I think what got her flack from the manosphere is they don't trust the reasons behind it, most of em were like oh they care about our problems when they can get something from us etc
I worked with a dude who once said, "Man, I wish someone would let a mountain lion loose in the office, just so I could feel alive." Dude was lonely and lacking purpose. And I could relate, the work we were doing was not fulfilling.
Damn! thats my attitude currently. Lately, I've been feeling flat. I feel trapped in routine. My office is very quiet, and my current role doesn't have a lot of social interaction. I'm just an ordinary salary man, who has a day job, does groceries and cooks. I'm 41, and I try my best to go to meetups and social events, but it seems harder connecting with people than it did a few years ago. I just feel like I'm doing an "ok" job, when I need to be doing better. It's much more competitive now. I need to be more extroverted, more confident and better looking to make friends and to date. I do have a purpose. I want to aim for a better a job and move into an area where I feel more accepted. The hobbies and freelance work do help in this mission. I do hope that other men can find their purpose as well. I'm also glad people are understanding of our situation, rather than telling us to "man up".
You triggered a memory. My brother was overweight for his first 20 years of life, and he got sick of it, so he started going to the gym. He worked out a lot, tried different diets and supplements, and started smoking the wacky tobaccy at some point. He told me this story about how one night, he smoked a little, and went into the gym to do some running. On one of the TVs in the gym there was a news story about a cougar that had wandered into a residential neighborhood, and he just saw this image of a huge cat prowling across a yard in front of a house, and he said the combination of the image of that big cat, the metal music he was listening to, the slight high he was feeling, plus the feeling of being in the zone that comes from a good workout, his imagination grabbed him, and he imagined being there, running across the yard, and tackling and fighting that cougar. It was one of the most simultaneously hilarious, absurd, and badass things I’d ever heard of. 😂 Edit: and for the record, that became a thing my little brother wanted to do irl: become so badass he could defeat a cougar barehanded. And now I want to do it too.
@@AldrickExGladius no he's not ? a lack of purpose and wanting to defend something doesn't make you a school shooter it's an inherent male biological instinct, next you'll tell me any man that has daydreamed about "what if a zombie apocalypse happened right now" are all literally hitler who wish to destroy the lower inhumans the zombies are a metaphor for.
Shoe/June has been in the trenches talking about male issues for nearly a decade now. Still gets hated and flack regularly on both sides. Much respect to our smol soldier.
She got flack because Joker tried to pitch in with some points or a counter-point and she blocked him. It's good she is talking about it, I just don't know what good all this talking is doing.
@@remyllebeau77- Shoe is as politically ignorant in some ways, I don't follow her closely anymore... so I don't know if she still part the little Communist cabal. In regard to Feminism she's on the money.
I watched my 19 year old nephew flounder for 18 months after HS.Dropped out of College, and tech school. He seemed to have everything going for him too...tall , handsome strong but his head was just lost. He was depressed, angry, lonely no friends. And of course he kept it all bottled up. Luckily my sister was strong enough to really push him enough and he joined to Coast Guard. Was the best thing he ever did.
Going to the same problem right now with my nephew's one join the Navy he couldn't handle it over a week he got himself a job though at the post office so that
Asmongold had a great take on this particular bit (in the first... 6 minutes of his video). To paraphrase, men no longer have a northern star, a guiding light or goal. We got nothing to look forward to on top of the issue of loneliness and being told we are evil and stagnant wages. Everything becomes so... grey. I have a younger brother much in this same position and I want to help him.
If masculinity was toxic then the kids growing in homes without fathers would be turning out better than the kids growing up with fathers. That’s not what’s happening though, is it…
@@ronwatford7331 Fatherless homes is literally the number one predictor in everything from suicides, drug use, crime, sexual deviancy, more fatherless homes, and the list goes on and on....
what's also interesting is both feminists and the manosphere slammed her video on "male loneliness" which she responded to that, she must be doing great work
When you don't pledge allegiance to a group and just stick to what you personally think is right, you tend to make a lot of enemies. I admire her for sticking to her guns. Like she said in another video: "I am not sorry, I have done nothing wrong and I will do it again."
Both sides have always come after her. Agree with her opinions or not, it's abundantly clear she's not just saying shit to jump on a bandwagon, she's been pretty consistent about her opinions, whether people support them or not, for a long time.
It's about time. She was fighting against the negative opinions of the feminist epidemic for a good while now, and you covering her It's a breath of fresh air
Yes. But for this video, she is just repeating what other youtubers have been discussing for years, e.g. Better Bachelor or Strong Successful Male. So it seems a bit of a ripoff. Female content producers (e.g. Justpearlythings) are now discovering this for themselves. So yeah, I'm not per se against it, but it sure isn't anything "revolutionary" as some people are insisting. People already aware about this. And there is the chance that weak males will be simping for women who finally seem to get "their" talking points.
@@svr5423it's good that it's getting more coverage, if I'm honest. Until I saw her videos, wasn't aware of just how bad it is that people don't give a fuck. One of my brother's best friends recently killed himself. Drove his car into a tree. It's freakin'horrible. I wonder how many feminists in this world would've just acted like he needed to man up, instead of trying to understand what he was going through. It honestly made me mad as a bull seeing red thinking how there's a lot of people ragging on guys like him, when he was such a great bloke and was just doing it tough.
Shoe is great. She's very well spoken, intelligent, well informed, and funny. She gets a lot of hate because she doesn't pander to a narrative and tells things how they actually are. All the power to her
@@aaronharlow2137thats the thing I like about her she doesnt choose specific targets she just verbally machineguns Down anyone who is retarded in that situation, no mater the political beliefs even if she is left leaning, and guess what it doesnt matter both parties have retarded people and normal people
As a mother of 3 boys and a psychologist, this has deeply disturbed me for a significant amount of time. Not only nature causing difficult emotions but society shunning them and the “progressive” left emasculating them. I guess they forgot the whole “be kind” mantra. With male clients I always provide male-focused crisis support as well as general so they know they’re not alone from a male POV. Fact is, all humans have flaws. People need to stop demonising men and encouraging better male role models like Isaac who give a frank perspective.
Your boys love you for it 100%. I love my Mum and find it so easy to talk with her because of the male perspective she has. Her coming from a family of brothers, uncles and step dads. (All alcos, that’s why she moved so far away) Crazy era we live in & crazy how perspective & social media skews observation points
No. Its not "people need to...". First and foremost, mothers must stop grooming boys into female tools, and start raising boys in a way that benefits them first, and foremost. She must have her son's good as an absolute priority - not whats nice and beneficial for some theoretical future prospective female partner. Also, mothers need to stop raising daughters into entitlement. The rest will sort itself out, by itself, within few years.
It's insane society perceives masculinity as misogyny yet women transitioning into men are raised up and told things like "omg you look so masc, so happy for you!" 😮
I'm going to be honest, though... I rarely see that happen. Trans-men typically get pushed out of the manosphere. We do a hell of a lot more to raise trans-women up on a platform. I think more men suffer from gender disphoria because society constantly pounds on men, saying that men are bad no matter what.
June is such a good creator - even if I dont always agree with her I do most of the time and she's a very smart woman. She has stood her ground and taken an INCREDIBLE amount of flak over the years but has always remained resolute and refuses to be pushed around. Its really good to have someone like her on our side.
Men are lonely and miserable? No, really!? When they're constantly being told on social media and mainstream media they're worthless, toxic, mean, criminals, etc. Men! You are amazing! You are worth it! This world would be nothing without you!
Your good will is appreciated, but misguided. Have you heard that thing where for every negatvie comment, it takes like 10 positive ones to counteract it? It's a psychology thing... basically... The men that are broken already, are beyond your ability to help them, you don't have 10 lifetimes worth of positivity to counteract the lifetime of negativity they've had. The best you can do, is fix the laws that screw men over, and fight against the misandrists that create such men... So that newer generations of men don't end up experiencing this misandrism. The best you can do for the men that are broken at this point, is allowing them to be in an environment where their m*ntal state doesn't get worse... Beyond that, they can't be helped at this point... The damage is done, and it is permanent.
Naaaaw I wish I coud believe you. 43 and have been single all my life by choice after seeing how much hoes women were since high school so never got serious with them to avoid heartbreak. Not sure why they were so horrible to me when I was in my prime. Now myself and many other men see no reason to ever like women if they are such trecherous creatures from experience.
@@I_Made_it_Up When Shoe and Skeptic were together, they actually answered saying that they are left leaning Hence why they also put out a lot of things critical (to varying degrees) of "prominent left ideas" I also had to search up breadtube, bro you had me thinking they streamed or something with a PNG of bread for a couple minutes lol
I remember seeing her thumbnails a couple of times before finally watching her video. Glad I finally hit the bullet and clicked on it, it's quite refreshing all the information she uses instead of just feelings.
As men, We are so frowned upon in society that we haft to have women to talk about our problems for people to actually care. We can't even talk about our own goddamn problems without being repromanded!
Yup. I’ve had insecurities and self hate for years but I don’t get the luxury my younger siblings do. Gotta be the rock till my mind cracks and I get put down 🤷
@@GoldenMushroom64you do understand who raised most of these men correct? Single mothers. Women are the very reason so many men act like shit lmfao. Our grandfathers could work a single job and own a 2 story house with a 2 car garage, family, and multiple vacations. Men could buy a sports car for less than a years salary, men also got away with a whole fuck load more shit. Men could smack women back then. False allegations wernt as much of a thing. Women also acted traditionally instead of whores who put thier entire body on the internet for cheaper than a damn sandwich lmfao. All these men who are suffering suffer because their single mother never chose a good man to be a father. Then we have no fault divorce to incentivise divorce for women, alimony, child support. Women can abort a mans child any time they want including after birth now like California. Child custody being heavily heavily skewed towards women. Divorce courts always side with women, women get safe spaces and assitance theought their entire life.
@@MistaBazeyou could seek a therapist. Idk I've known a lot of women with mental/personality disorders or trauma that feel isolated and unheard. Most people don't really like someone constantly venting about actual problems that aren't relatable or associated with petty gossip and drama
@@apatheticxmindsetx3549 🤷 I don’t got the money or the time to go through therapists trying to find one that cares. So I’ll keep doing this till it doesn’t work anymore. I don’t really care if nobody likes me, they don’t have to and I don’t deserve it. So if it wouldn’t be to much trouble, could you piss off and leave me to fuck myself up? Kinda want to see how close I get to the edge.
You're so lucky, good for you guys🌞👍🏻👍🏻.I met a really good man when we were both only 12.... Sadly he's struggled with untreated Depression for years so it hamstrung our lives😮💨. Hopefully someday it pans out🤷🏻♀️.Best wishes😊.

Same here. I'm very content with life, and slowly working on possibly world changing technologies and solutions... ... but I did so by "devolving" into an hermit, ridding myself of many expected habits. In part because I feel no interest in adherence to current society. Only society-related thing I'm looking forward to is implementing my solutions, and financing visiting Filipina friends I have met online.
Same here.. Almost 10years now.. The peace is safe and all.. But the damage.. The depression and loneliness..definitely is the price to pay.. Sad for us all who are in this place.. Especially sad for the men suffering. Because of these retarded women feminists...
@@jonihonkala1193yeah they wanted that “bad boy” and they don’t realize that that “bad boy” is a genuine psychopath and beats you repeatedly BUT gives you the best sex ever (to them).
This is terrifying. As I listen I realize that as I get older, I’m becoming much more reclusive. My friends are in other states. I spend an inordinate amount of time alone at home. When I date, I never get vulnerable with my girlfriend which ends up making all of my relationships quick. I honestly don’t see a way out of this hole. I used to be extremely social, but at 40 I’ll go days without talking to anyone. This world has become a dark place. I’m floundering to find purpose as an antidote to my despair. If you’re in this hole too, I’ll pray for all of us and try to hold onto the hope we can find the ladder to get us out.
Choose a charity or cause that means a lot to you and go volunteer. You’ll meet good people with similar interests and values and it will help you feel much better. Humans need certain things to be happy- a sense of community, achievable goals, etc. Good people do good things. Don’t let entitled superficial people in your circle. Everyone has comfort zones that shrink. Push against them.
I understand how you feel. I'm only 29 and I feel the same. Struggling to see any significant purpose for my existance on this planet. Go to God brother. Only he can give us purpose and only what we do in Jesus' name will last. Stay strong brother.
Relationship wise, I say be honest (after a reasonably appropriate amount of time - no ones attracted to people who put a mountain of sadness down off the bat). If you're partner isn't someone you can be honest with, it's a waste of a relationship. Find another. It's hard, but at least then the time is spent finding a good relationship, not spent investing in a bad one. At least, that's my take. Similarly, I say go get some hobbies and find friends through them. Depending on where you are, finding people who aren't politically driven in their relationships can be hard, but I say ignore those people once again. Ignore the bad focus on the good. That's what I do. I have plenty of women who are... insane in my life, but having other people around who do agree with my opinions helps to ground me and remind me I'm not radical for disagreeing with them. Especially knowing my partner and I agree.
Yo Issac, I am a 24 year old kiwi and I found your channel last week. It is good to see someone talking about difficult topics and offering good and valid solutions. The humour helps, love your work
One of my best friends has three kids, two boys and a girl the boys are 16 and 13 and little miss is 11. She said to me the other day that she never in a million years thought that raising her boys would be harder than raising a girl. The way boys and men are attacked just for being male now is truly heartbreaking. I as a woman stand with and for men. Simple as that.
The way men are judged, attacked, critiqued, or just flat out told to delete themselves isnt new. I'm 38 and I've been hearing this shit my entire life. I also live in the shittiest state in America but this is nothing new.
@@CL053DC45K37same here only 32 but as soon as you enter your teens you are hit with this reality. It why I try to teach my family how bad our society is towards men.
Men don’t have to take take this. I don’t understand. We can’t act alone, and in that case watching society decay and not being able to do anything about it is too difficult to reconcile my self righteousness, and so I’m out. I’m sitting the next play out so to speak. I’m not feminizing myself or bowing to women on any grounds and as it stands currently persevering in your masculinity will more than likely get you incarcerated. I could literally choke out every woman I have ever met in my life and yet I am completely disempowered to stand up for myself and it’s just not sustainable. Men are choosing to be “lonely” they are choosing to leave the workplace and college just to avoid women and it’s just self preservation.
Shoe on head is the only girl on the net I watch. Found her 5 years ago. Smart funny and mostly in the middle politically. You can tell she loves here dad because she respects men. Nice to see a young girl not totally crazy. Good work by her.
@ArizonaVideo99 June is in her 30s, but she gets that a lot lol! Even still, she's been at this a decade and is very good at articulating the topical and really diving in. She's great
She's not in the middle politically. She's a leftist. So much so that she's gone after Trump supporters. She's a Bernie supporter. Stop assigning "good" characteristics. She'd happily talk you into cutting your hands off, then smile at you and ask you to clap.
I like the follow-up video on how people reacted to this video. Shows a lot about these people. How she responds to people is always hilarious. I love her content
@ph0nkwalk3r yeah, I know. That's why I said I love her follow-up, implying I've seen it. I was just saying I love content and how she responds, and humors, the people who just love to talk
Yeah. She really is. She is one of the few left leaning people that has common sense here. Very rare but it's good to see there's still some common sense
I'm a 23 year old woman and love masculine men. We need each other to survive. Keep doing what you're doing fellas, you deserve love and respect. Ignore the toxic, chronically online psychos.
I'm 41 and I've learned that women need me to survive and that no, I don't need you. In fact you are universally useless. The only thing in life is to provide for you... No thanks, sec is not that good. Learn to change a tire. Learn to do your own plumbing. Wire up a damn light yourself. The only reason you like men is because we do this shuff for you.
Not sure if people noticed but ShoeOnHead had to take a break and walk away for a bit, cuz the hate she received. Prayers and respect to her, hope she finds peace in the powerful msg she shared, and shame on those that attacked her for sharing visibility to the male experience. Women are feral now, we all must take solace when its required .
My husband and I both come from divorced parents. We lived together and had a son at 22 and 28. A year later, at 23 and 29, we got married. We've been together 21 years come February. Married 19 years in Aug. He's younger than me and everyone said not to do it. Everyone who told us that is now divorced. We're still going strong. ❤ Family is beautiful. It's work but it's worth it.
"Shoe on head" is a reference to a time when 4 Chan would ask web cam girls to put their shoe on their head. The expectation was for the views to ask the girls to show their bodies or preform a sexual act , instead they were asked to put a shoe onto their head.
I have no issue with loneliness as i can't stand being around people for too long. The issue I have is living just to work and pay taxes. I will never bring a child into this world just to work and pay taxes. It's a terrible system.
Yep, the financial side of things is one of many factors I have taken a firm stance on to not having any kids also, apart from all the horrific events and mindsets they are exposed to more easily through internet at a younger age. This world is rotten. I know this is a VERY personal decision for every person to make, but I can understand why the mindshift is taking place
I'm a 46yr old single father and I think about this daily. I've been single for about 12yrs by choice. I decided when me and his mother split up that I would give 100% of my time and attention to my boy. It's paid off really well. He's 16, a great young man, And the best thing that ever happened to me. But it is a bit lonely at times. I'm constantly broke and eternaly worried about my son existing in this world .
@@CordellPottsI'm sure he's gonna make it. You seem like a great father figure and male role model, and that's an extreme contributor to developing healthy masculinity and a good personality. I'm sure he'll be fine.👍
Life always has and always will be work. We work less than any other period in history. You think the founders America took weekends off, had paid vacations, clocked out after 8 hours? No they didn't, they worked from sun up to sun down, or they didn't eat, didn't have shelter, ect.
Personally, Male Loneliness is about Contradictions. We're told to be expressive but then told to be quiet when we try. When we try to defend or protect, we're told it's not needed. But when something happens and we don't step in, we're still at fault. If women honestly knew what we men faced day to day, between ignorant feminists and new society pandering, they'd feel like no one's in their corner.
Thats why men should just walk out of the jobs all of them, like a month of walkout where men are paid to take a month off and let women take the reigns for all the infrastructure, power,resource exploitation, food distribution,growing, everything.
No, I disagree. How often do you get put in life or death situations? When was your rite of passage. How many chances do you get to seek fortune in a high-risk situation, and face worse than failure if you don't rise to the occasion? Men aren't created from boys. They are created from overcoming hardship and diversity. Modernity is too fucking comfortable.
Unfortunately I’m one of the people stuck in what seems like permanent loneliness. 24 years old, never had a gf and out of the maybe 7 times I’ve been close being in a relationship, they all ended horribly. Now even though I still try to put myself out there and after making changes for myself, I keep avoiding any possibility of relationships. It’s like the switch is broken
I know exactly what you're going through. I'm in the same boat as you but twice your age. Never had a girlfriend. In fact women will barely talk to me and if I ever get to the point where I want to know the woman better she "just likes me as a friend." I'm so sick of hearing that. I gave up trying completely when I hit 40 and finally admitted to myself that's just the way it's meant to be. Some of us are just destined to be alone.
Trust me on this, focus on the things you want to do. Whenever I was looking, I was always empty, when I got on with my own stuff, that's when everything took off. Have some time for yourself to just relax and always remember, you're the centre of everything, so take care of yourself first. All the best, man
Shoe is one of the few leftist you tubers that I'll listen to on a regular basis. Her socialist aligned economic ideas are not something I can agree with, but with everything else, she really has her head screwed on. she doesn't buy into the insane wokery an modern feminism. She calls out problems on the right as you'd expect from any leftist, but she's very willing to call out her "own side" too. Plus, she won't just read from wikipedia like some do and will put in the time and work to get the data to put in her videos. Glad you found this video, hopefully you audience will get the important message behind it.
She’s a whacked leftist that’s found the golden ticket as a woman who simply has to mention men’s issues and 350k simps and betas are right there to feel good hearing her talk about them… 🤦♂️ she’s playing you just as much as the OF girls are…
There used to be a time when you could disagree with someone and still respect them, if their opinions were well-intentioned and genuine. It should be super-rare to agree with all of a persons opinions, but even if they disagree with you some of the time, you cn agree with some of their opinions.
@@brotherkhrayn3525 Maybe it's just that the entire left-right dichotomy is flawed. People's opinions can be nuanced and also change (as in where they'd be put on a political map) with different topics, even if the current wave of tribalism would have us all believe otherwise.
I’m a single guy been that way for 3 years. I just became disgusted with the way a lot of women have become impossible to please and have insane expectations. Most of them Now expect a 6 pack, 6 figure jobs, 6ft 1 or taller, and won’t have to work. Unless you have all those things they just don’t see you as an option and it’s breaking most of us average guys apart and crushes the desire to continue trying.
Those expectations would be fine if they were also on par with such a man. But we got Gorlock & her kin over here confused as to why her 6 figure prince charming is struggling to accept his new reality.
I am not sure those are the things most women demand. More like those are what men think attractive is. It’s all due to our insecurities. Women have similar problems. I for one used to think that all men like huge boobs, which automatically made me unattractive. Turns out, it’s not true, not all men. My point is there are definitely women for whom a man like you ticks all the boxes. The other question is what kind of women a man goes after. If he is after super sexy insta models who invest tons of money and time in their appearance, he must be ready for “insane expectations”🤷♂️
@@SylenkoIreneNo. We have numbers from both Pew Research Center and multiple dating apps. A cross examination will tell you that men have nothing to do with it. This is a problem created squarely by the other sex, but society doesn't like when you point out that they aren't perfect.
I currently attend TAFE (Technical College for non-Australians) and the other day I was waiting, by myself, for the lift. The lift doors open, I step inside and press the button for my floor. Two people stop the lift doors and come in, a female and a trans person. The trans person accused me of being aggressive. This was the entirety of the interaction, I have never had anything to do with these people before, neither directly or indirectly. Yet according to them, I'm aggressive for no other reason than the fact that I caught a lift.
I was married at 19 he was 20, and we're still together now at 39, and I would never change it, we have gone through a lot of struggles as most relationships but we have never given up on each other. People now are far too quick to give up. Our son who is in his teens never had access to a phone or iPad type thing until he was 13, there is just no need for young children to have this. I cringe when I see kids in push chairs face in a device, you need to learn to be bored and find and make your own entertainment, kids won't do this with parents pushing devices in their hands. My son is actually feeling lonely and I put it down to society, each girl he asks out doesn't know if they are gay or not or doesn't know how to control their wildly incorrect views of men. What is wrong with our kids? I'm not surprised young men are feeling lonely, women are being told a family is a type of trap and you can't do things you enjoy, the most rewarding enjoyment is created by giving to something else and watching it grow
I would be able to tell you you two have not been what we have been through and I bet your partner has ended up abusive, power tripper etc thank fuck I'm leaving mine and have another boyfriend who is the complete opposite I can quite guarantee you have not been raped and have had your partner have to watch it and could do nothing about it etc if you haven't been through shot like that you haven't been through nothing
@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEENOkay want to play traumalympics? Here we go: My father r-worded my mother in front of me when I was a kid, beatdown before the act. Her mother attempted to end me on multiple occasions, because *she was the one in love with him* He self-deleted. Had to brush his brains out of my hair when I was six. His mother hated my mother from the beginning because *she was also in love with him* Granny liked me only due to the fact I was 50% him. I don't trust either gender. But by experience, the damage inflicted by XX never heals, while that which is done by XY might be overcome (or you're no more)...
I watched shoeonheads video when she first made it and it still hits my feels just the same seeing it now...I want what Isaac has so much and I'm not talking about his success, I want a girl in my life that loves me and is my best friend and it just seems so impossible in todays world. Ngl it's a constant struggle to not become part of the statistics myself and it just keeps getting worse each year.
From one man to another, if you ever do get that, don't lose it. Because that's worse than never having experienced it at all. It's a miracle I haven't joined the stats but someday I probably will. So if you do get the dream, don't fuck it up.
I'm a divorced father in my 40s. I was desperately lonely for about 6 months after my divorce, but it faded. I've made zero attempts at dating in the last year and a half, and the place in my heart where I should have some kind of feeling about my situation is occupied by only a simple sense of finality. That part of my life is over, and I'm unexpectedly okay with it. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm glad that this is at last, being touched upon. I've been suffering from Psychogenic Pain Disorder (even though the use of that term is outdated) stemming from the psychological and verbal abuse I've received in public and in my home, for years now. The scorn and hate I have received over the past few years, that I'm not strong, smart, fast, funny, attractive, tall, talented or otherwise, in everybody's eyes apparently, has been debilitating. To the point where every time I see a happy couple in public, I have to hold onto the nearest object or railing to prevent myself from collapsing to the floor entirely, due to the intensity of the pain. It's cold, disabling and debilitating, I feel exhausted even though I've done nothing to exert myself, or freezing even though I literally live in a desert. I've lost so many friends since my graduation and acceptance into college, including the first woman I ever professed my love to in confidence, and even here I don't feel welcome. I hope that sooner rather than later, my pain as well as many others' who are unable to go anywhere, or say or do anything without being looked at like a freak will know peace.
I found my answer to all of this "It's all your fault" stuff and the loneliness. I just don't care anymore; I can feel my heart as cold as ice regarding love and friendship. I have close friends for sure, but it's like, I don't truly care anymore because I've been subtly and not-so-subtly told that I'm a supervillain determined to burn the world for so long that I've started to just not care anymore. I haven't felt love since the ninth time I was rejected and I just don't care anymore, the desire to be in a relationship died a bloody and brutal death that day and I just... went numb. I'm tired of trying and I just wanna face the abyss alone.
I am male and recently turned 18. Seeing this kind of crap makes me incredibly scared of progressing through my life in society. I enjoy working out and doing conventionally manly things, and people take that as me hating myself, so I try to make myself better by superficial means. I do try to improve myself, but I don't hate myself. I appreciate people like Shoe and Isaac who stand up for people like me who are told we are monsters and the main issue in society because we have a dick and we enjoy bettering ourselves.
You will be alright bud...most girls like and need men in their lives. Take care of yourself...Read, hike, keep working out and seek adventure...the rest takes care of itself!
Just turned 18 8 days ago and as a fan of shoe and the legend Butterfield, Seeing you guys talk about my life word for word is depressing. Its funny because ive been screaming for help for so long and yet have been told to "Man up" Im only 18 and ive already lost 3 friends to suicide due to growning up being told "men are bad" Were told to just suck it up in silence. Rest easy brothers, Ill see you soon
No there’s so much more to life than the fucking mess the current culture is showing. You can find a great woman if you look in the right places, bars and clubs are a NO but sports clubs and family type associations are where you can find good women.
I've been there too, as a teenager. If/since society does not value you, allow me to then. Give yourself to me, and I will give you purpose. Men are resources, which "progressive" societies have stupidly discarded out of sheer incompetence in leadership. I would not waste your potential: give it to me, and let me give you purpose, that of which I would also have hoped to give to the brothers you've already lost too.
I've lost too many friends over the years, I've always got an ear and a heart for my boys if they're having a tough time - always support the men around you, the world sure as hell doesnt. Cheers Isaac, gc 🤙
"I would rather have a mate cry on my shoulder than me cry at their funeral." paddy the baddy. Your boys are your last line of defence when your mind turns on you. Your shield is also for the men next to you. Form your wall.
Bang on brother. I'm a 6'5" blokey bloke and aware of my head as much as my heart and use both accordingly. Got heaps of women friends who I'm not trying to screw and not scared to talk real shit with my boys. Particularly when picking up off vibes. I don't change who I am for anyone but I'll talk to everyone. One thing I've noticed amongst mates and men in general is that those who chose the office over hands on work have slowly but surely been steered into another paradigm all together. They are constantly checking themselves against the patchwork of bullshit and it's worn them down. They'll even defend a lot of it, but I can assure you they aren't happy living in it and it's like they're devolved. Just not right. Definitely left though
Same here, I'm a Libertarian but sometimes I like to watch left leaning content to get a better understanding of their viewpoints. She's one of the few that doesn't make my head hurt.
@@hogmeet3942 what's funny is I'm fairly left-leaning myself in most areas compared to a lot of the conservatives I watch (not referring to Isaac, I'm not sure he'd call himself a conservative) but the left has gone so far left and lost sight of common sense that I just can't listen to most of them anymore. Sure there are a lot of people on the right who are there too, like Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh imo, but your average conservative seems much more reasonable to me these days and more willing to actually have a conversation.
@@scarlet12234In what aspects are they "too far left". I think the issue is perhaps you're not as left leaning as you have thought and now we've reached topics to make most uncomfortable it's time to jump ship. Despite comfort they still need to be addressed, however.
I've been watching her for a bit now, and she is actually quite good. She does make great content 👌 👏 Plus, she not woke, which is a big plus!! I actually have watched this video by her.
Shoe deserves two medals, one for bravery and one for science. Edit: Don't forget the Aussie, Bettina Arndt. She's been fighting the good fight for a long time too. Edit 2: subscribed. Straight talk that makes sense. Awesome. Took your sweet time, RUclips algorithm.
If anything made me quit porn, it was the thought of a girl being interested in me, but when I get friendzoned... Back to our regularly scheduled episode 😂.
The idea of being "friendzoned" is such bull. People need to accept that someone might not be attracted to you or want a relationship or whatever... That needs to be accepted.
it isnt just about masculinity it's that if you're below average you are literally treated like pond scum. No matter what we do, it's worthless because we're treated as worthless.
I’ve never seen such a gross exaggeration in my life. I for one am below average at best and I’ve never had major issues with it. “Keep your nose outta trouble and no trouble’ll come to you” -some hobbit
I would like to defend the Batman AI stuff, if I may. Masturbation addiction is a serious addiction, just like alcohol or gambling. Getting heartfelt advice can help with it more than you might think, especially when that advice is written by a human and then read out by the voice of a role model that a lot of people look up to. This is THE animated Batman we're talking about; the same one who sat with a dying little girl and helped her to not feel alone in her last moments. That's the kind of person we all wish we had in our lives. Yet, so many men don't have that. The best they have right now is just a simulation. It's sad, and it shouldn't be falling to AI to provide comfort. But this is where we are at right now.
I hope Shoe sees this, a very wholesome response to an awesome Video. People had it harder in the Past but were more supportive to each other and masculine men definitely got their place in this world, now and ever.
This whole culture of hating men must stop. It’s absolutely disgusting but so prevalent in everyday interactions with other females, just small comments or opinions. My heart goes out to men I honestly really feel for you all
It will stop. When we've all eventually hit fuck it and strung ourselves up or eaten a pistol. Even then it won't stop until it personally affects women because believe me the extinction of men through mass suicide will be the funniest thing women have ever heard of until they realise they have to do everything for themselves now
I hadn't realised how prevalent this had become. Reclusion sneaks up on you. I don't even know how or when it happened. It wasn't conscious and I can't even remember how it happened. I used to be social with a healthy dating life. Then one day I was working from home, hadn't dated for years and had no friends left. I buy everything online so really the only people I see now are delivery guys. Otherwise it's not unusual to not leave the house for months. I don't even have and social media accounts anymore. That's how little I care about the world now. Life is just significantly easier without other people. I got tired of being the bad guy so I checked out of society. She's right. There's a total lack of purpose. There's nothing I really care about anymore. It's like I'm just going through the motions of life. It's like I'm simply existing until I don't.
Same dude , I havnt dated in nearly 8 years , I have a couple of acquaintances I wouldn't call good friends and I simply prefer not to be around people. The only thing I care for and the only reason my life is anything worthwhile is my 2 kids that I work hard to have and keep a great relationship with. If they weren't around I most def would not be. I'm honestly just in the very long process of waiting to expire.
@@tulmar4548I don't have kids but I have a mother who's dependent on me. Sometimes I think that's the only reason I've stuck around. I think people misunderstand that as being suicidal but it's not. It's more being tired of existence.
She voices the attitudes of normies, you know, the people who's social media interactions begin and end with facebook, who work 9 to 5 jobs and have a life, you know those who touched grass as teens and never turned into hateful internet losers with a bizarre and twisted outlook on the world. Social media is destroying the civilised world.
Shoe is oldschool left. Politically she leans left but of all the shit that is now considered politics, she picks it apart like anyone else should regardless of what policies they would support.
What a sad thing we are teaching young children... I am 33 and alone, and I guess I fall into the group of lonely guys. I know I want family and to have purpose. But so far I was unsuccessful in finding woman to have family with. It sounds kinda sad but all I have left is hope that I will manage to find someone soon. Which I don't believe is good at all. But what else can I do? To be clear at the moment I don't feel desperate, I just wish my journey was different.
As my ma tells me even though I'm a Christian and already know. This is what she tells me and blokes around my age who fall into this category which is me include. Buddy the best type of woman to find is a traditional woman or a Christian woman both these type of women are the most faithful you'll ever find and she isn't Christian so that should tell you something
Being an unemployed reclusive man with no income, this makes me feel a little bit better that i am not alone in my loneliness. The only thing worth living for for me is just to see everything get worse.
You can either wallow in misery or come up with some goals and keep trying even if you fail sometimes. I been going through hard times unemployed and homeless for a bit, but things are finally looking up.
I dont even remember typing this reply. Thanks for the encouraging and supportive replies. Yes, I abused marijuana for a long time as far as psychedelics, it's honestly at least 80% of the reason why I felt so low for so long. I craved it for a lot of years when I couldn't get it cheaply and easily, ever since I first tried it like 25 years ago, and had more than a few long stints of regular use over the years that fueled a lot of the fondest memories I have of my 20s. They always ended in relative disaster for me though. It was legalized in my state about 2 years ago, and I started using it daily after a few months of it being legal because it was what I wanted to do more than anything. I dont regret it, i needed to do it, but I dont look at marijauana the same way after having taken a short break and getting back into it about 2 months ago, feeling nothing but "high" as I noticed my heart was racing like I was in the middle of a marathon. Noticing my heart rate was elevated from marijuana wasnt new to me, but it was a moment of a reflexive physical "self-awareness" induced by paranoia. I came to realize over the last month+ that all marijuana probably did was mask a depression that was at times partly induced from the unwillingness to accept marijauana withdrawal as a real thing. Of course, your mileage may vary, but I used to think the withdrawal wasnt a thing for years because I was conditioned to not question the supremacy of the high and the mind altering "benefits." Mj is still great in a sense, I always felt that it often made me see my self and my actions in a novel way when my tolerance wasn't through the roof, and it did at least somewhat. More than a few times it caused me to reevaluate how I approach my life and relationships in various ways, and that's why I was so drawn to using it so much. Now, I really question whether the self awareness I got out of it was genuine, or just that the high remedied a depression I couldnt control, and on top of that had the added effect of making all my ideas seem more valid and awesome because it prevented me from being overly critical of myself as I (and all of us) have been conditioned to do for years. It wasn't good. I was a nasty person for a long time and felt justified because i was either high or going through withdrawals. I regret speaking my mind when I got angry, because it rarely did any good anyway, even if I was angry over something valid. Probably worked against me in some/most instances. Things are looking up for me though, I ended up getting a job I really wanted to try out after applying and interviewing again. I was passed over for it earlier in the year probably because I looked like a washed up hippy seeing as how I was high all the time I didn't see myself the way others saw me. Negative opinions of me aren't bulletproof, but they aren't invalid either; the marijuana made me disregard them completely because I just knew how great I was when I was high, even if other people didn't see it. I am back to just being a sober "loser" like I was before marijuana decades ago, and its really not all that bad. I kind of abandoned the internet since it's so toxic. I don't feel like I am missing out anymore by not constantly being high and on the internet.
@@jayzers9677 thanks for taking the time to write all of that out, it means something to me believe it or not. If I could offer one piece of advice, stop drinking. I dont handle alcohol well, so I am lucky to not have that as a dependency, but an old "friend" of mine has been struggling with that for years. He always said he "wanted a family," but when he got just that, and a wife that was finally mature and serious about a relationship, he ultimately couldnt give it up, and it even got worse from chasing an extravagant lifestyle rather than focusing on what was realistic when it came to having and nurturing a family. He stayed with me at night for quite a few months because his wife was livid with his inability to give up alcohol, and I tried to be supportive but he just refused to give it up. Probably still drinks. Last I heard he was in the process of getting his own place. He did some damage to MY life because of it. Lied about drinking to everyone. You've heard the story countless times, but when you see it in your own life, you see it more for what it is even if you want to be supportive. I really feel that he loves (I hope now it's "loved" but it's unlikely) alcohol more than the family he said he always wanted. 4 kids, two his own, and he was passing out every night while watching the youngest, unable to be roused from sleep. Going through withdrawal seizures while pumping gas. Wasting thousand of dollars over a few months on bottle after bottle of probably cheap liquor. I understand feeling like drugs are necessary if you look at my previous post, and I am grateful the powerful substance I ended up abusing wasnt physically addictive (nicotine is still a struggle for me, it will probably kill me), but it took really feeling it was necessary to give it up to truly do so. I dont want that to be all that I have to say to you, I am guessing you may be a little older than me if the numbers in your name are an indication of your birthday, but maybe the alcohol is more a source of your discontent than you realize. As far as being alone, I'm not really alone I guess, I have my brother even though I stopped hanging out with the few friends I had left. They were more a problem than I and culture at large would let me believe for years. We were all very negative for years regardless of our potential and whatever we did with our lives, and that informed how we viewed the world. That's probably confusing, but what I mean generally is it's tough to get out of the hole when the people who "support" you don't take what you have to say seriously because that's just their personality or they just think your a walking talking joke. A lot of people in my life just liked me because I was a jerk and said whatever was on my mind, especially when on drugs in a social situation, and thus never took anything I said seriously even when I was trying to be genuine. That affects how you feel about yourself even if you don't realize it, and it's no good for you OR them even if it makes them feel better that "well, at least I'm not as much of a mess as this guy," or "this guy needs a friend even though he is a mess, so I am going to be here for him because I'm so understanding and supportive." I genuinely hope things get better for you!
Your best video by far Isaac. ShoeOnHead is a breath of fresh air. I always have a laugh when someone says "men created the patriarchy" Patriarch is the term used for the male head of the family. Likewise with matriarch being female head of the family. To the men out there, don't let these braindead morons put you down. You are bigger then that
It's a determination of heads of families but more importantly it's still referenced to systems and governments. That's the literal definition. And yes, men created the patriarchy we see in *society* .
Nature created the norm and then society had common sense until a small group decided to create legalities which flipped nature on its head. What better way to control the masses than giving neurotic behavior full control of the ship. Result: women now have to work (check). Men have to work and stay in jobs that make them miserable (check). Women can take (or threaten to) everything if men don’t do as they demand - so men have to start over working (check). Marriage is no longer a partnership - it’s slavery!
Shoeonhead is a lowkey national treasure! She literally defends us men to the point where she gets death threats from feminist! We appreciate her truely! Shes well informed and uses her resources beautifully! I would absolutely love to see a video of you 2 speaking on this!!!
And let's not forget you sir! Your life goals are what I hope more people strive for!!! the statistics and your description of the fall of masculinity with the dog broke me.....not gonna lie I shed tears cause I felt all that...
There is a massive difference between being lonely and being alone. People have this strange notion that people who are alone are lonely, when in reality being alone rids you of the constant pestering and nagging of people who want to try to save you because they believe you're in a depression spiral into oblivion created by simply being alone.
I hope you and June are able to collaborate in the future. I may not agree with her or you on everything, but that's okay. You're both reasonable and have alot of great values to teach the world.
As a short person (I am definitely short as I have been reminded of it on a regular basis by many other people), I have been tempted by leg extensions, and if i had the money and it was available when I was young and stupid I would have gone for it. Being short effects your dating life, employment prospects and causes ridicule on a regular basis. Leave off the poor short bastards who don't want to suffer and who are doing something about it.
Anybody who judges you based on an uncontrollable trait is an example of a person to avoid. Use it as a ruler to gauge people's depth, you will learn to dodge the puddles...
I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I’m 6ft tall, my partner is 5ft 6. I don’t give a shit, he’s the best human I know, but it seems to really offend some people. X
Mate, I get you. The replies to the OP although trying to help are not reality, what OP said is true 100%. You can’t just magically change EVERYONES ingrained opinions of you based on height, it dm who or what you are judged by, YOU ARE ALWAYS JUDGED. OP knows this… telling him to not give a f doesn’t mean anything.. you think he hasn’t thought that already???? Fs man.
Ngl you definitely sound like a couple of my exs who were so insecure about themselves- specifically their height in comparison to me that they ended up negging the hell out of me till I left. Im 5'10 and the shortest I ever dated was 5'2 and why I left was never their height- it was how I was being treated. Many of them basically demanded I not wear heels and would pick at my looks in other ways and the topics I would bring up(I'm artsy and ADHD so I like loud colors and random information and they all knew this going into it- to sum me up well my one ex once told me "I have never met someone I have so much and so little in common."). The worst one of them I had initially really like as he also likes Ansel Adams(Photographer) but eventually talking to him got to a point that he was acusing me of trying to make him feel dumb/belittle him(which was 100% not what I was doing and a red flag to me) so I ended it- initially I didn't block him on social media but I did in the end because he started stalking me and trying to get me to get back with him telling me he was sorry over several months mixed with bouts of anger, negging and calling me a bitch. I guess I must do something right because I've lost count of the number of exes who broke up with me and the ones I've broken up with- who looked me up several times after we broke up trying to get back together. I believe in the once and done principle- if the relationship ends its over and I tell people this upfront. Shitty people exist in all genders but you will never have a good relationship unless you are happy with yourself and know how to treat others well.
You nailed it when you said you'd give everything material away to keep your family unit. I'd give everything away just to get one. ShoeOnHead is awesome by the way.
I am a gay man and I also feel huge pressure not to be masculine, woman call out any natural behaviour as "toxic", and some fellow gays see masculinity as "internalized homophobia"... Bro, Im just trying to be myself and enjoy life...🤷
I was starting to feel this for some time and what I did was deactivate my facebook and twitter. I don't experience this sort of hate irl. I think social media has skewed our view of the world because people express their deepest darkest thoughts online, but I really don't think most of them act on it in the real world. I've found that most people are respectful and cool if you're respectful and cool.
Completely agree. SM has distorted our world views drastically. For those very reasons you mentioned. Algorithms encourage and promote “hot takes” on issues, wether people actually agree with them or not. Which like you pointed out, I don’t think most of the nasty things said online would ever be said in a face to face conversation. We are losing SO much when we aren’t communicating face to face. No body language, no tone, no cadence, none of those things that help us “read” a situation and/or person. Which I think leaves a lot of people to project their own feelings onto the things being said to them. Creating an absolute mess of unnecessary emotion. Leading to some to assume the world “hates” them of is out to get them. Distorting that world view. Removing SM from my life has had nothing but a positive effect on me. Im starting to feel normal with how I view strangers. Assuming they are likely a pretty chill person. Which, 9/10, they are. People are generally kind and we all really want the same things. To be loved and have others to love.
a major contribution is how much everyone wants to shit on us. I date girl, she abuses me, we split, everyone takes her side, when I make my point the only response is "man up". I'm left with less friends, less money, and more trauma. Why exactly would I want to keep that cycle and constantly shrink my world.
I can honestly say I am the average man. I work trying to get by. I'm single, no friends really. Only time I leave my home is to work or go to the grocery store. Yeah I'm pretty much the average dude just trying to survive, I don't even bother talking to women most times out of the simple fact I do not want the police called on me for just speaking to someone. So Yeah I get angry at work, I get tired of dealing with others relatively quickly. And friendship to me at this point feels like a burden because the only people I socialize with are at my job and they always will want something in return. Generally speaking I'm alone and on my own most of the time.
I realise this may be redundant. But you should reach out to people instead of waiting for them to reach out to you. Also join some type of sport club. I promise there are more people that feel like you than you think
Realize this, if joining any form of club were financially within my reach I'd do so and I happen to have severe epilepsy. I am not a teenager either. Fact is a lot of things cost money and I cannot afford to waste money on clubs. I have to pay for my medication to keep breathing.@@catmerchant8699
"I don't bother talking to women...I don't want police called on me for just speaking to someone". When the hell has that ever happened? Lol, this is why y'all are deservedly alone and lonely; you make up scenarios in your heads and hurt your own feelings. It's actually pathetic and embarrassing.
Not just a huge difference, an immense difference. When I'm alone I can still be happy and have a great time overall..... When I'm lonely I get depressed...... Funny how two terms that are largely associated with each other have polar opposite meanings.
She hit the nail on the head. Men have to look outside of real/their life to find inspiration. Thats why comic book heroes and celebrities speaking for them resonate so well. I had a father, grandfather, and uncles who were massive inspirations on how men should be. It helps, but if someone grew up in a broken home without anything but female guidance, they end up messed up for the gritty world we live in.
@@krafterzdavid1757 not even that, it's more giving up in frustration when they don't understand the issues the child is having, bc they don't understand the perspective most men are feeling from.
I guess it depends on the type of mother. My mom was a narcissistic alcoholic who drove my dad away and had a abusive relationship with my step dad who wasn't any different. Blaming and abusing me and my brothers for everything that fell apart from her actions. Telling me I had no value or worth and should have been aborted. I know others who were raised by single moms that actually made something of themselves with a trade skill or career and are mature responsible adults. My dad was hardly involved in my life and didn't teach me anything about being a male or life in general
Thank you for making this, Isaac. I got nervous when I saw the thumbnail cos normally you'll make fun of the creator but I'm glad to see you can agree with people also. Wholesome. You are a good influence on men
I work in hospitlaity and the number of parents I've seen just dump their kid in front of a screen for hours during their meal/wedding/function etc is shocking.
I recently got put on some medication and one of the side effects was it killed my sex drive and I seemed to not care as much about being single.. and I've honestly never been happier, all the desire to have a partner did was make me miserable as I simply don't have the social skills to find a partner.
I do feel for men nowadays. Women are only interested in a man who has lots of money, a car and a house. I know two who were like that, one has never settled down, I think she is more than likely too demanding, and the other is happily married. Two sisters related to me. Their father, ( my brother) was left out because he wasn't good enough, he didn't have his own business, he was in the navy then a firefighter until he retired at fifty, then died around three years later. Our family was not good enough and they never wanted anything to do with any of his side of the family. Sad, but I got over it, no one is better than us us, just because we are not rich.
I know it’s dumb but I’m guilty of the ai Batman thing. Something about hearing it from a character that’s so noble that I grew up with and was a massive part of my childhood makes me feel more like I’m not alone with this. I would like to say though, I’ve only done it a few times
We seriously just need to take a step to fucking understand each other. No more generalizing, no more seperation, no more marginalization, no more hate for something someone can't control.
Praying wont help. We need infrastructure, ministers of "male condition", and the same systemic awareness that is so readily given to every women and BIPOC-LGBTQ2+SIAS(ABC) person. My ministry of education is posting job openings for a field occupied by 70%+ female (education)... and continue to finish every job offer with the discriminatory statement of "please apply if you you (not a man or white, or at least be a white woman)"
Getting married young isn’t a bad thing. The maturity of the people involved is more important. My wife and I got engaged at 20, married at 21. Been married 6 years and have an adopted son. The way people go about dating is the bigger issue. I knew everything I needed to know on the first date. Having the same values and beliefs and the will to make things work outside the minor differences is all you need.
I've learned to enjoy my time alone,no freinds is far better than being surrounded by toxic people. Most of my friends and family have died so you must accept things and adapt to it
I have been fortunate to have been able to find a friend group in college. It is depressing seeing so many of my peers struggle to even find friends, let alone romantic attachments, in their adult life.
Shoe is an absolute legend. Love her. This is an actual brave woman talking about real things with no bias or virtue signalling. Not the modern brave woman that can’t look at and understand both sides
I watched this, and I felt so lucky that I've got an amazing circle of friends. If any of you guys out there are struggling with loneliness, please go out there and join some club or go out there and try out a hobby. Anything you can be interested in, you can find others who are.
Men are important in our society and in our lives!!!! If I didn’t have the amazing male role models in my life who encouraged me, looked out for me and helped me in difficult times, I don’t know where I’d be!!!!!! ❤ please don’t lose hope and do NOT let these psycho haters win!!!!!! ❤
The amount of hate she got for talking about this issue was incredible.
Even more so the demographic that was hating... sad in and out itself
I think what got her flack from the manosphere is they don't trust the reasons behind it, most of em were like oh they care about our problems when they can get something from us etc
Meanwhile what she said made me struggle to not fall in love with her.
She dared to say men are people...
“Men wouldn’t be so lonely if they weren’t so -ist or -phobic.”
Typical response
I worked with a dude who once said, "Man, I wish someone would let a mountain lion loose in the office, just so I could feel alive." Dude was lonely and lacking purpose. And I could relate, the work we were doing was not fulfilling.
Damn! thats my attitude currently. Lately, I've been feeling flat. I feel trapped in routine. My office is very quiet, and my current role doesn't have a lot of social interaction. I'm just an ordinary salary man, who has a day job, does groceries and cooks. I'm 41, and I try my best to go to meetups and social events, but it seems harder connecting with people than it did a few years ago. I just feel like I'm doing an "ok" job, when I need to be doing better. It's much more competitive now. I need to be more extroverted, more confident and better looking to make friends and to date.
I do have a purpose. I want to aim for a better a job and move into an area where I feel more accepted. The hobbies and freelance work do help in this mission. I do hope that other men can find their purpose as well. I'm also glad people are understanding of our situation, rather than telling us to "man up".
You triggered a memory. My brother was overweight for his first 20 years of life, and he got sick of it, so he started going to the gym. He worked out a lot, tried different diets and supplements, and started smoking the wacky tobaccy at some point. He told me this story about how one night, he smoked a little, and went into the gym to do some running. On one of the TVs in the gym there was a news story about a cougar that had wandered into a residential neighborhood, and he just saw this image of a huge cat prowling across a yard in front of a house, and he said the combination of the image of that big cat, the metal music he was listening to, the slight high he was feeling, plus the feeling of being in the zone that comes from a good workout, his imagination grabbed him, and he imagined being there, running across the yard, and tackling and fighting that cougar. It was one of the most simultaneously hilarious, absurd, and badass things I’d ever heard of. 😂
Edit: and for the record, that became a thing my little brother wanted to do irl: become so badass he could defeat a cougar barehanded. And now I want to do it too.
If you don’t want to fight a mountain Lion to save people then are you even a man? I feel these hypotheticals are in the minds of all men.
He needs to be fired immediately. That's the kinda guy that walks into work on a Friday with AK.
@@AldrickExGladius no he's not ? a lack of purpose and wanting to defend something doesn't make you a school shooter it's an inherent male biological instinct, next you'll tell me any man that has daydreamed about "what if a zombie apocalypse happened right now" are all literally hitler who wish to destroy the lower inhumans the zombies are a metaphor for.
Shoe/June has been in the trenches talking about male issues for nearly a decade now. Still gets hated and flack regularly on both sides. Much respect to our smol soldier.

I watched my 19 year old nephew flounder for 18 months after HS.Dropped out of College, and tech school. He seemed to have everything going for him too...tall , handsome strong but his head was just lost. He was depressed, angry, lonely no friends. And of course he kept it all bottled up.
Luckily my sister was strong enough to really push him enough and he joined to Coast Guard. Was the best thing he ever did.
Going to the same problem right now with my nephew's one join the Navy he couldn't handle it over a week he got himself a job though at the post office so that
Asmongold had a great take on this particular bit (in the first... 6 minutes of his video). To paraphrase, men no longer have a northern star, a guiding light or goal. We got nothing to look forward to on top of the issue of loneliness and being told we are evil and stagnant wages. Everything becomes so... grey. I have a younger brother much in this same position and I want to help him.
Men have to have a purpose first which gives direction...confidence etc. This is how God made us and makes sense.

If masculinity was toxic then the kids growing in homes without fathers would be turning out better than the kids growing up with fathers.
That’s not what’s happening though, is it…

When you don't pledge allegiance to a group and just stick to what you personally think is right, you tend to make a lot of enemies. I admire her for sticking to her guns. Like she said in another video: "I am not sorry, I have done nothing wrong and I will do it again."
Really need to stop the false equivalence
Both sides have always come after her. Agree with her opinions or not, it's abundantly clear she's not just saying shit to jump on a bandwagon, she's been pretty consistent about her opinions, whether people support them or not, for a long time.
I mean, considering how hatred motivated both groups I think pissing both off is a sign she is saying something right
It's about time. She was fighting against the negative opinions of the feminist epidemic for a good while now, and you covering her It's a breath of fresh air
Isn't she a commie now ?
Absolut
Yes. But for this video, she is just repeating what other youtubers have been discussing for years, e.g. Better Bachelor or Strong Successful Male. So it seems a bit of a ripoff.
Female content producers (e.g. Justpearlythings) are now discovering this for themselves.
So yeah, I'm not per se against it, but it sure isn't anything "revolutionary" as some people are insisting. People already aware about this. And there is the chance that weak males will be simping for women who finally seem to get "their" talking points.
Female content creators doing “men’s content” are simply riding the trend wave to get a larger audience.
@@svr5423it's good that it's getting more coverage, if I'm honest. Until I saw her videos, wasn't aware of just how bad it is that people don't give a fuck.
One of my brother's best friends recently killed himself. Drove his car into a tree. It's freakin'horrible. I wonder how many feminists in this world would've just acted like he needed to man up, instead of trying to understand what he was going through. It honestly made me mad as a bull seeing red thinking how there's a lot of people ragging on guys like him, when he was such a great bloke and was just doing it tough.
Shoe is great. She's very well spoken, intelligent, well informed, and funny. She gets a lot of hate because she doesn't pander to a narrative and tells things how they actually are. All the power to her

As a mother of 3 boys and a psychologist, this has deeply disturbed me for a significant amount of time. Not only nature causing difficult emotions but society shunning them and the “progressive” left emasculating them. I guess they forgot the whole “be kind” mantra.
With male clients I always provide male-focused crisis support as well as general so they know they’re not alone from a male POV.
Fact is, all humans have flaws. People need to stop demonising men and encouraging better male role models like Isaac who give a frank perspective.
Your boys love you for it 100%. I love my Mum and find it so easy to talk with her because of the male perspective she has. Her coming from a family of brothers, uncles and step dads. (All alcos, that’s why she moved so far away) Crazy era we live in & crazy how perspective & social media skews observation points
The mental health industry is built by women entirely for women.
No. Its not "people need to...". First and foremost, mothers must stop grooming boys into female tools, and start raising boys in a way that benefits them first, and foremost. She must have her son's good as an absolute priority - not whats nice and beneficial for some theoretical future prospective female partner. Also, mothers need to stop raising daughters into entitlement.
The rest will sort itself out, by itself, within few years.
I'm glad you do that, as a lot of the psychology profession is 100% geared around female centric mental health.
Not trying to come off a certain way but, would you feel the same way if you didn't have sons?
The loneliness and alienation men feel is definitely real and getting worse. Both your videos make lots of good and thoughtful points.
So true!!!! I hope I have 5 sons one day so I can love, encourage, respect them and tell them the world is false about them.

It's insane society perceives masculinity as misogyny yet women transitioning into men are raised up and told things like "omg you look so masc, so happy for you!" 😮
That's because even the supporters know they still aren't men
I'm going to be honest, though... I rarely see that happen. Trans-men typically get pushed out of the manosphere. We do a hell of a lot more to raise trans-women up on a platform. I think more men suffer from gender disphoria because society constantly pounds on men, saying that men are bad no matter what.
That's wild
Their arguments are so firmly rooted in the stereotypes they claim to oppose, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad

Men! You are amazing! You are worth it! This world would be nothing without you!
Your good will is appreciated, but misguided.
Have you heard that thing where for every negatvie comment, it takes like 10 positive ones to counteract it? It's a psychology thing... basically... The men that are broken already, are beyond your ability to help them, you don't have 10 lifetimes worth of positivity to counteract the lifetime of negativity they've had.
The best you can do, is fix the laws that screw men over, and fight against the misandrists that create such men... So that newer generations of men don't end up experiencing this misandrism.
The best you can do for the men that are broken at this point, is allowing them to be in an environment where their m*ntal state doesn't get worse... Beyond that, they can't be helped at this point... The damage is done, and it is permanent.

Our grandfathers could work a single job and own a 2 story house with a 2 car garage, family, and multiple vacations. Men could buy a sports car for less than a years salary, men also got away with a whole fuck load more shit. Men could smack women back then. False allegations wernt as much of a thing. Women also acted traditionally instead of whores who put thier entire body on the internet for cheaper than a damn sandwich lmfao. All these men who are suffering suffer because their single mother never chose a good man to be a father. Then we have no fault divorce to incentivise divorce for women, alimony, child support. Women can abort a mans child any time they want including after birth now like California. Child custody being heavily heavily skewed towards women.

This is terrifying. As I listen I realize that as I get older, I’m becoming much more reclusive. My friends are in other states. I spend an inordinate amount of time alone at home. When I date, I never get vulnerable with my girlfriend which ends up making all of my relationships quick. I honestly don’t see a way out of this hole. I used to be extremely social, but at 40 I’ll go days without talking to anyone. This world has become a dark place. I’m floundering to find purpose as an antidote to my despair.

Choose a charity or cause that means a lot to you and go volunteer. You’ll meet good people with similar interests and values and it will help you feel much better.

Relationship wise, I say be honest (after a reasonably appropriate amount of time - no ones attracted to people who put a mountain of sadness down off the bat). If you're partner isn't someone you can be honest with, it's a waste of a relationship. Find another. It's hard, but at least then the time is spent finding a good relationship, not spent investing in a bad one. At least, that's my take.
Similarly, I say go get some hobbies and find friends through them. Depending on where you are, finding people who aren't politically driven in their relationships can be hard, but I say ignore those people once again. Ignore the bad focus on the good. That's what I do. I have plenty of women who are... insane in my life, but having other people around who do agree with my opinions helps to ground me and remind me I'm not radical for disagreeing with them. Especially knowing my partner and I agree.

Life always has and always will be work. We work less than any other period in history. You think the founders America took weekends off, had paid vacations, clocked out after 8 hours? No they didn't, they worked from sun up to sun down, or they didn't eat, didn't have shelter, ect.
Personally, Male Loneliness is about Contradictions. We're told to be expressive but then told to be quiet when we try. When we try to defend or protect, we're told it's not needed. But when something happens and we don't step in, we're still at fault. If women honestly knew what we men faced day to day, between ignorant feminists and new society pandering, they'd feel like no one's in their corner.
Thats why men should just walk out of the jobs all of them, like a month of walkout where men are paid to take a month off and let women take the reigns for all the infrastructure, power,resource exploitation, food distribution,growing, everything.
No, I disagree. How often do you get put in life or death situations? When was your rite of passage. How many chances do you get to seek fortune in a high-risk situation, and face worse than failure if you don't rise to the occasion?
Men aren't created from boys. They are created from overcoming hardship and diversity. Modernity is too fucking comfortable.
Unfortunately I’m one of the people stuck in what seems like permanent loneliness. 24 years old, never had a gf and out of the maybe 7 times I’ve been close being in a relationship, they all ended horribly. Now even though I still try to put myself out there and after making changes for myself, I keep avoiding any possibility of relationships. It’s like the switch is broken
I know exactly what you're going through. I'm in the same boat as you but twice your age. Never had a girlfriend. In fact women will barely talk to me and if I ever get to the point where I want to know the woman better she "just likes me as a friend." I'm so sick of hearing that. I gave up trying completely when I hit 40 and finally admitted to myself that's just the way it's meant to be. Some of us are just destined to be alone.
Trust me on this, focus on the things you want to do. Whenever I was looking, I was always empty, when I got on with my own stuff, that's when everything took off.

There used to be a time when you could disagree with someone and still respect them, if their opinions were well-intentioned and genuine. It should be super-rare to agree with all of a persons opinions, but even if they disagree with you some of the time, you cn agree with some of their opinions.

I’m a single guy been that way for 3 years. I just became disgusted with the way a lot of women have become impossible to please and have insane expectations. Most of them
Now expect a 6 pack, 6 figure jobs, 6ft 1 or taller, and won’t have to work. Unless you have all those things they just don’t see you as an option and it’s breaking most of us average guys apart and crushes the desire to continue trying.
Those expectations would be fine if they were also on par with such a man.
But we got Gorlock & her kin over here confused as to why her 6 figure prince charming is struggling to accept his new reality.
At least the 6 pack is something you can mostly control. Cut out the sugar
I am not sure those are the things most women demand. More like those are what men think attractive is. It’s all due to our insecurities. Women have similar problems. I for one used to think that all men like huge boobs, which automatically made me unattractive. Turns out, it’s not true, not all men. My point is there are definitely women for whom a man like you ticks all the boxes. The other question is what kind of women a man goes after. If he is after super sexy insta models who invest tons of money and time in their appearance, he must be ready for “insane expectations”🤷♂️

I currently attend TAFE (Technical College for non-Australians) and the other day I was waiting, by myself, for the lift. The lift doors open, I step inside and press the button for my floor. Two people stop the lift doors and come in, a female and a trans person. The trans person accused me of being aggressive. This was the entirety of the interaction, I have never had anything to do with these people before, neither directly or indirectly. Yet according to them, I'm aggressive for no other reason than the fact that I caught a lift.
No one wants to ride an elevator (lift) with other people, I mean c'mon...
I was married at 19 he was 20, and we're still together now at 39, and I would never change it, we have gone through a lot of struggles as most relationships but we have never given up on each other. People now are far too quick to give up.
Our son who is in his teens never had access to a phone or iPad type thing until he was 13, there is just no need for young children to have this. I cringe when I see kids in push chairs face in a device, you need to learn to be bored and find and make your own entertainment, kids won't do this with parents pushing devices in their hands.
My son is actually feeling lonely and I put it down to society, each girl he asks out doesn't know if they are gay or not or doesn't know how to control their wildly incorrect views of men. What is wrong with our kids? I'm not surprised young men are feeling lonely, women are being told a family is a type of trap and you can't do things you enjoy, the most rewarding enjoyment is created by giving to something else and watching it grow
I would be able to tell you you two have not been what we have been through and I bet your partner has ended up abusive, power tripper etc thank fuck I'm leaving mine and have another boyfriend who is the complete opposite I can quite guarantee you have not been raped and have had your partner have to watch it and could do nothing about it etc if you haven't been through shot like that you haven't been through nothing

The struggle is good. Often it breaks us, then later makes us what we are. Men and women both struggle. It's a shame, as we need each other

I'm a divorced father in my 40s. I was desperately lonely for about 6 months after my divorce, but it faded. I've made zero attempts at dating in the last year and a half, and the place in my heart where I should have some kind of feeling about my situation is occupied by only a simple sense of finality. That part of my life is over, and I'm unexpectedly okay with it. 🤷🏻♂️
Power to you, bro!
Its both reassuring and depressing to know so many people feel the same way.
I'm glad that this is at last, being touched upon. I've been suffering from Psychogenic Pain Disorder (even though the use of that term is outdated) stemming from the psychological and verbal abuse I've received in public and in my home, for years now. The scorn and hate I have received over the past few years, that I'm not strong, smart, fast, funny, attractive, tall, talented or otherwise, in everybody's eyes apparently, has been debilitating. To the point where every time I see a happy couple in public, I have to hold onto the nearest object or railing to prevent myself from collapsing to the floor entirely, due to the intensity of the pain. It's cold, disabling and debilitating, I feel exhausted even though I've done nothing to exert myself, or freezing even though I literally live in a desert. I've lost so many friends since my graduation and acceptance into college, including the first woman I ever professed my love to in confidence, and even here I don't feel welcome. I hope that sooner rather than later, my pain as well as many others' who are unable to go anywhere, or say or do anything without being looked at like a freak will know peace.

I found my answer to all of this "It's all your fault" stuff and the loneliness. I just don't care anymore; I can feel my heart as cold as ice regarding love and friendship. I have close friends for sure, but it's like, I don't truly care anymore because I've been subtly and not-so-subtly told that I'm a supervillain determined to burn the world for so long that I've started to just not care anymore. I haven't felt love since the ninth time I was rejected and I just don't care anymore, the desire to be in a relationship died a bloody and brutal death that day and I just... went numb. I'm tired of trying and I just wanna face the abyss alone.
Glad you covered Shoeonhead - she's definitely been one of the more logical RUclipsrs over the years. Good stuff
I am male and recently turned 18. Seeing this kind of crap makes me incredibly scared of progressing through my life in society. I enjoy working out and doing conventionally manly things, and people take that as me hating myself, so I try to make myself better by superficial means. I do try to improve myself, but I don't hate myself. I appreciate people like Shoe and Isaac who stand up for people like me who are told we are monsters and the main issue in society because we have a dick and we enjoy bettering ourselves.
You will be alright bud...most girls like and need men in their lives. Take care of yourself...Read, hike, keep working out and seek adventure...the rest takes care of itself!
Just turned 18 8 days ago and as a fan of shoe and the legend Butterfield, Seeing you guys talk about my life word for word is depressing.
Its funny because ive been screaming for help for so long and yet have been told to "Man up"
Im only 18 and ive already lost 3 friends to suicide due to growning up being told "men are bad" Were told to just suck it up in silence.
Rest easy brothers, Ill see you soon

No there’s so much more to life than the fucking mess the current culture is showing. You can find a great woman if you look in the right places, bars and clubs are a NO but sports clubs and family type associations are where you can find good women.
Please not soon.
I've been there too, as a teenager.
If/since society does not value you, allow me to then.
Give yourself to me, and I will give you purpose.
Men are resources, which "progressive" societies have stupidly discarded out of sheer incompetence in leadership. I would not waste your potential: give it to me, and let me give you purpose, that of which I would also have hoped to give to the brothers you've already lost too.
I've lost too many friends over the years, I've always got an ear and a heart for my boys if they're having a tough time - always support the men around you, the world sure as hell doesnt.
Cheers Isaac, gc 🤙
"I would rather have a mate cry on my shoulder than me cry at their funeral." paddy the baddy. Your boys are your last line of defence when your mind turns on you. Your shield is also for the men next to you. Form your wall.
Bang on brother. I'm a 6'5" blokey bloke and aware of my head as much as my heart and use both accordingly. Got heaps of women friends who I'm not trying to screw and not scared to talk real shit with my boys. Particularly when picking up off vibes. I don't change who I am for anyone but I'll talk to everyone. One thing I've noticed amongst mates and men in general is that those who chose the office over hands on work have slowly but surely been steered into another paradigm all together. They are constantly checking themselves against the patchwork of bullshit and it's worn them down. They'll even defend a lot of it, but I can assure you they aren't happy living in it and it's like they're devolved. Just not right. Definitely left though
I'm a woman and I love Shoe! She's one of very few left-leaning people I watch anymore. She's actually capable of nuance.

@@hogmeet3942 what's funny is I'm fairly left-leaning myself in most areas compared to a lot of the conservatives I watch (not referring to Isaac, I'm not sure he'd call himself a conservative) but the left has gone so far left and lost sight of common sense that I just can't listen to most of them anymore. Sure there are a lot of people on the right who are there too, like Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh imo, but your average conservative seems much more reasonable to me these days and more willing to actually have a conversation.

I would like to defend the Batman AI stuff, if I may. Masturbation addiction is a serious addiction, just like alcohol or gambling. Getting heartfelt advice can help with it more than you might think, especially when that advice is written by a human and then read out by the voice of a role model that a lot of people look up to. This is THE animated Batman we're talking about; the same one who sat with a dying little girl and helped her to not feel alone in her last moments. That's the kind of person we all wish we had in our lives. Yet, so many men don't have that. The best they have right now is just a simulation. It's sad, and it shouldn't be falling to AI to provide comfort. But this is where we are at right now.

This whole culture of hating men must stop. It’s absolutely disgusting but so prevalent in everyday interactions with other females, just small comments or opinions. My heart goes out to men I honestly really feel for you all

It will stop. When we've all eventually hit fuck it and strung ourselves up or eaten a pistol.

I hadn't realised how prevalent this had become.
Reclusion sneaks up on you. I don't even know how or when it happened. It wasn't conscious and I can't even remember how it happened. I used to be social with a healthy dating life. Then one day I was working from home, hadn't dated for years and had no friends left. I buy everything online so really the only people I see now are delivery guys. Otherwise it's not unusual to not leave the house for months. I don't even have and social media accounts anymore. That's how little I care about the world now.
Life is just significantly easier without other people. I got tired of being the bad guy so I checked out of society.
She's right. There's a total lack of purpose. There's nothing I really care about anymore. It's like I'm just going through the motions of life. It's like I'm simply existing until I don't.
Same dude , I havnt dated in nearly 8 years , I have a couple of acquaintances I wouldn't call good friends and I simply prefer not to be around people. The only thing I care for and the only reason my life is anything worthwhile is my 2 kids that I work hard to have and keep a great relationship with. If they weren't around I most def would not be. I'm honestly just in the very long process of waiting to expire.
@@tulmar4548I don't have kids but I have a mother who's dependent on me. Sometimes I think that's the only reason I've stuck around. I think people misunderstand that as being suicidal but it's not. It's more being tired of existence.
Shoeonhead is an amazing youtuber. I really feel that she is a genuine person who actually cares about people.
She voices the attitudes of normies, you know, the people who's social media interactions begin and end with facebook, who work 9 to 5 jobs and have a life, you know those who touched grass as teens and never turned into hateful internet losers with a bizarre and twisted outlook on the world.

Shoe is oldschool left. Politically she leans left but of all the shit that is now considered politics, she picks it apart like anyone else should regardless of what policies they would support.
What a sad thing we are teaching young children... I am 33 and alone, and I guess I fall into the group of lonely guys. I know I want family and to have purpose. But so far I was unsuccessful in finding woman to have family with. It sounds kinda sad but all I have left is hope that I will manage to find someone soon. Which I don't believe is good at all. But what else can I do? To be clear at the moment I don't feel desperate, I just wish my journey was different.
As my ma tells me even though I'm a Christian and already know. This is what she tells me and blokes around my age who fall into this category which is me include. Buddy the best type of woman to find is a traditional woman or a Christian woman both these type of women are the most faithful you'll ever find and she isn't Christian so that should tell you something
Being an unemployed reclusive man with no income, this makes me feel a little bit better that i am not alone in my loneliness. The only thing worth living for for me is just to see everything get worse.
Have you ever tried psychedelics
You can either wallow in misery or come up with some goals and keep trying even if you fail sometimes. I been going through hard times unemployed and homeless for a bit, but things are finally looking up.
joe rogan is that you?@@WTFNoobProductions
I dont even remember typing this reply. Thanks for the encouraging and supportive replies. Yes, I abused marijuana for a long time as far as psychedelics, it's honestly at least 80% of the reason why I felt so low for so long. I craved it for a lot of years when I couldn't get it cheaply and easily, ever since I first tried it like 25 years ago, and had more than a few long stints of regular use over the years that fueled a lot of the fondest memories I have of my 20s. They always ended in relative disaster for me though. It was legalized in my state about 2 years ago, and I started using it daily after a few months of it being legal because it was what I wanted to do more than anything. I dont regret it, i needed to do it, but I dont look at marijauana the same way after having taken a short break and getting back into it about 2 months ago, feeling nothing but "high" as I noticed my heart was racing like I was in the middle of a marathon. Noticing my heart rate was elevated from marijuana wasnt new to me, but it was a moment of a reflexive physical "self-awareness" induced by paranoia. I came to realize over the last month+ that all marijuana probably did was mask a depression that was at times partly induced from the unwillingness to accept marijauana withdrawal as a real thing. Of course, your mileage may vary, but I used to think the withdrawal wasnt a thing for years because I was conditioned to not question the supremacy of the high and the mind altering "benefits."
Mj is still great in a sense, I always felt that it often made me see my self and my actions in a novel way when my tolerance wasn't through the roof, and it did at least somewhat. More than a few times it caused me to reevaluate how I approach my life and relationships in various ways, and that's why I was so drawn to using it so much. Now, I really question whether the self awareness I got out of it was genuine, or just that the high remedied a depression I couldnt control, and on top of that had the added effect of making all my ideas seem more valid and awesome because it prevented me from being overly critical of myself as I (and all of us) have been conditioned to do for years.
It wasn't good. I was a nasty person for a long time and felt justified because i was either high or going through withdrawals. I regret speaking my mind when I got angry, because it rarely did any good anyway, even if I was angry over something valid. Probably worked against me in some/most instances. Things are looking up for me though, I ended up getting a job I really wanted to try out after applying and interviewing again. I was passed over for it earlier in the year probably because I looked like a washed up hippy seeing as how I was high all the time I didn't see myself the way others saw me. Negative opinions of me aren't bulletproof, but they aren't invalid either; the marijuana made me disregard them completely because I just knew how great I was when I was high, even if other people didn't see it.
I am back to just being a sober "loser" like I was before marijuana decades ago, and its really not all that bad. I kind of abandoned the internet since it's so toxic. I don't feel like I am missing out anymore by not constantly being high and on the internet.
@@jayzers9677 thanks for taking the time to write all of that out, it means something to me believe it or not.
If I could offer one piece of advice, stop drinking. I dont handle alcohol well, so I am lucky to not have that as a dependency, but an old "friend" of mine has been struggling with that for years. He always said he "wanted a family," but when he got just that, and a wife that was finally mature and serious about a relationship, he ultimately couldnt give it up, and it even got worse from chasing an extravagant lifestyle rather than focusing on what was realistic when it came to having and nurturing a family. He stayed with me at night for quite a few months because his wife was livid with his inability to give up alcohol, and I tried to be supportive but he just refused to give it up. Probably still drinks. Last I heard he was in the process of getting his own place. He did some damage to MY life because of it. Lied about drinking to everyone. You've heard the story countless times, but when you see it in your own life, you see it more for what it is even if you want to be supportive.
I really feel that he loves (I hope now it's "loved" but it's unlikely) alcohol more than the family he said he always wanted. 4 kids, two his own, and he was passing out every night while watching the youngest, unable to be roused from sleep. Going through withdrawal seizures while pumping gas. Wasting thousand of dollars over a few months on bottle after bottle of probably cheap liquor. I understand feeling like drugs are necessary if you look at my previous post, and I am grateful the powerful substance I ended up abusing wasnt physically addictive (nicotine is still a struggle for me, it will probably kill me), but it took really feeling it was necessary to give it up to truly do so.
I dont want that to be all that I have to say to you, I am guessing you may be a little older than me if the numbers in your name are an indication of your birthday, but maybe the alcohol is more a source of your discontent than you realize. As far as being alone, I'm not really alone I guess, I have my brother even though I stopped hanging out with the few friends I had left. They were more a problem than I and culture at large would let me believe for years. We were all very negative for years regardless of our potential and whatever we did with our lives, and that informed how we viewed the world. That's probably confusing, but what I mean generally is it's tough to get out of the hole when the people who "support" you don't take what you have to say seriously because that's just their personality or they just think your a walking talking joke. A lot of people in my life just liked me because I was a jerk and said whatever was on my mind, especially when on drugs in a social situation, and thus never took anything I said seriously even when I was trying to be genuine. That affects how you feel about yourself even if you don't realize it, and it's no good for you OR them even if it makes them feel better that "well, at least I'm not as much of a mess as this guy," or "this guy needs a friend even though he is a mess, so I am going to be here for him because I'm so understanding and supportive." I genuinely hope things get better for you!
Your best video by far Isaac. ShoeOnHead is a breath of fresh air. I always have a laugh when someone says "men created the patriarchy" Patriarch is the term used for the male head of the family. Likewise with matriarch being female head of the family. To the men out there, don't let these braindead morons put you down. You are bigger then that
It's a determination of heads of families but more importantly it's still referenced to systems and governments. That's the literal definition. And yes, men created the patriarchy we see in *society* .
Nature created the norm and then society had common sense until a small group decided to create legalities which flipped nature on its head. What better way to control the masses than giving neurotic behavior full control of the ship.
Result: women now have to work (check). Men have to work and stay in jobs that make them miserable (check). Women can take (or threaten to) everything if men don’t do as they demand - so men have to start over working (check). Marriage is no longer a partnership - it’s slavery!

There is a massive difference between being lonely and being alone. People have this strange notion that people who are alone are lonely, when in reality being alone rids you of the constant pestering and nagging of people who want to try to save you because they believe you're in a depression spiral into oblivion created by simply being alone.
I hope you and June are able to collaborate in the future. I may not agree with her or you on everything, but that's okay. You're both reasonable and have alot of great values to teach the world.
As a short person (I am definitely short as I have been reminded of it on a regular basis by many other people), I have been tempted by leg extensions, and if i had the money and it was available when I was young and stupid I would have gone for it. Being short effects your dating life, employment prospects and causes ridicule on a regular basis. Leave off the poor short bastards who don't want to suffer and who are doing something about it.
Anybody who judges you based on an uncontrollable trait is an example of a person to avoid. Use it as a ruler to gauge people's depth, you will learn to dodge the puddles...
If someone judges you by height ditch them quick as fuck
I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I’m 6ft tall, my partner is 5ft 6. I don’t give a shit, he’s the best human I know, but it seems to really offend some people. X
Mate, I get you. The replies to the OP although trying to help are not reality, what OP said is true 100%. You can’t just magically change EVERYONES ingrained opinions of you based on height, it dm who or what you are judged by, YOU ARE ALWAYS JUDGED. OP knows this… telling him to not give a f doesn’t mean anything.. you think he hasn’t thought that already???? Fs man.
Ngl you definitely sound like a couple of my exs who were so insecure about themselves- specifically their height in comparison to me that they ended up negging the hell out of me till I left. Im 5'10 and the shortest I ever dated was 5'2 and why I left was never their height- it was how I was being treated. Many of them basically demanded I not wear heels and would pick at my looks in other ways and the topics I would bring up(I'm artsy and ADHD so I like loud colors and random information and they all knew this going into it- to sum me up well my one ex once told me "I have never met someone I have so much and so little in common."). The worst one of them I had initially really like as he also likes Ansel Adams(Photographer) but eventually talking to him got to a point that he was acusing me of trying to make him feel dumb/belittle him(which was 100% not what I was doing and a red flag to me) so I ended it- initially I didn't block him on social media but I did in the end because he started stalking me and trying to get me to get back with him telling me he was sorry over several months mixed with bouts of anger, negging and calling me a bitch. I guess I must do something right because I've lost count of the number of exes who broke up with me and the ones I've broken up with- who looked me up several times after we broke up trying to get back together. I believe in the once and done principle- if the relationship ends its over and I tell people this upfront.
Shitty people exist in all genders but you will never have a good relationship unless you are happy with yourself and know how to treat others well.
You nailed it when you said you'd give everything material away to keep your family unit. I'd give everything away just to get one. ShoeOnHead is awesome by the way.
I am a gay man and I also feel huge pressure not to be masculine, woman call out any natural behaviour as "toxic", and some fellow gays see masculinity as "internalized homophobia"...

Agreed. Both are good commentators
I was starting to feel this for some time and what I did was deactivate my facebook and twitter.
I don't experience this sort of hate irl. I think social media has skewed our view of the world because people express their deepest darkest thoughts online, but I really don't think most of them act on it in the real world.
I've found that most people are respectful and cool if you're respectful and cool.
Completely agree. SM has distorted our world views drastically. For those very reasons you mentioned. Algorithms encourage and promote “hot takes” on issues, wether people actually agree with them or not. Which like you pointed out, I don’t think most of the nasty things said online would ever be said in a face to face conversation. We are losing SO much when we aren’t communicating face to face. No body language, no tone, no cadence, none of those things that help us “read” a situation and/or person. Which I think leaves a lot of people to project their own feelings onto the things being said to them. Creating an absolute mess of unnecessary emotion. Leading to some to assume the world “hates” them of is out to get them. Distorting that world view.
Removing SM from my life has had nothing but a positive effect on me. Im starting to feel normal with how I view strangers. Assuming they are likely a pretty chill person. Which, 9/10, they are. People are generally kind and we all really want the same things. To be loved and have others to love.
a major contribution is how much everyone wants to shit on us.
I date girl, she abuses me, we split, everyone takes her side, when I make my point the only response is "man up". I'm left with less friends, less money, and more trauma.
Why exactly would I want to keep that cycle and constantly shrink my world.

I can honestly say I am the average man. I work trying to get by. I'm single, no friends really. Only time I leave my home is to work or go to the grocery store. Yeah I'm pretty much the average dude just trying to survive, I don't even bother talking to women most times out of the simple fact I do not want the police called on me for just speaking to someone. So Yeah I get angry at work, I get tired of dealing with others relatively quickly. And friendship to me at this point feels like a burden because the only people I socialize with are at my job and they always will want something in return. Generally speaking I'm alone and on my own most of the time.
Pretty much.
I realise this may be redundant. But you should reach out to people instead of waiting for them to reach out to you. Also join some type of sport club. I promise there are more people that feel like you than you think
I hear ya bro. Im in pretty much similar situation.
Realize this, if joining any form of club were financially within my reach I'd do so and I happen to have severe epilepsy. I am not a teenager either. Fact is a lot of things cost money and I cannot afford to waste money on clubs. I have to pay for my medication to keep breathing.@@catmerchant8699
"I don't bother talking to women...I don't want police called on me for just speaking to someone".
When the hell has that ever happened? Lol, this is why y'all are deservedly alone and lonely; you make up scenarios in your heads and hurt your own feelings. It's actually pathetic and embarrassing.
Have you seen her follow up on this topic? It’s insane how much hate she got. Completely insane how they responded.
There is a huge difference in “alone” and “lonely”. One can be very happy with it.
Not just a huge difference, an immense difference. When I'm alone I can still be happy and have a great time overall..... When I'm lonely I get depressed...... Funny how two terms that are largely associated with each other have polar opposite meanings.
She hit the nail on the head. Men have to look outside of real/their life to find inspiration. Thats why comic book heroes and celebrities speaking for them resonate so well.
I had a father, grandfather, and uncles who were massive inspirations on how men should be. It helps, but if someone grew up in a broken home without anything but female guidance, they end up messed up for the gritty world we live in.
Female guidance means no guidance most of the time.
@@krafterzdavid1757 not even that, it's more giving up in frustration when they don't understand the issues the child is having, bc they don't understand the perspective most men are feeling from.
And that's why the femnasties are trying to destroy every superhero and replace them with female versions.
I guess I'm lucky that my single mother is very manly. LOL. Jesus...
I guess it depends on the type of mother. My mom was a narcissistic alcoholic who drove my dad away and had a abusive relationship with my step dad who wasn't any different. Blaming and abusing me and my brothers for everything that fell apart from her actions. Telling me I had no value or worth and should have been aborted. I know others who were raised by single moms that actually made something of themselves with a trade skill or career and are mature responsible adults. My dad was hardly involved in my life and didn't teach me anything about being a male or life in general
One of the funniest RUclipsrs I've ever seen. Comedic timing and delivery on point almost every time. And Issac is good too 😁
Thanks for this video, Isaac. I teach my son that the culture wars have demonised men... and good men are going to have to lead us out of it.
Thank you for making this, Isaac. I got nervous when I saw the thumbnail cos normally you'll make fun of the creator but I'm glad to see you can agree with people also. Wholesome. You are a good influence on men
I work in hospitlaity and the number of parents I've seen just dump their kid in front of a screen for hours during their meal/wedding/function etc is shocking.
It's a distraction, not a babysitter.
I recently got put on some medication and one of the side effects was it killed my sex drive and I seemed to not care as much about being single.. and I've honestly never been happier, all the desire to have a partner did was make me miserable as I simply don't have the social skills to find a partner.
Yeah sh0es an international treasure, protect at all cost
I started watching Shoe on Head when I started watching this channel. Great content on both ends ❤️
22:09 "Welcome to being a Man, here's your complimentary isolation and yellow pillow" that cracked me up hahaha
I do feel for men nowadays. Women are only interested in a man who has lots of money, a car and a house. I know two who were like that, one has never settled down, I think she is more than likely too demanding, and the other is happily married. Two sisters related to me. Their father, ( my brother) was left out because he wasn't good enough, he didn't have his own business, he was in the navy then a firefighter until he retired at fifty, then died around three years later. Our family was not good enough and they never wanted anything to do with any of his side of the family. Sad, but I got over it, no one is better than us us, just because we are not rich.
I know it’s dumb but I’m guilty of the ai Batman thing. Something about hearing it from a character that’s so noble that I grew up with and was a massive part of my childhood makes me feel more like I’m not alone with this. I would like to say though, I’ve only done it a few times
It’s ok bro. Makes sense
Pathetic...now if you'll excuse me Joshua gram is going to tell me how to be a man
I mean, sht I listen to asmr were a woman tells me I'm doing alright/my best for the past 7 years to sleep
No judgement here, if it helps, it helps.
Batman is very proud of you
We seriously just need to take a step to fucking understand each other. No more generalizing, no more seperation, no more marginalization, no more hate for something someone can't control.
I'm not only cheering for you gentlemen, I pray for you.
Praying wont help.
We need infrastructure, ministers of "male condition", and the same systemic awareness that is so readily given to every women and BIPOC-LGBTQ2+SIAS(ABC) person.
My ministry of education is posting job openings for a field occupied by 70%+ female (education)... and continue to finish every job offer with the discriminatory statement of "please apply if you you (not a man or white, or at least be a white woman)"
Getting married young isn’t a bad thing. The maturity of the people involved is more important. My wife and I got engaged at 20, married at 21. Been married 6 years and have an adopted son. The way people go about dating is the bigger issue. I knew everything I needed to know on the first date. Having the same values and beliefs and the will to make things work outside the minor differences is all you need.
I envy those that were fortunate and mature enough to marry young. 27 year old man and I feel like I totally missed the boat...
I sickens me that she got so much hate for this incredible video.
I've learned to enjoy my time alone,no freinds is far better than being surrounded by toxic people. Most of my friends and family have died so you must accept things and adapt to it
I have been fortunate to have been able to find a friend group in college. It is depressing seeing so many of my peers struggle to even find friends, let alone romantic attachments, in their adult life.
Shoe is an absolute legend. Love her. This is an actual brave woman talking about real things with no bias or virtue signalling. Not the modern brave woman that can’t look at and understand both sides
Nobody cares

I watched this, and I felt so lucky that I've got an amazing circle of friends. If any of you guys out there are struggling with loneliness, please go out there and join some club or go out there and try out a hobby. Anything you can be interested in, you can find others who are.
Men are important in our society and in our lives!!!! If I didn’t have the amazing male role models in my life who encouraged me, looked out for me and helped me in difficult times, I don’t know where I’d be!!!!!! ❤ please don’t lose hope and do NOT let these psycho haters win!!!!!! ❤
@Isaac, thanks for reviewing her video, I enjoyed both her video & your review!
