I could go on a tear about “conservatism” and a lot on “conservatives” these days, but I’ll digress.

On the issue of dating, birthrates, marriage, and the like, a lot of people don’t seem to get it. It’s like people are separated into the liberal “who hurt you”, “incel”, “loser” or the conservative “you just need to be a better man” camps. I don’t see anybody actually analyzing this stuff, it’s just pointing to video games, porn, or frauds like Fresh & Fit, Just Pearly Things, or Andrew Tate. They want to stay in their little right-wing, left-wing communities and have their respective opinions & biases, and that’s it. Leftists like to mock conservatives by saying their worldview is stuck back in the 50’s; their attitudes and advice on modern dating sure as hell seem to be stuck back there.

I’m 43, have a home, two cars, good job, very little debt, keep in shape, from what I’ve heard I’ve caught the eye of more than one woman, and it’s still not enough. My dating pool is single moms, fat women, and used garden tools, you can make all kinds of Venn Diagrams from it. That’s also before you start getting into depression, anxiety, outright disdain for men, Alpha Widows, and narcissism.

If I had nephews I’d being telling them something similar. I’d also be giving them copies of Rollp Tomasi’s “The Rational Male”, Aaron Clarey’s “The Book of Numbers”, and Norah Vincent’s “Self Made Man”. Anybody with a brain, and a son or nephew today would do well to tell them to accept that they may be alone, and to become the best version of themselves that they can, because with a lot of women these days the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
