In my view, there was a period around 2006 where "pick up artists" were sort of becoming a thing, and by about 2008 every piece of establishment media smashed that idea down as bad and evil and skeezy. It was shortly after that when "incels" started to really start to pick up.
I know the pick-up artists aren't the most popular folks around, but their whole core conceit is that you can be a better man, you can change yourself to become more attractive, you can carry yourself different, and you can speak different, and you can think about the world different and eventually you'll be the sort of man who can attract the sort of woman you want to be with long-term. For most men, that's when their pick-up artist story ends, because you don't need it anymore. That even happened to the author of the infamous book "The Game".
If you crush that idea, then what's left? Well, if it isn't just a skill set, if you can't become better then it's just fate for you to be worse. You're not alone because you're not doing the right things, you're alone because God created you in the image of inferiority and your inherent inferiority is a cross for you to bear alone until death, then of course those people are going to be bitter and resentful towards the chads who were granted the gift of superiority by God, and the Stacies who were granted the gift of discernment between the inferior and the superior by God.
There's a pathology, but it isn't necessarily in disaffected young men. It's a societal pathology where they've told a group of people they're worthless and that it's morally evil to try to become less worthless, and anyone who tries to help you become less worthless is morally evil themselves.
Then we have all these women who would be perfectly happy with these men who are often just missing one or two ideas towards becoming really good men, and they can't find any men at all because we've ground the men down into paste so they won't even try a little anymore. So now you have unhappy lonely men and unhappy lonely women and somehow this is supposed to be a good thing.
A lot of people talk about dating websites and how 1% of the men get 90% of the female attention. This is often mentioned as a talking point about how terrible dating sites are for the 99% of men, but really it should be about how it's terrible for everyone. That top 1% of men with unlimited choice aren't as happy as you'd think, the 90% of women chasing the 1% of men who get unlimited choice aren't happy, and of course the 99% of men who don't get any attention aren't happy.
tl;dr: The world would be better off if we stopped telling men they can't and shouldn't try being better than they are. It's false, it leads to harmful outcomes, it isn't better for women, it isn't even good for the gigachads.
