Economic metaphors provide the language for conversations on Reddit with titles like “thoughts on what could be done to regulate the dating market,” and for a subreddit named sarcastically “Where Are All The Good Men?” with the stated purpose of “exposing” all the women who have “unreasonable standards” and offer “little to no value themselves.” (On the really extremist end, some suggest that the government should assign girlfriends to any man who wants one.) Which is not at all to say that heterosexual men are the only ones thinking this way: In the 54,000-member subreddit r/FemaleDatingStrategy, the first “principle” listed in its official ideology is “be a high value woman.” The group’s handbook is thousands of words long, and also emphasizes that “as women, we have the responsibility to be ruthless in our evaluation of men.”

The fact that these two subs were brought up as a comparison says all you need to know about Reddit!

Last year, researchers at Ohio State University examined the link between loneliness and compulsive use of dating apps—interviewing college students who spent above-average time swiping—and found a terrible feedback loop: The lonelier you are, the more doggedly you will seek out a partner, and the more negative outcomes you’re likely to be faced with, and the more alienated from other people you will feel. This happens to men and women in the same way.

People look at me like I'm crazy when I say I would be ok if I never found a partner or never had sex again. They assume I'm hurt and bitter.

I'm not.

The thing that was making me hurt and bitter was the revolving door of guys I was spending my energy on who were giving me nothing in return. I'm happier alone, not lonely.

And when people have trouble understanding this I just feel bad for them. If you think you can't be happy without a partner, you're gonna spend most of your time unhappy. Spreading that bitterness to other people, playing weird games and trying to read hidden signs.
