I've [F31] been seeing a guy [M37] for the past 5 or 6 months now and we have recently become official. Our relationship is wonderful and it is refreshing to be treated with genuine kindness and love compared to my previous relationships. I took my bf's virginity and while things were awkward at first, he has picked up on things very quickly and there are no issues in that department now. My bf has lamented to me occasionally about his struggles with meeting women in the past and I can tell that he is sad about not being able to experience sex and relationships when he was younger. Well being the adventurous woman that I am (lol) I threw out the idea of him finding another woman or two for a bit of fun so that he can explore his sexuality. Our relationship is secure and I'm not worried about him running off with someone else in the least, but I would like for him to experience sex with other women to gain a bit more confidence in himself. He was hesitant to agree at first, but after much encouragement from me he decided to go for it.
So we set him up a Tinder and Bumble profile and took some good pictures of him to use. I wrote his profile bio and we started swiping together. It's been about 3 weeks now and he's had a handful of matches across both apps, but none that have replied to messages. I can tell he is starting to get a bit frustrated, and honestly it is frustrating for me too. He is a kind, gentle soul, in great shape since he goes to the gym often, has dark red hair and a clean cut type of demeanor. While I was not initially physically attracted to him at first that attraction blossomed quickly after I got to know him better. We have also tried picking up women together at bars and clubs in town but they seem uninterested in him after meeting. He has told me that this has been a common experience for him and that he is lucky that I gave him a chance.
So I'm not sure what we can do differently to improve his chances? I'm at a loss here. Has anyone else experienced this? To be honest, this has started to take a toll on me as well and I'm realizing that I'm not as eager to have sex with him lately and my attraction to him is lessening. I hate to even write that and I'm not sure where that is coming from since he is doing nothing wrong. I guess I'm starting to second guess my own attraction to him ever since I've seen how other women treat him. Anyone have any suggestions?
Edit: Writing this post out has had the unintended effect of allowing me to process out more of my thoughts and feelings. I've taken time for some introspection and will be having a discussion with my bf about continuing the relationship or not. My friends have told me that I can do better, but I have shut them down every time because of such a wonderful man my bf is. But after giving it some thought and seeing with my own eyes how other women treat my bf, maybe I am settling for someone who treats me well when I'm not actually attracted to him. I am a well adjusted, cute, successful woman and I deserve to find happiness with someone who both treats me like a decent human being and also who I'm fully physically and sexually attracted to. Thank you all for your input!

This post has been removed because:
Rule 1: Submissions must be about men's rights issues. These should fall into one of these categories.
Discrimination against men
Issues that disproportionately affect men
Problems that prevent men's issue being addressed
Posts about other issues that have some relationship with men's rights should make it clear what that relationship is. These should be self-posts that explain the connection to men's rights.

Oh god just shoot me now, she does not seem like someone fun to hang out with. Why would you even try and make a guy go through the hassle of getting women all over again? What the hell is going on with her? Why is she in a relationship if she's doing this?
I have so many questions.

Woman now treat men like black jack hands. They’re not humans on the other side of the relationship. Who cares. Just see how the next hand goes.

Fam it’s literally over.
Letting woman out of the kitchen has basically ended the USA as a world power.
It sounds absurd to say out loud but is undoubtedly true.

No, I think this is a very specific group of women who can't shut up and over share on social media constantly. The problem is there are too many women out there and just people in general who are keeping quiet for the sake of being non-confrontational rather than just telling them to fuck off. The argument can very easily be made that these sorts of women are ruining the dating scene for women as well as men.

Holy shit fuck this bitch. Just shows how easily influenced a lot of women are.
Also, fuck the men who enable her behavior. Get a load of this comment:
It would be funny if only 90% of men weren't like this. Men need to have fucking standards.

Lol what in gods name is that comment.

I think the term white knight is entirely appropriate for that guy, like I mentioned before, these people fucking over share like crazy on social media. It's actually embarrassing the stuff you can dig up about a particularly fanatical virtue signaller just by going through their history even slightly.

Thirsty motherfuckers like that bringing on the end of the world haha. Fuck it, I got popcorn.

The rise of social media has exagerated women's natural hypergamy. They can now compare their man to the men other women are getting all across the world.

I wonder how much of an effect this has really had, and what the eventual repercussions will be.
[–]EvilLothar 2 points3 points4 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Well, if this story is a case study, this women seemed to be completely happy with her man until she realized that other women don't want him. If you've had it happen to you, you realize that nothing brings out the mate guarding behavior in women like another women's interest.

Huge massive massive affect.
Nobody really studies it and if they do no news organizations would run it

That's a possibility I hadn't considered.

No reason to get mad about it. That's how women are. Men have their own shit that stinks when it comes to sexuality. It's absolutely not fair but that is reality. It's not the player, it's the game.

The difference is women are praised for this negative behaviour whereas men get publicly eviscerated, there is no equality in society on a social level even if it is written into law. I used to comment about with regards to politics how we haven't seem to evolved beyond the usual class politics of medieval nobility and peasant serfs but this kind of shit makes me severely question even our biological evolution.
It's the same deal with dating, the difference between this and politics is that women can't seem to admit their biological urges and get over it to do something more healthy or find a more healthy way to mitigate those urges rather than harm the ones that they supposedly care about. This is one of the biggest reasons that I hate feminist ideology so much when it comes to how it affects social interactions because it teaches women to try and justify and rationalise what is clearly their biological urge for a partner but they end up harming themselves and everyone around them. I also think that these sorts of biological urges that women have and refuse to admit to are one of the big reasons why they aren't getting long term boyfriends because they aren't being clear what they even want in the first place.
Hope that makes sense, it's fucking depressing what you and I are suggesting because if it's true that it's 'just the game being played' then honestly our retarded species deserves to die out if this is what people consider an acceptable way to treat each other.
This is why I cannot blame MTGOWs and Incels for existing and I think you have to be a heartless cunt to attack them if they just want to be left alone. Why should men take part in society when it is already pre-determined how women are going to treat them? This is what is being proposed to not just them but even men like me who'd actually quite like a girlfriend and you can't just shrug and go "Well that's life" because you need men to carry on our species and don't get me started on the horrific idea of punishing single men and attacking them into finding a girl to go out with.
Must be the coding I've been doing but I got deeply philosophical there lol.
