Let me phasuze, my post is not an attack on all women. I'm just noticing these rapid shifts are causing changes. Women have made progress and still want to go up, and marry up or with someone on their level.
Guys realize he can only get status by competing with other men, nit women. He risks losing status by losing to women, so he's competing less.
My experience and observation is that men, 100X more than women, seek out self-improvement, and this has resulted in a large portion of men having their life and mind together to a degree far surpassing even the top 10% of women out there. It has also been my experience and observation that women's standards are ludicrously out of touch in that they want a man and think they deserve a man who is substantially better than them in every category across the board. The combination of these two things has resulted in the bulk of women being not really much of an asset at all to the life of the top 40-50% of men, and if you're a guy in the top 5%, you're basically never going to meet a woman who is your equal, let alone meet one you are compatible with and have chemistry with. People are single nowadays because you have a bunch of women who are essentially 5s and 6s when looked at holistically who think they deserve a man who is a 9 or 10. The male 10s don't view these women as long term partners, but the women don't view men who are on their level as long term partners either. Everyone is disappointed and unhappy with the opposite sex.
Depends what you mean by "self-improvement". If you mean running a slightly faster Turkey Trot, that doesn't really equate to earning a college degree and running a successful business or being a successful lawyer or dentist.
My take on it is slightly different. I see men who make these kinds of comments as dating hairdressers or welfare recipients, or similar. Meantimes, all the hot college chicks are working as lawyers and dentists and MDs and still have a career to go back to once they're done having kids. Guys like you aren't marrying these kind of women.
Also, men over-estimate both their own attractiveness and how attracted women are to them. There used to be a guy in my training group who thought every woman was attracted to them because they attended the training group. Oh how we laughed when we saw his Tinder Bio, where he purposively described himself as attractive (nope) and how he was tired of meeting women who couldn't make up their minds and weren't honest about their feelings.
Women use their ability to date and sleep with anyone, and now that they don't need men for income they've gone off the deep end.Join the patriarchy today - ...

Look at Russian long-jumper Darya Klishina. She's an absolute stunner and could date any guy she wants. Instead, she remained single and had a kid by using a sperm bank.

Pretty darn sure she didn't need to use a sperm bank. Putin himself as the father is more likely. He knocked up Russia's best gymnast and now she lives like a Renaissance empress in Monaco. The father is almost certainly some billionaire and now she's financially set for life. Sperm bank donors can't afford real estate in Miami these days.
3 things on my mind in hs...girls, running and girls. Carried over beyond that but the word "confidence" was broight up earlier. Social media doesnt afford face to face testing of male confidence. Women dont have time to be coaching the boys up when they are looking for MEN. There just arent as many these days because boys sit around and make other peoples fantasies their reality because they have no confidence/practice to do it themselves. The posters here blaming women arent men or these women wouldnt be acting the way they are. Girls need their father in their lives. Not enough of that to go around these days. Those that are raising their children right have daughters that are seeking out the studs and they know how to do it the right way. The rest of you just deserve each other until you can figure it out if you ever do.
If you need a good podcast to listen to on a long run, here is one with Ezra Klein interviewing Richard Reeves about why men are falling so far behind. Reeves is not a "men's rights advocate" like Jordan Peterson or Andrew Tate but he is aligned with the belief that millions of American men are being told they are unneeded, unwanted, and under-skilled. He is looking for answers, not pointing fingers...

My highschool was pre-smart phone. So a girl wrote me a real letter in pen, this was my sophomore year, and she put a lipstick kiss on it.
That incident gave me the confidence for high school. I used it as my anchor image whenever I needed a confidence boost.
I have one of those lipstick-kiss letters in an old photo album from high school as well. Getting a note from your girlfriend between classes was always a nice boost!

I don't know what happened to that letter. I'm not a saver and have lost most of the stuff from my youth in the intervening years.

A large part of the problem is the absence of a strong father. Dont need a podcast for that. Poor overall leadership with the heart of a strong father that truly loves and cares for their children is a big part of the downfall of Western society. Dare I say the lack of God in a persons life? Drugs, pornography, behind screen hate etc...all part of a demonic surge filling vacuums where self respect, honor, civility, education, love etc... are shrinking.

So, there was this girl in high school, a couple of years younger, who would actually faint when I came around, Funny story how I came to find out about it, but had to do with the x-ctry coach separating our practices so she wouldn't have the chance (she was on JV and I was varsity.
We did get together a little before I graduated, and I saw her once when I was in college and she would barely talk to me and no longer cared for me.
Last year a women I worked with fell for me and starting making a lot of unwanted advances over phone calls, texts, etc. It made me really uncomfortable and being in this position made me re-think everything I ever thought. It really sucks and now I know I should have told her to stop, but it was too awkward and I just pretended it wasn't happening. Eventually she gave up.

Look out your window, see that car across the street.
Tucker Carlson may be an idiot on Ukraine but he's 100% right about an article he wrote in '18--men need to step up, get educated and get back to competing with women in the fields of industry, education or elsewhere. Otherwise, in the classroom and the boardroom, they will fall behind.
The education system neglects boys but at the same time men who are smart enough to work hard need to go to college and keep up with/surpass the women. Don't be THAT guy who just plays video games all day and lives at home...work hard and get the girl. Or kick butt at a corporate job and shine out...women respect men who work like dogs. No woman, R or D, wants a lazy guy.
If guys step up and get educated out of HS, the media won't keep parroting how Gen Z/Millennial guys are lazy, etc. etc. Go to college!
If not college, do well in the trades and go to trade school! The problem with that is some women will see a guy in the trades as lesser than them. One of my wife's friends is resentful that her husband makes more than she does (she's a teacher with a MA and he's a mechanic with a HS degree). But Mechanics are always in demand.
Guys need to control their situation the best and be the best they can be--it will improve their odds of getting women!
A lady in the streets, a chef in the kitchen and a whore in bed only happens for alpha men. Women cant be women if men wont be men. Believe me, real women want to be real women with real men who will protect and provide for them. This is the way we were designed to be. So many confused leople these days.
Can't believe the downvotes on this.
I'd truly like to see the 4 individuals. Probably like one angry woman and 3 males on 80mpw with severely depleted T levels
WHY CANT I GET A DATE I RUN SUB 17 5K.
Angry little manlets
If you live in Ohio, you may be in luck.
There's also plenty of women now in the 17-19 min. 5k bracket anyways. Lots of local- and regional-level women in Central Ohio (Greater Columbus and surrounding areas) with times like 17-19 in the 5k, sub-41 in the 10k, sub-1:35 (some as fast as 1:23) in the 13.1 and sub-3:20 (some as fast as 2:38) in the 26.2. And most are college-educated, have great jobs and great, balanced lives. Some are on local racing teams and/or clubs.
So for a decently fast guy, there's a lot of women in Ohio to choose from who like running and are good at it.
This thread is stupid. When incels fight trolls, the trolls always win.
If you are really reading this thread for self-help on how to meet girls: (1) don't turn to incels and trolls for advice, and (2) focus on something else that society values - like a career - and friends and women will follow.
Money is sometimes a great equalizer and a good self-esteem boost for men, even if money is not the be-all in life either. Having a good job also makes you feel worthy and not inadequate in social situations. Others will make more than you but if you're doing well for yourself it's not a big deal either--after I landed my new role, I don't envy the guys and girls who make 100k like I did when I made 38k.
I finally landed a great job and love it, and am paid very well, plus it dovetails with my writing ability and my college degree in journalism did not go to waste (technical writing). It's given me more confidence when talking to others and I'm not afraid to mention my job when people ask in social situations.
At my old job, I felt ashamed because it was a dead-end job with no future. They laid a bunch of us off a week after my accident (not due to performance but they said it was only a temp job (which was news to us at the time) due to COVID). Luckily I found a much better job 3 weeks after that!
My wife was very supportive of my switch to the new job--she was before and understood it was a temporary role (mortgages) until I could land a writing job!
Because women nowadays are focused on career and social media. The only room they have for a boyfriend is if he's some good-looking "boy toy" to add as an accessory.
Blogsnark (which is usually composed of funny, sarcastic female posters) even snarks on female instarunners who are focused on career and running social media cred...so much of social media has made our world fake. And the comparison trap IS REAL!

Are you so sure?
This really sounds like a total runner dork fantasy, but maybe I'm wrong.
I bet a woman who is a decent runner would like a running mate with a respectable time, whatever it is, even slower than hers.
What I do believe would be more important to her is that they are fun to be with, upbeat, and fairly appealing physique, even if a little bit of upper body definition might be costing them a few seconds per mile.
