The manosphere’s most effective recruiting tool is the discovery that adults did not tell boys the whole truth about women.
One reason young guys are drawn to the manosphere is that some of the information they find there is not really offered anywhere else. And some of it is directionally accurate.
One thing these guys will say is that women are trained from a young age to be aware of what men can be like. "Men only want one thing, you have to be careful around guys, etc." And so, once girls hit puberty, they have this ambient awareness that men have certain motives and that they should keep their guard up.
Boys, by contrast, are not always told the complete truth about what women can be like. They grow up thinking women are like Disney princesses who want nothing but kindness and generosity and empathy.
Then a boy enters high school and sees the kinds of guys many girls are actually drawn to. Often it is not the super nice guy. Sometimes it's the bully, or the jock, or the guy who seems dominant and socially confident.
If you are not prepared for that, and you are a naive teenage boy, the realization can send you in a very dark direction. You start thinking, “I have been lied to about women my whole life. What else have I been lied to about?” And from there, it is easy to conclude that there is an entire matrix of hidden truths you now need to see through and only the online influencers will show you the way.
For what it’s worth, Witmer et al. (2025) tested this using a dating app study and found that women’s swiping behavior was influenced by facial attractiveness about 12 times more than height.
This literally proves him right though. His thing was never about thinking he was the best looking guy, it was thinking he HAD to be good looking to be respected.
And as soon as someone is better looking than him, you call him a loser for not being the best looking guy lol
Women act sexually with men they are attracted to and don’t act sexually with men they aren’t attracted to, men are shocked and appalled at this “revelation” because they don’t understand that women are people just like they are
