I suspect anyone using wikipedia do justify their inability to find a partner is generally undesirable.

go back to the incel corners pls and keep this kind of misogynist rhetoric out of here

But it's objective!! You can objectively measure the value of people. We could just plug people's value into a database and let AI do the match-making. People don't have to be involved in the decision-making. Especially not female people!

maybe you're just undesirable

I didn't realize incel rhetoric had spread to hackernews. God we're doomed.

The fall of this site after 2016 has been sad to watch. Basically turned into low-volume reddit.

Isn't reddit infested by people complaining about "incels"?

What could explain the OnlyFans content creators gender ratio?

that, but also men in their 20s and 30s refusing to settle down, and wasting with gaming, entertainment, and porn (and caling women that are objectively their equal, or even much superior "mid").

i know almost zero men that dont want a girlfriend, many are trying

My only advice to you is: clean up your grooming, spend some time getting in shape, treat women as equals, and stop feeling sorry for yourself. It also doesn't hurt to have a sense of humor. Guys who are funny will always have girlfriends. Even when I was poor as dirt I always had girlfriends.

Get a job, make your bed, clean yourself, read, walk, and talk to everyone.

If you think you can't do any of those things, figure out how. If you're scared to try, start by talking to old people - and really listen.

Stop thinking about yourself, think about others, and don't get fixated on "one girl" or otherwise drive yourself insane.

If you've done all of the above for a few years, then you may be in a position to complain - and change something drastic about your life (move, change jobs, travel, etc).

But the root of it all is treat everyone as a person worthy of respect, not just "hot girls" as trophies to be won. It ain't no video game.


I have a close male friend in their mid-thirties that has struggled dating since I've known him (~10 years). He is attractive, dresses well, goes to the gym, eats well, has a few hobbies, and isn't emotionally stunted nor suffer from any arrested development issues. My girlfriend thinks he might be cursed since we don't have any single friends to match-make him with.

He moved to a different city a few years ago and reported more hookups, but serious dating is just as bad. I'm starting to notice him becoming tired of it all, even though he hides it quite well.

Given it's not realistic to keep moving to different cities as it's financially and socially expensive to do so. What should I suggest?


Tell him that the option he wants is simply not available on the menu anymore.

He is free to chose some other options, just not that one.

Fucking this! Jesus I want to love men but the vast majority of them aren't doing themselves any favors

Many are trying to get some punani, many have given up and live in the setup I described (some openly incel-y, others expecting the girlfriend to fall from the sky), way fewer are trying to settle. At best they want to settle after 35+.

interesting how HN downvoted this one, but not previous :P
