Yes, we're finally on the same page. I don't disagree with your advice. In fact I'd point any individual AFC to your posts as treasure tropes of golden nuggets to learn from. As well as pointing any guy I ever speak to about women to visit girlschase website and devour it.Seems like you are expressing an emotional point (AFCs should get sympathy) while other guys are mostly making practical points (AFCs should improve themselves), as other guys have already pointed out.
*-Not just emotional, but also sociological. You're approaching it from the individual-level, I'm approaching it from the sociological level. But yes. What we know from societal systems is that they collapse if they get too one-sided. There has to be a balance of empathies. If we stray too much in the "who gives a crap about AFCs as a group", this is actually quite dangerous, sociologically speaking. You can only take lack of empathy for an entire group so far before shit hits the fan.
Edit, Small Addendum, Clarification
"while other guys are mostly making practical points (AFCs should improve themselves), as other guys have already pointed out."
It's only practical on the individual level. Yes, you can tell a guy to just improve himself, and he's no longer an AFC.
The issue is that this is not practical on a societal level. You can't say the solution is that AFCs (as a group) become above average, because that then becomes the new average. It only works on the individual level. If everyone did this, then it wouldn't work.
1) There will always be AFCs (average guys)
2) Women will always keep average guys out of certain hidden benefits
3) Going too far in the "who cares about AFCs" route can end up in serious issues, societally. There has to be balance.
"We shouldn't care about making things more understanding to average guys, because they can become above-average" - doesn't make sense mathematically on the group-level. There will always be average guys. So the issue will always remain.

Those articles are pure works of sociological brilliance. I already read the first before and was quite impressed, and just read the second now.
