The solution with respect to how we as men think, we simply need to take stock of where we have been, where we want to go,etc,etc. Re study all of our cherished beliefs about the world (and ourselves) and get rid of shit that does not apply. We can make our contribution to stopping it by taking care of our own children (if we have any) and offering contrary perspectives to the bullshit that we see out here whenever we get the opportunity.
We can stop trying to identify with both the "good guy" and the "bad boy" template b/c at the end of the day those are ideas (no matter how true or false) espoused by others, and what type of man lives his life or judges his overall worth based solely on what others think? Not a dude I would tell my female fam to fuck with....we also know that not all "upstanding" dudes are cool and not all dudes on the street are trashy people...these women say one thing and do another, so alot aint a reliable source for information,those who are see the sun setting early and get in where they fit in.....that is,make themselves into a woman a man they want would like as a wife...
You already know we cant overtly change the women, they have made it a point to basically ignore us and what we think while assuming they have all the answers with respect to relationships, while going in circles getting the same results. Its all hubris and narcissism, on both sides.
The problem is not that these women choose "thugs", but that they complain about the consequences when they coochie dries up or gets as wide as a whales mouth and they want a husband but dont want to be a wife...
Its real simple,we need to stop looking for all encompassing "solutions" to the bullshit out here(ie waiting on a liberator) and "be a solution" based on our own strengths,weaknesses and ideas. That takes personal accountability,reflection,etc.
To me this aint about what the women like or say they like, but rather recovering, on an individual basis, our sense of self that is obviously lacking and it shows when we have to question our worth if some woman does not vibe with us...
the rejection reveals that...
shit many women have their own agenda so rejection is a blessing...a man can be "too nice" for one girl from a middle class background and "just right" for another chick from any and every other background, makes no difference...
the only constant is us men...the downfall of alot of "player types" and "nice guys" is how they judge their value based on how much sex they get....clever women know how to flip these niggas for profit...Ive seen it too many times...either extreme is a wrong template to follow b/c it is limiting,hence all the "woe is me" shit niggas be on or the bravado "Im the man" shit other niggas be on..
