      So the actual text in these posts is probably fake but I’m sad to say I’ve known two guys who act like this. Its not a ton, its not a majority of the guys I know, but like. Two is a lot for being THIS moronic. And they both seem like nice enough people at first. One of them is married to a pretty nice girl who just didn’t see it until it was too late. RIP.

      That said, posting this kind of stuff kinda irks me since it can end up making that reality seem more imaginary than it really is. Plus, people like me who have had that experience in real life don’t need internet posts to teach them that this is the way it is, and people who haven’t had that experience in real life probably aren’t going to update their perception of reality based on posts like this. So these posts still kinda end up useless despite being fairly representative of reality.

        Have you seen how bad the manosphere shit has gotten? This is pretty stock standard thoughts for 30% (although sometimes it feels like 90) of men. Young men are especially falling into this

          Yeah, my brother in-law is around 25 or so. I could totally see him doing this and then bitching about how he can’t keep a girlfriend. Some of the vile filth I’ve heard from his mouth is shockingly stupid.

          I mean I can’t deny that there’s a lot of absolute morons roaming the streets, but I’m also questioning the veracity of these screenshots.
