Have SIMPs, white knights, male feminist, and general thirsty dudes messed up the dating scene for the rest of us?
And are they to blame for unrealistic standards and expectations today's women have?

Have SIMPs, white knights, male feminist, and general thirsty dudes messed up the dating scene for the rest of us?
And are they to blame for unrealistic standards and expectations today's women have?
Most men online, the forums and dating sites are the quintessential narcissistic beta male.
He is unattractive to women. Instead of self-handicapping or drinking himself to death, he lives in a world in his own mind. His outlandish shit talking is often hilarious, but speaks to a level of delusion.
His incessant watching of TV reinforces this point. Such levels of media immersion are correlated to levels of narcissism, as you either identify or become envious of the characters. You start to live out lives you don’t get to in real life. With too much engagement in it, it can lead to blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.
This is the reality of the beta male in modern society. Unable to come to terms with the sexual revolution, and social decline, they check out and live lives in their own heads.
When women talk about guys far overplaying their hand, such as on dating sites, they are right sometimes. Sometimes it is self-handicapping (intentionally picking women that far outstrip your SMV) or just plain thirstiness.
The thirst of a beta male isn’t just sexual – it reflects the desire for female approval in the forums and in Real Life!.
Unable to get that positive attention as a child, they act it out through their sexuality. They may white-knight for female friends, but the thirst gets most palpable when presented with a sexually attractive female.
They are acting out failed relationships with their mother – “I should just able to offer myself and that should be good enough.”
It reflects the stupid prevailing advice given to men, but it also has a level of immaturity to it. That line above is something a kid should be able to say to his mother and get unconditional love in return.
Many men on dating sites and in forums display the lives of some low-status males. Suddenly the ball-busting Guy is a huge p*ssy and this is evident by taking the side of women and trying to score points to gain approval from women they will never have sex with.
Think about it – if he just used some of that bluster and take-no-shit attitude (although he does put up with a lot shit from women, he would able to get some female attention.

While I can't help but agree with Bruce on every point, I'm an individual so far removed from such common clichés, I feel like the exception that hails from a world where men-be-men and women-be-women. So much for current life on planet earth, eh?
