    Please please please for the love of God please quit using the phrase “intimidated” or “afraid” of women. That is such common bs modern feminist semantics. Like women are so grandiose and powerful nowadays that men are shaking in fear. Ah no. Not accurate in the slightly.

    The vast majority of grown men are not “afraid” of modern women but many of them are frustrated, angry and jaded. This isn’t a figurative statement either because recent statistics show 63% of men under 30 are single.

    Of all the articles I read about this the leftist journalists kept trying to blame it on porn, social media, low testosterone levels, post pandemic burnout, etc. While I do believe all those points do factor into this problem I also see nobody in the MSM has the balls to call out the number one culprit: modern feminism.

    Men have to deal with the following nowadays:

    • Being exploited vía friendzone bs if they try to display chivalry and court a woman. Modern women see that as “boring nice guy” behavior and will take advantage of it.
    • Being cheated on and blamed for it. Most women I’ve seen who admit nowadays to cheating almost never take accountability for their actions. Their attitude about this behavior is actually much worse then the behavior itself. You don’t see men trying to justify cheating like women do.
    • Being #metoo’d if they dare approach a woman while she’s in a bad mood and/or she doesn’t find him attractive. Especially dangerous in the work place. Also his actual words/actions don’t matter but only her “feelings” about it is what matters.
    • Being ghosted with zero warning. It doesn’t matter if the guy has zero idea he did anything wrong. It doesn’t matter if the woman ghosted him over something absolutely ridiculous. Here is a recent example of this bs


    All of this is because young women are being told that they are “strong and free” if they follow “their truth” as POS Oprah once put it. There is a lot of power in female sexuality and over privileged women are indulging it with reckless abandon.

    However I now truly believe that nothing, not a word a man says about this and no matter how accurate it is will ever change anything. Reason being is men are expendable. Men are not special just for existing.

    However being selfish and conceited never makes anyone truly happy and content. So it’s no surprise female depression rates are skyrocketing. So the only way this will ever change is when one day modern women wake up and come to a horrifying realization that most of their misery is actually self created.

    That is the only way things will ever change for the better. Modern women will need to find out the hard way and it’s likely going to take decades. And as with any war men are first casualties. So men have to suffer first through of this bullshit. Because these women sure as hell don’t care about how pain they inflict on men.

    But lots of men are just giving up now. That’s bad for both genders but modern feminism truly is the original sin for all these problems.

      Well stated. However, in the current situation as it is, men shoukd fear all too many women for the damage they can and sadly all too often do cause, financial, emotional, and otherwise.

      @Curmudgeon hence it’s no surprise that men are giving up. They do have breaking points and that so very bad for BOTH men and women.

      But again no amount of (justified) complaining, reasoning, etc is going to get through to modern women. They get off at being “in the fight” even if it leads to their own misery.

      No it’s modern women who need to recognize they are self sabotaging themselves and 100% their own damn fault. But sadly as in any “war” men are the first casualties. We got to endure and suffer in the beginning.

    Nowadays, women have become more conceited, aggressive, arrogant, they think everything is owed to them, they have absurd demands on the standards they seek in a guy, if you try to court them even in a polite way, they will reject you even in an arrogant way, we have grown tired of this attitude and so in a way we have adapted by being much colder and more detached.

      Even the ones who aren't all that hot act that way. And don't make it seem like looks are not important because they are. You don't have to be to the level of a Victoria's secret model, but we gotta find you AT LEAST somewhat attractive.

      @katebfun what @tzdc21 is saying is true. Some average looking women are envious of the so called “power” hot women have over men. So in an unusual event a man approaches her she will sometimes will get inexplicably bitchy and she wants bragging rites about she is so desired that she has the option to turn men down. I’ve heard but girls “bragging” to their friends about being hit on often (sure). It’s all about the imaginary power struggle EVEN if it means these girls self sabotage themselves.

      That’s not to say all women are like that. But a growing percentage are. It’s almost like the best thing that could happen to them is if they have a “story” about how they turned down a creepy guy or something.

I can't lower my standards because I don't demand the ultimate in beauty, it is you women who must change your attitude and approach you with more humility.

    I don’t think men are afraid of women. Unfortunately, many women interpret everything as sexual harassment. Therefore, many men don’t even shoot their shot.

      @Apple1996 the changes in society wrought by feminism are causing Western civilization to slide into a new Dark Age, which if you knew anything about history you would know it is not an Era we should strive to repeat. Most of the modern conveniences you enjoy would be gone.

Your extremely perishable and commonly wasted ability to create life doesn't even work without a man.

      And if women are so intimidated by men, they wouldn't exactly just blame it on men for not being able to speak up and compete. Like blaming it on mansplaining when they're just intimidated in logical arguments. Now tell me if it's because men don't let them do this and that and pull their gender discrimination in the workplace victim card which you tend to hear from women and it's only going to prove my point. A lot of men had also been treated like shit in the workplace and they end up becoming homeless or whatever unless they fight for it. You just have a cushy blanket on your side just in case you fall down. That's not power. That's just you being the kids of society

    I am neither afraid or intimidated. Even if I’ve had female bosses they were usually one of two categories:


    1/ The tokens included in promotions to satisfy the need for diversity and to placate political forces. They tended to rely on their authority for validation and I have a stubborn streak that absolutely prevents me from bending the knee to you - regardless of your position above me - unless you have competence.


    2/ One of those amazing women who thrived and survived by being amazingly good to rise to that level in a male dominated field. They led with sheer skill and competence and they earned my absolute respect.


    Neither of those create fear or intimidation. Perhaps as a young man, in my teens perhaps, I may have been intimidated by a woman’s beauty. Young men rationalize that a pretty woman has a greater value and therefore is ‘out of our league’. A decade and a half later I knew the truth which is that is not necessarily the case at all.


    In any case, I’ve never been afraid or intimidated by any woman anymore than I’ve been afraid of any other human. I can think of a few men that intimidated me but it was strictly for their physical abilities and lethality. Not power, rank, or authority.

    I'm not imtimidated by women, I just have largely lost interest in dating. I feel have come of the opinion that women place a lot of importance on the dating stage but they don't understand that men care way more about marriage than dating.

    For example, younger me, would have done just about anything to get laid but even then, I knew there was a difference between a woman I was just trying to have sex with and a woman I was considering spending the rest of my life with.

    Women don't seem to have the ability to separate those things and it makes me see them all as... Well hoe's kinda 😂

    A woman to marry is a very rare and special thing. I feel like woman have it backwards.

    I’ve never been intimate with any woman… like another living, breathing, fully aware being, that could take an interaction and if anything goes wrong, flip it against me and ruin my reputation. You know?

    Even just going in for the kiss. The thought of it is terrifying. Now if people were just… different… well intentioned, genuine and just all around good-willed, and showed real interest in who I was as a person, and weren’t so defensive all the time themselves, maybe I would feel different.

    It’s also very difficult to find a girl that seems to be at all worth the risk anymore, so I just keep to myself. I really do crave conversation and a good vibe. It’s annoying to me when a woman can’t match my energy or contribute to the conversation. So I just feel better keeping quiet and alone.

    No man is afraid of or intimidated by women. Men just realize the reality of current society puts them in unnecessary bullshit if they interact with a modern woman so why bother... modern women have made themselves impossible to date without risking our financial, mental, emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual etc well being. There are zero benefits to dating, conversing, helping, acknowledging, marrying a modern woman. If a man wants those things he can just go overseas where women are infinitely better.

      But notice how two women upvoted his comment. I wouldn’t be happy if a woman admitted “I like being intimidated and exploited by men” or some bs. No. Hell no.

      But modern women actually seriously want this bs but that doesn’t really make them happy either.

    If she’s hot she will be rude, and use insults to tell me I’m not hot and attractive enough for her.

    I remember one time I wasn’t even trying to flirt with this woman I was delivering packages to while working at UPS I was playing with her little pups in the front yard and she goes “you’re not hot”

    Im not objectively good looking where women flirt with me, start conversations with or engage with my opinions on Gag simply based on my appearance but I would be lying if I said in my early 20s there weren’t a handful of beautiful women that showed interest in me or tried to seduce me. I’m older now and haven’t worked around women for about 3yrs and I don’t go out much nor to social settings to where i see and meet women.

This type of rhetoric bullshit introduced by feminists have turned men away from wanting to converse with women and now it's backfiring on your gender.

      I agree there are both good and bad women. But when it’s up to the man to approach a woman he just met does he even KNOW if she is good or bad? It’s STILL on us to stick our necks out and most women have zero idea what that’s like.

      I’m wasn’t ever afraid to approach women. But after what @metoo did it has made a lot of men justifiably gun shy.

    They are not afraid or intimidated, vast majority doesn't know what they want, or is not honest with what they want, or they want chidlish things. Lack of emotional maturity. basically. They figured that romance, manipulation and lovebombing gets them pussy, so that's what they do. If anything, they are intimidated by other men who are competing for the same thing. Gross.

      Most unsuccessful men are not "afraid" of women either. Afraid is a bad word choice. If a guy is afraid, it's less so the woman, and more so the court, or court of public opinion and false allegations, not the woman herself.
