Somehow the fact that I started living by myself at age 22 seems all the more manly.

Ladies....



On a serious note, who actually cares?

"I think the "problem" with today is that the transition into becoming a man (or woman for that matter) is in the midst of shifting to a much higher age. The 16 year-old entrepreneur of the past is now a 23 year-old college graduate with about the same or arguably even less opportunities. I know a lot of young men and women who insist that they will "settle down" when they've acquired a career and are in a stable financial situation. In a world where you need to be mobile to get a job in the field you are focused on, it makes having a stable relationship with a high school (or even college) sweetheart all the more difficult to pull off. This shift of almost an entire decade leaves a lot of time for focus in other areas of life other than starting a career or family (education, bachelorhood, hobbies)."

Very astute, makes a lot of sense.

I hope I didn't just say something stupid.
I feel like, for some reason, femininity is a much stronger force online compared to masculinity. I think it's good in general - when it comes to unshackling ourselves from gender norms, men have a long way to go. Again, it goes back to the fact that women started having that conversation decades ago while men are only just starting.

Article writer says that he is a real man.

Article writer says that real men get out there and approach women themselves.

Article writer tells women to come and find him, while he plays call of duty.

Get friendzoned.

This article is something else. Reeks of sexual repression.

Looks like someone got denied...

Social media platforms have taken away the need to interact face to face

^ yup and it's fucking lame

So instead of having to spend the time to meet a real woman and have actual sexual intercourse, they watch porn.

^ so glad I don't watch porn anymore

Instead of going out into the real world and meeting women, they stalk women on Instagram.

Tru^ and fucking gay

Generation-Y is the instant gratification generation.

Tru^

Men no longer feel the need to pause and reflect because the options for whatever it is they want are only a click away

Tru^

Jackie never got back to your text message? I’m sure you have several other women in your contacts that you’d equally like to f*ck — once. Then you’ll get bored and move on to the next one.

^ guilty. Except Jackie always texts back lol

This guy has some valid points but he's still a tard

On a separate note, I pretty much don't jack off anymore at all and I legitimately feel so much better overall because of it.

Snow hats in the snow are ok.
