Do you have any advice for those who clearly weren’t cool then and can’t be cool now; those who were clearly picked on?
Also, how does this observation change your perception of that person?

I’m told at least a couple of times a week, “You’re too hard on yourself.”
I’m not that successful, rich, or happy yet.
I’ll never stop being ‘hard on myself’ until I am.
Why would I accept mediocrity out of myself?
A man who is hard on himself,
Is also a man whose life will be filled with success, money & happiness.

I’ve learned that whether it’s in a relationship, friendship, or anywhere else, people start to feel all kinds of ways about being told ‘no’.

Don’t women realise that men do this not out of some kind of superiority complex, but rather as a sign of affection and care? Looking to solve problems is how the male brain works.
Solution for men: ask whether she’s telling you because she wants solutions, or to simply be heard

This is one topic I always feel conflicted by. I am a virgin myself, yet I’m told hoping to be with someone who also is would be ‘unrealistic’ or ‘setting my standards too high’. Yet, there are failings (incl. impure thoughts) I still repent for. Unsure how to square this circle.

Unfortunately, the better you are and the harder you work at your job, the harder it will be.
When that’s how you operate, prepared to go above and beyond, you’ll be used thanklessly and never promoted.
You’re too much of a threat; if promoted, you’ll show up your superiors.
I was an opener at a gym and the only employee in the building from 5:30am-9am 5 days a week.
The manager position directly above me opened up. I applied, and got it.

The whole ‘be a provider’ schtick speaks to this. It’s a privileged view which lacks total nuance regarding the current state of the world and society. ‘Building better Betas’ is a solid way to put it. I think that’s what has rankled me when it comes to TradCons.

I agree, it shouldn’t be a deciding factor, and there will be a different threshold for everyone.

I think it’s the disposability with which men are viewed that leads women to not see the potential repercussions for them if they were to continue when she says no but means yes.
They don’t actually care about him in that situation, so it’s of no consequence to her.

When I was 18-20 and drank a lot, people used to think I was nearly 30.

This is why I feel jaded with the right just as much as the left.
Finding the balance between the reducing economic potential for men, the loneliness of all young adults, and the generation’s general directionlessness is something neither side has offered viable solutions for.
The conservative vision for young men is a joke.
They want you to take on the responsibility of family life with none of the authority. They want you to take pride in being a nation of brown consumers. They want you working 12 hours a day as a plumber. Completely demoralizing.
