A classic movie, a classic movie scene.

This scene describes what life is like for normal guys. He says he's ugly, but he's nothing of the kind. He's slightly better looking than average. He's a nice guy. And he has found out that "whatever women want, I aint' got it"

I think it's worth watching this and remembering that the gold old days weren't some paradise. It's always been tough for the average man. The average man is simply not wanted by the average woman.

I meant 'good old days' not 'gold old days'

Grown men complaining about not being able to fit-in in a gynocentric society.

@Lionsmane8 sounds a lot like victim shaming. And you're wrong anyway - he is fitting in.

He has decided that he isn't going to bother going to the ballroom. The ballroom is a metaphor for dating and meeting women in general. He has decided that he is happy as a Batchelor. He's going to do his work, look after his mother and be happy without a romantic partner.

@Nightingayle He lives with his mother.

And you seem to be shaming him for this?

Sounds like you are rather blue pilled.

@Typo-MAGAshiv plus one for that obs.

People make this mistake all the time - that because its 'common' or 'normal', it's somehow a good idea.

Its' common to be obese (most people are overweight)

It's common to be poor. (most people have zero savings or negative net wealth)

And its really common to be retarded (just look around you)

Doesn't make any of those things a good idea.

Common or normal does not equal desirable.

@Kloi best I can do is a subway steak sandwich.

"I need a little more stability in my life as I'm too lazy/free spirited to run my own business."

don't let yourself off so easy. When you say that you sound like a woman.

Be a man.

When young men used to get arrested in Afghanistan by coalition forces and charged with ISIS membership, the funny thing was that they had no idea what ISIS was. They didn't understand the charges. That's because ISIS is a western invention.

Several mistakes in this part.

1) ISIS was in Iraq and Syria, not Afghanistan

2) Afghanistan had the Taliban and Al Qaeda

3) ISIS is most emphatically not a western invention. They call themselves "The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria" in Arabic, but it's such a mouthful (unlike Al Qaeda) that instead of saying it, we translate it and use the initials.
