@RadixVerum Probably a lot, but off the bat I can tell you women never, EVER ‘get’ us in any meaningful way. Guys don’t think about status the same way, at least not the ones you would like.
Women will extrapolate male behavior by basically projecting themselves onto guys, and say their model is very accurate….but it’s only accurate for feminine, weak men playing by the girl’s social rulebook. Niggers buying $800 gucci belts to waddle around at the mall, chunky wokesters with patchy beards begging to suck the toes of haggard, soul-deadened whores, but not a man whose father passed down the “OS” of male socialization.
The guys women want - the ones with strength and quality - don’t think about ‘status’ the same way as women do, they’re content to stand alone, as long as they’re right.
@RadixVerum I know there’s a lot to chew on here, but come on. The author of the study doesn’t look like someone who’s been to the oil fields. She’s never put on a mask to watch someone demonstrate a weld. She’s never ripped a 1/8 inch hangnail after getting solvents all over her hands.
Listening to women about this when they describe blue-collar men is like listening to the 5’2 obese weirdos on the incel subreddit when they describe all women as an inveterate, animalistic nympho-mercenary. Not enough experience, certainly not enough breadth to describe the phenomena at play in any reasonable capacity.
Men certainly aren’t the ones looking at the douche down the street with a college degree making 30% more of them feeling inadequate about ‘status’. They may feel regret at not pursuing a different line of work, but any negative sentiments comparing themselves to other guys - something that’s pretty rare to begin with - is nothing like the angst his wife feels when she talks to college guys’ wife and hears “oh, so is your hubby still just welding?“
@WashedOutGundamPilot @RadixVerum Yeah, it certainly couldn’t be because prices have skyrocketed and the places most of us work went “We made record profits this year keep it up.” “Oh, so we’re getting raises?” “No, we can’t afford that.”
@Codeki @RadixVerum “hmmm….clearly this man is just insecure and jealous. Probably has a teensy tinsy wiener too lol”
@PvtProperty @RetardedServantOfChrist @RadixVerum @Codeki There’s that, too, but we’re not talking about the logic circuits, I’m talking about a fulness of soul that only arises when certain living conditions are met. Your body simply won’t fire those synapses when you’re living alone. You may approximate them, but they won’t be the same.
I know she could utterly burn me if she ever chooses to, but I have enough mitigation in place, enough compartmentalization so unless she went hard to the kooky leftist side (which wouldn’t fit her temperament, she’s like a golden retreiver) then it would be difficult for her to cause lasting damage to the family.
Essentially thats all thats left. Men are motivated by the fact that theyll be punished for not doing something. Theyre not motivated because they'll ever get anything out of their work
Sometimes you have to fake it till you make it brother.
@PvtProperty @Dadbolgainz @RetardedServantOfChrist @RadixVerum @Codeki I don’t want anyone marrying thots or whores, but I think there’re enough cloistered, directionless girls under 25 who live at home with their intact, welcoming family for us. There aren’t that many of them, but there aren’t that many quality guys (i.e. hopefully us) either, and the girls face a kind of saltwater dating scene.
We look at the ease of which women get sex and attention like dehydrated saharan bedouins, not realizing the girls are surrounded by nothing but saltwater, dying for a glass to drink.
Your motivation should be creating a better future for your people

We don't have "our people". That concept is dead. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can start doing something useful, instead of sperging on people who need help.
