What If The Problem Is You? Why Women Ignore The Dating Advice That Actually Works
There’s a growing genre of women online who proclaim to be 10s in a posse of other 10s, wondering where all the good men have gone. Their online presence usually consists of word vomiting their dating life horror stories in a big city, personal anecdotes about their sex life, and a presumptuously over-inflated self-assessment. I’m not one to praise the crass and heartless practice of “humbling women” even if they are transparently delusional, because firstly, I’m not a male incel, and secondly, because I don’t think they need any help being humbled.

In the first ten seconds of these whiny videos, they tend to speed run through a list of men’s top dating red flags. Visually, they’re no Megan Fox. Temperamentally? They’re neurotic but judgmental, entitled but unremarkable, high maintenance but withholding. Behaviorally? They’re too upfront about their novelty-seeking, promiscuousness. They over-index on things that are only valuable to other women, not men—things like career success, education, independence, and how funny they think they are.
