Honestly, I don't know. I think in the modern world, as long as you can speak English properly, you can live almost anywhere and have meaningful socialization with people. However, not everyone speaks English. I used to frequent Japan on scientific trips, and I felt really bad not being able to communicate with most of them properly. If I could speak Japanese, I'm sure I would know much more about their culture, and my time in Japan would be much more exciting.
But yes, I think, at least, nowadays, when all noticeable books, movies, games, etc. are translated into English and most educated people can somewhat understand/speak English, knowing extra languages is no longer that useful. In the past, it was different.
I like porn because I dont need to go and find a girl, waste my time and money and in return get drama and shit. Most girls are mental anyway, next thing you know shes pregnant and you are fucked for life.
Real life relationships have always taken work, this isn't something new, nor has feminism made it take more work than it did before. If you're strong and tall, expect to get lots of pussy. If you're short and soft and doughy, expect only the most desperate of women to seek you out for sex. If you're somewhere in between, expect a bit of work to get your vag.
As the article points out, porn and other outlets give you instant gratification, no work involved. We've had porn for a long time, but its access was fairly limited. The internet is largely what has caused this surge in "lost boys".
It's like when people say that LFR is what killed that sense of community and world PvP, when in reality it was being able to queue for dungeons.
2014 Gamergate: "If you want games without hyper sexualized female characters and representation, then learn to code!"
2023: "What's with all these massively successful games with ugly (realistic) women? How could this have happened?!"
There is very much something to this
Just to note: very impressive thread with a lot of testimony/confessions from men about their feelings, and though I don't share their views I am impressed with the sharing
I'll be honest: when I posted the OP, I figured the thread would be more about the shaming language of the article, technology replacing relationships, maybe a few funny bits about porn and gaming, etc
Where the thread ended up however is a surprisingly honest look at men's lives and experiences and how feminism has been incredibly toxic for social harmony
I once lurked on the Red Pill subreddit for months, because I'd heard it was an horrible place full of misogny. I also read the sidebar blogs during that time.
What I saw was that the misogny and anger came from those fresh to the subreddit, disillusioned men unhappy that they'd followed the advice of older generations and women still ignored them.
I understood, because I'd bought into the Disney bullshit too for a time, before I became a cynical bastard from years of being bullied at school with neither teachers nor police doing anything to stop me being assaulted.
As the times I'd tried fighting back earned me swift punishment from the teachers, I was pretty much only there in body until I was old enough to make it to college, where I saw the person I'd become in someone else--a quiet sort, driven to weirdness through bullying and social isolation.
I learned from watching his mistakes, made friends, and shook off at least some of the damage that had been caused to me.
He didn't.
I'll never be a social butterfly, I never would have been, but what do you think happens when a man follows the script he's been given for years and then realises other people have wasted his life for him?
He snaps. He snaps, because he sees the men women have told him he shouldn't be getting rewarded with sex, and he finally understands that sexual attraction isn't something you can negotiate.
It's primal. It's why physical strength, dominance and social power in men are attractive to women--physical strength being the one that they can see all the time.
And those lost men who stumble across TRP are angry at being lied to for years, and desperate for a solution.
And the answer is "improve yourself."
Some do things the right way. Many don't, then lash out when women still won't give them the time of day.
Others decide "fuck it, I've wasted my life" and play games because they don't think it's worth the effort.
And others still go full-on MGTOW or women-hating.
It became clear that it wasn’t realistic to try to get the audience back to being more hardcore, as it had been in the past. -- Tom Chilton
Or to the 80-90% of men that women apparently think are below average, really.
No money to chase bitches due to no employment. No future anywhere. Political elite setting up race wars for shits and giggles. Women being legit stupid in driving totalitarian self-hating shit like feminism (and if you think I just insulted you you deserve it. If you're not actively resisting it you're enabling it). At least fascism worked, feminism is prolonged suicide while trying to make everyone else so miserable they'd want to kill themselves too. And then there's the fact that there's going to be no more Western civilization if no one starts making all of this worth it for men who are getting shat on left and right, demonized by the ones they'd kind of want to be with but there's no kind of reasonable path whatsoever to anywhere. Plus modern women aren't exactly rock solid either, mentally or physically. There's almost no average to begin with any more. It's either fitness FITNESS which is even better when it's just an excuse to put "sporty guys " on your Tinder profiles or it's being so far above healthy weight that no self-respecting man even could be a good sport and put up an erection. They're inauthentic and frigid emotionally. They're no longer girly or feminine. Anywhere you go they demand to be with you and your attention. Solipsistic shitholes.
The funny thing is that you can't even talk to young women any more without the ever-expectant bitch judging your worth for fucking her soon-carcass even if you just wanted to ask the figurative time of day.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT YOUNG MEN TO GAIN ANY KIND OF POSITIVE EXPERIENCES ABOUT WOMEN LIKE THIS? WHY WOULD WE EVEN WANT TO BE WITH THEM NOW?
Then dont be with them? I really dont get why people think, that they need a person of the opposite gender so badly. Lot of women are alwyas like : there are no real men anymore and a lot of guys think bad of women ...
Stop looking and crying. People can live without a partner.
When you consider what problems the men of today face it is probably a lot safer to go virtual.. The chances of having ones life ruined are I would think a lot less in a virtual environment..

True but when people are getting accused of something that at the time was consensual by both parties.. To only go and accuse one party of wrong doing because of want for a better word would be remorse after the fact can lead to things like this happening..
It seems a lot of people are upset because they think if they do the right steps they'll get a girl. Things don't work like that.
Well...not really. A class of young students having an unrefined view of history and politics doesn't really represent our society as a whole.
Social harmony: Women being thankful that there are men out there to take care of them, since they are seen as lesser humans by society. Lining up for a husband. Men's fear of women empowerment is both pathetic and frighting. Are we supposed to be ok with oppressing half the world because we're afraid of working harder to find a mate?
Mother pus bucket!
Why yes, I'd rather have both sexes happy for doing something nice for each other instead of fighting, yes. Was that a rhetorical question? Women expect it or can just fall back on it and be content. Don't tell me you've found employment that somehow satisfies you as a person, because that is, shall we say, fairly rare.
Also what empowerment? Who gave them power and why? Why should they have power they have no ability to control for good? And since when is improving the life of a loved one immensely in ways you could not have foreseen before... some fucking how oppressing?
