What sort of bullshit is this? "dating life" Isn't even one of the top causes, let alone the single biggest. Causes such as
-
lack of acceptance of emotional expression
-
lack of emotional communication
-
lack of support structures
-
financial pressures and hardship
-
lack of emotional acceptance (E.G. You)
are all larger causes than "can't get a girlfriend". This is a large and complex issue, and trying to twist this into some victim blaming chauvinist bullshit about objectification is insane.

>I have the absolute best advice for men that doesn’t require a book. Stop being a misogynist.
And this shit is why people like Andrew Tate get a following.

It sucks, because as a guy who is traditionally masculine, but also believes people don't *need* to be, I don't really feel welcome or respected on either side. Hell, I honestly feel more accepted and respected by the crazy MAGA crowd.

Then why have suicide rates been consistently going up for the past couple decades?
As a man, It's really tough. You either go with the right where you have to "be a man" and have all these antiquated values thrown at your face, or you go with the left where "It's okay to be yourself*" (* unless yourself is anything that happens to actually align with traditional masculinity, at which point you need to change).
I've personally been shamed for multiple hobbies & personality traits that just so happen to align with conservative/traditional examples of masculinity, even though it's what makes me happy.

>how the author doesn't understand what toxic masculinity is.
More so, you don't understand how it's being used erroneously. Things like "going to the gym" or "playing sports in school" are being labelled as toxic masculinity. It is important to understand that things can be masculine and not inherently bad, and that is a message many people don't understand.

I work in engineering, and compared to stuff like CFD or FEA, Monte Carlo is fun to write. It also lets you do some really fun visuals.

The MLS tracks every time a listing has been posted, as well as any price reductions. They likely just went through every listing and counted any that had a "price reduction" input after the most recent "closed" input.

Because black people are almost entirely Democrat (some sources put it as high as 95%). Hispanics are closer to 2/3rd Democrat.

That doesn't surprise me. Black & Milds are cheap as hell, gas station available, and relatively popular. I'm shocked dipping isn't higher though

please stop this chauvinistic bullshit. Not all issues in society can be rooted out as men objectifying women. There can be more than one cause of issues, and not everything revolves around what you think is most important.
