A while ago it was brought up the joyful circumstances of numerous commentors here being married or in some other form of relationship. Some even had kids.
Question for you all, how hard is it nowadays to be in one (relationship), or get in one? The red pill media has, over the years, become very black pilled and sensationalist on the subject. Granted, with ever increasing feminism and a decrease in tolerance for male behavior I have noticed it getting a lot harder out there... but ia it anywhere near as bad as they say?
While we are at it, what the hell does everyone do for fun in the real world? Prices have gone sky high in America, especially rent and housing, and over the years I have noticed less and less people go out, especially those in their 20s and 30s. I like to hike and explore so sitting at home doing nothing but play video games, read and watch tv drivers me nuts after a while. Granted, society seems less friendly and more shut in nowadays anyways. Still, there must be some clubs or whatever that people do for fun, even if not as frequently as ye olden times.
The sperges are obsessive about women, but you're touching on a big issue that usually gets ignored. Social life in general has collapsed. It's not just an issue with romance. People have fewer friends and socialize less IRL overall. You really need to build some kind of social circle. That's got a bigger chance of working than just trying to ask women out until you hit the jackpot. The lack of a social circle makes people more paranoid as well since you don't know anything about the people you are trying to date. If you have mutual friends, there is vetting that has happened through that.
For meat space activities, there's the classic bowling billiards, etc. and card and board games. Small town festivals are a bit of a hidden gem in some places. For rural areas, there's fishing, hunting, and other outdoorsy stuff. There's the odd birthday parties and such.
For years, these people insisted that they had it all figured out, that they understood women and could get you laid and help with long term relationships and even marriages. They're now terminally single and black pilled. Despite this, they have not admitted to being wrong about anything and still insist they have it all figured out. Keep that in mind as you read the rage baiting screenshots of reddit posts they base their worldview on.
I wish more people would talk about the complete collapse of social life. It's fucking terrifying and is the underlying root cause for a whole host of problems in the modern world. We need more in the way of efforts being made to correct the issue. I've been trying to do what I can in my small sphere of influence by just sending out a weekly email to try and get people together to go hiking once a week, but it's like pulling teeth to get more than one or two people to show up regularly. It's what we all need though, something where we all get together regularly to interact with one another.
As much as I hate to say it, the collapse of social life is the fault of men. In times past the men would organize groups and events (rotary, masons, etc) that would be social and help the community. Otherwise men would organize BBQ and neighborhood meetups.
We dropped our responsibilities, many with no father figure to teach them.
I tell you though, people are hungry for it if you start. I am introverted but have taught myself to organize and have gotten to the point where I throw parties where I get more people than I invited.
It can be done, but only if you make it so. The benefit as well is you can make the party what you want it to be.
I have noticed a lot of modern western people, whites and men especially, are phenomenally lazy when it comes down to social circles. Men get married, have kids, get a career, never leave the house again. And I have had the same issue setting up social things as well. Trying to get people to meet up for an event is a lot harder than it should be.
