Portrait of an Echo Male

The brutal truth is that most of them will likely choose self-deletion. This one chose suicide by police.

Suicide is very much the case in Japan where the phenomenon of the Echo Male has a different name, the Hikikomori.

Why do men go to the gym? Why do we go to college? Why do we get advanced degrees? Why do we compete publicly with other men? Why do we work 90 hours a week? Study fashion? Buy the flashy car? Do anything to raise ourselves above other men, when it comes right down to it?

It’s for women. That’s the truth of it. When we do anything to raise our status there is only one reason we are really doing it.

The key difference between the Delta and Echo males is simple.

The Delta still has hope of getting a woman.

The Echo has given up all hope of that completely.
