because the thing is that when you are a straight male, you generally don't have the privilege of forgetting about the other sex entirely and just "doing you" or whatever. You can't just be like, oh well, I should worry about myself. When you are a man it's up to you to initiate relationships almost 95% of the time. So as a straight man if you're alone it's virtually always your fault because you miss every shot you don't take.
So the big problem is when a man is always looking, there is always someone there to criticize him for not being happy with just being alone. Someone always says, "just stop looking and someone will come along! Just do you! Can't you be happy alone?" People don't realize that we constantly need to be on the look out for opportunities because you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. It's up to us to make the shots, and no girl is going to come around and find us when we aren't even looking. Very very rarely does this happen, and never to me or any straight man I'm friends with that I know of.
Another problem is when a man asks out 20 girls and gets rejected every time then someone will always be there to warn him about hating society because he didn't get his way. The man doesn't even have to suggest that he is displeased from being rejected, but we will get shit for being rejected anyways because we are literally expected to be jealous. Women seem to (not saying they do just saying seem to) immediately categorize single men as either players or jealous men who hate society, so I have no idea why they even date us at all sometimes. They just like to feel in control through this way of thinking I guess. I wish this would stop already. Not that you (caeryx) were doing that, but it could so easily snowball into that. It does way too often. When I point out what's wrong with society, it doesn't mean I hate it or am jealous of it basically, it just means that factually there is an issue or an error whether I benefit from it or not.
