Oh look, another article pushing therapy as the solution to men's dating problems (archive.is)

a survey released in May by the dating app Hilly found that 55% of Gen Z women refuse to date a man if he’s not at least willing to go to therapy

No this doesn't apply to Chad, why do you ask? In all seriousness, therapy is an S tier betabuxxing strategy. It shows he has the disposable income to throw away on virtue signaling, signals obedience to the gynocentric culture and by extension any whore he's in a relationshit with, and most importantly he's out of the house for an hour a week so his wife can fuck Tyrone in peace.

That's what Mikhaela Peterson did to justify cheating on and leaving her S+ tier husband, who is literally one of those rare top 1% guys.

Was that before or after Andrew Tate got it for free?

The dating app is HILY (Hey, I Like You), can't expect the garbage MSM to even identify their sources correctly.

Having had used that app (dont waste your time) I can tell you that it is infested with blue-haired, problematic-glasses wearing reddit users. They have a community section of the app which is basically a message board, and it looks exactly like the front page of reddit.

Way to many fatties on that app who think their millennial 'so quirky' humor they got from BBT and the fact they have a useless degree and a shitty adult daycare job makes them top rate. The only normal women on there seem to be bots.

Not so sure about that. All the chicks that go to therapy are drugged out of their damn minds. Birth control is probably the least awful thing in their systems. I wouldn't expect healthy sexuality from them in the slightest.

And any self-respecting man should refuse to date any woman in that 55%.

Don't worry, that's only 55% of what terminally online survey takers want the surveyor to think. You can probably safely quarter that for translating to actual actions by real world people.

But yes, no man should waste an ounce of his breath on such ruined bloodsuckers except to publicly berate them for being an ugly tick in the armpit of productive society.

The guy just needs to man up, start seeing a therapist, work sixty-hour weeks to buy her everything she wants, take her to all the places she wants to go, never look at another woman, drop all his friends but respect her going out with her girl and guy friends no-questions-asked, give her access to his phone and all his bank accounts, and never ask for sex. It's only fair after all. /s

(unless the guy is a chad, then he can do anything he wants)

"Willing" is such a weird line in the sand to draw, because it isn't even intent. It's theoretical intent in a theoretical scenario. If my leg was blown off, I'd do physio-therapy to get my mechanical one working in unison with me as soon as possible. "Willing" to do a therapy is weird. Maybe if my leg was blown off, I wouldn't want to do physiotherapy? I'm not in that position. In my healthy position, I'm willing to do the theoretical.

I could probably help more men giving them a free hour per week at a shooting range or being able to ride small hovercrafts.

A lot of men benefit more from active events than the passive events like therapy that WOMEN enjoy.

That's literally an entire sub-industry in the therapy market. "Man Therapy" (the concept, not the actual website, its called a lot of similar things) is literally "a solid dude takes you camping, to the gym, to the wood shop and you guys talk about shit while doing man shit."

It actively exists. And its completely suppressed or ignored by the wider Psychology field because they hate anything that might appeal to men in a way that doesn't treat them as broken women.

But the data is there. We know that things like that work with men 1000% more than talk therapy ever did. And the fact that they don't even know it exists to mention it says all you need about how deceitful this all is.

Just an hour a week where their partner had to actually act like a partner instead of a parasite extracting maximal resources would help a lot of guys I see in relationships.

Or maybe an evening at the pub. Sit them next to a dude who has lots of life experience and is willing to hear them out and offer brutally honest but helpful advice.

This is exactly what started to pull me out of the depression I was in during my early 20s.

Article still fails to address that therapy for men and women is different. The entire therapy system is designed to work for women which is why it doesn't often work for men.

"Women discuss their problems face to face. Men discuss their problems shoulder to shoulder."

Is the saying, or near abouts, used to refer to this. Sitting down and talking 1 on 1 with someone is more likely to work for women while men have a preference towards doing something.

"Human beings" vs "Human doings", is another way of putting it.

If you want a man to open up about something you need to give him 3 things to achieve that.

  1. Time. He will talk when he is ready.

  2. Space. Sitting in a room, no matter the size, will not work. Men need to be active while the time passes.

  3. Safety. This usually means it needs to be another man he talks to who will have the inate understanding about talking about personal things, and won't turn around and blab to everyone 5 minutes later.

Now it's very, very, VERY likely once these 3 things are sorted it may still take hours, and hours, and hours or both mundane working and chatting about things completely unrelated to whatever the topic at hand is, this is mostly because it's letting the guy feel things out with whomever he is talking to and judging if he can trust him enough to actually open up. And when he does it will probably appear random and spontaneous to whatever else is going on rather than having been prompted to do so from some external stimuli.

tl;dr article is part of the problem perpetuating women-centric therapy methods for men despite it [still] not working.

Therapy doesn't work for men because men need to solve the problem instead of endlessly talking about it. If your job is making you miserable you need a new job. Paying $300/hr to talk about it leaves you miserable and $300/hr poorer, and the time you wasted could have been spent on finding another job. Women make up their own problems, so they can make up their own solutions in therapy and say it "works".

A male-oriented "therapist" is called a "consultant". They look at whatever it is, identify the core problem, and sometimes even one or two possible solutions.

I'm guessing some stealth-feminist downvoted you, but you're 100% correct.

Back when I was in the dating market that was one of the things that annoyed me most about women: they just wanted to talk, and talk, and talk, and then even admitted they weren't actually interested in solutions, they just wanted to have their "feelings validated".

Nevermind not designed for them, more than half of it is actively hostile towards them. Certain women look for a guy in therapy not because he's doing something to better himself, but because it means someone has already done part of the work of brainwashing him into thinking he's always the problem and that giving up more of his time and money to someone else is always the solution.

Women go to therapy for validation, not advice for self-improvement. Women want men to go to therapy to be told they're wrong and their girlfriend is right.

Most women say they hate going to guys with a problem and they try to help generate solutions instead of just commiserate with them.

Most women also say they love taking their problems to a therapist.

Solutions are not what they're peddling.

My life didn't improve at all with therapy and in fact it degraded substantially. When I found out that my depression and anxiety were because of my living conditions, I changed them and have had no such "mental health challenges" ever since. Therapy is a fucking useless scam for women to spend their adult daycare money on.

You should have started your thread with 'New York Post' in the title. Everyone would be immediately clued in that a worthless feminist had written the article.
