    Get the damn basics right. Look after your personal hygiene, dress well, smell good, smile, show respect and practice good manners. Congrats, you are now significantly more desirable.

    Go outside and stop blaming women for everything.

      It’s an incel meme, thus the clown makeup he applies to himself. I think people are reading this as a literal flow chart, instead of a parody

      And you are also an ignorant idiot and an asshole. The lack of empathy and understanding here is absolutely baffling.

            Oh no, hate against stupid misogynistic and anti-feminist talking points. How awful.

              My dude, you are the one here basically claiming that the only reason men are lonely is them being bad hygiene women haters. It’s literally misogynistic.

              Blaming a societal breakdown of connection and interaction on men is just as misogynistic as blaming it on women. Stop being a part of the problem.

                I’m basically claiming nothing of the sort pal. You know what else is an epidemic? Violence against women and girls, fuelled by far-right social media influencers preying on young men. Inceldom is a disease and treating these people like they’re just poor victims of societal ills is bullshit. They know what they’re doing, they encourage and glorify mistreatment of women.

                I’m simply saying that finding companionship in life doesn’t need to be a whole field of research and analysis for young men. Get the basics right, and you can find a partner.

                To hell with the kid gloves treatment of bad actors. You want to help young men, tell them the truth about the people they look up to and give them proper guidance.

                  If this meme was focused on incel-dom then i would agree with you, but it literally states “there is a loneliness epidemic”, and trying to imply that people who are lonely are incels is outright wrong. Many men (and also women) are lonely, but not because they don’t “have the basics right”, nor do they blame women in any way. Societal loneliness is a real and growing problem that affects more than incels.

                    The clown man is an incel/misogynist, hence the top panel “women are dishwashers”. Objectification of women > increased social isolation > blaming it on a male loneliness epidemic caused by feminists rather than assessing his own beliefs and behaviours.

                    I think people have completely misunderstood this meme and are reading it as “haha male loneliness” rather than a meme taking a shot at incel self-inflicted misery.

      Whew Lad, you must be projecting.

      I’m a man, I’m lonely. Why? Because I spent the last 30 years building a career and my social circle is tiny. My personal hobbies and interest took a back seat to building my company, helping my wife through a 2nd and then 3rd Masters Degree, and raising my Son.

      Personal Hygiene? Showered at least every day. Dress Well? I’m in collars, slacks, and dress shoes at least 5 days a week. Smell Good? Yeah, got it covered. Smile? Yeah, got it covered. Show Respect? Yeah, got it covered. Practice Good Manners? Pretty rich coming from you.

      Go outside and stop blaming women for everything.

      You have a child’s understanding of the world around and lack empathy. Go read a book.

        You’re presumably middle aged, and you’re married with a family. You’re not the person the meme is targeting. Way to ignore the first 3 panels.

        Should we also show “empathy” to Klansmen who joined up because they claim to feel disenfranchised by society? Give them a pat on the back? No, we tell them why their belief system is backwards and help them turn away from it.

        Your idea of empathy is why the Andrew Tates of this world can thrive. Worthless sentimentality and obsession with civility rather than seriously challenging toxic ideology. It’s the liberal way.
