"Women, more than men, tend to feel stultified by long-term exclusivity—despite having been taught that they were designed for it" - Basically it's the "ICK"

Yep. I was in a 15year relationship and felt trapped. But then again, I always felt trapped in relationships, that’s why I’ve had so few. I realize now it’s bc the men stifled me, were ungrateful and made me do everything. I was just so tired. So now I’m not accepting that and feel encouraged about dating again.

Yep, women get bored with the LVMs porn habit, whining about sex, emotional stupidity, unwillingness to care for home a nd kids, etc etc.

Actually, not bored. Just downright repulsed. But because "relayionships are work!" And "marriage is a commitment!", we delude ourselves into thinking there is something wrong with US for not desiring our pile of shit male partners.

It's just not worth it.

Men are pretty much boring, selfish, and lazy after those first few months when they were actually trying to impress you.

Men regress into children when in a long term relationship and that is not sexy to me. A woman might get fat in a relationship but at least they don’t tear their toenails off in the bed or have shit stained underwear or let their pee go all over the floor and need a chore chart in order to get them to help around the house.

In all of my previous relationships, I lost interest in sex and/or could no longer have sex bc of pain, which was really just my body’s way of reacting to emotional distance, feeling unsafe or unloved, and other issues in the relationship. The men I dated either started treating me poorly, or stopped taking care of themselves/the house/our relationship. Why would I feel desire for someone who so obviously didn’t care about my desire?

In my current relationship (no cohabitation, defined boundaries on time), I find that the sex has remained stable (exciting, pleasurable) long after it started to be a problem in previous relationships. This is because I’m not thrust into a caregiving role (we both have independence and both support each other emotionally), I still trust him, he still treats me well and is making an effort to please and impress me, and our emotional connection is still active and in depth. I can’t imagine living with a partner again; I love living alone and I am not capable of doing someone else’s chores in addition to my own.

And yet we still don't cheat as much as they do. 🤔

Plus women are groomed into dating older men and as soon as the lust spell wears off these young women realize they're laying next to a saggy, grey, no-energy, receding hairlined senior.

I'm 37 and my longest 'relationship' was 4 months. I haven't dated for 2yrs now. I usually go long periods between dating and don't realize until someone asks me directly if I'm dating or when last I dated. I don't miss it.

I'm well aware that I get bored of men as soon as I get to know them. The ones that lasted 4 months consisted mostly of me convincing and talking myself into it.

I am straight. There's nothing I can do about that. But the older I get, the disillusionment I've always had about men, just get more entrenched the more experience I have with contact with them.
