>This seems quite condescending; I'm not sure if that's your intent. It's not. It's a fine-line between being empathetic and enabling. Just as there's a difference between being rejected by women and using that as evidence that no women will ever love you, or that women themselves are the problem. I believe that these online communities reenforce the narrative of collective victimhood, when really it's an individual with a bad string of luck, a sensitive soul, who would do better to learn to be stoic, equanimous, and find joy in themselves and the fight. Because life is hard. We will all suffer great injustice at some point. But that doesn't mean its hopeless; it's a challenge for us to transcend. I've known very ugly men in real life who had great personalities and no problem meeting women. It would have been easy for them to grow cynical and dark, but they didn't.
