How Do You Prevent Your Son From Becoming An Incel?
The internet is full of rabbit holes, and some of them are dark, lonely places where young men go to vent their frustrations, find validation for their pain, and adopt dangerously warped views about women, relationships, and the world.

“I might have fallen for an escort”
I met up with an escort last night, (haven’t seen her for over year, but before that we saw each other frequently). We get on really well which makes this confusing… we are friendly and have each other’s numbers, and social media’s so unlike how l would assume an escort would act.
Whilst we were in bed, kissing and getting handsy we had the condoms on the night stand ready to go and before I knew it she has guided me into her raw – which I didn’t mind (I’m clean) and I’m assuming she is to (I’ve grown to trust her). She asks during it if I’m okay to pull out, which I say yes to and I do every time we had sex last night. [Read more…] about “I might have fallen for an escort”

Why Saving Women Is a Terrible Dating Strategy
There’s a particular brand of dude out there — maybe you’ve met him, maybe you are him — who believes it’s his sworn duty to “save” women.
He finds someone who’s drowning in chaos: financial disaster, toxic exes, family drama, zero accountability, emotional landmines everywhere. She’s a human version of a burning building. And he runs toward her with a bucket of tap water, convinced this is how he becomes the hero of his own life story.
Spoiler: the only thing he ends up saving is disappointment for future therapy sessions.

How Do You Grow as a Person?
Personal growth isn’t about reading another self-help book or buying a journal with a mountain on the cover. It’s not about downloading meditation apps, drinking kale, or reciting affirmations about your “highest self.”
It’s about pain. Frustration. Getting your ego punched in the face by reality—and choosing to learn instead of hide.
“I broke my wife and I don’t think it is fixable”
I broke my wife and I don’t think it is fixable.
This happened 6 months ago. And I only chose to talk now because I don’t see improvement in sight and I am hopeless.
We were at a party. My friend is single and we started talking about love and relationships. My wife and I have been happily married for 7 years. We have 3 beautiful children. She is the love of my life. When I was talking to my friend I felt like we were on different levels of thinking. His complaints are mostly superficial about how the people he dated looked. I was a bit drunk at that point and said something like “you don’t fall in love with looks, look at me and my wife I love her more than anything compared to my ex who was just looks.” Everyone went silent and my damage control was worse so I ended up shutting the hell up.
