when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue
to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

Actively wanting to date someone less intelligent than oneself feels like predatorial behaviour.

Wait until you find out about the order of magnitude of greater doubt there is when a man is attacked by a woman.
Signed, a male who was molested by a female as a child, then told it’s literally “impossible” for rape to happen in that direction when he futilely sought support.

I don’t even say one side has to be automatically “sided with” (because that’s how you get stuff like the Brian Banks situation), but, at the very least, don’t dismiss either side out of hand as if it literally cannot have been true, you know?
Dude, youre bringing some “exactly that kind of person” energy throughout this thread…
I’m bringing empathy for a demographic that’s generally starved of it, and frustration toward those who have none for it, is all.

I can’t believe people are downvoting you, I totally heard something similar about some guys who don’t like dating women who make more money than they do… It’s just kinda funny to see “PhD” sticking out like that…

She has higher education -> She earns more -> “She can’t be earning more than me, I’m supposed to provide for the household!!!”
I assume it’s something along those lines?
Perhaps it’s a self worth thing. If she’s making more than you, what reason does she need to keep you around if someone else comes along?
I haven’t got along well with any of the women with PHDs I’ve known but it wasn’t a very large sample size for me to write them off as a whole. If I ran into too many more that had the same personality type as the ones I met I might consider it though because they were frustrating to be around. It wasn’t that they were smarter than me, it was that they wouldn’t even listen to me on subjects I was more knowledgeable about.
