From my brief exposure to some of the PUA/MRA/MGTOW forums (just for reasons of morbid curiosity, I promise), a common idea is that ‘all women go for the alpha-male’ — but how is this actually possible? The idea that 100% of women are chasing 1% of men is ridiculous and physically impossible. If these lonely men would just apply a little critical thinking and imagination, they would realise the ‘Game’ is bullshit.

I have limited sympathy for them, but I appreciate your efforts to empathise. I hope you don’t get any negative comments from those poor wretches here.
