TIL my wife is a man
Yeah I'm short as fuck and socially inept. They're certainly not going to date me because I'm attractive.
Like how short we are talking?
5'3
You just have to get older. I have it on good authority that the law of supply and demand turn things around - men can be old enough to have made money while still being able to date women young enough to not have made money (and no, we’re not Epstein related)
Wrong. Men make money to become women.
Men make money to survive this cyberpunk dystopian capitalist hellscape.
Women make money to survive this cyberpunk dystopian capitalist hellscape.
I'd hate to break this to you, but the cyberpunk dystopian capitalist hellscape is in its infancy. It's barely learning to crawl yet.
Enjoy the next thousand years or so... if you can...
For those wondering what typically defines the cyberpunk literary genre, its key elements include:
High-tech, low-life scenarios: Advanced technology, such as cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, is prevalent, but it exists alongside widespread societal breakdown and poverty.
Dystopian future:
The settings are typically bleak and oppressive, often dominated by powerful corporations or decentralized, corrupt power structures.
Impact of technology on humanity:
Cyberpunk explores how technology shapes society, culture, and individual identity .
Antiheroes and rebellion:
Characters are often morally ambiguous rebels fighting against oppressive systems.
Enjoy the next thousand years? Are you immortal? Do you think everyone else is immortal too?
I can't speak for everybody, but I remember when the first continents were formed from geothermal vaults at the bottom of the ocean.
Or maybe that was just a mushroom trip. Either way, the dystopia has only just begun. Stop being pedantic.
I hate to break it to you but cyberpunk is a critique of today's world. Tomorrow can always get much worse.
Today's world is a toe dipped in the lake of cyberpunk critique.
Transhumanism is, for the most part, still a crackpot fringe theory. Most of us aren't brainchipped, and there are still recognizable human interactions on the web.

Traditionally, men have been taught that to get married or have a partner, they need to be the breadwinner. This is partly due to women not having the right to own property, have a bank account, or credit cards until the 1960s/1970s. This means that there is a subset of men raised to believe having a job makes them an attractive partner, and that's the only thing they need to be an attractive partner.
Women on the other hand, have been entering the workforce, and the pay gap has narrowed. Now women make on average $0.85 to every dollar a man makes. Women can be and are financially independent. So now, as a man or potential partner, you have to bring more to the table than having a job.
I think this has led to the incel crisis. You have a subset of men that are emotionally stunted because they were not taught better; while women have a the peace and security that independence brings and they aren't going to disrupt that for just anyone.
I make money to afford ddr5.
This reads like the "manspreading" video that Russia put out to get us to hate each other.
Us men are working to not end up on the streets and dying of exposure or at the baton of a bootlicker.
I'm sure it's true for some women. But I wouldn't be surprised if most working women were either married or in a committed relationship. Plus, a lot of households have two incomes out of necessity. Both partners need to work full time just to make ends meet.
no i wish i was hot and toxic enough to have a sugar mommy
Plenty of men work overtime so they don’t have to go back to their wife or gf
One of my friends is going through a divorce and one of the reasons his wife gave us is that he would sit in his car in the driveway and look at his phone for a bit when he got home. There are other reasons but that one stuck out to me.
That was all the salesmen at one place I worked. Mormons with tons of kids. They'd go anywhere in the world to get away from them.
In the early nineties I knew a Mormon man with a happy housewife & 10 kids and he would run a marathon by himself every day just to be out of the house.
To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.

I make money to be with cats.
I make money to not be homeless
Literally me
My sister has a pretty high up job in a bank
She has her own kid (bought through sperm donation etc)
Her own apartment and a summer home
Travels the world, with her kid
In all my life she has mentioned having a boyfriend twice, for very short periods
She fits this meme
I make money to eat and buy books.
I've heard people say they consume literature...
It's nice that you reimburse the shops after your cravings subside.

Women hate men. They don't date men, go out with them, hang out, marry them, fuck them or become their girlfriends. This is known since time immemorial.
