It's weird that the dudes who go all in on preaching the self-help/motivation circuit do drift into misogyny eventually. I think it's a marketing thing: It's self-help but for MEN because self-help is really feminized for whatever reason and tapping into dating resentment is such an easy way to get/retain an audience.
- Art9681 4y agoMy theory is that a lot of the "empowerment" philosophy is not very compatible with "dating and relationships". Most of the advice is "take time for yourself" and from my experience "time alone" is one of the last things a potential partner is willing to give you. Rightfully so? But I can see how people, regardless of gender, that are very self-sufficient and occupy their time with hobbies they enjoy would eventally sour on failed relationships due to the time investment required that they were unwilling to give. Finding the correct balance remains a mystery.
- davidguetta 4y agoThe reason is that if you wanna be a player, being somewhat misogynyistic is a mindset / attitude that works well in practice. A large bunch of girls (kinda sadly) respond well to that even though that doesnt help to build strong relationships or meeting high quality women.
