Why Tinder is so hard for guys?

I don't know, but many guys who would have been considered bottom-tier before the dawn of dating apps have actually experienced an INCREASE in odds of success pursuing sex partners thanks to those apps. It opens up online avenues these guys can use to meet women they normally would have been too awkward to find in popular social settings without apps. And despite what pessimists will say, plenty of women of varying age groups are actually down for a casual hook up with some broken-faced Groundskeeper Willy IF he's willing to share wealth, recreation, and even just his dick for a night. Just like some men prowl to use partners for sex, so do some women now. Sure not many of these women are top-tier themselves, but it doesn't really matter...Willy will take anyone and doesn't give a shit if he's getting used. He's still getting what he wants out of the arrangements. And with a ton of different apps and chat sites facilitating him finding these women, he's not going bone-dry for months like he would have 20 years ago...

Keep in mind, I mentioned sex as the primary goal for these men, not long term relationships. Which works out pretty well since less men and women are looking for a traditional long term relationship now.

Of course the sad sack underdog guys looking to settle down are still shit out of luck. I'm just saying the thirsty counterpart who's just looking to get laid is actually doing surprisingly better now lmao. Maybe not particularly on Tinder, but these fuckers flock to any app/site that tosses them a yes. Why wouldn't they....?

If you don't have the guts to do that, you're willingly enabling your own torment. And there's no logical reason for us to sympathize with that.

Should a trans person reveal they are trans before a date?

Short term (hook ups): I don't care. If both parties believe they got what they wanted, I think they'll survive...

Long term relationship: why would you want to commit to someone who would be bothered over your biology in the first place? Sounds self-defeating...

Honestly my biggest issue with the term is that transphobia and being radically feminist seem pretty mutually exclusive

"Seem" mutually exclusive on paper, sure. But they're not. That's basically the issue.

There's actually quite a few outspoken radfem icons and longstanding figureheads that would disagree with what you believe their ideology should be when it comes to who it's supposed to support and innately exclude.

You ever heard that phrase "never meet your heroes"...?

If you value actual gender equality, honest open discussion about minimizing privilege disparities, and the inclusion of trans women under feminism despite having Y chromosomes...you might not have a good time sitting down and actually meeting certain radical feminists. And I'm afraid "no true scotsman" will not alleviate the uncomfortable revelations that follow.

They are indeed feminists. Just one type. And it might not be a type you want to associate with.

She did actually become a low-key sex symbol at the peak of the show's popularity. Some of that was also spotlighted by multiple sources of feminist praise in regards to gender representation in sitcoms, living as a female celebrity, and her success as an actress (and sex symbol) relative to her age.

This might be shocking to some who remember the show. Then again, you know who also experienced an odd yet similar phenomena of fan adoration back then which included nods of sexualizing...?

I feel like its inaccurate to claim that somebody supports trans rights if theyre also scared to be around trans people and believe all of them are predators.

Well that's a point to be made, but some people will swear up and down that they're in support of something while having contradicting beliefs at home. It's not uncommon.

I'm not saying women should be afraid of sharing private areas with trans people. I don't believe it's worth being an issue.
I'm saying, whether it seems logical or not, a lot of cisgender women are afraid even if they won't always openly admit it. Many of whom are paranoid mothers.
And they will hold onto those stigmas while voting pro-trans to avoid being called a bigot and in some cases to ironically assuage guilt.

People don't always approach politics as black and white. Many people have a very grey perspective when it comes to policies. Meaning some people will convince themselves they're "pro-trans enough" to permit a couple ironically discriminating exceptions. Hence someone being in support of 95% of pro-trans policies...but very against that 5% they do not approve of.

It was a similar phenomena following the debate over gay marriage rights in the US. Lots and lots of 95% straight "supporters" who were claiming to be in favor of gay rights, until marriage was brought into the picture. Some of them, despite years of "keeping a truce" around gays had to figuratively be dragged kicking and screaming when it came time to give up that 5%. Some people react similarly to trans rights issues when their claim of support is finally called into question. And sorry, there's a lot of people, men and women, who still fit that bill...

I'm just gonna go ahead and ask you how many cis guys do you know who go around in their men's clothes preying on women in restrooms whilst pretending to be trans women? Because that's the scenario you're describing

No. The scenario I described is the one I have heard concerned women explain to me for why they were not okay with sharing a public ladies room with trans women. And some of these women were vocally pro-trans on almost every other political issue...except those locker rooms and restrooms.

I don't personally give a shit either way; the debate is a nonissue for me. As a guy I've had to share the mens restroom with trans men before, some of which were noticeably trans. It was unusual, but I didn't care. And non of them ever made it a problem either. We were there to take a piss and get out. Hell I've had trans women walk into the mens restroom. Again, wasn't an issue for me. I've seen it hundreds of times as a gay man.

However, there's a surprising amount of cisgender women who don't feel as comfortable sharing "female-only" spaces with trans women. Maybe you're the kind of person they would never admit that around. But they had no problem saying it where I and my social circle could overhear. Some of these women have responded to the issue with their own local political groups declaring that trans women should not be allowed in "female-only" spaces.

I'm just saying the resistance to trans women using the ladies restroom and female locker areas has a lot more components to it than just "those evil cliche cis male politicians dishing out oppression again." I'm afraid there's a lot of cis women who are adamantly against letting trans women into "female-only" areas and they certainly due their part backing those politicians. And if you think they're all on the political right, you need to catch up more than you realize...

The thing is we've been sharing bathrooms with trans-women for years and years. Trans people didn't just magically appear in the past few years. They've always been around since we've been alive. This has never been an issue until these bills starting making a non-issue into one.

And none of that would matter to the cisgender women I described, many of which would have been immediately uncomfortable as soon as they figured out they or their daughter/granddaughter/niece had just used a public restroom with "someone who identifies as a trans woman".

Notice I put that in quotes?

It's to give you an idea of what some of these alarmist women think when it comes to trans women sharing the same restrooms as regular women. They have a common perspective of suspicion around any strangers claiming to be trans women in "women-only spaces".

Is that the fault of trans women? No...but that's the boogey monster you're dealing with. Some of these women are concerned matriarchs (mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc) who will vote in support of many trans rights....except when it comes to sharing the ladies room. Hell some of them are flat out TERFs who typically refuse to welcome trans women anywhere.

My main point before was that there's a significant amount of women who also vehemently disagree with trans women using the same restrooms as cis women and girls. Sure, some male politicians share the same perspective. However, there's also quite a bit of male politicians who don't personally share that view but will push anti-trans policies just to cater to a fuckload of angry cis people (both men and women) demanding "someone please think of the children".

Also how many of these assholes who pretend they're doing this to "protect women" are the same types who don't seem to care if a woman gets raped?

Some of the typical critics of trans women sharing restrooms with cisgender women are cisgender women themselves. And their usual sentiment is definitely NOT negligent about women getting raped. It's quite the opposite...they flat out do not trust anyone identifying as a trans woman in female restrooms. And they're especially critical of their daughters sharing school lavatory and changing areas with teen trans girls.

Yes, there's a lot of male politicians in the west. But the majority of voting power comes from women...

The funniest part is there's more and more women who would report that kind of comment themselves now, because they don't automatically think poorly of all men just because they're women. That's why I've always believed the point that "women are not a hive mind". Plenty of them will prove that on their own when given the chance.

Some of the most ardent critics of women ARE other women. Not "internal misogyny"....but keeping each other IN CHECK instead of being hypocrites.
They're the one's who actually want equality. Not the whiners making entitled sexist gripes on social media...

I've had women over 30 flat out tell me the only thing men can offer them anymore is their paycheck.

What some people criticizing men for this phenomena don't quite understand is this scenario is a 2-way street, now more than ever...

What can modern men offer that interests women?
What can modern women offer that interests men?

The typical answer for the latter is "sex", but that's only one thing. And thanks to modern luxuries making sexual encounters as accessible and socially acceptable as ordering a delivery pizza, most men don't actually need to settle down for anything long term anymore to get sex or even companionship. Dating apps actually DISCOURAGE more men away from settling down and raising families. Why buy/sustain/defend the cow when they can regularly get the milk with less strings attached...? And they have the perfect ethical defense for those choices: women can and are encouraged to do it too.

The caveat is that exceptional men that fit the bill of what most women claim they want now have less incentive to chase and more to stay single in an age where it's not torture to be a bachelor. Thanks to modern luxuries that both men and women can exploit, it's quite the opposite...

Do NOT venture into online incel circles. Theyre usually really toxic and bad for your mental health.

Also do not attempt to mingle with communities that freely condone discriminating rhetoric that basically implies you need to "make amends" for being what you were born as. Try to avoid socializing with people who claim you have innate guilt and obligations for being a certain gender(male), a certain race/culture, or sexual orientation (including heterosexuality).

That is also toxic. Because such people peddling that divisive rhetoric are toxic.

This is one of the worst times of the year to seek a new partner since there's a bunch of leeches running around looking for freebies, gifts, dining invitations, and even a place to hold out for the winter. Then they dump your ass as soon as spring hits. This can negatively impact both men and women looking for commitment. And web culture encourages it.

So if you wanna stay single through winter, that's not as unsound anymore as you might expect. Watch out for Valentine's Day too...

Courtesies are not obligations.
They're courtesies, not laws. Meaning it's not a right to receive them, even when it's expected.

At the end of the 20th century it made sense for men to do such gendered courtesies towards a woman since women in general were second class citizens with considerably fewer rights. In the west today, that's no longer really the case in most aspects of modern life. Both men and women can typically open their doors just fine...

If the person you're choosing to marry is demanding you blow a small fortune on a ceremony just so they can feel better about staying with you...you might want to reassess your investment choices, including the relationship.

This would be especially relevant for couples on the progressive left who claim to be self-conscious about differences in societal privilege. Having an exorbitantly expensive wedding ceremony would of course be a huge contradiction to that claim as it is an enormous sign of wealth and privilege. And, yes, asking the parents or other family members to foot the giant bill still qualifies as flexing that privilege...
