Our society has never been perfect. There have always been problems in human history. Yet I think we’ve reached a breaking point in history where everything is being turned upside down. Everything.

In college I met a girl. She was very much into me. I however, didn’t really like her all that much. So introduced her to one of my best friends. Well. She really, really liked him. Like, obsessed over him. Had her friends stalk him. Didn’t “allow him” to hang out with us. When we wanted to play smash, drink a bit, she would enter into our apartment a total control freak. It was his first relationship. Eventually, she got so paranoid that she “threw up” her pill when they went drinking one night. Yeah, it was “thrown up”. Whoops!

And then she had not one but two kids and they are married now. And that’s all I gotta say in the matter.

I am 26, I work in software sales, I work very hard, and I am single. I do not plan on getting married anytime soon. From my very beginnings in school, I could feel deep down inside, something almost instinctual, that something is seriously wrong.  And its not JUST for the reason above. I read the Manosphere section and nearly everything resonated with me.

“The average young woman today is less concerned about the number of quality men who would commit to her than she is about the number of men who retweet a photo of her breasts.”

After reading that I knew I had to join. The dating scene is a nightmare. I knew it was getting bad when I was sitting in college and the pretty girl in front of me was spending the ENTIRE TIME IN CLASS on Facebook, cropping her pictures, editing things. All for what? Her Ego?. Posting up slutty pictures of her and her friends, fishing for “Likes”. It’s all about the likes.

That statement is absolutely and completely 100% true. It was happening back then in 2009 and it’s even worse now. This not only reinforces a false digital ego, but also reinforces superficiality. So now you have these women thinking its even more important to look good than be a good person and appreciate someone for who they are. We’re all to blame here. Any guy who likes multiple photos, and comments “you’re so hot”, “I love your boobs” needs to be slapped in the face. You’re an enabler to a drug addict.

They’ll get the ego boost whenever they post the boob shot. And you have these same women with huge egos with increased expectations for men, that no wonder why they can’t find anyone to date. No guy can live up to their expectations. And since they got those 100 likes on Instagram, they are all so popular and hot – they deserve a hot guy. I’ve been told this straight up by women my age that have had a few drinks. “I won’t date a guy unless he has a photo with 50 likes. I’ve earned one – so should he.”

I could not believe my ears. Are you freaking kidding me? This is a huge problem. You’re talking about women raising their standards to ridiculous levels. And we all know that she isn’t going to close that social media account once she gets with you. If she has a fight with you? Relationship going bad? Post a boob shot, or post a pic of you posing half naked in the mirror. We all know that people who have Instagram and are active on there are more likely to cheat. I’m not saying that if you have an Instagram/Twitter and are on there occasionally, are as bad as these girls – but there is definitely a large portion of women like this. And it’s really bad. I’ve heard stories where women will take photos in the middle of the date.

I was told by my mother that she went into NYC (she had to go to see the doctor) and she stopped by a cafe and she saw this beautiful girl sitting in the corner – taking tons of photos of herself. She asked me “Why were all the guys standing around her ignoring her? It’s like they were too intimidated to even acknowledge her.” I didn’t have an answer.

And I don’t even consider myself to be a bad a prospect. I have a good job, I make good money, I am not bad looking. But this just makes me sick.

I see I’m ranting, I’ll stop here. So glad I found this place. There is so much to talk about. The rant above is only one small piece of the screwed up puzzle.

Many women today suffer from an incurable Princess Syndrome.  They feel that the world should not only owe them anything they want but should bow down and worship them as well.

On the other hand, what of girls raised with single mothers?  Who tells them these things?  Who is there to influence young women with no fathers that they are special?  The singlemom?  What is the singlemom’s motivation to convince her unwanted girls that they are a princess and deserve things?

Is it the fact that any girl that isn’t ugly is treated differently in society than those that must earn their way?

I’m not telling you the answer because I don’t have the answer.  However, we all know what the problem is, or the syndrome is.  As men, the one’s that are the fixers and solution makers, what is the solution?  Ignore Princess?  Is it working?  Maybe with individual Princesses, but not on all the Princesses.  What is the solution?

All the married guys on here know what I’m talking about when that scenario goes on for a few years and it is the experience of dealing with the mother in law. The mothers in law are the biggest pains in the ass even worse than the daughters because they are always in the wings trying to direct the relationship into money flowing directly towards them. They never admit that though.

As for single moms.  I know I shouldn’t say what I’m about to say, but I’m going to.  Single moms with daughters are just raising more single moms.  It’s a vicious cycle.  Their best bet is to show their girls the skills they truly need to succeed as the future whore they will be.  This way, when push comes to shove, they’ll know how to survive and earn extra cash with the skills, that given enough time, would be refined by generations of professional experience taught from mother to daughter like our Great Grandmothers would pass down secret recipes.

I’m old enough to remember when it all started with Women’s Lib in the late ’60s.  Back then, they wanted equality in law and in society.  Many of us had to change our way of thinking but, on the whole, there wasn’t a great deal of resistance.  Lots of us in school simply shrugged and said, “Why not?”

Now, it’s mutated into something completely unrecognizable.  It’s no longer about equality but entitlement.  OK, treat the girls like princesses, but they have to earn that privilege.  I remember a tagline I read somewhere that went something like this:  “It is the duty of men to treat women with respect.  It is the duty of women to give them something to respect.”
