I actually don't think there's any "crash", they're just being sold a false idea of masculinity from the jump. They're unhappy because they're told (and shown through cultural male representation) that healthy men are satyric and dominant and are encouraged to seek sexual satisfaction over seeking emotional satisfaction, and then get frustrated when the object of their sexual desire rejects them in favor of emotional satisfaction over the sexual.

I think Joe Rogan fits into that genre because he very much views masculinity through a naturalistic lense, even if he isn't advocating for toxic male behavior as explicitly as Tate or fresh and fit.

Getting attention from women shouldn't be the goal at all, it should be forming satisfying emotional connections, and that is something men are simply not taught.
