While many believe young people are becoming more liberal, data shows that 12th grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative compared to liberal. Around 25% of high school seniors identify as conservative while only 13% identify as liberal. In contrast, the share of 12th grade girls identifying as liberal has risen to 30%. Many factors may contribute to this trend, including the rhetoric of Donald Trump which appealed to disaffected young men, and the focus of progressive movements on issues of gender and racial equality which some young men perceive as a “matriarchy.” However, most high school seniors claim no political identity, and many boys in high school do not actively discuss

    That’s true. It’s hard for this men to compete on the playing field of being a genuine partner.

    Ironically, they prefer to compete on the Manosphere standards of money and fake status. Which is an insane choice

      “Damn I really want to get laid. Too bad all these women are such bitches and won’t let me fuck their non existent brains out”

        The best pickup technique is treat them like a person. It works everytime and when it doesn’t you get to talk to a nice person

          I remember like 10 years back I was 23 and was riding the bus with young guy from one of the clubs I was in in university. He was maybe 19 or so.

          We’re on the bus, and a woman boards who looks very pretty and has a satchel with a bunch of enamel pins of the pokemon gym badges on it.

          I compliment her flair, and we have a pleasant conversation about pokemon until my stop. Pretty normal stuff.

          I disembark with my mentee and he turns to me and goes “WHAT?! IT’S THAT EASY TO TALK TO WOMEN BY JUST ASKING ABOUT THEIR INTERESTS?”

          He was just completely unaware that people respond well when you pay attention to them and treat them like people. He was convinced the only way to talk to girls was by using pickup lines.
