Men certainly are more vocal and prone to extremism. Young men especially. Large numbers of unattached angry men have destabilized societies through history. Blame testosterone, socialization, patriarchy--take your pick!

Oh, it's a real thing. Get any of these below average men comfortable and watch what comes out. You don't seem to understand that social media is radicalizing people in real life.

Elon Musk isn’t Adonis, but he is much better looking than a lot of men. He’s tall, has all of his hair and has an intelligent face. I’m not sure why you chose him as an example when there are Bezos and Gates.

+1 he is literally the 2nd best looking billionaire behind that Russian dude with a million kids

I think both women AND men need each other less nowadays. 125 years ago a person might need to make their own clothes, make their own bread from scratch, wash their clothes by hand. Plus work shifts were often longer and involved more manual labor. Imagine working a 12 hour manual labor job and when you get home you have to wash your clothes by hand, start fiddling with yeast if you want bread, need to go to a pump to get water, etc. Literally impossible. Most single males would live in homes that included a room AND board for that very reason.

Nowadays, there are takeout options, meal-prep services ready made bread and other goods. A washing machine and dryer makes cleaning clothes a snap. Vacuum cleaners make tidying up a lot easier. It's feasible for a single guy to live alone and get by. I know because I was a single guy for 5 years when I was in my 30s and got along fine.

The strongest evidence that men don't "need" women the way they used to is men's refusal to meet many of the standards set by modern women. If the men really needed women, they would take the steps necessary for their survival and meet women's standards. The fact that many don't just shows the men don't really need women.

Sure some men will say they want a woman who they expect to cook and clean and be sexy while they sit around playing video games. But this "want" or "need" should be given as much credence as me saying I want breakfast in bed everyday.

He's 5'8", had a hair transplant, and has a face like a half-melted plastic Putin action figure. He's genuinely unnerving to look at. "Intelligent face", seriously?

Good point.

This just tells me that most men are largely asexual. Men particular post 40 yo have performance issues. They know they can't perform and not interested as much in women anymore. Why bother being on diet, taking care of yourself, being a good partner? Its way easier just to live alone

It's not because of easily available sex. These men are NOT getting a lot of free sex on the apps. The men who are dating actively on OLD at least can offer good looks and performance.

So yes, when I see a well groomed and well spoken man it tells me he still cares about being attractive to others.

I have three boys and one girl. My daughter is 12 now and starting to have to do all of this stuff that her brothers don’t just to fit in (hair, jewelry, eyebrows, shaving). She’s pretty resentful of it, so I notice it more.

I bet if you spent $50/wk and one hour a day trying to make yourself more attractive (in addition to working out), you would find that women notice you more.

As a man, if I had $50 a week to spend on grooming, I'd be able to save about $48 a week. I really have no idea what products I'd buy for that price. I use the same razor for about two weeks. A bottle of shampoo lasts me months. No conditioner. Some body lotion in the winter months. My tweezers are a few decades old and my nose hair trimmer costs less than $10.

I do feel sorry for your 12 year-old daughter. That seems way too soon to be concerned with all that. My daughter was playing soccer at that age and didn't do any of that until later.

I work with several gay men and they know where it's at. They all have wonderful skin thanks to tretinoin, botox, sunscreen. They do look better than my husband, who refuses to do all those things and looks terribly aged.

But your husband is a real man. The gays are just … well, gay.
