I made a similar post a couple of years ago, but I think it’s time again after seeing a few nice-guy/incel posts here. So, guys who have made it to the other side, what would you say to your previous self? I’ll leave my own personal answer in a comment below.

    Very very true. Incels are quick to assume that women only like manly men or jocks or whatever, and in high school I kind of get that because that’s all you see. But then you leave and you start to see that those stereotypes are just a high school thing. I go to comiccons and the ratio of men to women are honestly pretty even, same with video game conventions. With most things, I’m sure the needle moves back and forth, but whatever your interest is, there are also women who like that. Being genuinely interesting to talk to is much more fun than the sarcastic gatekeeper who doesn’t socialize.
