Do men just recognize good men? What kind of sorcery is this?

Part of if is that even terrible guys are โ€” for a little while anyway โ€” going to be on their best behavior around women in which they are interested.

Another part is that many women are extremely delusional about how they can โ€œfixโ€ the bad boys that many of them seem to love nearly unreservedly (I guess because they are exciting?). This never works. I have not seen this โ€œfixโ€ happen even once. So they end up with some unemployed meth-addled loser who doesnโ€™t have any real future and doesnโ€™t even like them.

Meanwhile, I and most other men can sense exactly who these guys are in a thirty second conversation and often much less.

And no, itโ€™s not that I (or other men, except incels) think these women should be with them instead or that I or weโ€™d be better for them. Frankly, I donโ€™t want to be with someone whose ideal partner is a meth-addicted clown.

A lot of women go on and on about how much they care about their safety but then choose an objectively dangerous mega-loser who is going to perhaps kill them. Many men (including me) look at this and it just seems freakinโ€™ crazy to us. I still do not understand how that works and I think I never will.
