I feel like this is more of a truth for women than men. If a man has trouble getting a date he is given constructive criticism on how to improve his dating life. Just look around the web and on this very website to see this truth. It is even so in the 'real' world. Men or told to lose weight, hit the gym, make more money, and improve your mouthpiece. This isn't necessarily the case with women.
Women are told by their female counterparts that the right man will come along - or don't settle. You don't really hear that much from women when it comes to self improvement geared toward finding a partner. Men on the other hand - if they are perceived as being 'sorry ass men' who cant get a date are laughed at until they self improve in needed areas of their lives.
I dunno. "Constructive" criticism for men doesn't entail self-improvement but seems to include devolving into a lying, a$$hole to get women based off the myth that the reason why ur not getting the creme de Le creme is b/c they are all hung up on a$$holes.
It's never reasonable self-reflection or teaching people to value others beyond shallowness.
Instead the common vein is: you deserve a dyme. The only reason why one hasn't fallen into ur lap is because deez shallow hoes are evil and only like the worst types of men, so become one of the worst types of men and then she'll see past ur cheeto-stained hands and thinly veiled contempt for anything with a vagina to worship you the way u deserve instead of wasting their time on those other (thug/alpha/any other catchphrase to describe men who are getting p*ssy).
For women it's: ur a special snowflake, how dare these evil b*stards get disgusted by ur fat roll! You mean he doesn't wanna be an emasculated living atm for u?! Gasp! How dare he want something other than missionary sex! That pervert! And he likes women with thick in shape bodies?! Wants you to have REAL HAIR?! Ur Idris Elba is waiting for u and if he doesn't want ur mediocre self then he's not a real man!
Nobody is encouraging actual real growth for men and women like: get a damn job, cultivate a fukking personality, stop living in ur head and actually interact with others, go to the fukking gym, sex isn't evil so do better u nut killing snooze, fix ur face and ur attitude u awkward fukk, u ain't fine urself bytch, get over urself, go expand ur perspective to enhance ur personality, get ur life right and focus on living positively and well then people will want to be near you.
Nope. We're children and instead of real self-improvement we want pats on the back, a convenient scapegoat for our failures and quick fixes no matter how delusional (or pricey) they are.
