Why are guys so desperate?


If you have social media you have seen the extreme lengths men of all ages and races will go to to win a woman’s favor. This can be seen in the hundreds of likes that a selfie by almost any slightly above average girl posts gets as well as the multitude of pathetic, groveling comments below each picture such as “Damn your (sic) the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen” and “wow I think heaven sent me an angel.”

Additionally, and even worse is the extreme form that white knights have taken on; that is guys who will rush to a woman’s defense right or wrong no matter what the context is, usually attacking other males either who are involved in the dispute or object in any way to her defense.

My question is - when did guys become so desperate? Do any of them really think that this behavior has any kind of success rate? I wouldn’t have as much of an issue with it if it didn’t greatly impact the already unbalanced dating scene, taking it from an unlevel playing field to essentially a game not even worth playing in the context of the current social climate. Even the most average girls get so much attention now that no matter how good looking a guy is a cold approach is usually met with at best a brush off and at worst a harsh attitude and public humiliation.

Wishing I could participate in being a desperate simp worshipping women for nothing in return? 🤔

^THERES THE ANSWER...

Women can get desperate too. In fact, society looks down on desperate women far more than desperate men.

Don't make assumptions based on 'social media' Buff

We need to see a pic of what some lunkhead and his annoying 'bae' had for dinner like we need a kick in the belly bro

It's all just passive bragging and nonsense and nothing to worry about

reply

Yeah

reply

Head on out to your river this weekend...a few cold ones on the kayak, bring lunch, hook some bass...those are the good times

Think positive

reply

Yup, although this weekend is gonna be a little chilly - looking to next wed and thurs

reply

Incoming cold fronts can be a bonanza...the fish go on a heavy bite as they seem to sense the poor weather and hunting in the days ahead

Just before a hard rain can be a good time to catch them too👍

reply

Yeah for sure! I try to time my trips w the warmest weather possible though as the paddling is a big part of it for me too

reply

Great! Now you've got me wondering what they had for dinner now.

reply

I'll bet it was over priced, way too small and fancy but it photographed very well

reply

They are probably not getting laid. (Sorry, just answering your big question, didn't read the wall of text.)

reply

Of course they’re not getting laid lol, but yes it would help if you read the body

reply

Guys want sex. Well not you but most guys

reply

Girls, dudes, dogs, cats, trees, fucking everything and everyone wants sex. We're slaves to our biology. And if ya can't get laid, have a pull. Problem solved.

reply

I can’t see any flaws in what you said

reply

Huh? I want sex, just not from someone I’m not attracted to. Most guys will fuck anything w a pulse.

reply

I agree, it never works unless you're famous. There's the odd moment where I feel like complimenting a woman but my common sense kicks in and I realise it would be frivolous, she gets a rush of serotonin and I feel empty inside.

If men just stopped 'simping' on social media then the environment would drastically change and the dating scene might improve, at least in the mans favour.

reply

Yup, but you know it never will. It actually seems to be getting worse.

reply

That's a very defeatist attitude. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take.

reply

I actually tried taking that advice, but as it turns out rejection is not good for your self esteem or morale. I’m much more bitter and frustrated now than I was 5 years ago, and I’m a good looking guy.

reply

Catch 22 I guess. No self esteem because of rejections or no self esteem from lack of getting out there. I'd rather have failed than never tried.

reply

Yeah it’s just a shitty situation for guys

reply

I don't agree. Life is what you make it, no matter your gender.

reply

You can be as optimistic as you want, dating is objectively extremely unbalanced and frustrating for most men.

reply

MOSTLY FOR FUGLY TROLLS...GEE,,I WONDER WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS?🤔

reply

Not at all, I’m well above average looking and my friend is built like a brick shithouse and looks like an Abercrombie model and even he struggles
