Also, literally who cares. This isn't politics. Zoomers and millenials are very left-wing and that hasn't changer significantly in recent years. This isn't happening at scales that are shifting the political landscape. Idk why there is an obsession with this shit.
I hate the "be yourself" line. It's total bullshit. What if yourself is precisely the reason you're not sexually attractive? You need to change, not be yourself.
This is where the right and Jordan Peterson absolutely crush it. They have concrete advice which will result in measurable improvements. What does the left offer? Keep doing the one thing you KNOW doesn't work?
It's worth noting that rejecting "be yourself" is not the same as telling someone to become a fake PUA asshole. If you want to be a doctor but are bad at chemistry and time management, you can change yourself into someone who is just as authentic and decent as you were before, but better at those particular skills.
Well if you're not yourself then you are a fake. But if yourself is what's keeping people away, what choice do you have? Be a fake who gets what he wants or be the real you and forever alone?
It's not be yourself vs. be fake. You can change yourself.
My issue with the "be yourself" line is that it is too general to be of any use. I'm not denying that being true to your values and not trying to be some fake cardboard cutout of a Real Man™ is solid advice but in order for it to be useful or has to help you do it. An insecure 16 year old who thinks girls are very interesting but also kind of scary can't use "be yourself" for anything.
If there's something the right wing grifters do right it is that they make these young men feel good about themselves. They do it in stupid and disgusting ways but you really can help people by making them feel confident. Leftist dating advice should tell people that they actually have what it takes and that they are deserving of love, no matter how short or tall, fat or skinny or introvert or extrovert they are and that rejection doesn't change that. Leftist dating advice should also hold up mutual respect as not only moral but also cool and sexy.
Men don't "deserve" anything from women. This is incel talk right here.
you can't read a common phrase like "feeling deserving of love" and jump to that reaction and expect to be taken seriously
