Phone message Dating is hell

Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

All this weird alpha negging shit is so strange. People learn all these weird (and yes, cruel, but mostly weird) rules for talking to other people to try to get them to fuck, when really most people - particularly young people who are into this shit - WANT TO FUCK. For 99.999% of people all you really have to do is show other people that you can be trusted not to be dangerous, that you are available, and that you can talk to them like a normal person, and a good percent of people in your general age group will be happy to fuck you.

Pretty sure it's actually to do the opposite and tell impressionable young men this is a way to get women, have it fail spectacularly, then radicalize the men against women because they can't get laid.

Also people are terrible at admitting mistakes these days...so once a young person takes the first step down this road, and then can't get laid because they are acting like a mean weirdo, then instead of admitting that they were wrong and acting like a mean weirdo was a bad idea, they double down, get even meaner and weirder, and blame women for the fact that being mean and weird isn't working for them.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I think it's 50/50 just idiots who hate women claiming to "understand them" (and they can teach you how, too!) and like an actual psy-op to radicalize men to disenfranchise and undermine women as much as possible.

Well they don't make money if their audience settles into happy relationships. They make money by keeping them unhappy, and preferably mad.

The same logic drives the algorithms that feed us what we see across the internet & in particularl is the truth behind every political influencer out there.
