That doesn't change the benefit derived from a certain level of self direction and poise interacting with people, though. More often than I like to admit I'm feeling like that awkward 13 year old I suspect I'll always be. I know the rules and I read people well enough, yet I still quiver inside.

More subtle interactions I've learned to mostly fake my way through pretty effectively. Things that have a clear script, like a medical or safety emergency, I'm good. The thing about being a rock I'd just as soon keep as an expectation for men because I'm good in a crisis.

I have occasionally had to intervene on behalf of female friends and tell incel-type guys to leave them alone, so there is some minor anecdotal evidence supporting the thought that they are detrimental to others. I am a guy so not the type of person they might prey upon. Is this a society wide problem? I am not sure. That is a rough description of a disability, so there is that. After all, the shyness and insecurity described does interfere with what most people think of as basic life activities. It would be nice if these guys could be helped, and if we could minimize the violence that occasionally erupts from this group. This has led to hatred and violence occasionally.Īre we overreacting? Maybe.

Some probably manage to find help, but others go full incel, wallowing in their misery and developing strange theories and jargon like "chad", "stacy" and "femoid". Today, they get on the internet and talk to one another. In decades past, a cripplyingly shy guy may have withdrawn into himself, coping by developing a healthy admiration for pornography and stamp collecting. I think that the internet may have exacerbated this problem, as it does with many other things. Nobody gets everything they want in life, and we all have to deal with it.

In any aspect of life, there are going to be people who are smarter, richer, more attractive, more talented, and everyone needs to learn how to play up their strengths and understand their disappointments. The fact that a woman responds more favorably to the guy who looks at her and smiles over the guy who hides in the corner and can't make eye contact doesn't mean that she wants to be treated poorly by a sleazebag, or that she doesn't respect a decent man. For both men and women, confident, engaging people have an advantage over quiet, awkward people, and that's always been the case. I don't know that it's fair to say that women have disdain for shy, anxious guys, but at the same time, in the dating world, first impressions make a difference.

I’m talking harmless guy with anxiety in talking to single women I’m not talking about the women hating incels those guys are a different level.

I’ve always said there is almost a disdain for shy men who aren’t great at socializing. It kinda proves Jill’s point that women expect Men to be the rocks of the relationship. There are billions of Men on the planet is it really a shock that not everyone of them is a suave charming person socially? I don’t understand the overreaction to this and acting like it’s a epidemic or that there have never been shy and/or socially awkward men before in history.
