The old manosphere was great for comparing notes on what was going on. But the old red pill sites are mostly gone and have been replaced by a great deal of astro turf. Lately, I have noticed people aren't very friendly in public anymore. Asked around to some of the locals and they have told me no one goes out. Have to search to find people.
Also, I was talking with a younger dude who spends his summers going up to Alaska to work. I have known guys who have done that but didn't realize there was an extensive network of guys who do it. From what I gather a good chunk of these guys don't have wives or girlfriends, most are in their twenties but not all. The guy in question is tall, good looking, a very hard worker and a very nice guy. He made it sound like he didn't expect to get a girlfriend anytime soon, and didn't really expect to meet one. I have also known military guys who basically just dropped out of society and traveled. Also nice dudes. And then there was all the gym bros who dropped out after the Tiktok gals started harassing people at the local gyms.
How many young guys have just dropped out of society? I mean, all the dudes I cited are fit, good looking dudes. Just gone. It's hard to tell with the red pill videos as a good chunk of those guys are salesman selling their product, but how bad is it really now? Especially post covid. How many men just dropped out altogether? I'm getting the impression from this anecdotal evidence that it's getting worse, as there is always guys who drop out... But the majority didn't used to be dudes in their prime who were fit and good looking.
You quoted the rest of the sentence so you should try to read it.
Their base line expectation is "good looking." Without it you aren't even on their radar enough to matter, not even human. Like a job that just throws away any applications below a certain degree level.
So every fucking guy she is even considering is going to be good looking (or rich) to her. So if you rely entirely on it, like so many fit gym bros do, then you are coming up short to a guy whose good looking and XYZ. Without being actual Brad Pitt level hot, its not always enough on its own. Which is why /fit/ is filled with actual incels with abs.
This is just a lie that women repeated enough times that they got guys to believe it. I've seen marriages of women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s ended so she can go chase bad boys who made them horny. They've left behind their children, structure, even good paying jobs. Heck I've been the guy doing it in some of those cases.
Women will always be horny for "bad boys" no matter what age until they reach the one where their libido dies. And society is filled to the brim with kids as walking proof that they will move mountains to try and force that bad guy into nesting with them. Its why single motherhood is such an epidemic.
The "after 30, women stop liking Chad Thundercock" is just a women narrative to keep men from giving up entirely so that they have a fall back guy with money.
