Summary

The article suggests that many women harbor disdain for the average man and that men should focus on self-improvement and personal fulfillment rather than seeking approval from women.

Abstract

The article argues that a significant number of women have unrealistically high standards for men, often expecting them to be among the top 20% in terms of attractiveness or social status. It suggests that women tend to be less forgiving and more demanding of men, especially those who are considered 'good guys'. The author posits that despite men's efforts to please women, such efforts may be met with increased contempt or higher expectations. Consequently, the article advises men to accept the reality of women's attitudes and to focus on personal growth and self-acceptance rather than striving to meet women's expectations. The author encourages men to pursue their own interests and hobbies, suggesting that this approach may lead to more genuine connections and personal satisfaction.

Opinions

  • Women are increasingly setting higher standards for men and offering less in return, implying a general disdain for men outside the top 20%.
  • Women's negative attitudes towards men are evidenced by their treatment of 'good guys' and the mockery of male loneliness.
  • The author believes that women may lack empathy for men, similar to historical instances of racial bias and justification of cruelty.
  • Attempts to appease women may be counterproductive, potentially leading to higher standards or increased disdain.
  • The author endorses the 'Men Going Their Own Way' (MGTOW) philosophy, advocating for men to live authentically and focus on self-improvement rather than seeking female approval.
  • Men are encouraged to engage in their own hobbies and interests, even if some women may ridicule them, as this is a path to genuine self-fulfillment.
  • The article suggests that by not focusing on attracting women and instead living authentically, men may attract someone who appreciates them for who they are.
  • Ultimately, the author emphasizes the importance of self-improvement, personal joy, and peace as rewards in themselves, independent of external validation from women.

Men: you have to accept that women hate you, so what are you gonna do about it?

As women claim that most men are unattractive and have higher and higher standards and demands while giving less and less (such as saying “I AM the table!” when being asked what they bring to the table ), it seems obvious that many women have a disdain for a lot of men, unless perhaps those men are in the top 20% or whatever that they want to sleep with. Other than that, women can be very demanding and mistreat and have no mercy or pity on men, regardless if the men they treat that way are actually the good ones (at least relatively speaking). In fact, there are videos, etc. that suggest that women are actually meaner to the good guys or the guys who really just want to make them happy (such as the husbands who can never be good enough no matter how hard they try).

Basically what I’m trying to say is, if you’re not considered one of the top 20% of “high-value” men or whatever, chances are, a lot of women hate you off sight! For all of the talk they do about men supposedly hating women (although the hate men allegedly have for women might actually be rooted in those men’s desire for women not being reciprocated, not because they just don’t like women in general), many women can be just as hateful, if not more, towards men.

If you are just a normal guy that they see out and about, even if you are just minding your own business, they probably automatically think more negatively of you than positively, unless something about you turns them on. The average man typically doesn’t turn them on which, as I wrote in another article, may not be a totally bad thing, but I digress).

So now that you know that most women hate you, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to cry about it? Don’t bother, a lot of women aren’t going to have sympathy or compassion for you anyway, as evidenced by the videos of women mocking male loneliness. Besides, many women at least tell themselves that men don’t have feelings anyway.

Perhaps this helps them to justify their lack of empathy, sort of like in the past when some white folks tortured or abused Black people and claimed that Black people had a higher pain tolerance, which I suspect was simply something to appease their sadistic nature, but I digress.

Are you going to continue trying to appease them and be what they want you to be? Don’t bother. It may be that the more men try to please them, either the higher their standards may become or the more disdain they will have towards the very men who are desperately trying to please them to begin with.

So it seems that the only reasonable solution may be to go your own way after all (MGTOW). After all, some people were actually raised to understand that not everyone is going to like them and to have the mentality that if someone doesn’t like them to not worry about it. So why should it be any different when it comes to dealing with women just because they have something different between their legs? Many people were raised not to kiss people’s butts or try to force other people to like them, so may as well have the same mentality with women, regardless of how hot they may be.

So it may be better for men to just figure out who they are, be their authentic selves, live according to their own values, improve themselves mentally and otherwise, etc., and maybe some women will come around. Other than that, one might do well to not worry about attracting women so much (as I mentioned in another article), but rather, just living their lives and focusing on their own hobbies.

Some women say that they want men to have their own hobbies, yet some women seem to clown guys who have fishing photos on their dating profiles or whose interests consists of little things like playing video games. Go figure.

Anyway, a simple two words might be the solution: do you. Don’t worry about anybody else, women included. And if you do that, you may attract someone worthwhile and worthy enough to like you for who you are, but regardless, self improvement and living one’s life and finding joy and peace in whatever they have can still be a wonderful thing and be its own reward.

Best,
