Like someone said, the internet allows people to reveal their true thoughts on certain matters. I bet your friends don't share with you what they really think or how they feel.

People in life (not on the internet) don different masks for different situations. If they are with their folks, they are one way, and with their friends or a loved one, they are another way.
Most people aren't ever truly themselves because of the fear of being judged negatively by their peer group and the probability of being ostracized.

But I do agree with the OP that the net can be quite damaging to one's perception on reality and self. You do need to detoxify yourself from it.

But, to address your main point, I don't think people are losers necessarily and those quotes aren't indicative of a loser's mindset. People are just weird in a more interesting way, at least to me.

anti-social, MGTOW, alt-right-ish nerds.... or super liberal dudes that try to hard to be nice and end up missing out on shyt.

And neither side is really the good influence (especially the former). They are gonna fukk up your perception of things. I'd go as far as to say that you should be careful about getting advice from people on some of those websites, and instead get advice from friends in real life. I feel like the internet has made people not try to improve themselves - it's instead become some sort of substitute/safe-haven, which I feel isn't good in the long-term.

Any of you guys have similar stories about this topic?

Well I guess I must be a loser because I'm anti-social to a degree (until I get to know ppl), Idgaf about politics but I like doing "nerd" shyt. About trying too hard to be nice on the internet I just can't get off in being rude to ppl be it irl/online for just any random ass reason. I treat people like they treat me.

You do have a point about getting misleading advice from ppl off the internet but again logic/common sense should come into play before taking advice from anyone. Hell, you can still get bad advice from family/friends in everyday life so that shyt is 50/50 to me.

People are responsible for not trying to improve themselves. As easy as it is to log on to this site or any other it should be very easy to log off and handle your business.

OP you say you think the internet is making men become losers what about the effect the internet has on women?

I'm not trying to bash women in any way, but to have this discussion you have to speak on both sides of the "coin".

I don't feel like the internet is making men BECOME losers. I feel like the internet is almost a comfort zone for losers. Because of the internet, it makes it harder for guys to actually come out of their comfort zone. Dudes that are still going out and having a social life are:eat::eat:


To me, that's the real reason why less and less people are getting into relationships. The internet has become a comfort zone for a lot of losers out here, and makes it harder for them to come out of their shell, resulting in less dudes being out here for women to choose from. Then the dudes that actually get out there are so successful, there really is no point in them settling down for the most part.

Then you end up running into a lot of women that use social media for attention, and don't ask you to do much. It's so much easier to be casual with a chick these days.

We gotta stop acting like all black men have their social skills and niche with women figured out.
Most do though or at least enough social skills to make friends and be social.

We don’t have an environment nor a culture that allows much of us to be reclusive and antisocial. Especially if you live in the hood

And yet there's still enough that don't, and they tend to be the ones who turn to alternative cultures and become "c00ns". The constituency of black men who aren't walking around with a silver tongue getting at 1000 women or comfortable in party/club situations is bigger than we think.

Compared to the white population it isn’t a lot and they aren’t as bad as them either.

Most black men grow up getting teased for not getting p*ssy and it creates a sink or swim moment where we get pushed in the water and get social skills. That is a part of our environment and culture. That is a rarity in the white community where their people who lack social skills don’t get pressured as much to get social skills.

You must of grew up in the suburbs lol

I feel like it's growing. I'm seeing an increasingly large number of black men falling into the MGTOW reddit trap.

I mean, look at guys like Kent, Jamil, Oreo man, etc. Go back 5 or 10 years ago, I feel like they weren't there. If I'm wrong, let me know.

Nah it’s not growing

It’s just that those type of men discovered internet that gave them exposure which didn’t exist years ago. Nothing has changed.
