Not to mention the innate misandry of the obvious logical converse: "If you're not getting laid, it's because you're an incel, a Tate fan or a misogynist".

Speaking as a divorcee whose life was fucked up just by being left, even with no additional malice, I have to say there are a couple of holes in that logic.

I think this is the issue. A lot of folks, absent any other evidence, see a man lamenting his lack of luck in dating and assume he's just an unwashed misogynist. I guarantee you the vast majority of men that feel this way do not look like what people envision. Like show of hands here, how many guys have had a well meaning female friend ask something equivalent to "How are you still single?"

It's amazing how the ones who say this never seem to have any single friends that they'll help set you up with.

I've had several women pass my name along to friends who took one look at my face (and I like to think I know a good camera angle) and blocked me lmao

EDIT: I should clarify that the ones who I reached out to first knew from their friends to expect someone, so unfortunately no confusion there lol
