[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are InCel White men.  Yes, they are very unattractive as mates, sexual partners or even marriage partners.

I guess they need to hit the community college instead of the gunrange?[/quote]

[quote]This is definitely a thing that’s happening in small town America. The men are mostly NEET’s, or they have some dead end retail job or just do odd jobs here and there. The women see them (rightfully, IMO) as basically children, just another mouth to feed and support financially. A lot of them who are married or partnered will basically just quit working while the women work full time and also raise kids. Women would rather be single moms than married to a man-baby. [/quote]

This. This is who the article is talking about. Not some ridiculously well compensated man who now is able to spend more time with his family.

I can think of 2 guys like this. One I went to high school with and am Facebook friends with him. He is always complaining how women don't appreciate good guys like him, they only want bad boys who will break their hearts. He works as a pizza delivery guy. Very religious - always posting conspiracy theories, flat earth stuff, Jesus, etc. He has two grown kids and they don't seem like the biggest winners either. He still lives in a small town. He can't understand why women don't date him.

The other guy I can think of is married to another ex-high school classmate of mine. He is unemployed and doesn't contribute to the household. He cheated on his wife and got the mistress pregnant but she did have a miscarriage. Granted, my ex-high school classmate isn't the brightest bulb either but she is incredibly sweet. She works low-paying jobs and that is it to support their family of 6. Unfortunately, her sons are being raised the same way. Aren't forced to help out at home, aren't getting an education, just directionless. Who - unless you feel like you need to get married to anyone and don't have the self-esteem to realize you can do better - would want to be married to men like that?

The article is talking about people like this. Hasn't this been a problem in the African-American community for quite some time? AA women saying there is a lack of good AA men to marry. Now it's moving to rural/lower class white men.[/quote]
