunately that would require admitting that men are just adapting to circumstances and aren't the root cause of this problem, and that's not gonna fly in this day and age.

I mean fuck's sake, we got dudes that keep coming back here still having issues after months of us telling them to get out there and do the fucking work instead of expecting a Pussy Puzzle Password. Those are your competition.
You can't figure out how to surpass them then you're just being a lazy pud.
Men have begun to reevaluate the risk/reward ratios of approaching women, dating them, and even marrying them. For many men, none of these scenarios offer enough reward to compensate them for the risks.
The risk/reward ratios were different in the 50s. That was due to many factors:
- economic reality (it was easier for households to survive on a single income)
- less consumerism (modern women tend to buy non-essentials more readily than men)
- no social media (it has never been easier to see how insufferable many women are)
- gender roles (women were more inclined to accept, and even relish, the roles of homemaker and parent)
- fewer divorces (women were less inclined to initiate divorce - partly because no-fault didn't exist in most states)
- no OnlyFans (women were less willing to show their balloon knots for $9.99/month)
That's the tip of the iceberg.
Ultimately, a growing percentage of men believe dating and marriage holds less value and potential for them. Both are likely to saddle them with burdens and liabilities that aren't offset by the perceived rewards.
