I seriously think this mindset I see so many men expressing is due to socializing, masculinity itself has been feminized, and that's the trick of it all, all men are going around telling themselves - "this is what a man wants" based on the standard of masculinity they were raised and socialized on, which is a false standard to begin with
The men of the past weren't so obsessed with "love" as a concept, marrying for the sake of your family, for political reasons, or due to an arrangement seems foreign to men in our time, many would tell themselves - "I could not do it, I wouldn't feel loved", that's complete BS, that's them going off of their "programming", men of the past were able to do stuff like that just fine, because they adhered to a different standard of masculinity, and in that standard a man's ego is not staked in his ability to make a woman desire him, because what a woman thought of you did not matter, you had much bigger issues like wars, the social standing of your family, politics, etc than to worry about something as trivial as making a woman want you, what women wanted didn't matter, they were commodities being traded and passed around
Today women play the game on tutorial mode, in the past they weren't even players, they were just another item in the game
What men want is to adhere to the standard of masculinity of their era, it just so happens that in our era that is more determined by ones genetics than ones actions
Many of you don't seem to get that modern masculinity has been feminized, so the mindset that you have now and think is masculine, is a feminized version of masculinity, men of the past weren't really chasing after "love" and "female affection", fathers promised their daughters to men, because we understood that anyone can commit to virtually anyone, "love" doesn't mean anything, your wife will
learn to "love" you, it doesn't matter who you marry, whether its for political reasons, business reasons, etc
A lot of men have a female mindset and they don't even realize it, do you think in the past when warring tribes wanting to find peace for the sake of survival,
IT JUST SO HAPPENED that the chiefs daughter and the son of the other tribes chief "
LOVED" each other
Do you guys believe in such fairy tale coincidences?
Shit like this was normal, and the men had no problem with it, because whether a woman loved you or had affection for you
WAS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT FOR THAT ERA (there was more urgent and important shit to focus on, and again a men weren't
SOCIALIZED to stake their ego in their ability to invoke desire in the opposite sex)
ALL YOU GUYS ON THIS SITE TALKING ABOUT BLACK PILL THIS, BLACK PILL THAT, IRONICALLY FLIP YOUR LOGIC SWITCH OFF WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN AND RELATIONSHIPS, AND INSTANTLY FORGET THAT MODERN MALE NORMS ARE DIFFERENT TO THE PAST
Just to give yourself an excuse for your mindset -
"I CAN'T HELP MYSELF THAT I WANT "LOVE" AND "AFFECTION", ITS BIOLOGY"
WRONG!
Biology is you wanting to have sex and reproduce, everything else is basically 90% socialization
The urge to pair bond (sex and reproduction)
IS BIOLOGY
How one goes about the process of doing that
IS SOCIALIZATION
I find too many incels on this site leave out the aspect of conditioning, they act as if the men of the past were as love obsessed as our current generation, the men of the way back past weren't pussy beggars, men prostrating themselves on one knee to beg women to spend their lives with them is relatively new to the history of manhood, yet so many men act like it was the norm
EVEN IN THE PAST AND ITS NOT SOCIALIZED. Socialization is a huge aspect on influencing and creating ones behavioral patterns and mindset
So whenever I hear guys on this site saying - "I can't help myself, its biology, I want to be loved"
I CALL BS BASED ON A HISTORY OF ARRANGED MARRIAGES, POLITICAL MARRIAGES, WIVES BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD, WOMEN BEING TAKEN AS BRIDES VIA CONQUEST OF LANDS AND PEOPLE, ETC
THOSE MARAUDERS OF THE PAST WHO RAIDED VILLAGES AND TOOK WOMEN FOR THEIR WIVES DIDN'T ASK THESE WOMEN IF IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT (THEY DID NOT CARE, SUCH THINGS WERE IRRELEVANT TO THEM)
SO IF ITS BIOLOGY, YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF, WERE THE MEN OF THE PAST IGNORING THEIR BIOLOGY?
THE MEN OF THE PAST DID NOT HAVE THE MODERN DAY CUCKED MINDSET MEN HAVE, THEY DID NOT GET OUR PATHETIC BRAND OF MASCULINITY VIA SOCIALIZATION
MASCULINITY HAS BEEN FEMINIZED
ANYBODY WHO ARGUES THAT THEIR WANT OF "LOVE" IS BIOLOGICAL AND SOMETHING THEY CAN'T RESIST OR CHANGE, HAS IRONICALLY ARGUED IN THE DEFENSE OF FEMALE HYPERGAMY AND WOMEN'S UNREALISTIC STANDARDS (IF YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELF THEN NEITHER CAN WOMEN)
