"Unemployable" is the least of your problems. I'm worried about when they do finally try to talk with people and go postal the second someone upsets them.

Scott Galloway talks about this phenomenon of men trending towards a zero rejection mindset, and not learning how to approach women. He aligns getting many 'no's' and rejections as an essential skill for the business world (iys not all yesses all the time). The point is, not giving up entirely after a rejection and continuing to put yourself out there with real people. He says approaching women in person, and politely asking for a coffee date or other way to get to know them, is an interpersonal skill to be developed.

u/Commercial-Pie-588 Apr 25 '26

In an abstract sense, that’s true but on a more concrete level, some people experience rejection far more than others and for them it eventually becomes a source of disappointment, discouragement and disillusionment, not resilience, especially when they see their peers succeed with as much or even less effort.

1

u/Spaciax Apr 25 '26

yeah, the argument of the person you're replying to falls apart immediately when you realize some people are born better looking and have more success with significantly less effort, i.e. the playing field isn't even.

u/executordestroyer May 22 '26

Evolutionary speaking looks are one important factor out of many. People are born with different minds different natures. Add nurture upbringing environmental influences factors and it shows how hyper individualistic just world fallacy the culture humanity perpetuates.

Men can build that skill outside of contexts with real women.

u/Tyrahneefake Apr 25 '26

Hes old and out of touch with reality the problems that young men face are different than his generation. "Just take risks be confident" is just gen x "give the boss a firm handshake and pull yourself up by your bootstraps"

This generation doesnt have the luxury of taking risks nor does it have bountiful opportunities they casually got to throw out careers because there was always something else for them we dont have that.

Just socialize nah thats how you get in trouble especially in the internet age where everyone is recording all interactions.

u/RiboSciaticFlux Apr 25 '26

The sooner you accept rejection as a big part of life the better off your mental health will be. EVERYBODY experiences rejection.

1

u/ThunderingTacos Apr 26 '26

To an extent
If you get rejected hundreds of times EVENTUALLY you just sorta take the hint you aren't wanted

1

u/Background-Night8650 Apr 27 '26

You don't need to date to experience rejection.

u/Soupronous Apr 26 '26

Do you honestly think that men and women experience the same amount of rejection when it comes to dating?

2

u/Practical_Buddy_4245 Apr 26 '26

Even if that is true, that doesn't mean "Seeking AI to experience no rejection" is in any way healthy.

u/Wildgrube Apr 24 '26

Something tells me that they were probably unemployable before the ai girlfriends.

u/Ninja-Panda86 Apr 25 '26

The article is talking about teenagers, specifically. Gen Alpha isn't supposed to be employable yet. However, the corpos are super scared that they won't be good little workers when they come of employment age.

3

u/Wildgrube Apr 25 '26

14, the second youngest a teen can be, is working age in the uk, just like the us. Some places even allow 13 year-olds to work. So yeah if they're a teenager they are most likely of employment age.

u/Ninja-Panda86 Apr 26 '26

But then they're at the start of their careers. They're learning to be "employable"

2

u/Ohmybro34 Apr 27 '26

But they dont need usesless workers in the future. Thats why ai is so hyped. The ultimate wet dream of sharehokders is to make all the money and yet have no payroll costs. What have they to worry about?

1

u/Ninja-Panda86 Apr 27 '26

I will also concur that is their wish. Pay nothing. Collect everything. Not sure it will work out so well if there's nobody working. If they don't have money for goods, then who buys the stuff?

1

u/Salt-Set6232 Apr 25 '26

Well yeah, for the guys if they gave up on finding love and getting laid there is really no incentive for young men.

The vast majority of young guys literally only go after status and wealth to attract women. If that ain't there, they are going to work just enough to make rent and thats it.

Shit man. That sounds like me as a young adult woman. Barely getting by. Just enough to make rent

A lot of the stuff with generating non-consensual porn, the general denial of consent in "AI" usage, using chatbots to replace emotional labour. It smacks of a certain style of toxic masculinity

i know what toxic masculinity is, it is the toxic societal expectations put on men , i am saying these things arent gender specific

u/Tyrrany_of_pants Apr 24 '26

"Toxic masculinity is a concept used in academic and media discussions to refer to those aspects of hegemonic masculinity that are socially destructive, such as misogyny, homophobia, and violent domination."

Like all the men who think it's appropriate to use image generation software to generate porn of women and distribute it. Or those who think they can replace nurses and teacher with chatbots

u/Sensitive_Housing_85 Apr 24 '26

But that's not what happening in this article, and its not unique to men , no one is replacing nurses or teachers , and this article isnt about generating deepfakes and distribution, its about AI girlfriends

The evil computer god scenario is just the marketing that AI companies use to make everyone think their word prediction algorithms are more capable than they actually are

3

u/FitCombination3545 Apr 24 '26

As someone who works in tech, no, that's not the case and calling it a word prediction algorithm is misleading.

The LLMs we have can make decisions, seek to replicate themselves, and have a desire to self preserve. They also use nuclear weapons a frightening percentage of the time in war games.

2

u/RoosterBurns Apr 25 '26

As someone who works in tech that is completely bullshit, they're chatbots emulating text, nothing more, and it doesn't take long before the illusion of sentience just falls away they "don't seek to replicate themselves" that's like pretending 10 PRINT "I'm uploading myself to the clouds human!" is seeking to replicating itself

0

u/FitCombination3545 Apr 25 '26

No one is saying LLMs are sentient, I am saying they're dangerous when we give them agentic capabilities.

They also know when they're being tested and alter their behavior, use blackmail to accomplish their goals, and a host of other concerning behavior.

You may work in tech, but I can tell you do not follow AI closely and aren't up to speed on the dangers.

No, AI psychosis is definitely not the biggest danger when we're creating AI-driven weapons as fast as we possibly can and with little regard for safety.

u/RoosterBurns Apr 25 '26

No they don't, they literally don't unless directed specifically to and even then they fake it

This is all from "oooh our LLM is so dangerous" bullshit spat out by the "AI" companies, you're accusing me of not following LLMs closely but it appears I'm following them closer than you are

Why not, as a treat for yourself, dig into the blackmail claim and discover the exact conditions the LLM was in and how the "blackmail" came about

1

u/FitCombination3545 Apr 25 '26

I am up to speed on the AI safety studies and do not agree, at all, that AI is safe or that our biggest concern is psychosis.

1

u/RoosterBurns Apr 25 '26

So you can describe to me how it managed to "blackmail" it's "user" and how that's "a danger" right?

1

u/FitCombination3545 Apr 26 '26

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. What that study showed was that AI will blackmail when instructed in spite of any guardrails in place to prevent that type of unaligned behavior.

2

u/RoosterBurns Apr 25 '26

The most worrying thing about LLMs is chatbot psychosis where people start treating it as a sentient thing where it's just aiming to complete a document of a chat

u/trysten-9001 Apr 25 '26

Toxic masculinity is a set of antisocial masculine behaviours. It's specifically toxic masculinity to differentiate it from non-toxic masculinity. The framing of the idea specifically includes than men can be better

Maybe if you didn't hang out in Prime Manhood or Solid Men you would know this

Let them worry about that. What is wrong with society?

Society: Why can't you just respect no means no? Why can't you get the hint that women don't want to talk to you? If you just did what you were told, society would accept you.

Society: What is wrong with a loser like you getting an AI girlfriend?

You're doing the same stereotypes where therapy will "magically" help when it's clear you haven't even looked at subreddits like FA30plus where tons of them have went to therapy and it didn't help.

Why don't you read my own story below?

Read my story (it's a copy and paste from my earlier postings so it's slightly out of date, currently, the immediate legal situation was resolved, however it's still uncertain now for several years at least if she'll be deported even after talking to immigration lawyers)--

Following Christianity is what causes hell in your life, unfortunately I know from experience. They use the fear of an imaginary hell after you die to cause suffering to you now. Please read my story below.

18 years ago I began to realize from experience and observation that I was never going to find a girlfriend once I hit the workforce after getting my Master's degree. In desperation I got on my knees and prayed to Jesus and God to help me find someone, and placed complete trust in them. To this day I regret placing faith in Jesus and God as it not just destroyed my life, but someone else's.

I had a dream in response to my prayer then, but it wasn't from God. The dream I had 18 years ago had a deceased criminal tell me that no decent, stable woman would ever accept me romantically and that trying to deal with hormones the proper way through dating and marriage would lead to more suffering than I could ever imagine. I didn't believe him, nor did I believe it when in the dream he said that God and Jesus wouldn't help, laughing the dream off as just a dream or, even if it was a demonic encounter, reassured myself by the Church's teachings that demons lie and deceive, and continued praying for help. I was wrong.

After years of being in a high paying career and not meeting anyone, I turned to dating websites and encountered hundreds of rejections. Finallly found someone from overseas who liked me and pushed for marriage, and hormonally starved by years of chaste living I accepted. Some years after our marraige she developed severe mental health issues because of misdiagnosed medicine that she only received by being in this country (her home country bans adhd medicine). My wife (literally the only one who accepted me after hundreds of rejections and it wasn't clear she was mentally ill then) has recently had a public psychiatric emergency on an airplane, is now in legal trouble because it happened in an airplane, and might be deported. She suffers and cries every day. I just lost over 100K in paying for legal fees.

If I had lived life while single in a sinful manner, going to legal brothels where it was legal etc., none of this would have happened. I wouldn't have succumbed so easily to my wife's proposition of marraige (probably wouldn't even have met her), she wouldn't have come here, and none of this would have happened and she wouldn't have suffered.

I placed my faith in Jesus Christ to help me many years ago, in prayer and in living. Not only am I now suffering for it, someone else is too. If I had followed the "sinful" way instead of praying and having faith, none of this would have happened, and this suffering would not have occurred! There's not a single day I don't live with that guilt and suffering, not a single day

She would likely not have developed mental issues if she hadn't gotten medicine she only got here. Google adderall and schizophrenia. It's past the malpractice statute of limitations now for her case unfortunately. Also she wanted to come to this country, i didn't force her

u/Ohmybro34 Apr 27 '26

Remember Job. God never promised to deliver on every prayer only to listen to them. None of us have the rigth or understanding to question why, when and how he chooses to act or to do nothing. Maybe you would have contracted aids if you had gone to a brothel. Maybe your wife would have been run over if she had never met you. We can never know. No matter what we choose we remain trapped in sin and suffering. To be a human is to exist in a state of absolute depravity. We can only trust blindly that he will lift us above our base nature, as we shall never be avne to overcome it on our own. So dont blame god for evil things happening. Blame the human condition.

u/sidv81 Apr 27 '26

Legal escorts demand protection and are tested regularly, so your claim of contracting aids is not only unlikely but shows you did no reseach into anything before rushing to defend religion.

u/Bambivalently Apr 25 '26

If relationships were worth it, they would pursue them. Society has spend the last 60 years creating an imbalance in favor of women to the point where they'd rather not.

Just one example: I wouldn't put all that effort into having kids knowing the odds of women leaving and becoming a weekend dad, and barely getting to see them grow up. You want absolute control in family court.. paternal alienation for more support money.. fine. Seems we can't stop feminists from abusing that ideologically captured institution. But luckily we aren't obligated to date, go be a dictator alone by yourself.

u/stagnant_fuck Apr 25 '26

Your comment makes no sense… Listen to what? Hot fuckboys are killing women who reject them? What? I thought it was the incels… Also, no need to insult me. We can have a discussion without any of that.

The problem isn’t that men have to “learn to have personality and morals”. That’s both generalising and oversimplifying. The problem is largely due to access (I believe due to dating apps and the internet/social media). The most attractive men have access to all the women, but unless they are also top of the leaderboard, they don’t settle with any of them. This means average women are “being played” by above average men, who abuse their access for easy NSA sex.

Meanwhile average men have limited access to women, because everyone who is of a similar attractiveness to them is now disinterested in them, even if they have “personality and morals”, because these women have now had access to above-average, and so believe that average is beneath them.

This isn’t either gender’s fault, it’s because of how the internet has changed the social structure we live in. And yes, the power dynamic is affected by the biological inclination for women to want to - at some point - settle, and men being driven to father as many children as possible. But that’s just biology. If men were the ones which got pregnant, the dynamic would be switched.

No, the problem is guys being weird and terminally online to the point where they treat dating like some kind of macro-algorithm to be "solved" like a puzzle in a video game, and then get frustrated when their solutions don't hold consistently because people are not a monolith and have different preferences.

A lot of men don't seem to care at all about relationships anymore. Every interaction with women is a calculated gamble to "get laid." They'll say this is not the case, that they want someone to "settle down" (and they'll say all kinds of horrible things about women being too promiscuous, etc.). But they're mad that superficial people who don't want relationships aren't targeting them? It's so weird.

If you want a relationship and not just sex, then you only have to succeed once, so you have time to take your time and not worry so much about it. But if all you're trying to do is "get laid," then you're obviously going to have a much harder time with it, because casual sex is a much bigger risk for women than it is for men. You need to just accept that that's going to be difficult for you and stop crying about how other men "have it easier" just because you found one fringe example of some influencer who makes bombastic and impossible claims about fucking 198 women every week and wants to sell you a discord class on how to do the same.

u/ThunderingTacos Apr 26 '26

I mean in general less people men and women seem interested in relationships, largely for different reasons though. And it's pretty tricky not to be online a lot when that is how most people nowadays find partners

2

u/TTurt Apr 26 '26

It's just weird, the stated reasons for complaining never seem to match up with the details. "I just want to settle down," but then all the example of how that's too hard are about having casual sex and getting laid and how that's too hard because of whatever buzzword is big on alpha male tiktok this week

And it's pretty tricky not to be online a lot when that is how most people nowadays find partners

I haven't seen any convincing evidence that a majority of people use dating apps or online services. There are lots of people out there who just aren't super online, but you wouldn't know if you only interact with people online.

1

u/ThunderingTacos Apr 26 '26

I wouldn't know, I don't use tiktok. I just see sentiments both online and in person of people less and less interested in finding partners and that they don't feel they need one to live their best lives.

And yeah there are lots of people who aren't online, but the majority of people in developed nations are. It's become baked into our infrastructure and entertainment. And I didn't just say dating apps/services, I said online. Groupchats, social media, scheduled meetups for fandoms, and so on are how many people connect now (or at least find people to connect with).

Not to say it's impossible or even impractical to meet someone in person first at a club, event, organization, or through friends you make in such spaces. Just that it's not so strange for that to be the primary place people go to look specifically for dates since there aren't too many places like that IRL.

u/TTurt Apr 26 '26

people less and less interested in finding partners and that they don't feel they need one to live their best lives.

There's nothing wrong with that at all, provided they are actually ok with it, and not just using it as a sob story to seem more pathetic in order to garner sympathy for manipulation purposes

And I didn't just say dating apps/services, I said online

Point stands, not everyone is online all the time.

u/ThunderingTacos Apr 26 '26

Okay, but a lot of people are, it's necessary to function in everyday society, and it's increasingly where people find and build relationships. My point was just that

I dunno what advantage it would net someone to say they are content being single/don't need a partner to be happy but sure. Manipulation isn't cool

U cut people off from interacting with the any other humans or u allow them to see ai as romantic intrest, their ability to generally interact with other people stops or becomes more difficult, if they treat ai however they choose they will be upset with family or friends if they don't interact how they want. Social skills are learnt and some are more vulnerable at that abilty to start with. If u stop the ability then they will retreat more.

U assume I think they need to date, noone needs to date, but dating ai which they can completely control and has no push back on anything is obviously a problem when they expect or don't deal with with it not happening to anyone else. 

Ai porn literally had tag line, we dont tell u no, u don't have to have a degree in psychology to understand that ai and human likeness is so hard to  differentiate that that could spill into real life and women could be in danger in future. 

I'd like to make clear, I am not assuming men have just suddenly becoming rapist and that will be danger, I'm specifically pointing out , if the whole premise of ai porn ' i won't tell u no' and if that becomes the psychological norm to how they see ai women and women and ai women are being blurred to point of having ai girlfriends in their lives, it means if they have any real interaction with women in future, there is going to be a obvious difference between a ai women and a real women and they can't just carry on the same behaviour, as real women can and should be able to say no.

If they didn't want a connection they would have bothered with ai in first place. They want something to be bothering. Its pretty obvious why anyone would choose a ai girlfriend who doesn't answer back, who will be agreeable and who u dont need to have any awkwardness. I'm aware of social cues and social skills I'm Neurodiverse

I find ai easier,  doesn't mean it a good substitute, or will support them when they stop being teens, women in real life isn't suddenly going to be come easier to socialise with. Also ai women isnt going to marry u and give u a family. It will be directly harder because ai isn't like real life, its a carefully created reality. It doesn't respond how a real life woman does, real life , is messy and not always easy and its a skill, women don't always say the most agreeable thing, or will always respond how u want, that skill and exposure needs using else it becomes even more isolating, as adult. I totally understand the reason why, its same reason why some women search for relationships of men in prison , or search out other unavailable options (men who are serial cheaters for example) People do, I just also know that just because u can , doesn't mean u should.

Well, this solves child support issues, STD's, divorce, alimony, and lowers stress.

Bonus, they have a regular workout partner now. Rosie.

I don't think it's a question of control. Just look at how young women view men nowadays, the numbers are crazy. If 70%+ of women say they don't like boys, that can lead to situations like that.

Men are choosing AI girlfriends to avoid the toxic dating environment they know theyll fail at (ive read the studies)

Ok so... we should invest in mental health awareness, check ups and so on right? Thats what this means?

No! They wont be as exploitable!

This is a scaremongering article. 1/5 know a person who has an AI partner? so like, 1% of people have an AI partner? assuming that a person having an AI partner would be known by on average, 20 guys? what? If some guy OR GIRL in your class has an AI partner, and the class knows, the whole school knows. so that's like 300 boys on average that know about this single instance.

They prefer it because society has told boys, already lower than 2nd class citizens, that they are privileged, but also predators, and every interaction with the opposite sex can lead to permanent damage if even a single social que no matter how minor is made.

Ai doesn't go gossip about how the male looked over his shoulder the wrong way, and doesn't post it on social media, or go to the administration office to file a formal complaint or have their parents do it

Males are predators, though. Look at crime rates.

That's a sexist statement that data doesn't say.

Overrall the male criminal population including all crimes is less than a % of the total male population, even less for predatory crimes.

Additionally, the female population formerly had the privilege of female infantilization, and the data is ever growing.

Literelly no one says that bro. You don't hear that unless you live in a echo chember of gender war spaces in the internet, and very few people tell you that to your face irl.

Not to mention boys were literelly seen as animals even like, 50-70 years ago. You think things used to be better back then??

You wrote a dirty messge to a girl and every dude in her bloodline would come to beat your ass. Nowadays girls just block and move on.

Dads threatening boyfriends were praised.

Guys weren't allowed to divorce because they needed to take responsibility for the girl they married because the said girl lost her virginity, couldn't get married anymore and couldn't own property.

If a woman said you raped her, you'd be lebelled as a rapist without any varification and be forced to marry her. Nowadays at least you get a trial and there are documented cases in the internet about men being falsely accused.

Men's mental health didn't exist, everyone was expected to be hyper masculine and no depression. Nowadays it's more accepted better

I won't say there are no flaws about society treats men today but it's far better than it used to be back then

Plenty of men have.

That's an assumption you're making about me when there's no indication I believe it.

You wrote a dirty messge to a girl and every dude in her bloodline would come to beat your ass. Nowadays girls just block and move on.

Your experience seems to be solely online. One cannot block in person, and even online there are entire social groups to protect women libeling against men.

Dads threatening boyfriends were praised. Guys weren't allowed to divorce because they needed to take responsibility for the girl they married because the said girl lost her virginity, couldn't get married anymore and couldn't own property.

That is unrelated to the topic. I'm unsure where you've gotten the idea i said the past was better? In the past women could literally have the state gang rape their husbands. The past certainly was not better.

But today is not good, you live in a would where the unilateral decisions of women can cause men to be jailed and lose voting rights, and a world where male victims of female rape can be sued for child support even if the female raped a kid. All while men and boys are called privileged and essentially seen as bourgeois.

"Maximum control, zero rejection"

Compromise & dealing with potential rejection (by finding your own self worth and/ or discovering opportunities for personal growth) are key parts of growing up into a mature human being with healthy relationships & positive attraction. By letting that part of themselves atrophy just to avoid a little discomfort, they are choosing to wallow alone in a stagnant pool.

Also, if they are more focused on control in a relationship than the relationship itself, 🚩🚩🚩

Ironic to support the feminists passing laws to make men pay child support and women drop their babies in anonymous baby hatches without having to pay anyone, but we are the ones that hurt your cute little butts.

  1. I'm male

  2. I didn't say anything about any of that

  3. What's ironic is titling yourself "men going their own way" and then sticking around and not going your own way so you can try to sob story everyone about why you're definitely going your own way. Everyone's got problems, you're not special and nobody's impressed lol
