| Since the pandemic there seems to be an uptick in the number of young men identifying as "alphas" and "lions." Most of these supposedly mentally tough men lack any critical thinking skills at all and blindly follow leaders like Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate etc. How do we address this problem? |

| More women are realizing their own power and choosing not to tolerate low value behavior from men and men are in a tailspin. Especially young men. Theyre falling behind by every metric, and unable to find young girls to put up with them, and spiralling out. |

| They're terminally online and the pandemic made them particularly susceptible to online influencers telling them that they're lions. Obviously being told they are at the top of the hierarchy appeals to their insecurities. |

| Because they are not being parented properly. they're too coddled, left alone to watch Joe Rogan and other idiots and believe in it because it sounds good. |

| Social media prizes group thinking, strongmen, alpha male attitudes. Nuanced views and well developed arguments are not in vogue, and certainly not demanded on tik tok or instagram. Same for females. |

| Many of these terminally online alpha males are in their 30s...but they act like overgrown children. |

It's very strange to see women embracing this "lions not sheep" stuff. |

| I'm Canadian and these alpha men really have some weird obsession with Justin Trudeau who they deem "unmanly." |

And yet pollieve got a "makeover" to make him look more like Trudeau! They hate him and simultaneously want to be him (or F him as the truck stickers would suggest  )

| Maybe their just fed up will millennial women. Can’t really say I blame them. I’m a Gen X’r and men in their 30’s have told me several times women our generation are more desirable (as long as they haven’t let themselves go), and it has nothing to do with cougar fantasies. They just find women their age insufferable. I do as well. I understand their disdain. |
