Yes, if they never married, they’d remain fresh and youthful forever. That’s exactly how it works.
It’s particular annoying that this overgrown mamma’s boy takes the noble name of “redpill” in vain.

Nah, “red pill” was an incel thing long before conservatives started using it for other purposes…

Yeah that post was focusing on the woman at his side, not the celebrity.
Marriage is a life extender for men OR men who tend to live longer are usually married, as a rule. Chicken or egg? There’s some interesting observations with red pillers but I’m convinced it’s a logical extension of the psy-ops that straight men want to be married less than women and women chase them down. “No, you don’t want to be married, you want to be single forever (and stop competing with other men for women, or noticing you’re not functional or financially stable enough to be married even if you wanted to)!” *wink*
Here’s to bringing back fairy tales!

Exactly, it’s a cope for men who have no idea how to find a mate. The actual winning strategy for a man is to relax and let the mate find him. But they don’t know it and scare away potential mates by endless flailing around.

Well, it also helps if they have gainful employment, reasonable hygeine, and don’t actively hate women.

Yes, that would be good. They would be so much happier as a result.

LOL, your assessment is the most accurate, or perhaps the most truthful. I would also add that a little dangerous, or at least the reputation thereof, definitely doesn’t hurt ;-D
And extremely few men hate women, but there is no doubt that distrust between the sexes has increased in the past three generations.

“don’t actively hate women.”
Don’t believe the hype. An overwhelming majority of men would gladly give up their ‘he man woman haters’ persona if they had a chance.
Women are the pickier sex — most men have pretty minimal standards (but those standards are pretty actively looked down upon in the culture at present).
What was the last movie/romance novel where a woman realizes the unassuming dorky guy with a mid-level managerial position could offer her much more than the jet-setting cad (whom she could fix if she just had the chance)?
The really vile misogynistic stuff doesn’t come from the men women don’t want but from the ones they actively pursue.
(nb talking in very general terms, realizing there is a healthy-sized minority that the above doesn’t apply to).

I’m pretty mystified by the whole thing. I’m a huge dork. I am married to a huge dork. We are happily raising dork children. Not being a hot dudebro has nothing to do with your value in the marriage market, and may actually be a net positive in terms of having a stable, happy relationship.
IRL there are two unsuccessful-at-relationships paths I see repeated among the men:
–Life is going nowhere, have no goals, can’t get a woman at all. Because any sane woman looks at them and thinks: Cute, nice guy, and… I don’t want to end up with this person as a financial dependent.
–Life ruined by terrible women they met while doing drugs. Because that’s the kind of women you meet when you are doing drugs.
That’s pretty much it. I assume that out there in the broader world there are more complex situations, but… the ones I actually see have very simple solutions that nobody wants to hear about. So I tend to assume that the people eloquently complaining about the injustice of the dating market are… probably not being totally honest.

LOL, my Mom taught her boys the proper way to formally invite, and taught my sister how to properly accept or decline. So one at least sort of knew what to expect, but that still took a lot of jam until you got used to it ;-D

Ageed, I am also not convinced that there is all that much hatred i.e., misogyny/misandry, but perhaps rather a lack of trust on the part of both sexes. And more than just the current unreasonable expectations on either sex; many (most?) today have observed the result of divorce, few were settled amiably, and the negative impacts often continue for generations. No-fault divorce may well be the worst impact of the sexual revolution.
