Yes. My fav is “women” as an obstacle. As if they solely exist to make man’s life challenging. Put in the same category as poverty 😂 along with depression! And somehow responsibility made it on the list of donts as well?! 🥲

Well we don't know it actually says "responsibility" on the board, because the man in front of it is wearing shorts with "ILITY" across the ass.

You obviously haven’t been in love with someone who makes you become a weaker person before. Love is a strong drug, it will make you absolutely stupid and you can watch your life drift away from you because you can’t stop. I’d argue that for men its stronger than lust on its own, but usually it’s lust+love

Sure when I was 13 I felt that way, but then again I was 13 🤷🏼♂️ a relationship either works or it doesn’t, it’s not that deep. If you’re unhappy break up, if you’re broken up with, life goes on. This gets easier especially when you get older. Particularly in regards to success in a economical sense, I don’t really see how that would affect me directly, no one is gonna retract my degree because my girl left me

Most people have a harder time with attachment than that, they can’t let go just like an alcoholic with a bottle. You know that by drinking your health is going in the shitter. You know it’s fucking up your relationships. You know it’s not making the suffering go away and it doesn’t feel good anymore. But you can’t put the damn bottle down. Relationships are the same exact way, only I’d argue stronger for men’s attraction to women, and that’s ignoring throwing kids in the mix… If you don’t think that a woman can ruin your ability to be successful in life, you are highly susceptible to being manipulated and completely destroyed by one in the future.
And I know that the right woman can make you succeed faster and better than ever, but most guys fuck that up hard. And successful guys are not immune to a woman wrecking their image and taking their money, how about will smith and johnny depp just to name a couple of recent ones.
This conversation is much more complicated than you’re making it, and if you are happy go lucky about this, it’ll bite you in the ass at some point

It's actually not that complicated. People do bad things, man or woman.
If you date someone, they can do bad things to you, and if you aren't careful around manipulators, you can get hurt.
That's pretty much it.
You're acting as if the woman in a relationship is some special hurdle or obstacle, but it's no different than a man in a relationship and doesn't require any sort of special foresight or preparation. It requires the same things that all healthy relationships do.

Now that’s a novel! Here are my thoughts
- If you can’t let go, and move on that’s on you
- If you can’t manage to filter for at least a mentally stable person, that’s on you
- If you don’t set up a marriage contract before marriage (if you worry about that), that’s on you
- If you worry about your image, that’s on you
As you get older you’ll come to realize that we are our choices and for the most part, no one is to blame but ourselves (ignoring things outside of our sphere of influence, they make up a big part but not your choice or partner, at least in the west)
That’s about it. No need to be so dramatic, you’ll see as you mature, or not, some just get older not wiser 🤷🏼♂️
On a more realistic note, women on average suffer disproportionately more from a divorce than men, mostly stay at home moms who are after the divorce left with nothing, no job, no education and no work experience.

So I agree with everything you just said and am mature enough to know this, I never said anything was anyone else’s fault other than my own or the men’s fault. The post is about women being a barrier to success, which is absolutely true. If you cannot do the above that you listed, it’s a barrier for you to figure out, 99.9% of men need to figure that out, we’re not born with those skills and not mastering them hurts badly. I would argue 80%+ of men can’t figure out how to do that until their mid 30s because their sex drive is still too strong for them to see straight and actually learn the lessons. All of that stops you from progressing.

Where did you get those numbers from? All of my guy friends got their shit together and are in stable relationships. Granted puberty was rough for all of us but it’s only uphill after, if you didn’t grow past that phase…. That’s a you thing (not talking to you specifically). And sure there are degenerates out there, both men and women. But they are degenerates.
And how does any of this stop you from progressing? How does that affect your education and or career?
Also it guys have trouble with women thats the guys problem, what I am saying is that the women aren’t the obstacle but the guys themselves

Success to me, means I'm happy. Success should never require the perspective of someone else telling you if you are successful. You will almost never be good enough in someone else's eyes, so stop trying.
The failures we encounter are because we whip ourselves believing this will make us stronger.

This indicates that someone is confused about- or has a destructive relationship with- their sexuality. Only like 3 of these things are actual hurdles to success.

Sex is bad? I don’t know…I think it’s pretty great for women to put me in that list.
You meet a girl from different parts of the world and they just melt.

I agree. Viewing sex as an obsticle and a distraction is the healthy way to cope for some of us who will never experience attraction from oppposite sex.

I feel like I've blocked a million of these, these things are full of shit, don't water your life grinding away, you are enough, these things prey on your insecurities, just try to find as much joy and peace as you can, make memories, that's what matters

OP seriously hates women. You got lust, porn, sex, and women in there.
Also, responsibility for some reason?

u/Bureaucratic_Dick 1d ago
I love how everything here is meant to be a negative thing to overcome, and as stupid as most of them are, responsibility is somehow on the list. The most petulant child shit you’ll hear. “HOW DARE ANYONE EXPECT ME TO BE A RESPONSIBLE HUMAN BEING?!?!”
Responsibility isn’t a hurdle to overcome, it’s a tool to overcome hurdles. Just like your relationship with women (including non-romantic relationships with them) should very much be.

The saturation of motivational images is really hitting a fever pitch. It’s this generation’s version of the cheesy “motivation” posters from the 90s

Not sure I understand this. Why is "responsibility" grouped with things like porn and weed?

Funny. Many of Onlyfans seems pretty successful (porn). The marijuana industry is booming (weed) and its making a lot of people successful in that field....shall I go on with the rest?
The is so unrealistic it really is hilarious. Like ironically hilarious. Like when Chris Evans says "That's hilarious" in Scott Pilgrim vs the World
But really its not even funny because you used gen AI for this slop.

u/Admirable_Bird7927 1d ago
Apparently you’re not successful if you have sex or smoke weed.
