Not sure that was what was going on here though. You may have jumped the gun. Then again, maybe not...who knows. Just seemed a weird outburst, which is probably why you got downvoted.

Eh, I don't mind. Basically anything that's said that doesn't fit people's preconceived notions gets downvoted.

One could reasonably argue that a bunch of the current issues that cause people to be "tired of dating" rest with modern women.

Let's say that it is, though if you read about the kind of stuff women put up with, I'm not at all persuaded that it's all their fault.

That would still make this title inaccurate, because it's saying that it's a "women's wealth extraction scam", when it's not about women, it's not extracting wealth, nor is it a scam. It's just people living together for lower bills. Shocker, I know.

Perhaps he is a woman-hating, Imp-adjacent person

I thought of mentioning Imp, but considering the events of late, I thought it was in poor taste.

I mean, to be fair...many such cases. I agree, there's no point obsessing, or being defeatist, but it certainly does happen.

Not just that it does happen, it is a recognized evolutionary strategy. My problem is with these people who start crying that it is universal.

OP may go to the gym many times a week, who knows? Also, "alpha" is a mindset. Yeah, exercise/testosterone helps, and people should be healthy and active, but you don't just become alpha. It takes a lot more than just going to the gym. And alpha isn't just a buff dude.

As you say, you don't just "become" it. But I disagree that it's just a mindset. You gotta have something to show for it. If you're a balding, fat, unemployed guy who is very awkward, your "mindset" doesn't make you "alpha".
