  Increasingly sexualized society + harder dating scene = heavily increased feelings of unwantedness and loneliness

  &quot;reject modernity, embrace masculinity, but that is only as long as you can maintain your humanity&quot; is such a hard quote i cant even lie

  I work with children and I realized saying a character is literally me is &nbsp; the equivalent of a 4 year old saying “I’m Spider-Man” Same core part of our psych

  I think creativity and self expression is really underrated in men. Its all about &quot;work hard, get a trade, be a soldier&quot; but the aesthetic pursuits of bodybuilding, male form, musician, artist, etc are needed. Most of the greatest men in history were also artist.

  Travis doesn&apos;t dress like a vet, he was a vet. He&apos;s a soldier looking for another war, especially coming back from Vietnam. He wants to do good and get over his insomnia and maybe what he did to make his life mean something

  When i was in my early 20s, I thought Tyler Durden was the smartest man alive. I quoted Fight Club constantly and tried to mold my personal philosophy after it. What followed was a period of deep depression and anxiety. Now that I’m on the other side of that I realize the actual point of the movie and the difference between self destruction and self actualization. Creation is the better option

  Men who had no positive male role model growing up would find one online

  I think a big part of the alienation, is that men feel like they have to be perfect in all these different ways. Which is basically what you just reinforced at the end, undercutting the humanity of people struggling and saying, “feel bad? Just do better and be perfect”

  When I was in my late teens and early 20s, Taxi Driver, Fight Club, and American Psycho were my three favorite movies. I somehow never realized how closely they were related until now. Thanks for that<br><br>Apparently, I need to watch Driver and Nightcrawler.

  Mental health is the biggest thing. It really feels like no one cares if you fail when you&apos;re a man. Tangentially I was in a class and following a test a few of my friends did not do well. The professor only approached the female students to make sure they were ok and to extend the option to review the concepts. The same offer wasn&apos;t extended to my male friend who did not do well. It&apos;s one instance but this video made it stand out to me.
