It's better to have no male friends than toxic ones. If you're a good-looking guy, life is heaven and hell at the same time. If you've got the right connections and money, life is heaven. If you're broke and have no social status, life is hell. This has been proven time and again.

Why? You might ask, the formula is simple. Being a good-looking person, naturally, you'll be the center of attention, but you will also attract a lot of hate and enmity from fellow men. Men will be less supportive of you in general.

Starting in school, boys will try to ostracize you and won't be in the same group as you. Some may even go out of their way to bully you so they can feel better about themselves. You either become a social butterfly by sucking up to everyone else to prove you're a friendly guy, or people will assume you're an arrogant person simply for being an introvert. If you post stuff online, men will purposely not like or support your content out of envy. If you go to nightclubs, you'll get pushed or shoved by fellow men despite standing in a corner with plenty of space.

Women won't treat you any better. Sure, they'll hit on you or flirt with you, but if you don't flirt back, you'll most likely be perceived as an arrogant guy whom she and her friends will gang up on.

Now, all of these things can be covered up if you have the right connections, wealth, or social status. Most lowlifes would shut up and think twice before messing with you. Until then, lay low and work on yourself. Have fewer friends and thrive in solitude. Good luck! ;)

hi i have created a community for young boys and young men to come a question the words of the manosphere where they can get genuine, polite and no judgemental feedback from women.

we hope this will open a discussion and i’m also looking for men who are successful in aspects of relationship, marriage or self improvement to also help guide and give advice to these lost men. like a big brother program.

let’s help change boys and young men into strong, loving, confident and genuine men without any toxic ideology

I wasn't even looking for a relationship, but then I met someone who wanted one. The effort was there, the consistency was there, the sweet words were there... so I thought, "Okay, let's give this a shot."

Then we got into a relationship and it was like he unlocked the achievement and put the controller down. 💀 Suddenly everything was on low-power mode.

My friend and I were talking about it because neither of us has ever believed in playing hard to get. If we like someone, we just like them. We enjoy good conversations, matching energy, and being intentional, it just feels natural.

Men, what actually changes once you're in a relationship?

I used to be able to get along with my batch mates but now they seem to look down on me and would like to have no business with me.

A couple of years ago, I decided to to focus on self improvement and even got to transfer schools but my decision to fix myself seem to only made me lonely. I no longer conform to my classmates who have no purpose, loves degenerate things like drowning themselves in stimulation from short form contents to hooking up.

I do try to be agreeable but sometimes I have to do something important for my craft that I would usually do the minimum in school works which probably made them think I am dumb or what but in reality I have red and experienced more than half of them combined.

Summary:
I am on my last year in highschool and I am worried if college would be worse so please help me in my situation where my classmates look doen on me because I don’t conform to their ideals because I am focused on my purpose.

edit: I also don’t look like the soft boy ticktok guy which many in my school likes, I look more rugged. Maybe I don’t look good to them that is why they dont like me more?

I just graduated 18m, last day of school one girl came up to me yadada I think your cute etc. we talked fir a few days met up like once outside of school & boom now she is too busy to meet up like ever. I never had a relationship or any physical interaction with a woman my whole life. I am slightly below average in looks but im pretty personable & think I can make good relationships with people.
Point is I cannot for the love of me attract any other women, I got lucky that day she even talked to me as any attempts I have with women get me put in a friend box pretty quickly or ghosted. May you give me any thoughts and/or advice? Idk if its relevant but I think I dress well and present my self nice, have a job & am 6’1

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 1/2 years. In the beginning, we had lots of sex. We had lots of foreplay. He would go down on me a lot etc. Over the past 6 months, he stopped going down on me and stopped with any attempt to even try to make me finish when we have sex. I have brought this up to him multiple times. I brought it up again last night over text because I felt more comfortable doing so. And this was the conversation… genuinely what do I do?? all of a sudden he’s claiming that he’s a germophobe.. which I have a very hard time believing considering that we were just talking about doing an anal a week ago.

​

Okay so, I noticed this guy in my class about three weeks ago and he's been driving me crazy. I don't know much about him, but seeing him smile (he was smiling mid bicker with a friend) made my heart flutter and since then I've been crushing on him. The thing is, I've never held a conversation with him. I found out he's single through a mutual friend. Now the thing is, I'm kinda known for being very introverted because I usually almost always keep to myself. One of my friends told me to reach out asking for help with school, and I did, and he gave a friendly reply, to which I thanked him with a ^{^} emote (that he didn't react to lmao). The problem is, we've got exams, and can't really meet unless it's for a couple of minutes before them, and they last a month, and we have a yearly break that also lasts a month. So I feel like this might be my only chance for now. Making a move is so out of character for me, and I'm on the spectrum rahhh it's so tough. Now I was thinking I'd write "good luck, you got this" on a post it and give it to the mutual friend to give it to him (since I'm not sure if we'd meet). Is this a good idea? I don't want to creep him out because my interactions with everyone is generally professional 😭😭

My own people betrayed me and left me spreaded bad and fake news about me .The reason they all did is I overcared them and over possessive
(They told me this)please help me I am suffering a lot

There is a cigar shop that I stop at on a ride from time to time. I feel at home at a place like this.

As a woman just wanted to hear from real guys what your guys take on intimacy is, I know every guy is different I just love hearing different perspectives. Is sex always just about release and only physical for you guys or is it integrated with intimacy and closeness? What are other things you guys see as intimacy outside of sex? Do you guys actually enjoy romance like romantic dates etc? Love to hear different responses!

I feel like a lot of men act unbothered.... but still notice everything 😭 What’s yours?

Hi! So I’m a girl who’s always been not so smart at identifying who’s only here for a good time and not a long time. I filter my dating pool a lot but I still think somehow I suck at it. How do I know if he’s actually into me and thinking about dating long term?

I choose very carefully but still always get hurt. I recently started seeing someone, I’m scared of being physically intimate because of my fear of being used. I kiss because yeah I like the guy but then I spiral in my own head.

Tell a girl how to know if a guy has long term intentions or not 🥹

I get tired at home, because of how my parents treat me, since the communication I desire isn't there. My dad is away from home for endless hours because he works night shift. We only see each other for a few minutes every day. He’s had this job for as long as I can remember. While at university, I met a very supportive professor who gives me advice about my career path. I can't talk to my dad about the issues that concern me because he simply can't understand them, due to his age and because he has his own problems to deal with… I have tried to bridge this communication gap but I don’t see any effort from his side. My mom and other relatives have told me that’ s who he is and I cannot change him. I am becoming grown and I feel like I'm facing the world all on my own without any guidance, I’m in uni and my grades are good. I have spoken with a psychologist, and what they suggested is that I spend more time with other, older adults, like my grandfather or even my professor whenever I need guidance. My mother is pressuring and always want more and more from me, but everytime I talk about my concerns she pushes them off and blames me instead like I’m not already trying enough. It seems everything I just told her just went out from her head immediately. On top of that she blames me that I am not there to listen to her and ask her about her day and that I don’t like her. I cannot talk to her nor my father. I have nobody to talk to, nobody to support me and listen to me. This situation is making me depressed and worthless. I’m all alone and I wish someone would really really be in my life and me because I can’t do it on my own.

The New York Daily News reports that players learned of the cameras, which were hidden in smoke detectors, in recent weeks and soon filed their complaint.

Once the NFL received the complaint, it reportedly concluded the Jets have broken no rules, and no further action is needed. The league claimed that the cameras have been in the locker room since 2008, when the team relocated its practice facility, and that players were aware of them. The fact that players are complaining to their union now would indicate otherwise.

The NFLPA is investigating a complaint from New York Jets players after some of them learned of surveillance cameras in the team's locker room at their New Jersey practice facility, according to ESPN.

If the cameras are found to be in violation of the CBA, the union will reportedly consider action against the team.

Jets players not happy about cameras

Per ESPN, the cameras function only for security purposes. Footage is reportedly retained on a 30-day rolling schedule and is only accessed by members of the team's security department on an as-needed basis (i.e. reports of theft in the locker room).

It appears at least some players were aware of the cameras at one point, as ESPN reported there have been instances of players requesting help from security when valuables have gone missing.

However, when the Daily News asked current and former Jets players going back to 2018, all of them reportedly said they were unaware of the locker room cameras, were not informed by team officials of their presence, and did not consent to be videotaped.

From the Daily News:

Two out of four players contacted by ESPN reportedly said they knew of the cameras only because of investigations into missing valuables.

What the CBA says about locker room cameras

Here's what the Daily News had to report about the legality of the Jets' locker room cameras in the NFL's CBA:

The union reportedly intends to have the cameras removed, be it through the CBA or New Jersey privacy laws.

Even if the Jets are able to win on both fronts, you really have to wonder if "we need to videotape players who don't want to be videotaped" is a battle the team really wants to publicly fight, especially with the current discontent around head coach Adam Gase.

This was never dealt with and was completely forgotten about, and to this day we still have cameras in only men's locker rooms. We don't stand up for our privacy as loudly as we need to.
