You can’t get on social media espousing
Chopped men epidemic
I choose the bear
All men suck and I hate them
I’m leaving my good husband/boyfriend because he’s not my person
And all kinds of other ludicrous shyt
Then ask where the men at
I’m not even mad at the women anymore
It’s you goofy nikkas that co-sign they shyt
Pander and kiss they ass like you do with these bum ass hoes that post on this forum
W-Well we gotta hold men accountable
Yeah nikka hold men accountable and watch the same brain dead bytches run back to the demons of their pasts
Or to the nikkas we clearly warn them about from jump only to be told
You don’t control me
Until nikkas get some nuts about themselves
Practice dikk discipline
And stop lying to these women
The cycle will keep going
nikkas so scared to call these bytches losers but will call a breh a loser at the drop of a dime
98% of these hoes are gabage
No if ands or buts about it
If you want men to come back
Society going to have to stand on business and start telling these hoes the truth
You fat
You masculine
You boring
You got kids no nikka wants to take care of
You are an adult, your survival doesn’t depend on someone else to change your tire or help you build furniture
Read the first page and you will see the son husbands and weak nikka responses
Men are scared of women and scared to tell the truth
Until then it will be the same dumb ass argument day in and day out

You've been posting nothing buy piff in 2025. I see ya daddy, pause

ChatGPT summary -

Here are the key points from Rachel Drucker’s Modern Love essay “Men, Where Have You Gone? Please Come Back” (published June 20, 2025) based on the Reddit thread summary :

1. A cultural shift in male presence

• Many men have withdrawn from vulnerability and intimacy, not through aggression but through indifference. They are no longer fully “present” on dates or in connections.

2. From real connection to “directionless orbiting”

• The author laments the rise of “situationships”: casual emoji check-ins and flirtation without real commitment or movement forward—an abdication of emotional ownership.

3. Emotional retreat and convenience culture

• Men increasingly prefer curated, frictionless digital experiences—scrolling, filters, passive engagement—over the messy process of genuine human connection.

4. The erosion of intimacy rituals

• Shared rituals—like lingering over breakfast after a one-night stand—have largely disappeared, replaced by walled-off experiences and missed moments of closeness.

5. A call for rediscovering presence

• The author invites men to return with authenticity and willingness, not perfection—highlighting the need for breath, eye contact, emotional presence, and simply being with each other.

Standout Quotes from the Essay

“The way many men had quietly withdrawn from intimacy and vulnerability. Not with violence or resistance, but with indifference.”

“What I won’t entertain is directionless orbiting … We call it a situationship. But mostly, it’s avoidance.”

In essence, Drucker explores how male emotional absence, driven by digital convenience and cultural burnout, is reshaping romantic rituals. She believes women continue to show up—waiting for men to show up with intention. And her plea is simple: “Come back—not with fireworks, but with your whole, beautiful, imperfect heart.”

I noticed a glaring lack of accountability from the female gender on why this happened

Children of men

It’s gonna get worse. This isnt good at all. But at the same time, it is what it is.

WOMEN choose the men & most men FINALLY woke up from the lie that if they work hard enough they can get a woman. Truth is, most men will never make the cut & that gap is getting wider & wider everyday. So get in where you fit in & call it a day.
