    Nerdy looking :lmayo: here. I mean kinda true but also tbh it can also just be most guys nowadays due to how things are all fucked up. You also get sex pests among people we would stereotype as "jocks", overall the issue is that men now suffer from the body image fuckery of advertisements meant to sell ideal images of the self that women were suffering from the dawn of advertisement (diet pills and all that shit). Back in the day adverts for men were "buy x shirt and look dashing" now you have fucking muscle clubs, supplement cults, incel 4chan chin measuring (they bash their chin bone with hammers to make them "pronounced"). This all of course leads to hate of the self that then comes out as hate and abuse of others (i.e. maladaptive psychology 101). Honestly I suggest sussing out most guys on whether or not they hit specific leftist supporting check boxes given how I've been sidelined by friends suddenly going all misanthropic and misogynist out of fucking nowhere.

      We all know there's assholes in the movement. I propose a more rigorous test:

      He should have neutral-positive feelings about Taylor Swift and neutral feelings about Mitsky. Strong opinions either way are a red flag.
