This is like white knighting, except it's worse because your attempts to "help" are saying that we're a bunch of losers rolling in the mud that are powerless to help ourselves against big mean societies. Yes, some/many of us are hosed up or have been hosed up, but no matter how much you may insist otherwise, we're still responsible for our actions. You're an rear end for suggesting otherwise.

This. I don't even get his argument-- there's some sexual conspiracy, so give up trying to have sex and just lobby the government to legalize prostitution? Even if his crazy theories were true, it doesn't negate the fact that self improvement is the only way you're going to learn to have healthy relationships and (eventually) healthy sexual interactions.

The thing is, this biotruth crap is full of poo poo since in reality many people don't want to reproduce. And even if women did just want that, they would not be going for someone who was less virile and more likely to die.

No, no. I think ZergFluid might be on to something here. I think women actually don't want to sleep with unattractive socially retarded men with lovely personalities. They may infact sleep with a man who is reasonably older than themselves who isn't any of those things.

I'm willing to bet though, contrary to what he seems to be implying, women also may sleep with men who are reasonably younger than themselves who are none of those things either. That makes the 'sexual marketplace' even harder for him to compete in. I think what he seems to be saying is "If only women didn't have the option to sleep with people they really wanted to but were somehow forced through a lack of potential partners to consider me I might not be a virgin.". I don't think this is an unfair conclusion from his perspective.

It is most certainly is not, since female sexuality is worth more than male sexuality and men have a stronger sex drive. This in effect means that the women who lose out in mating will be fundamentally more sub-optimal than the males who lose out.

Many people might not want to reproduce but the mechanics of reproduction are not left to our rational thought processes only but also are comprised of our basic sexual desires. You might not be interested in reproduction but reproduction is interested in you...

I don't even think killing off all of the top men would work because the top women would rather be celibate or maybe even just start having sex with other top women and put more research into developing artificial sperm.

I think the government is pretty much going to have to round up the top women and force them to have sex with bottom men for this to be a fair society.

Here's just one problem with this whole deal. It's all predicated on the idea that in the '50s, everyone paired off with someone else the same age range and the same level of attractiveness, and everything bad is due to the shift since then. The obvious problem is that the same thing was happening in the '50s that's happening now. You really think Don Draper was limited to Betty or his hand? That older execs weren't going after younger secretaries then?

That was the arrangement before the sexual revolution -- women were encouraged to marry early, which in effect meant they settled early in life for men of their equivalent sex rank, thereby leading everyone to find their place early on in life with not many people left out in the cold.

Keep in mind that I fundamentally think it is in the natural state of mankind for a large chunk of the male population to not mate. As mentioned earlier, something like 80% of the women who ever lived managed to reproduce while only 40% of the men have.

However, I believe civilization owes a lot to the fair distribution of the resource of female sexuality. Indeed, heterosexual monogamous marriage might have lasted as long as it did because it gave an incentive to the males of their societies (who would otherwise have lost to chiefs and noblemen and such having harems) an incentive to work for their societies. Traditional heterosexual marriage is sexual Marxism.

There is no inherent worth to sex or existence of a sex marketplace. Men having stronger sex drive is a myth.

Truth. There are also a lot of women who don't reach their sexual peak until their 30's, who according to this guy are all grandmas.

I need to reiterate this: Multiple things can be true at the same time. Just because I believe in what I'm saying does not mean that I discount individual failings/faults leading to virgoons to keep being virgins into their late 20s. Life is complex and there are no simple causes. I felt that many of you were being simplistic in how you kept blaming these men without taking into consideration larger forces. At the same time one shouldn't get occupied with those fancy larger forces and neglect that self-improvement/being sociable can help improve one's chances.

The virgins in this thread are not on your side. They mostly sound like pretty normal people who just need help with their anxiety/health and need to get out more.

If we are being overly lovely toward these bottom men you are talking about it's because they only exist in your head and you seem to think men who put no effort into taking care of themselves deserve to be with super hot women but not vice versa because unattractive women don't count as people.

The general attractiveness of young women is a general signal of their fertility and health. Just because the woman might not be fertile does not mean that the signal of that attractiveness will fail to have the intended effect of provoking male interest. It is the signal itself that draws male interest and not a rational consideration of what it might mean. Nature could not trust reproduction to rational processes after all.

Of course they are allowed to complain and no one has said differently. There is a difference between complaining about how difficulties in your life have held you back from sexual relationships and blaming everything on the shallowness of women or some weird sex marketplace theory with no basis in reality.

I'm too lazy to quote but you did straight up say that sex with an older or unattractive woman doesn't count.

Yes, because "go have sex with grandmas" is no solution for the plight of virginal males since men are not built to find grandmas sexually desirable in the least.

And yes, I do believe that even virginal men are not willing to sink very low just to have sex. If a guy is Sex Rank 4 he has every right to not want to lose his virginity to a woman is a woman a 1 or a 2, the lowest of the low.

This ranking system does not exist. This marketplace poo poo does not exist. It's in your head and the heads of all of the other socially maladjusted men who refuse to take any responsibility for their failures. You stew together and reinforce each others' whining uneducated theories while becoming more and more detached from reality and more frustrated and angry until you end up killing yourself or other people.

No. You are the one who claimed that women's "best years" are their 20's and those years are being stolen by older men. When asked why older women (women over 30) are not an option, you referred to them as being unattractive grandmas.

No, I most certainly do not think it would count if these virginal men who have posted in this thread had gotten laid by real 60 year old women (not that human nature is such that these grandmas wopuld want to be sleeping with youngsters anyway. These two groups repel each other sexually.)

As for the part where you say that I think "less attractive women don't count as potential partners," then, once again, consider me puzzled that you could reach this conclusion from what I've written.


Clearly not referring to 30 year old women as grandmas but women twice that age.
