I agree, but there are no good solutions in today's modern era if you want to start a family.
You need to be a strong, masculine, man who can provide, protect, and cherish a woman so that she can inspire, rejuvenate, and satisfy you.
Those are all the exact same descriptions men use when they describe what their relationship was like before they found out their wife cheated on them.
Basically, the men who put in the most effort to keep their wife seem to be the ones who get cheated on the most.
Especially when she has kids, and eventually grand kids.
You should really start watching SSM, there is about an equal amount of stories of seemingly stable relationships where the man does everything right, has kids, takes care of the household, and the wife still cheats. It's quite an eye-opener. Troy has multiple channels, thousands of videos, and it's rare that the guy who gets cheated on is some scumbag who was failing at his manly duties -- it's always the guys who give it their all to try to please their wife.
But your perspective is going to poison your relationships going forwards if you keep it up.
Not at all. It's actually helped me reflect on some major bullets I dodged in the past and put into perspective that had I married some women decades ago I would have likely ended up on channels like SSM crying about being cheated on, because I used to have the same blue-pilled outlook on how to treat a woman and manage a household.
EDIT: I should also point out that 70% of women in relationships are already courting multiple other suitors, and 50% of "happily married" women already have a backup replacement for their husband: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/relationships/love-sex/50-of-women-in-relationship-have-a-backup-partner-heres-what-you-need-to-know/photostory/105627606.cms
So basically, in today's Western society, no matter what you do, she is not yours, it's just your turn. Given your perspective on today's relationships it doesn't sound like you're married, though.
Me, personally? Way too old to be starting a family, and I have neither the energy, the patience, nor willingness to invest in the resources to do so.
However, for the young lads out there who care about starting a family as Socalwackjob mentioned, they will have to gather their wits about them and work hard to build resources so that they can get out of Western countries. If you're in the U.K., head east to Poland or Hungary before globohomo completely takes over there (there is still some hope in the Eastern European states).
If you're in the U.S., save up and head to the Philippines -- while there are some cases of passport-bros being murdered, led astray, or swindled, it requires the same sort of diligence and intellectual wherewithal as anywhere else. Be smart about where you go and smarter about who you court.
But as others have said, there is no hope of casually finding a mate in the West. They are far too corrupted. Some men may get lucky and find some lass in the countryside of Wales, England, or Scotland, or somewhere in a remote mid-western town in the U.S., but otherwise the pickings are too slim, and the juice simply is not worth the squeeze.
So in this case, the classic saying 'Go west, young man" needs to be inverted to, "Go east, young man".
Ah, my mistake then. You're correct in that regard.
Men need community and they need families.
Sure, but the laws prevent that from being possible in the West, and most young men cannot afford to uproot into another country without sizable resources.
The problem is that no-fault-divorce means every man who gets married is at risk of losing who he marries to a whim of her feelings, and these videos of women abandoning their husband over a moment of "feelz" are widespread and growing.
80% of divorces are initiated by women, and marriages these days are designed to reward the most disloyal of the two partners, which majority of the time happens to be women.
There is too much access to monkey branching suitors as well. Practically every woman has been convinced she can "do better", even when she can't. And so they all chase after the same top 15% of Chad/Tyrone whenever the opportunity arises, and every woman on social media basically has that opportunity presented to them constantly.
You are right that men need community and they need families, but you need an actual woman willing to start a family for that to happen. The thing is, a loyal wife who actually loves her husband is an absolute rarity; a unicorn in a sea of donkeys.
same for Red Dead Redemption 2
I could have tolerated the absolutely boring mission structures (all the open-world stuff was a lot more fun than the missions themselves, especially the hunting) with the slow walking/riding while listening to people prattle incessantly, if they had at least stayed true to the era. But the anachronistic liberalism depicted throughout the game -- and having Arthur always side with progressive standpoints despite having no reason to -- completely put me off the game.
Also, the atrocious gun combat made me never want to play it again. Who thought it was a good idea to prevent players from properly running and hip-firing? Or why do they auto-switch you off of melee weapons after doing a takedown attack? There were some bizarre design decisions in that game that frustrate me even to this day because they got so much of it right and yet the core of it is just extremely upsetting. I really wanted to go around axing people, but the auto-switch off the melee weapons after finishing an attack was ridiculous.
Except that's never actually explored -- they make it seem cool and trendy, as opposed to it actually being dehumanising. The anime, strangely enough, actually went into the dehumanising aspect and that's why people liked it so much, because it actually explored the lore surrounding the human condition that the game completely forgot about.
This has been my experience whenever I dabble in normie spaces as well.
They recognise that something is amiss, and very lightly crticise that it is happening, but refuse to acknowledge the sinister motivations behind the push.
Any party claiming to represent the plebeian with a woman at the forefront is controlled opposition.
I was just about to type this out. Back in the day splash screens were also loading screens.
The only splash screen I used to enjoy watching was Interplay's old laser etching FMV. That was a really cool screen and it also completely matched the vibe of games like Cyberia.

What the actual fuck is going on with Mothman and that fucking giant?
Book of Enoch fetishists.
There will be the typical apologists saying... "Hurr, but she's still in a dress, so Capcom is based!"
It's never an inch with these people, it's always a mile (or more). Expect more changes as people dig through the game.
When will be have incest for pride month addon?
No joke, it will probably be a few years. They need to warm people up to the idea of legalising pederasty, so the next step is to start bridging fetishes together and making them common among their media properties before they start the "MAP acceptance" movement.
Seems you and I share the exact same modus operandi when it comes to intaking too much of this stuff. I skim the basics but basically try to stay out of consuming too much news because it really can wreck your perception of things if you get too into the weeds.
Cyberpunk 2077 was mostly non-woke with just a couple of stinky moments
You forgot removing Male/Female and replacing it with Type 1/Type 2. Adding in tranny options to appease the loud trannies who complained about a lack of tranny options and feeding into the alphabet nonsense.
But these days, most people really don't seem to mind woke games, and as I mentioned some years ago, the barometer for what people will consider woke will keep getting pushed further and further Left because the Overton Window keeps getting dragged further and further left.
Also the removal of Male/Female(for body type 1/2) in MH and making the armors the same across genders really showed some bending the knee to this dumb shit.
It always starts small and escalates -- the more people accept the inches given, the easier it is for them to take miles.
I dunno if it's there or if I'm putting in there.
Your first instinct is the correct instinct.
There really is no such thing as coincidence when it comes to institutions that require deliberate structure and format for deployment.
Love the way it looks and I have a similar mouse that I use for much of the same reasons (but not for gaming).
I have a Ragnok for FPS gaming, which is pretty cool and surprisingly comfortable even for long gaming sessions.
Precisely... Rorschach is another character that fits the bill. Alan Moore tried to make him such a parody of the American Conservative Right that a lot of what he had Rorschach do and say actually resonated with reasonable people who felt like being hard on crime and removing government padding and social systems is a good thing.
We also saw it happen recently with a resurgence in popularity with The Punisher, which is why Marvel has been going way out of their way to emasculate and humiliate the character as much as possible, especially during these times.
I guess in these times, you can just go right down the list of Lefty writers trying to portray a certain Right-wing-adjacent character as a villain only for their moral code and conduct to widely resonate with the general audience and for Lefties to inevitably go... "No, you're not so supposed to react to the character like that!!!"
Yup. I loved Cavill as Superman, but hated how he was portrayed in the movies.
Him and NickMercs are hard nopers when it comes to faggotry. They snidely mock it without saying anything too obvious, but Doc did a bit of a skit about the pronoun nonsense in Starfield and mocked Bethesda and Pete Hines.
Plus, he uninstalled Call of Duty when Activision removed Nick's skin from the game after Nick told the groomers to stop targeting kids. He just showed a screen of him clicking "Uninstall" and saying "nope".
It's pretty obvious Doc leans right, and one of those talking heads on YouTube made a good point that it's election season in America and they don't want certain people influencing their audience a certain way. Using this nothing-burger to get Doc to stay silent and not influence his audience in any particular way makes a lot of sense from the Left's point of view.
Soldier Boy really was the biggest backfire for them ever.
They tried so hard to make him the villain, but funnily enough, despite his upbringing, he still turned out to be one of the most loyal and honourable characters on the show and held steadfast to his word.
Despite his flaws and shortcomings, Soldier Boy showcased what it meant to overcome your roadblocks and get the job done no matter the cost.
It's funny because his content is all over social media being used by a lot of guys to basically showcase that he was a badass and an overcomer, and what it means to be a real man. Lots of those shorts have gone viral featuring him, and Jensen Ackles did a superb job humanising him and making him root-worthy.
I guess that's why -- as you mentioned -- they had to triple down on everything and push their propaganda even harder.
I think one variation of it is called Mother Hen? Or at least the version I remember. But it's funny you mention it because I've been thinking about that story a lot recently.
This here is one example that has boiled my blood so much whenever I see it. I'm going to cut myself off from going further, because the examples are numerous and I keep coming across variations of the example you just used and if I keep thinking about it, my blood pressure will hit unhealthy levels.
And nothing you give is worth whatever they give in return, because the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Whatever you give is pointless given that they are incentivised to take, and take, and take, and have zero reason to give in return because there is always another sucker or simp waiting around the corner thanks to no-fault divorce.
Any guy wasting his time trying to play these silly games of ebbing and flowing with another human being is just wasting his time. That's precisely why I suggested able men find a proper conservative wife in a place where they know their role without any of the silly games Western men have been brainwashed to believe they must play to attain a woman.
No, reality did that. It's called pattern recognition. Rich Cooper, Michael Sartain, and SSM consistently point to their own lives and plenty of men writing in that highlight a lot of truths that men are uncovering for themselves through hurt and heartbreak. When the stats, anecdotal and empirical evidence all point to the same thing, it's time to stop playing a rigged game. I get where you're coming from, but it's a position of naïveté.
It's funny because one guy followed all of SSM's red-flag checks, had been with his wife for years, and she still cheated on him. Turned out she had a secondary phone she was using so when he checked her main social media account and main phone, he couldn't find any red flags.
One-third of all marriages are sexless, and one-third of all men who take paternity tests find out they are not the father: https://dnatesting.com/30-of-men-not-the-father/
The reality is that most Western women out there marry their beta male for security/finances (a retirement plan basically) while cheating on him with Chad/Tyrone.
You can be incensed at the reality of it all, but it doesn't change reality.
