Alek Novy left an excellent comment on the evolutionary reason behind women telling men to man up, and why it made sense in the past but not today. The text in block quotes is from me. The rest is his comment.
1) I think there was a lot of competition in the past as well, but the competition was more regional and also more one-dimensional, i.e. you were fine if you had a job and a car, and could afford a house. Surely, life must have been a lot more easygoing back then.
2) Women are a lot more insecure because they compete based on looks with the entire world on TikTok and, even worse, they perceive filters as real so they cannot ever look as good as the other thots, even in cases where they have been blessed with exceptional genetics.
That reminds me of a theory I’ve never talked about. The female instinct to “shame” and tell men to “up their game” isn’t too retarded if you look at most of human history.
The way the female drive worked is that they looked at “the bottom 50% of men” as losers, and told them to get lost until they reach the top 50%. This meant it was hard work, but possible to become a “non-loser”.
With social and mass-media, that same instinct is based on the top 50% of the guys on their feeds. Which is actually the top 1% of men overall. That’s why women treat even high-quality guys as dogshit and tell them to “stop being a loser”.
The instinct was designed when she was comparing you against the 20 bachelors in a village.
‘This meant it was hard work, but possible to become a “non-loser”.’
At the same time as the bar has become so high that adjectives like “absurd” and “insane” hardly seem adequate, the motivation has disappeared as women no longer hold up their end of the bargain and any male knows this from the Internet well before puberty. AI and sexbots will complete the rout, though I can’t imagine a good outcome from all this.
‘With social and mass-media, that same instinct is based on the top 50% of the guys on their feeds. Which is actually the top 1% of men overall.’
There’s a certain amusing irony in seeing women utterly enslaved by the inventions (Internet, smartphones, social media) of nerds to whom they wouldn’t give the time of day in real life.
Your last point is excellent. A lot of women perceive technology as some kind of black box that appeared out of nowhere, not spending any thought about the effort that went into it. It is indeed tragic-comic that apps like Tinder or Instagram have been written by neckbeards who have essentially a zero chance of ever boning a hottie without paying for it. Even if women knew about this, they still would not care.
“A lot of women perceive technology as some kind of black box that appeared out of nowhere…”
Is this an example of female solipsism? I imagine being a hot chick and never wondering about all the hard work and effort that went into building civilization. I can have this thought experiment with any of my close male friends and it is easy to sympathize with humanity in the past and ponder how the present came to be. However, anytime I’ve ever tried to talk about something philosophical or of a conspiratorial nature with women it flies over their heads. And it’s not because they’re stupid or anything. It’s more like they just aren’t inquisitive in that way I suppose. I remember the last chick telling me about some hypothetical phenomenon I conjured up that she would rather just not think about it as it makes life more complicated than it needs to be. I can’t imagine simply being content with the everyday and ordinary. To be fair, I think a lot of modern men could be like this too.
I think this is an example of female solipsism. Interestingly, this real-world observation also runs counter to the official narrative that women are oh-so emphatic. I had a bizarre conversation with my ex-wife once. We walked past a large construction site and on one side you saw those containers for temporary housing. She wondered if this was housing for refugees and when I pointed out to her that this is where the construction workers live, with many of them possibly being quite far from their family, she thought I was bullshitting her. When I asked her where the construction workers would come from, she was nonplussed, as if this was an entirely new thought for her. In the end, she insisted that the construction workers all live in this city and that those stacked containers must have some other purpose.
