I don't bother myself.
People have too much baggage nowadays. My interactions with people generally just leave me drained and disappointed.
I don't have much to offer anyway. And judging by this many aren't even interested in money now.
Charles Darwin wouldn't want to miss a second of this.

Jeez
My mate is on Bumble. He’s nearly 63. He’s not bad looking but not amazing
He gets plenty of dates
Yet to find that special someone
A very different experience to that extremely gloomy take by the video maker. The whole thing seems ludicrously pessimistic and sensationalist despite the voice over trying to sound authoritative

Stop watching Love Island, mate.
Looks like incel propaganda to me, people aren't that shallow. It's all about good looks, money and status according to the video maker, no mention of good conversation intelligence or common interests which is the usual attraction as far as I'm concerned.

Incel propaganda is exactly what went through my mind
Definite agenda from the video maker who is promoting a very negative and unrealistic point of view
None of it bears any comparison to what I see going on around me across all the generations

I notice that the video is called 100 Blackpill beliefs in one video According to a post on reddit... Red pill - to see the truth (according to incels this means to see that women are all whores that will never date you) Blue pill - to continue deluding yourself (according to incels this is to keep trying to give women attention and compliments in the hope that they will love you) Black pill - to understand that you are so ugly and unlovable that women will never give you a chance, so there is no point in living and you should kill yourself What a world eh? What Is The Blackpill Movement, The Dangerous Belief System That Radicalises Young Men? Incel ideology is a worldview that justifies viewing women as objects and justifies extreme violence against them.
www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2021/08/10633104/blackpill-incels-extremism-terrorism-ukReally depressing article.
All of which makes me even surer this vid is nothing at all to do with modern dating but a piece of dangerous propaganda

Trying not to generalise here but young men really seem to have lost their way in the modern world. I have far more interesting conversations in the shop with younger women than I do with males. I get a real lack of confidence vibe off a few of them. Are they seeking solace in these ridiculous forums on the net? And the garbage they are subsequently reading just reinforces their inadequacy?

The vibe I got from the video is someone who has been successful gloating over it and saying some have no chance so shouldn't bother but of course I could very well be wrong.
The pill thing was originally something in the Matrix film.

Agree PU But there's plenty of clued up young males too who are engaging and have plenty of interesting things to say too. But you know that's just my own experience and clearly there's loads of people who fall for this shit and it reinforces their sense of low self-esteem, anger and wanting to blame external factors The vibe I got from the video is someone who has been successful gloating over it and saying some have no chance so shouldn't bother but of course I could very well be wrong. The pill thing was originally something in the Matrix film. So you're saying the video maker is gloating? If so, what's his motivation? Trying to reduce competition? I see it as just pure propaganda from someone trying to promote incel culture I realise the pill thing goes back to the Matrix though think that was only red and blue - but could be wrong. The black pill is a new slant and v dangerous as the article I linked to demonstrates. Some vulnerable types not only top themselves but take a few innocents down with them. The last thing they need is to be consuming this sort of vid which just reinforces their sense of despair and anger The comments below the vid are all along the lines of "this is the truth", "I realise I'll never get a woman" etc. I dunno how you came across this vid Stu but I strongly recommend you delete it from your history otherwise YouTube will just think you want to watch more of this stuff and frankly it's not remotely healthy |

It's not the kind of video I'd normally watch because I don't have the desire or energy for dating or even one night stands.
But inceldom is obviously real (and has always been present to a lesser degree) and if the kind of statistics he's talking about have any basis in fact then it's a very serious problem for society.

I don’t believe a word of it. Where are his sources for the stats?
I question the agenda and motivation of the person who made it
Does it add to the sum total of human happiness?
Will it inspire feelings of possibility, wonder, positivity?
Not saying everything should do those things but life is short and to reinforce negativity seems a strange way to spend time
Plus there’s a lot to love about being single
Dance, laugh, walk, be kind, read a classic, do something for the community etc etc
Do not consume propaganda by bad actors
That’s my take, for what it’s worth

By way of coincidence, ITV2 aired Laura Whitmore Investigates Incels last night. All what we've talked about here, Blackpill etc. Disturbing individuals of different extremes interviewed, I actually felt concerned for Whitmore when she was talking to the nutter in the skull mask. General perspective I took from it, was these incels had a difficult upbringing and lack social skills and are now to projecting and blaming their inadequacies on women. You could pity them in some instances but if they are going to take their frustrations out on wider society with firearms, then they are terrorists and need to be neutralised.

Exactly that PU
I feel sorry for anyone caught in a cycle of negativity but once they start believing that their issues are caused by women and they want to do others harm then they're a risk to innocent people
