Telling men they don’t have to be masculine but then proceeding to date only masculine men.

Telling men they should be vulnerable and open up about their insecurities to their partners but then not being able to handle it.

Telling men they can be fluid in their gender expression, wear dresses and paint their nails like Harry Styles, while never actually dating anyone who dresses like that.

Telling men they prefer dad bods but then choosing fit guys over those with dad bods.

You get the idea.

Men are mating strategists. If you actually want to change them, you as women have the power to do so by rewarding the men who follow your “ideal” with romantic interest. And men will follow.

But don’t expect change if you are being dishonest and hypocritical.
