women having impossible standards for men
While there are definitely a minority of women on the internet demanding men be 6'5 self made millionaires who believe every woke shibboleth and yet act like conservatives, it seems like most women have eminently reasonable standards(be stably employed in a good job, not be a porn/substance/gambling addict, not a criminal, taller than her, etc) and simply aren't exposed to men who meet them.
I would’ve guessed 80 million, but let’s be real- it doesn’t matter that much. Ted Cruz knows Iran is big enough to be relevant. That’s what he needs to know.
I don't disagree with you either. I am saying that 90% of woman woes have as most of the answer 'just approach more, bro'. Yes, I know it's awkward and intimidating but women like a man with balls. Show her you can put a kid in her. Yes lots of men need to learn how to approach and get better a flirting and yes there's the bottom whatever percent. Maybe you're five feet tall(if you're shorter-end-of-normal, here's a pro-tip- cowboy boots work wonders, they come off as masculine and you can probably get a good pair from an estate sale or something) with an ugly face and a stutter. I don't know you personally.
At the end of the day men are the sex with agency. Act like it.
and absolutely no second dates!
What's wrong with that? Finding your spouse is a numbers game. Get to the 'not the one' quickly to move on to the next. You just haven't found her yet.
Do the bare minimum to not die NEET men have always existed, and always been seen negatively. It’s not some new thing caused by the awfulness of modern women(and, for many normal women, it does go the other way around- it’s difficult for the shy kindergarten teacher who has feminine hobbies and really wants kids to find someone compatible and not terrible as well).
Part of it is that modern society just coddles men more. There’s no expectation that you’re willing to move to take a job(and in the fifties people would move for factory jobs, not even the cushy white collar positions that ask for relocation these days) or spend a bit of time in harsh conditions or work twelve hour days. A lot of the boomer success literally does come from being willing to work twelve hour days in travel jobs while sharing bedrooms.

Uh, I’m pretty sure women go into nursing because it pays very well and is female gendered:
For point three, do you really think your childless friends wouldn't be lining up to babysit? Maybe it's just my bubble but everyone likes little kids and is willing to do some 'work' to get to hang out with them.
Sexual freedom is not a real thing in the individualistic sense, because sex isn't really an individualistic activity. We should judge sexual freedom by whether society's norms more easily feed into what makes people happy in the long run, not by the theoretical freedom of activity.
It's unclear by that standard that western societies are sexually freer today or in 1875 or 1950 or whenever.
This suggests that the problem will self-extinguish as pillarization results in parallel status hierarchies in red and blue America.
The point was you can get significantly below market(and priced to match) housing really easily. You don't need to be plugged into the wetback network, and roustabouts are not known for their robust network building anyways. Go ask around at waffle house. Look on craigslist. The white trash underclass lives in very similar conditions, after all. Non underclass whites don't do this, but that's because they don't want to.
There's this motte conceit that you can't live like the other half. Yeah, you can, and pretty easily too.
yet there may be a lesson present about engaging in drug transactions with someone covered in face/neck/head tattoos.
I'm pretty sure that the number of drug dealers without tattoos rounds to 0.
Mgubu isn't smart enough to recognize when he's gotten the better deal. People of small hats mostly are, and for all of chairman Xi's attempts at becoming grand Chinaman of the race, people of slanted eyes are too.
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘falling off the wagon’- they’re already doctors and lawyers(who, I’ll note, have from an objective perspective made large sacrifices to their standard of living to dwell in NYC, doctors in flyover live in mansions not apartments).
Maybe this is one of those things I don’t get and won’t get, like why neurotic strivers think they’re better than me without having the pedigree to back it up, or why people live together for five years without getting married.
Just curious- other than one great grandfather, all of my ancestors were in the continental US before 1776(many were in then-Spanish Louisiana, but the rest were in the thirteen colonies). Do I count?
We have no indication he doesn't, even if abortion is a weirdly prominent issue for him.
Ukraine is already striking Russia. I don’t think that, if they had a nuke, they wouldn’t launch it.
You think this is bad, wait until AI can make realistic toddler robots.
Trump is not necessarily going to do the smart thing.
You are not exactly talking about the class valence of the attitudes in my post(c'mon, 'shotgun weddings are trashy' is the lowest hanging fruit ever) or interrogating the implied racial attitudes.
There's lots of people who make moral judgements of tattooing. Older women do so quite regularly.
if you know you're not, what could possibly convince you to hesitate at the last second?
The Epstein data has been released. There is no intact 'list'; it was destroyed at the same time as Epstein died, or shortly thereafter. Trump thinks bullshitting about how it's no big deal is a better move than coming clean that they don't actually have much data.
The QoL of agricultural grunt workers has, in every society in history, been pretty bad. Yes, you can entice some college kids to do a bit of it over the summer for unlimited booze and sex, but I am very skeptical they'll do enough of it to replace migrants. 'Picking crops' is just a job that always inherently sucks.
The cost advantage of illegals is also not the only reason that illegals are preferred by lower blue collar employers; I don't know if you've met native white and black trash but they're both just awful. Drugs, dysfunctional relationships, poor communication and attendance, legal issues, poor conflict-management, unreliability, theft and dishonesty, laziness, etc are way worse among our native underclass- and illegals are themselves not necessarily role models with that stuff. Lots of them are essentially unemployable because that's who's left over in a society like the US where huge majorities of functional and capable people 'make it' out of having to do shitty unskilled labor for a living.
As I keep saying, the conditions required to 'keep farms running so we can stock the shelves with a variety of produce' are not great, and first worlders will not do it without compulsion(or, I suppose, being deluded into halfway doing this for brief periods of time on partyfarms). Likewise lots of heavy construction labor etc.
Americans should mow their own lawns, watch their own children, etc. But the idea that we can replace illegal migrants and roustabouts with middle class whites is farcical. Manual laborers are by definition not middle class, at least when they're doing temporary grunt work.

No, 40 year old childless cat ladies are not viewed positively. It is true that marriage is viewed more negatively, and that women are encouraged into things that make them, by effect, generally less pleasant and attractive.
But it is also true that tramps and roustabouts were a thing back in the day, too, and there’s definitely bigger factors than modern women in NEETdom(video games).
