Honestly, it's a breath of fresh when manga and maybe Japanese society place on too high a pedestal being a too formal simp, as if that was any useful in the real world.
I was pretty impressed by the structure of this first chapter, greatly showcasing the protag's issue, how he even let himself be used in a platonic relationship (which he saw, as is custom for virgin simps that lose their shit when a woman vaguely talks to them, couldn't but saw too as a means to an end).
We'll see if it will bring back to mind the early days of Pick Artists discourse and Red Pill rhetoric, before it went too far, too delusional and too cringe with gross generalizations.
I remember when I was younger that learning about the concepts of kino (touch, to create rapport) and gradually showing interest blew my mind when it was basic and obvious in hindsight. Like yes, you're never going to closer if you're never taking small steps at a time to close the physical distance, and see if the response is positive or if you figuratively and literally should back off.
And it made me abandon confessions out of nowhere. We've been brainwashed by romcoms, it's not romantic, it's usually confusing and awkward. You can't just throw your feelings you might have built up all on your own about a girl you don't really know, right at her feet out of nowhere and expect her to know what to do with that shit. You gotta give her multiple opportunities to see what's going on and the time to wonder if she likes your interest in her.
And looking out at the situation in the bar that impressed him so much, I think the explanation is simply the cliché that confidence was key. Instead of doing like the simp and assuming that those women were too good for him and unavailable just because they're pretty, blud just went to them and actually talked to them, made the interaction pleasant for the whole group before even focusing on the one girl.
The simp is too in his own world and not engaging in reality. It's wild that he convinced himself what he had with the gold digger even looked like a relationship worth taking to marriage.

Ngl this ch was pretty hard to read
I hate simps, this mf was PATHETIC, and he had the audacity to try and lecture this guy talking about "isn't that cruel?" While speaking about a woman literally cheating on her bf, just like his ex did with him
Time to swallow that red pill lil bro

lol maybe bc i've always been broke or never lived anywhere 'fancy' but i'd rather meet and go to a local place that doesn't require 'reservations', it'd be one thing if you were already dating /special occasion like an anniversary but otherwise they can just go to like, the JP equivalent of something nicer than fast food but not as fancy as michelin star restaurants like applebees/chilis or so lol
hm interesting...does anyone know what the word originally was in JP that Alonescan translated to 'simp' or does this mangaka somehow know that term too
dang you'd think 300k for a bag would be a red flag. even if i was willing to pay that for myself, i'd be worried about losing/damaging it (unless it's fucking bullet proof i'm not paying more than 2 digits for dresses/accessories/stuff like that)
i've never been a heavy sleeper but i wonder how many others have bypassed their partners finger locks like that
i mean even tho there's tech a story a lot of this team's work is basically porn with plot lol
at least the 'engineering' seems to be based on technique(?) and that bearded guy isn't like somehow hypnotizing or using some kinda drug pheromones on them
