Its not just incels. A lot of the manosphere dudes want to upgrade from 2-4s to 7-8s...

I'm not suggesting it's just incels. I'm saying if a person thinks in a similar way to what's typical of the manosphere, that's going to make a lot of women not consider them as potential partners.

Probably, but these guys are fighting over a small shrinking pool anyway of compatible women looking for long term relationships. I think judging from what the gurus are saying they should play the field first so I'm guessing they are going to hit the hookup sites where unless they go over some major image overhaul and their newly found acting/marketing skills can win over a woman they will be back at square one.

That reminds me of the time I went on a blind date and the guy showed up late in dirty, crumpled clothing, admitted that he was both jobless and homeless, and then made sure I knew (loudly enough for other tables in the coffee shop to turn and stare) that he wasn't attracted to me and didn't want to bother seeing me again. Not saying I'm a 7-8 but I'm certainly not a 2-4 either. Someone like that SHOULDN'T be getting second dates from any woman of any arbitrary ranking.

Yeah, that's completely inappropriate. Generally speaking, if one is that open about not caring about or enjoying the interaction, that's a sign they should also just end it rather the dragging it out longer.

Even if the other party is a 0, it's rude to rub it in their face that one is unhappy about the entire situation,
