Our sport has a disproportionate number of male participants with "little man syndrome". A lot of guys here with huge shoulder chips and the need to feel superior. Life's hard when you always have something to prove because, deep down, you don't like yourself very much.
Lots of projection going on too it seems.

Forums full of angry men. Also why do posts keep getting removed?

A lot of the guys here are just studs and competitive...it's a lifestyle. I see guys who are killing it and that drive carries over into the career world! It's not a bad thing to be a grinder.
I hope you're joking. The passive aggression and/or outward hostility are not signs of health or of successful competition.

Kinda being sarcastic but at the same time, a lot of men and women I know that do marathons under 3:15 are also type-As, educated (MA/MS and above) and have great jobs/careers and move up the corporate ladder easily. So there is a loose correlation between running talent/dedication and career success/being aggresive and going for it in life.
It's a cruel world and maybe some of these runner folks are doing what they can to get ahead in life and stay ahead of everyone else. It could be that simple?!
I was on a date and I got Jamin’ed so it ended quickly. She just bolted as soon as we met in person for a drink. Then I noticed this scrawny high voice guy across the room was having a BudLight bottle so I got mad at him, and browsing on my smart phone the Nikki Hiltz hairdo on the front page of LetsRun.com made me angry, and then my retirement savings I was all in on with Bitcoin ETF took a plunge. So it was already a horrible day. Then Dr Fauci came on the TV screen and I got very angry when he said he is the science. That year of wearing masks was criminal. I wanted to throw my ice water glass at the screen.
mean, median and mode
I stopped making posts here for this reason. Lots of assumptions and personal attacks from clearly miserable and insecure people.
