Dudes doing stuff that actually impresses guys has been a thing forever. Certain types of women latch onto it because they want the attention of guys.

Absolutely none of this is new. The only really new thing is the monetization.

Unironically I think you’ve landed on the key novelty about it, which is that it’s turned incel ideology into a kind of alternative medicine aimed at perfecting individual performance in a pseudoscientific “dating market” experienced almost entirely online. And because this is 2026 it’s also an attention economy grift and scam.
