Obviously not speaking from experience as I’m one of the best looking people I know.
It used to just be part of growing up. One minute you're coping off for fun the next you're on barren run. Hormones and anger are strong in young men and it's something they normally grow out of but the internet isn't helping.

Yeah I completely agree. The internet has made a lot of young boys think that all women care about is money and whether you have a 6 pack.

Thats not the landscape anymore, 60% odd of newlyweds meet online, pubs and clubs are closing, and workplaces are becoming super stringent about work relationships...
Men and women have no choice but to search on dating sites, which is proven to have negative effects on men specifically.
Im so glad im old, the idea of needing something like tinder, 75% men, where 78% of women matched with 20% of men. No wonder boys are disassociated.
I heard on the news this morning about the incel culture curriculum, and they interviewed someone from a women's group, who had heard stories of boys talking to teachers about Andrew Tate lol. Make that make sense.
Boys need solid positive peer relationships, not a feminised lambasting of edgy humour that is categorised as incel.
The more I read about schools intent, the more I think pedagogy experts are right, and the sees need separating early on, to instil the skill of learning in appropriate settings, before joining and making a curriculum.
To add to a school curriculum and frame it as non successful boys are extremist terrorists is not going to help a generation of boys, those disassociated from society need empowerment, and building up, not attacking!

Have you got a source for the 60%? Not doubting it but I imagine you'll find other research saying it's a bit lower. Even taking it at 50% that means 50% meet through work or social gatherings.
I agree the landscape is changing for sure and I agree the internet is not helping (especially with the likes of grifters like Tate)
What negative effects on men come from dating sites?
Bit of background, I split with my ex wife 6 years ago and after a while went on the whole online dating thing and found it a very positive experience. I went on plenty of dates, had a couple of relationships and my partner who I live with now was someone I met on Tinder.
On the dates I did go on I found most of the women had horror stories of dick pics and one even of stalking.
As someone who went through that I'm really not getting this 78% of women thing. Most women I met just wanted to meet someone nice and normal.

But Andrew Tate says if you don’t drive a Bugatti and can’t beat up 10 men single handed then you’re a loser and won’t ever find a woman.
Yeah and there is lies the problem. Tate and his ilk are just trying to make money out of naive and venerable men. They offer no answers and much of what they say regarding this only 20% of men are attractive to women is complete and utter tosh. I would have preferred online dating when I was younger. Might of saved me a divorce or two!
I dont know if I'd still be single if it wasnt for online dating although I did it in ore tinder years. I had no idea how to chat up girls in a bar and being a geek 12-17 years ago was distinctly way more male dominated communities and my industry is so I just didnt meet that many single women. Remember one convention I gelled with a girl all weekend to discover she was engaged!
Anyway going on many dates after meeting online helped me learn tonhow to better talk to new people.
I was alright from 14-16 but the Army absolutely screws up your opinion and confidence when it comes to women. It's a very very toxic environment for young men and it's easy to see why divorce is so high amongst service personnel. I was on a reunion a this year and a few of us had a sit down and chat about how we were "back in the day" and all commented on how we would never want our own sons thinking and feeling like that.

How do you cure being a weirdo who can’t talk to women - Talk to women.
How do you cure being a racist bigot- live with people of other races.
How do you cure being homophobic - meet some gay people.

absolutely, and let's not forget women go through all this too, the feelings of vulnerability, of inadequacy, of feelings unwanted and unloved. To try and make this a battle of the sexes it's truly stupid.

More so even. And that doesn’t mean to say that there aren’t a lot of young boys who have their own unique set of struggles and problems to deal with but as you so rightly say, what use is it to make this a battle of the sexes. Oh yeah, that’s right, people can make money out of division. I guess it’s always been like this but still doesn’t make it any less ****.
In my experience with young men now I find them a lot more thoughtful and less angry and aggressive then men of my generation at that age but I was in a hypo aggressive environment and I don't work with youngsters like Harry does so I could be wrong on that.
Unfortunately you still have a considerable amount of men who will tell women how they should think, feel and act. On issues that predominantly impact women.
It's not helped with the clash of traditional religious values vs womens rights. Be it Islam or Christian values of the way women should be.
That's not to take away the issues young men face.

I agree. I also think they tend to be a bit more considerate as well, on the whole. I think back to how outright homophobic I was as a teenager and how normal that was considered to be at the time. It seems that that is less common amongst young boys now.
My boy came home from school last year (he was 8 at the time) and said that someone called him gay and the boy was suspended for the day (I actually thought that was quite harsh on the boy) but when I talked to my son and asked him if he knew what that word meant and all that other woke nonsense like "how did it make you feel" and he just said "I didn't understand dad because I'm not even with a boy"
It was the sweetest, most innocent response and it made me think that maybe some of this woke nonsense has actually worked out alright you know.
"Delivering lessons"
Nothing.
Im unsure if if suspension works but someone who was extremely bullied at school. And despite being straight had homophobic slurs throw my way Im glad schools are at least taking it seriously.
