A sad, but vitally important commentary: "Women punish men who adore them"

It's very easy to overlook this mini video essay on the topic of "Women punish men who adore them," because the message is not new. It contains no surprises or revelations. Nevertheless it's worthwhile to consider the profound sadness of it. The man's even-tempered delivery does not hint at the tragedy. Quote: I only wish women could understand just how badly women punish us for loving them. ... A whole generation of men have noticed that we are only treated well by women we are entirely indifferent towards. How many men are walking around full of regret for that time we were entirely too considerate to that woman we really liked? This is how fcsked up the game has gotten, for real. ... Women at least in our age group have fallen into a state of complete spiritual imbalance. If only women sincerely understood just how bad they fcsked up the game to have men walking around regretting, not the times we were horrible to a woman, but the times we were the sweetest, the most considerate, the most romantic, the times we really though of someone before we though of ourselves. And the only thing we can do is adapt. .... Women punish men who adore them. They don't take it as flattering.
