Jack had heard a lot about the invite-only social media group Blokes Advice when he decided to apply to become a member. The group pitches itself as a place men can go for support when life gets hard and is affiliated with Better Bloke Project, a men’s mental health charity.
But Blokes Advice has also been accused of harbouring a culture of toxic masculinity. It didn’t take long for Jack to experience the group’s dark side firsthand.
When Jack was accepted into the group, he found all members were required to post a photo of a woman they rated a “10” for attractiveness before asking a question on the chat. He noticed the thread sometimes contained comments that were misogynistic and degrading towards women.
Some men want things but are not willing to work for them.
They find it easier to believe that in “the good old days” they would have those things, without being any different.
The fact is a lot of men want a woman but believe they cannot attract one.
Should they work on making themselves more attractive?
HELL NO
Then they would have to admit some of their problems are their own doing.
It’s easier to blame women for not wanting them than themselves for being unwantable.
If you’re having mental health issues because women don’t like you and you think other men are the only ones who can help you, good luck homie.
Ask a woman “what can I do to attract women?”
They’ll tell you bro.

“A bit misogynistic” - hell of an understatement
