CMV: Men would get more ahead if they simply stopped caring about what women want.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a college student who is 21 years old, so my wisdom is definitely going to be limited. However, when looking around at my peers, and even people who are decades older than me, I begin to see a troubling trend.

 I have so many friends who worry to death about the clothes that they wear, the way they style their hair, getting their money right, getting fit, not for themselves, but to impress chicks. So many situations would never happen if they just stopped worrying about these girls. I know a dude who chose a major SIMPLY to be around more women. A guy who refuses to follow dudes on IG(because he wants to see naked chicks). A guy who spends hundreds of dollars on clothes every week to take selfies and put them on IG for the satisfaction of having girls like his pictures. I met a guy who invited a girl to dinner knowing he had no money, bought her dinner, and over-drafted his account (AMEN for poor people fees) in the process, just for her to never call him again. I even once met a guy who sold weed to women at a discount, literally sacrificing money for what? I don't want to be preachy so I never tell them how asinine they sound.

Then when they don't get the desired responses, they end up frustrated. Their lack of power eats at them until they lash out. All these men's rights circles wouldn't have a need if men just stopped giving a shit. If you're a girl, you wouldn't have to worry about being human trafficked, raped, or assaulted if men simply stopped living their lives to impress you. If you're a man, you could literally WALK into success if you just stopped being a tryhard.

The thing is, the people you are talking about generally _don't_ care about what women want. They care _so little_ about what women want that they never even bothered to figure out what women want. Their problem actually has nothing to do with what women want: their problem is that they are acting in bad faith by externalizing their own free decisions onto some imagined platonic ideal of a woman. That's a problem regardless of how accurately their idealized woman matches the real thing.
