49 men so entitled, it kind of explains the male loneliness epidemic

49 Men So Entitled, It Kind Of Explains The “Male Loneliness Epidemic”

45% of women will be single by 2030. They are, measurably, happier for it. Somewhere between the audacious messages and the feminism inducing behaviour, the data has spoken, and it is not flattering. Read the full article to see 68 of the most infuriatingly entitled men the internet has ever had the displeasure of documenting.

Nobody invented feminism for fun. It did not emerge from a vacuum, or a bad mood, or a coordinated campaign to ruin anyone's evening. It emerged because at some point, enough women had enough experiences with enough men who were so catastrophically, breathtakingly, almost impressively entitled that a whole movement became the only reasonable response.

These men are the living legacy of that tradition. They did not set out to be case studies. They simply woke up, moved through the world with the unearned confidence of someone who has never once been told to lower their voice, and the internet was watching. It always is now. Buckle up.

#1 My Husband Never Wished Me A Happy Birthday

My husband and I have been married for almost 4 months; to say it’s been a rocky road is an understatement. We are currently not living in the same house because of some of his behaviour.

Today is my birthday, and I got my usual texts from my friends on the other side of the country. No good morning text or anything from my husband, so I assumed he was still sleeping. An hour later, I go outside to run to the store, only to see my husband has been by and swapped out the cars. No text, no call. I just thought, okay, whatever. The plan was for us to spend time together after work, have a couple of beers, and enjoy the evening, so I thought maybe he was waiting until then.

He calls a few hours later, no happy birthday, nothing. Just straight to complaining about how bad his morning was going. I was getting ready for work, straightening my hair, and he accused me of muting the phone and said that if I didn’t want to listen to him, I should just say that, and he hung up on me.

Then the rude messages came in and continued to come in. He said many hurtful things, which have been an ongoing issue for the past couple of months, so I told him I wasn’t responding further. His rude messages continued.

I decided that this is the best birthday gift he could have given me - clarity. If my own husband can treat me this badly on my birthday of all days, this isn’t the marriage, relationship or man for me. I have a consultation with a lawyer tomorrow to find out what my options are for divorce or annulment.

#3 So Proud Of Him Coming Out

Morgan Stanley's Rise of the SHEconomy report projects that by 2030, 45% of U.S. women between the ages of 25 and 44 will be single. Which sounds alarming until you read the accompanying research from the University of Toronto, which found that single women report significantly higher life satisfaction than single men.

Significantly. Higher. The women are leaving and they are, by every measurable metric, doing better. This is not a coincidence. This is data. The men in this list are the footnotes that explain it.

#6 This Guy Has No Job, Doesn’t Help Around The House, Had Just Come Home From Drinking With Friends And Camping Out All Weekend

He is NOT entitled to a cooked meal. He doesn’t deserve to have ANYTHING handed to him. This has me at a whole other level of annoyed. Instant removal from my friends list.

A global Pew Research survey found that nearly half of young adults now view being single as more peaceful than being in a relationship, and one third are actively avoiding dating altogether to protect their mental health. So one in three is opting out entirely.

Making a considered, informed decision that the current offering is simply not worth the cost of entry. This is what happens when a generation of people grows up, does the maths, and decides that the single life is not a consolation prize. It is, increasingly, the plan.

#8 Entitled Man On My 3-Hour Train Ride

Just got off a 3-hour train ride.

A guy spent most of it taking up the whole table with his stuff, rolling cigarettes on it, and generally acting as if nobody else existed.

At one point, another passenger wanted to sit next to him. The guy didn’t even look up from his phone, just made a hand gesture basically telling him to go away, and shrugged.

Later, when that passenger was getting off, he accidentally brushed against the guy’s shoe. The guy then put his feet on the table and started cleaning his shoes with disinfectant wipes.

At that point, I couldn’t even be annoyed anymore; I just started laughing.

The only thing on that table that is mine is the power bank…

Multiple people tried talking to him, me included. He ignored everyone and just waved them off without even looking up from his phone. He did the same thing to the train staff. They gave up pretty quickly, probably because it just wasn’t worth the fight.

A University of Essex study tracking actual physiological responses found that 74% of straight-identified women are genuinely aroused by both genders, leading researchers to conclude that female attraction is deeply complex, nuanced, and multidimensional, while male attraction is, in their exact words, comparatively simple.

The study effectively proved, with university funding and peer review, the joke that has been circulating for years: straight women must truly, deeply love men, because nothing else explains the continued willingness to deal with this. Science has spoken. The grant money was well spent.

#11 Man, Children Waiting In Line For Cards At Target Acting Rude To Employees

I saw a group of guys being pretty disrespectful toward employees, trying to tell them how to do their job and demanding specific cards.

I’m a collector too, but some of the behavior in the hobby lately has been pretty embarrassing. Dude was telling staff he’s got 30 guys waiting in the parking lot to fight over these cards.

It’s sad and embarrassing to see the hobby turn into situations like that.

Honestly pretty funny seeing it in person.

Another study found that 54% of women on dating apps feel completely overwhelmed by the volume of messages they receive. In the same study, 61% of men report feeling insecure because they don't receive enough. These two statistics live in the same ecosystem and have never once met each other.

The entitled twist arrives when the man who sends one message every three weeks operates under the sincere impression that his arrival in a woman's inbox is a meaningful event she should be grateful for. Statistically speaking, she has received 47 other messages since breakfast and has not had a peaceful Thursday since she downloaded the app.

There is a strong argument, and we are making it now, that dating an insufferable man should qualify as a tax write-off. Perhaps an entire charitable giving category. Because the volume of unpaid emotional labour, unsolicited therapy, and patient, careful, completely uncompensated personal development work that women provide to these men is staggering, and it is not recognised anywhere on a tax return.

Surveys show that up to 55% of young women consider a partner's refusal to engage with therapy a hard dealbreaker, and between 20% and 34% actively seek out partners who are already in therapy. Not because they want someone broken. Because they want someone who has done the work, so they don't have to do it for them. The bar is therapy. The bar is still somehow controversial.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is the psychological phenomenon in which people with limited competence dramatically overestimate their own abilities, operating with the serene, untroubled confidence of someone who has never once received useful feedback. It was identified by researchers and it has been studied extensively in academic literature.

And it has found its fullest, most natural expression in the dating app inbox, where men who are objectively, demonstrably unprepared for a functional relationship send opening messages with the energy of someone who believes they are doing the recipient a favour. Completely unequipped. Entirely confident. The Dunning-Kruger effect, in a profile picture, with a fish.

Here is the statistic that should be printed on a billboard outside every couples therapist in the country. When a wife is the primary breadwinner, she still spends roughly 3.5 more hours per week on caregiving and household chores than he does. He, meanwhile, receives an extra 3.5 hours of leisure and sleep. Every week.

When men are out-earned by their partners, they experience a subconscious threat to their sense of traditional masculinity and respond by doing less around the house to compensate. The woman, in turn, picks up the slack to keep the peace. We are calling this the Fragile Male Ego Surcharge. It is the mathematical definition of entitlement. It has been peer reviewed. It is, unfortunately, very real.

#23 I Hate Men

Just as the title says. I hate them. I go to work and get flirted with. I say I have a boyfriend; they don’t stop. They actually reach out to me via social media and flirt with me there as well. This guy transferred to another store but is now transferring back. I’m nervous about it even though I’ve told all of my managers and they are all very protective and supportive (thank the lord). We have a new hire who was a regular at first. He is now in the grocery (I am on the front end), but he keeps being super overly nice to me, following me around like a lost puppy, winking at me, and making comments about “making my hair blue bc he likes it”. I just hate men so bad.

Dinner tonight is chicken nuggets with an oatmeal cream pie and a monster.

The men in this list did not appear from nowhere. They were produced by a culture that told them, in a thousand quiet ways, that their comfort was the default, their needs were the priority, and that the women around them existed largely to facilitate both. Some of them will read this and feel seen in the wrong direction. Some will not read it at all because they skipped to the photos.

But somewhere in the middle of the data, there is a very clear message. The era of the free pass is, quietly and measurably, ending. The women have done the maths. They have compared notes. And they have decided, in growing numbers and with growing confidence, that they would simply rather not. The men in this list are the reason why. They did that entirely by themselves, and we should at least acknowledge the effort.

What is the biggest moment of audacity you have ever experienced from a man? Share the trauma in the comments!

#28 Dude DMs Me, A Stranger, To Ask Questions About Moving To My City; No Problem, I Do It Pretty Often

Except he has done 0 research, and he's now entitled to an answer, like right now.

I saw his dm while I was on my way for a weekend trip, so I gave him a first reply and then didn't really look at social media until the weekend was over...

Maybe I should have just ignored him, but I felt like I was joking to give him a chance to apologise and move on.
