Alright, so clowning aside, why are a lot of young men not confident anymore? Its not just 4chan autists, even normgroids seem to be shy and quiet like women now. What is going on?
>>
I have lots to hide like being a fag so I'm really insecure about it all, what you call shy is more like fear that I'll be outed.
>>
Confident means asshole
And the current society don't support asshole, and that's a good thing, though it's done in a super gay way
>>
>>84489243
It's obvious why lol. We live in a time of feminism where we actually acknowledge women that they are equal as us men , the thing is women egos are so inflated up the ass / rejection is more shittier than it was before.
Old people had it easy as fuck when it came to dating. Now women have the option of fucking Chad and then settling for less when she realizes she doesn't have the potential to get the same men anymore.
Nothing wrong with women being as equal as us men. The thing is we don't automatically filter a female because she weighs more or has a high body count. Men are pretty lenient about women's appearances and standards.
On the other hand ? Lol I'm 5'5. I lost count and stopped caring after 5 women who are 4'11-5ft tell me my height is an issue.
>>
Confidence comes from years of success and personal winnings. That's why it isn't easily faked. Women can easily recognize it because the popular guys that everyone liked acted a certain way from being in that position.

When you're used to being rejected, flaked on, left on read etc, you don't have those experiences to pull from so you get anxious because you're worried that this current interaction will be like the old ones.
>>
>>84489243
They didn't grow up with the positive reinforcement and success one needs to develop confidence.

Getting bullied and called ugly every day doesn't exactly help a kid's self esteem.

"cocky" and "asshole" happen because that's the natural response to always winning. you think your shit doesn't stink because you don't face adversity and you become a terrible person. People hate on Joffrey from GoT but that dude was super realistic. Of course some snotty nosed brat would act like that if they became a king.
>>
I would be more confident if I didnt have gynecomastia. I have to get that shit removed but Im not american and all the gyno specialists live there

COVID was the nail in the coffin. People had been spending an increasing amount of time online, men especially because of video games and parasocial relationships. It was an easy escapism if you were a bit of a loser or a bit autistic, and then normalfaggots flooded everywhere with their shit once lockdowns started rolling out.
>>
COVID ruined many high school and college experiences, which are formative years of a person's life.

Most zoomers are only children and grew up in neighborhoods with few to no other people their age.

I wish Covid had come when I was in HS/college. These were miserable years for me. If they weren't for you why are you here.

They are the target of a billion-dollar industry that only exists if they don't have confidence.

confident with what? women? men arent confident with women because there is literally nothing to be confident about unless you can easily replace her and the only guys who can be like that are good looking guys. some average looking guy cant easily replace a woman with another, so no matter what he says or does hes always completely full of shit and is nothing more than delusional. women have all the power now with relationships unless she is desperate for that guy and they only get desperate for a guy who can easily replace her. women are attracted to feedback loops
>>
>>84489243
Now that women don't depend on men for survival men don't have any leverage against them for sex

Correct. I know people think women are retarded, and they are, but they can sense if you get a lot of pussy and when you don't.

You mean a trillion dollar industry? Men's cogs and insecurities are the very oil and blood that keeps this system running, and its always been like this time immemorial. Why else would they do this?

>Metoo movement caused girls to use that shit more freely, and in turn caused guys to be more cautious.
>Internet is everywhere, so rejection from girls gets blasted and the guy gets humiliated forever. As they say, the internet is forever
>Girls are raised to think they "deserve" the best, despite not really earning it, thus self-centered girls are on the rise
>They're finding out a guy's life is significantly harder mainly because no one really gives a shit about them.

It's a really big mystery.

Because people refuse to shape their own opinions and experience stuff on their own, and instead just 1984 themselves every single day. People will call you crazy for pointing out how psychologically harmful social media is (without a hint of irony) but the reality is that these apps are designed to keep your attention, be that via ragebaiting or showing you demoralizing stuff, whatever it takes to make you invested and spend more time and engage more with what is being shown to you.
People are also seemingly completely fucking retarded and they don't realize that foreign powers 100% use these apps to conduct psychological warfare on the population, and that is almost always directed at military-aged men and young women. Nothing better for an adversarial country than for your country to stop reproducing and start fighting for ideologies that will cause instability and unrest. The CIA was doing this long before the internet even existed, why wouldn't intelligence agencies be utilizing platforms that reach hundreds of millions without any effort?

Now you have a generation that was raised mostly with smartphones in hand (and constant internet access) becoming/being adults, and they will continue to parrot what they're being told without thinking critically about anything (just like the boomers did).

Add onto this the retarded culture war bs that has been ramping up since circa 2012, where one side is always portrayed as sexist fascist pigs, and the other as some sort of guardian of justice and equality - all of which has been constantly blasted in everyone's faces 24/7 on their phones.

The world would become a much better place for everyone (except the people running shit) if people went back to "dumbphones" and stopped mindlessly scrolling fucking TikTok and Instagram all the time, and I say this without a hint of irony.

Sorry for the schizorant, but sometimes we all go a little schizo.

Thank God people on 4chan know confidence comes from winning.
I have done a good job.

It's due to learned helplessness. You throw young boys into an abusive gynocentric world where they get abused and humiliated on a daily basis and they fail to develop a strong sense of personal autonomy. Confidence can't develop under those circumstances.
>>
Becuse they are dumber
>>
>>84489243
Hypergamy.
Confidence is trained by success. Most men today aren't good enough to have success with women
>>
>>84489243
You're not looking for someone confident. You just want some annoying loudmouth. I'm not here for your entertainment.

Most are not raised with a mix group of ages. 50+ years ago you would you be around mixed aged siblings and comparable. It's why the Baby Boomers fuction as they do, on average they had 5 brothers and sisters and regularly soclized with cousins on a monthly basis.

Fast forward to now and most men are lucky to have one brother/sister they grew up around and most their socialization is from school so it's not like they make any networks worth having, thus they get no experience to become confident.

AS LONG as you dont have to work alongside uni, it will be by fsr the best time of your life. You can do everything. You show up for like 2 days a week to the mandatory lessons, lock in once every 2 weeks for 2 days to learn everything for tests and submit assignments and outside of that you are completely free.

Because if you're not chad, talking to women is considered "catcalling" or "sexual harassment" and is a quick way to get yourself on a list

i'm 37 and i was always cute enough for fat girls to pursue and do things for me

Online dating apps allowed Chads to fuck every mid woman within a 100 mile radius which made these women think that they also deserve commitment from those types of men. This raised their sense of self worth to impossible levels which made them bitter which made them think that it's acceptable to reject looksmatched men in a rude and humiliating way publicly if they approached them. They direct their anger at mid and ugly men for the things Chad did to them (pump and dump) because they are not capable of connecting the dots and seeing past the halo effect which works as a major reality distortion field for them.

I have nothing to be confident about. Anything I say is wrong so I just do the easiest thing and not talk or engage with people

>>84489243
What do I have to be confident about? If you're the designated loser on the first day of school, it follows you forever. It's the anti-halo effect.

Women find 93% of men unattractive, so 93% of men act as though women don't find them attractive

I am confident. I am confident in not wanting to have a relationship and not wasting my time on any dating bullshit, whatsoever. You brainlets can't comprehend it. Which is why you cope by making shit up, like
>he gay
>he insecure
>all chad are closet homosexuals
>his dick doesn't work
Meanwhile Chad is human and opts to choose peace and quiet instead of some obese ugly slut.

>>84494606
We don't. We're just going to disappear and they'll be happy about it. They want us to die.

Don't women have like free will?
Can't they choose to date guys like Reviewbrah instead of guys who will beat women?
>>
>>84494756
Chad Only is their expression of free will. They don't have to settle for their local looksmatch anymore. They have never been more free. If they want to get married young to a loyal and devoted husband, they can still do that (they don't). What they really want is to get torn to shreds by Chad's fat cock while girlbossing it up until they settle for the guy they should have been with all along when she has nothing left to offer.
Why should any sub9.9 be confident when he enters adulthood already knowing this is his fate?
>>
>>84489243
they were raised by women and taught by female teachers who view their sexuality as inherently oppressive.
>>
>>84494606
That's why people would tell you to go after ugly women and get experience with them so you have at least some good experiences to draw from and then "level up" from there. Women are mostly the same so if you get good at talking to ugly women you'll be good at talking to attractive ones.

But yeah there's no good way to "fake" it. Women are good enough at telling if you're faking it that there's no point.
>>
>>84495102
Ugly women are also Chad Only. They won't talk to you.
>>
>>84495112
Yeah dating apps ruined it. In the 00s fat girls were much less confident and you could fuck them a lot easier, supposedly. Nowadays even fat ugly women are super confident because they're getting lots of attention on the apps.
