My advice to a friend was “If he’s so mature, why aren’t all the mature women lining up to date him?”

At 19, I don’t think the advice stuck

    Yeah, this argument fails to address how men get to experience relationships. One man could be your perfect partner but he simply doesn't put himself in positions to meet/date new people.

    I know its easy to assume men get propositioned the same way women do but that's simply not true.

    I’m a man.

    I have had limited relationships in my life.

    I still don’t think that older men acting predatory to young women who don’t have the same life experience as them is cool or valid.

    This has little to do with the scarce dating scene for incels, and more to do with men who focus on young women because women their age know they are skeezy.

    those older men and those younger women both know what they are doing. they really do, but they will pretend they don't because plausible deniability.

    and they don't care what anyone else thinks about it. they are just seeking fantasy fulfillment, like the rest of us. their fantasies are just different.
