>I’m 54. I’ve been dating since the mid-80s, been married, been a mother, gotten divorced, had many relationships long and short. I remember when part of heterosexual male culture involved showing up with a woman to signal something — status, success, desirability. Women were once signifiers of value, even to other men. It wasn’t always healthy, but it meant that men had to show up and put in some effort.

Nah its very easy for any woman to walk into a fairly busy dive bar any night of the week and still get laid nigger you are larping

Itt thread retarded fagets who think old women dont get laid

>Why did men give up?
Women

The author of the article's not saying that, she's complaining that as she's gotten older men are putting in less and less effort

The guy in the dive bar is already leaving with another woman. The competitive market destroys the value except when some slayer wants to do something sneaky and freaky.

I got a phone call from a girl I used to have a major crush on in highschool and she knew it, she jerked me around for 4 years and friend zoned me.

I never knew what that was until later.
>Hey anon, wanna meet up.
Sure.
>Not excited, I don't feel the same as I used to about her, that's long past.
>We just get some lunch.
>Shes asking a lot of personal questions.
>Wants to show me a picture of her kids.
>3 black daughters.
>Puts her hand on mine.
Hey, I don't think about you like that anymore, its been a long long time.
>She flips out "OH MY GOD YOU MEN ARE ALL THE FUCKING SAME! A BUNCH OF DEAD BEATS!"
>Just leave, block on everything.
>Random highschool friends I've not spoke to in years contacting me calling me an asshole.
>Shes been telling them how I wont man up after all this time.
>Best friend from school tells me I need to grow up and settle down, and that taking care of another mans kids isnt bad.
>Contact his wife with photos of him cheating on her when they got married .
>Decide to do it to all of the fuckers contacting me.
>The girls, I had pictures of them doing drugs.
>The guys? Cheating.
>If I am going to become a pariah, ill do it my way.

>>508166306
Picking up men in a dive bar is literal dumpster diving. It's the equivalent of men going to black weight watchers meetings to pick up women.

>>508166938
Did she go around telling them how bad you are for not cucking for her? Holy fuck what a low life to still be obsessed and in heavy contact with her high school friends… or are you in a really small town?

>>508165569
also: "it's entirely their faults and not mine at all"

>>508166938

No mercy

It’s actually a well-written article, but she clearly doesn’t understand how fucked up Millennial women are, at least those born close to 1990 and after, including gen z. She’s a gen xer. She has no idea how fucked we are.

Yet, she admitted to being part of the problem.

> We knew what worked. We knew how to frame a face, a gesture, a moment of implication — just enough to ignite fantasy and open a wallet. I came to understand, in exact terms, what cues tempt the average 18-to-36-year-old cis heterosexual man. What drew him in. What kept him coming back. It wasn’t intimacy. It wasn’t mutuality. It was access to simulation — clean, fast and frictionless.

Like, hello? Cognitive dissonance?

>>508166302
>I used to be a superficial source of validation, now I'm not even that.
Heh, that's funny.

But, seriously, if I see a guy "show up" with a woman, I usually think "poor guy". I imagine all the bullshit he has to go through and all the sacrifice he has to make in order to maintain the relationship.

>>508167241
>well written article
My nigger, with peace and love, you need to read some books if you think this is good. This reads like a teen romance slop novel… I’ve read teen boys porn fantasies that had more debt and understanding of the opposite sex than this shit. She literally begs men to be Cucks for her again. Come on man I know you can do better!

>>508165569
Read a little closer: "Men, everything is your fault. As always."

the entire planet through my late childhood, teenage and now adulthood has shouted in my face that im a disposable, violent object whose only purpose is generating economic units and that showing any form of desire, intimacy or outgoing confidence with women is evil or weak
what the fuck were you expecting me to turn into?

Pretty funny.

I couldn't give less of a fuck what women do or don't do. They have zero influence on 99% of my thoughts. Which is crazy if you told me ten years ago in my early 20s id be saying that now id laugh at you. All you have to do is stay away from the toxic radioactive sludge pit known as american (and ultimately all) women and you'll have a great life.

And yet you still lack the self reflection to realise modern women aren't worth anything or value because they've degraded themselves beyond redemption.

Fun thing is, I can’t find shit about this intellectual property manager called Rachel Drucker any where on the internet except for a few randos. So the article is either written anonymous, or written by an absolute nobody. And the New York Times don’t seem like the kind of newspaper to let you do that.

American women are a massive fucking problem, as well as their simp enablers.

>just enough to ignite fantasy and open a wallet
This bitch has never even met a real man in his entire life, and is describing his beta father. I know, because I had a beta pussy for a father that kept wanting to fight me since I was 17, because even that nigger recognized we are not the same.

>we needed you to be with us.
Every guy has tried explaining this beautiful simplicity to dozens of young women, only to have them haughtily turn around and continue in their pursuit of meaningless escapism through sex. The author of the article should be addressing it to young women, not men.
