It's a more widespread mindset than people think. I am not referring to extreme cases where men commit real crimes. I mean that boys and men feel that they have RIGHT to have sex and a relationship and blame society (mostly feminism) that they don't get it. It's literally all over the internet, proliferating through memes, comics, threads, websites like 4chan...
I didn't know it had a name.

@CrazyMusicLover I've seen some conversations in a women's anti-feminist group. Really interesting.

Men mad because they can't get sex on a whim (many women can't either)
Mad because they do, get a woman pregnant, and want to have legal right to opt out of parenting/child support.

Many topics.

Many blame the Feminism movement

@Phire1 Yes it is very common and I was surprised when few of my friends got caught too.
Even my ex used to re-post me 4chan threads full of these dumb rants about how women only want rich, beefcakes, "funny guys" or some absurd made-up diagrams.

It's sad how my generation of men seems to rather spend hours on the internet, searching for advice and idiotic "instructions" how to get a woman or "what all women want" instead of trying to talk to and understand women around them.

Every time some of my male friends re-posts this BS I feel so disappointed because I had a higher opinion of them.

@CrazyMusicLover Sounds kinda like how women used to (or still do) look into Cosmopolitan magazines and the like for "advice."... "Dear Abby" shit.

I'm not knocking on it - or of males who seek advice elsewhere. That's fine, if it helps.

I suppose I'm more "old fashioned" as in just running into someone and getting to know them via actual in-person face-to-face realm. However, with dating sites, you're able to implement preferences before even meeting.

@Phire1
I am just tired about these generalized assumptions what which gender wants. Everybody wants something else and there is no other way to find out what it is than to talk to them directly or have genuine interest in them and observe them closely.
It's so pathetic when I see how a guy tries to impress a lady, apparently following one of these internet/magazine manuals and then blames everyone except himself if he fails. I believe that the lady is either interested or not, roses or champagne won't make a difference.

@CrazyMusicLover These days, ladies are supposed to be presenting "flowers" (or other offering). I think that's fine. As long as both are presenting a sincere interest in each other (if that's what is going on). I'm not one for fake BS. Tell me what you're looking for and allow me to make the decision if I want to pursue or not...
