Dating isnāt working because the men lack intention and effort. I could easily be in a relationship but Iām not willing to settle for a mediocre man who has nothing to offer besides whatās between his legs. Please I have one of those and itās neon pink with 15 settings. Consistent, reliable, and I still can have my peace. I am open to dating but my standards and expectations are nonnegotiable.
For women: contribute more to a relationship than your body. A relationship thrives on different roles supporting in different ways yet still an equal level of effort. As a man who has been the person paying all the bills, cooking, cleaning, getting groceries and other domestic tasks like laundry while my girlfriend at the time was unemployed and not job searching it completely changed the way I looked at her
nah. thatās not āyour standards getting higherā, thatās you internalizing a worldview that dehumanizes the very person you were not too long ago. choosing to perpetuate the problem once things got easier on you, rather than hanging on to what you should have learned from the position you were in before
your enduring beef with one ex (hopefully you arenāt ranting like this about someone youāre choosing to still be with!!) in particular isnāt something that needs to be converted into generalized advice for all women lmao you know what itās called when you take your frustration towards one woman and project it bitterly onto women In General? misogyny.
