Those wars and things men did were all to get a woman of value. Those days are gone.

I think a lot of the way people behave can often have something to do with attracting mates. Men can write love songs, poems, join a band, get tattoos, a certain car to “attract chicks”, live in a certain house, strive to go far in a career, dress a certain way, smell a certain way, build muscles, get extra motivation for athletic achievement, study how to be more romantic, learn how to talk to women, learn how to approach, etc, etc. Our biological drives are very strong.

And there’s probably a lot women do to attract mates also. Sure, it’s best if your every thought about anything isn’t how it leads to attracting a mate, but I think an element of that can be present in a lot of what single people do…especially younger ones who aren’t at that stage where they’ve decided they don’t care anymore and if anything on the romantic front happens it will simply be down to pure chance.

So like I said to start — a man’s life can be consumed by attempting to woo women if he lets it. Probably the less successful he feels in the wooing the more energy he will devote to it.

...Which really brings this thread full circle.

There are plenty of women of value today, and those women want men of value.

It think the internet and how people are easily filtered has a lot to to with any delusions. OLD (and social media where many are approached) makes it much easier to hold out…I think you have 90% of the men casting a big net and “approaching” almost all the women. So how are those women really going to know what they “deserve” in a man? We probably all have some bias to lean toward thinking we are special…OLD puts that on steroids.

How do they expect to meet women if they aren’t socially active? For that matter, how (and why) would one avoid social/physical activity? To the contrary, I think it speaks directly to (a lack of) psychological health.
