Between women refusing to date a virgin and hearing that relationships don't last, he's losing hope. Why should he bother dating in the first place?| Paging Dr. NerdLove
As someone who's been active on the Internet since 1994 — before there was a World Wide Web, even — I've seen a lot of changes over time. Few, however, have been as significant as the way that online dating has changed. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. Spring Street Personals, shared across Salon and The Onion. Paying to send messages and buying 'roses' to send instead of likes, winks and pokes. I watched major dating sites become infested with zombie accounts and new ones popula...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
He wants to leave the incel community, but it's hard to let go. Don't they have a point? How can he learn to let those toxic beliefs go for good?| Paging Dr. NerdLove
Hey Doc, I need your help. I am an incel, but not the kind of incel that comes to mind when you hear or read the word. I am not a hateful incel. I'm simply an incel by the words definition, nothing more, nothing less. As for my major problem, it too is implied by the question, and that question is, 'how do I stop being an incel?'

Part of the way we start end the damage that toxic masculinity does and help heal some of the pain is to talk openly and honestly about some of the issues that come bundled in the toxic masculinity package. And one of the biggest issues is the topic of sex - especially how it affects men wh...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
He feels like being an older virgin is the worst thing he can be. Is he right? Or is there a bigger problem that he needs to address?| Paging Dr. NerdLove
Estimated reading time: 14 minutes Ello Doc I've seem to have a very toxic relationship with my own virginity especially my mid 20s. I hate it, I despise it and I distain and frankly honestly want to get rid of this burden that's crushing me like a ton of bricks. Let's be honest it's 2024 and well it's trendy, sex positive (thank you Bumble) and feminist shame, degrade and mock men for being virgins (and their penis size) and kinda understandably so because frankly lotta of male virgins (or i...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
Being a man, particularly a straight, cisgendered man, can be a perverse paradox at times. Society caters to us in almost every way imaginable. Even in 2021, as we strive towards greater social and sexual equity for people of different genders and sexualities, straight cis men are very much at the top of the social heap. And yet, men are lonelier and more isolated than ever, feeling not just lost but ignored or cast aside. It seems laughable; society caters to straight men to an absurd deg...| Paging Dr. NerdLove
