There are fat women with high standards too. Regardless of there being fat ppl having trouble in the dating market, most average ppl are having trouble in the modern dating market as well. The existence of fat ppl invalidates none of the points being brought in these videos. Also, the videos aren't about hating on women. ForReal and other blue-pillers just think that because they haven't watched them and they probably haven't even tried dating apps themselves. They're either married (from decades or ago) or their most recent dating experiences predate the dating apps (going back to the 90's or early 00's).

Aaron Clarey tried to set up some of his guy friends (who he rates as above average) on dates many times and the women usually ghost them. Aaron concluded that most women aren't interested in men these days. Of course, if you're loaded with money and can afford to travel to exoctic places, they pick up on it and it's a different story. Also. if you're 6'3"+ and built like a Chad. That is, not having an average (not fat) build, but swol.

Or maybe you should just go out into the wild and meet people the old-fashioned way and not rely on "apps". If you go do the things you like to do, there's a good chance you encounter someone also doing those things and you know, you might even find you have other common interests and there may be a natural connection/attraction.
Before all that technological hubbub, I met my girlfriend, now wife, in the library of all places. I, with my (group of) friend(s), would hang there once or twice a week. She lived in the neighbourhood of the library and would do the same with her friends. It took a few months... ...but that was back in 1990 and we still had a rotary phone and magazines with pictures of naked ladies... ...if we happened to come across any.

She liked him at first, but then he proceeded to spend the entire date talking about how cool he was in High School.........he was like 30.......lol

The video directly above your post covers the cold approach in public spaces topic. A woman said she had a polite, interesting conversation at her gym with a man, then the man asked her out to dinner.. Instead of simply telling the guy she's not interested, she has to avoid going to the gym (because he's some kind of creeper solely for asking her out, no other reason was given) and make a public issue of it on the internet.

She liked him at first, but then he proceeded to spend the entire date talking about how cool he was in High School.........he was like 30.......lol Dating is much like interviewing. Talking of high school glory days is a major turn-off to women because it indicates that the guy isn't doing well currently and likely has a low-status, low-pay job. Also, talking about video games (even when a common interest with the woman - as described in the Louis Rossmann video above) because many (not all) women still perceive playing video games as nerd/loser activity for adult males.. she perceives him as low status because of the topic of conversation (Zelda/video games). When a man who she already perceives as low-status then asks her out on a date, she then recalculates his status in her mind and her perception becomes that he's a creep (thus, she changes up her day to day plans, like no longer going to the gym to avoid ever seeing him again, rather than normalizing the situation by letting him know she's not interested).

He isn't wrong, thats one thing that people against student loan forgiveness aren't getting, there are plenty of people who have given up on having children because of the current student loan system. How are you supposed to buy a house, pay student loans, and pay for children + daycare. It can't be done unless you are in the upper-middle class.

Not only is the expense even greater than student loans, but shelter is a requirement. People can avoid student loans by going the military, trades, or self-employment routes. There's practically no way around housing costs, unless you live out of a van ("down by the river" as Chris Farley used to say).

There's abundant unoccupied land in the USA, so the only excuse for not building more housing (to bring economies of scale and costs down) is greed.

I like to back up what I say with a link but I'm at work right now. It used too be you could finish college, get married at 23, buy a house and start a family. You didn't have student loans back then. There was an article in the New York Times I think, they interviewed a married couple. They were in their early 30s and had been married for like 10 years. They both graduated with huge amounts of student loans which is common these days, they moved back in with one of their parents and spent every extra cent to pay of their student loans for 10 years, they could not start a family because of the loan debt. Then they were looking into buying a house but they could not because the cost of housing was so huge it used to be you could put down $10,000. I remember that is what my dad put down for his house in like 1996. Now they require $100,000 down. So they were going to have to keep living with their parents to build up a 6 figure deposit after spending 10 years paying off student debt. Still no kids. How are they supposed too do it? The anti-student loan forgiveness people are like "I shouldn't have to pay off other peoples debt!". Have you ever flown an F-35? www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-28/lockheed-f-35-s-cost-grows-modestly-by-its-standards-to-412-billion#xj4y7vzkgAlmost nobody has yet you paid $1.3 TRILLON DOLLARS for it. Don't even get me started on the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I read they cost 5+ TRILLION DOLLARS and thousands of American lives.

Generally, College is a terrible ROI these days (except for specific fields like medical). Medicine is fairly lucrative because colleges restrict the number of students admitted to their programs (30 per program per year at some colleges), so the job market in healthcare isn't flooded with too many candidates and landing a job is pretty easy (with a degree).

A lot of women start OF out of desperation to make money. Also 19 is crazy young to get married. My sister got married at 19 and regrets the hell out of it.

A lot of women start OF out of desperation to make money. Also 19 is crazy young to get married. My sister got married at 19 and regrets the hell out of it. At my previous job, one co-worker was married to his high school sweet heart (for probably 2 decades) since HS and they were/are happy. Everybody has their own opinion and individual experience/s. Personally, I could argue that getting married at any age is crazy. lol I understand freedom and ppl wanting to live their own lives - letting ppl do whatever they please. However, the impact for society as a whole doesn't have the same equivalency as an individual's freedom & impact.. like seeing the forest from the trees. It's the alternative path that most go down these days - the path of riding the CC and/or selling themselves for sex (online or irl) for a couple of decades or so, then subsequentially unable to pair bond, and 100x more likely to not have kids from either not wanting to or biological clock running out - is what he's tacitly referring to. Except, he's thinking of the bigger picture, the forest. i.e. the effect, on the societal level, of this mindset (the so-called deregulated sexual marketplace) is population decline. The eventual fallout of that (fewer younger, working class) is a weak economy, weak military, civilization decline or collapse. Truthfully, this is the strongest argument for increasing immigration, since any civilization needs a thriving working class for a strong economy and the benefits that that brings (including massive entitlement programs, SS for retirement and such). Although, it's also true that poorer, less educated, illegal immigrants (not all, but on the average) are a net tax drain that will lead to govt default on its debt just that much sooner.
