MensLib discover that respecting women results in a dry peepee, spill red pills all over the place

This is who calls you an incel on the internet:

Yeah, some boys/men will go too far into other direction and be terrified of interacting with women in any romantic or sexual context. It is understandable, but boy did I miss some opportunities because of that mindset.

I'm a grown-butt man, considered friendly, trustworthy and outgoing but I'm still struggling with this. Do you have any advice on how to reach a good balance?


I'm nearing 30. I've internalized the "leave women alone at all times" and "men are trash" rhetoric so hard that I almost consider myself a burden to them simply by existing. I've gone out of my way to minimize interactions with women because I've catastrophized that my mere presence is bothersome.


Just wanted to say this article pretty neatly describes my teenage years, and that behavior hasnโ€™t really left. Sure makes thing difficultโ€ฆ itโ€™s hard to explain when people say things like โ€œjust ask them outโ€ or โ€œyou need to getโ€ฆ.โ€ You can imagine the words, but in any case, thereโ€™s no real guide to getting out of this space.


Just the idea of asking someone out in real life makes me cringe.

Most grievances these types of dudes have can be solved by getting off the fricking internet and going outside.
