  Correction at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCvTE83bco8&amp;t=1006">16:46</a>. I said I couldn&apos;t find the study behind &quot;women hated men 46%, men liked women 73%.&quot; A few of you sent me the source, so thank you. <br><br>It&apos;s a Merlin Strategy poll for the New Statesman, April 2026, 2,000 British 18 to 30 year olds.<br><br>The real numbers: 72% of young men view women positively, and 50% of young women view men positively. 21% of young women view men negatively, compared to 7% of young men toward women. Under 25, only 35% of women view men positively.<br><br>The gap itself is real, and I should have found it.<br><br>Source: <a href="http://newstatesman.com/politics/%E2%80%A6/revealed-the-new-radicalism-among-young-women">newstatesman.com/politics/…/revealed-the-new-radicalism-among-young-women</a> (<a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/polling/2026/04/revealed-the-new-radicalism-among-young-women)">https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/polling/2026/04/revealed-the-new-radicalism-among-young-women)</a>

  <i>&quot;As a man I feel like a fridge or an appliance. No one ever cares until I stop working, then they only care to get me working again.&quot;</i><br>I love that analogy!

  We don’t ask for help because we know it’s not coming. It’s as simple as that.

  A man comes to accept being alone once he finds that he&apos;s <b>always been</b> alone anyway.

  My favourite quote I believe in my heart comes from Robin Williams:<br>“I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It&apos;s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.”

  I think once a man decides he&apos;s done, he&apos;s DONE. He&apos;s already tried to make it work multiple times, got shit on with every attempt, and left it all on the field. There&apos;s nothing left to give, he just wants peace.

  The question is not IF a man who stopped trying can come back, but rather, to what is a man who stopped trying suppose to come back to?
