If you manage to get through a few hours without saying the word "bitch", I'd say your chances are 50/50.

It's not weird, because they don't really want to get off in the company of a woman. That's just a metonym. What they want is to own/control women, and feminists are less likely to let that happen.
-
Some of them don’t even seem to be interested in women in *any* sense, they’ve just twigged to the idea that there’s a status element associated with getting laid, and that’s the only thing they’re hungry for. Those are the guys who really freak me out.

Yup. And flatly have no idea why anyone would be interested in anyone else for non-instrumental reasons, including themselves, and have built echo chambers where this is such a baseline concept that most of them don’t realize they believe it.
-
Which is precisely why they believe in virtue signalling. The idea that someone could actually hold beliefs that aren't rooted in self interested is incomprehensible to them
-
Or it’s the common rhetorical trick of calling someone out for doing something totally ordinary and fundamental to all forms of human communication as though it’s unusual and wrong. Hence the sui generis, narrow terminology.

1) I don’t think it’s that weird. If you have an idealized vision of the past and your hypothetical role in it, and an idealized vision of relationships and your hypothetical role in them, and the linkage is…
-
2) ...that they allow you to avoid confronting and surmounting your very real present fears, insecurities and limitations, which in the short term sucks but in the long term is how you mature emotionally, and you’re motivated solely by avoidance of discomfort, it’s natural.
-
3) So they fit together perfectly, because it’s not about pursuit of sex so much as it’s about wishing for reward without effort, and reactionary visions of the past are just the most immediately accessible theater stage for this manchild psychodrama.
-
4) Even step one, explaining slowly and patiently that relationships are not rewards but tasks, adventures, and occasionally 3am sex-related fart-comedy sketches all sintered together, is an enormous level of effort to convey to these guys without a cattle prod handy.

Yeah but a feminist woman doesn't feel obliged to hang around if the fellow is an asshole. They want a woman they can have all to themselves whether they're any good themselves, or not.
