>>2004The reality is that MeToo scared the utter fucking shit out of self-aware guys and they're now terrified that if they make the move and it goes wrong, the woman will then at a minimum, post about it all online, dox the guy and destroy his life.
This was the atmosphere that Zoomers had their sexuality awoken into and it's scarred a lot of guys.
I've literally had female friends of mine talk about this, that nice guys are "too woke" and "too scared to make a move now" or "too timid and not assertive enough in relationships".
The irony is, that guys who literally don't give a single fucking shit about any of this stuff, are the onest that get the girls because they actually have confidence and game and no problem with being assertive.
My tinder game was fucking atrocious, like I would try talk to the girl, complement her, have a discussion about their interests and they would ghost every time. So I asked my 4/10 Chad friend "You look like shit, you live live shit, your house is a trash pile and yet you hook up with girls every weekend, what the fuck are you doing?" and he is like "give me your tinder", he started messaging very direct, very sexual, aggressive shit at women and had literally 3 in the span of 10 minutes agreeing to come around for a hookup. After that, I used Tinder as essentially just a fun shitposting app where I would shitpost the most cringe, sexual pickup lines at women and I shit you not, literally would pick up 2-3 girls a week.
Then covid hit and my life was ruined, but that is another story.
tldr: Girls like assertive guys who will push them up against a wall and kiss them, girls don't like whiny men and when they talk about men being sensitive and emotional and talking about consent, it's literally the infamous focus testing "coffee paradox". People say what they think will make them look good, rather than their actual desires.
