Reddit reviews Why Men Are the Way They Are

I've been thinking about this lately, and something that could help is /r/mensrights should have a stickied AutoModerator comment for posts that hit /r/all, like many other subs do. Several subreddits have AutoMod post a sticky on every thread that reaches /r/all explaining what the subreddit is about. For example here is the /r/esist sub (not trying to start a debate on Trump, just using an example of what I'm talking about). I think this would be very helpful for us, especially since we often reach /r/all with posts that aren't the best quality. I think something along the lines of:

Hello, and welcome to /r/MensRights! This is a subreddit for discussions of men's issues and promoting gender equality.

This subreddit represents only a small part of the men's rights movement. For further information about the men's rights movement, The Red Pill (no relation to the subreddit) is a recent documentary made by a feminist as she learns about MRAs and men's issues. For more information about the issues that MRAs are concerned about, see the reference book of men's issues in our sidebar. There are also many videos on youtube, such as this speech by men's rights leader Warren Farrell, discussing men's issues.

Further reading about men's issues:

• The Hazards of Being Male – Surviving the Myth of Masculine Privilege (1976) – Herb Goldberg
  
  
• The Myth of Male Power (1993) – Warren Farrell
  
  
• The War Against Boys (2001) – Christina Hoff Sommers
  
  
• Why Men Are The Way They Are (1988) - Warren Farrell
  
  
• For a review of the history of the men's movement: Uneasy Males: The American Men's Movement 1970-2000 - (2005) Edward Gambill
  
  For activism supporting men's equality, consider joining MHRA Connect or getting involved with men's rights groups such as the National Coalition For Men or the Canadian Association For Equality

  That's just a rough idea of what I'm thinking, the actual language can be changed, whatever works, but the basic idea is to give people more information about our movement in a stickied comment at the top of every /r/all thread. We can also add in any ongoing fundraisers or activism we have going on, since those are rarely seen by anybody except daily users of the sub. The important thing to remember is: Tens of thousands of people see an /r/all post, and the vast majority of them ARE NOT MRAs. They know nothing about our movement or about men's issues, and for many people that /r/all post is their first ever experience with the Men's Rights Movement.
  
  /u/othermod /u/AloysiusC /u/mensmod what do you think, can we make this happen? This way at least when a shitpost about manspreading makes it to /r/all, we can use it to promote awareness of actual men's issues to thousands of people who have no other contact with MRAs.
  

Does California have some sort of a crazy low male-to-female population I've never heard about? "Nice guys" under age 30 normally have a rough time finding female companionship last I checked. You might also consider Alaska if you're seeking a higher male-to-female ratio.

Overall, I tend to think that a woman in her twenties without any kids and of reasonable looks and weight shouldn't have too much difficulty finding a decent male if she's actively looking regardless of where she lives. I recommend reading these two books if you're really having trouble:

Why Men Are the Way They Are - explore the details of male psychology and male/female dynamics, providing valuable and useful knowledge helpful in the search for a mate. Find out why women often have so much difficulty finding a man.

Guerrilla Dating Tactics: Strategies, Tips, and Secrets for Finding Romance - I read this like 25 years ago when I was on the market and remember it's being fun and possibly useful.

Coming to North Dakota for economic reasons makes sense in some circumstances, but I don't think I'd make the move primarily for the purposes of finding a mate. In fact, that's really the only reason to come here - economic reasons. It's a cold, flat and boring state and would probably be a gigantic shock if all you've ever known is California. It might be described as "journey into Ice Hell" in those regards. Long term you might be happier in a place like Colorado or the Pacific Northwest. For North Dakota, you should look at Fargo, Bismarck, and maybe Grand Forks. Also, consider investigating Billings, Montana, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Omaha, Nebraska. Have you also considered Minneapolis? That's a very nice city.

Fargo does have a good job market, but a great many of those jobs are low-skilled, low-paying (sub-$15/hour) retail service jobs. We also have a couple call centers here (not sure if they're sub-$15 or what). The competition for jobs requiring a college degree in non-STEM fields should be relatively fierce since the Fargo-Moorhead area is a college town with three colleges pumping out job hungry graduates. If you normally have difficulty finding a better than fast food job then North Dakota might make some sense; it might not be too hard to get a job at one of those call centers and from what I've heard they pay better than fast food.

Wherever you move to, you should definitely investigate heavily over the Internet and come visit in person for a couple days before making a commitment. If you don't have any kids or student loans or other debt obligations then you might be in a great position to pick a place where you'd really like to live that also has a combination of a reasonable job market and cost of living. If you do have debt obligations then economic factors become much more pressing in which case North Dakota might start to make some sense.

Why Men Are the Way They Are was published way back when I was in college - 1988. It would be interesting to see if your generation has overcome any of the issues brought up in the book.

same thoughts here. I went through that journey. Now I have kids, and am single. Read the book, "Why Men Are The Way They Are" by Warren Farrell, it just might save your life!

This is potentially huge. It's one of the topics covered well in the book Why Men Are the Way They Are by Warren Farrell. While somewhat dated, this is an excellent book in many regards. I strongly suggest you read it.
