Good evening gents,
Apologies in advance for the rant, but I need to call out some bullshit I've seen on here repeatedly and think someone ought to say something to address it. I would fully agree that there are plenty of reasons to criticize dating/relationship culture in regards to women's expectations and behavior, but I want to caution against simply becoming the other side to the toxic coin. I'll list some examples.
1. "Women would rather share a high value guy than stay with a lesser loyal guy". Yeah, most guys do the same, or at least a lot of them. How many guys do you know are talking to the 5/10 girl at the bar instead of trying to score a smash and dash on the hot slutty girl? Maybe a few, but not the majority.
2. "You shouldn't give women attention if they aren't giving you sex". Well you obviously shouldn't worship anyone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings. But, you can't act like women should be your personal human fleshlight and then get mad when women want you to be their own personal ATM.
3. "Any women will leave you when a better guy comes along". Yeah, and most men will do the same when a better looking girl comes along. That's why millionaires/billionaires get divorces and marry some 20-something chick every 15 years.
4. "Women mostly only care about money". True. And men mostly only care about looks. And grass is green.
There are plenty of potential partners for both genders that would be honest, loyal, caring, fair, etc. But the reason they do not get chosen is because they don't live up to other expectations (looks, money, whatever), which is fine. But you can't pretend like the choice isn't there.
At the end of the day, YOU choose who you date, so when it doesn't go the way you want it to, it's on YOU.
And #5. "Never commit to a relationship with a women (only use them for sex and be a man-whore)". If you want to see someone and aren't interested in committing, fine, just make sure your partner knows and is on the same page. You should never manipulate someone for sex, it's not a "strategy" if you do, it's just a shitty dishonest thing to do. You wouldn't be happy if a woman manipulated you into paying their bills or giving them tons of attention if you didn't get what you wanted in return, it's the same thing.
Personally, if you aren't open to committing, I'd recommend only using escorts. Then there is no risk of drama or emotional issues being that the transaction you are after is already understood.
Naturally, I'd expect a fair amount of controversy/hate for this post, but I'll do my best to keep an open mind to replies. IMO, a "real" man is capable of taking a look at themselves and their flaws and will actively make a change for the better.
Thanks for reading.
Edit: almost forgot about the "infidelity isn't cheating when men do it" bullshit. And that's honestly so fucking stupid I'm not even going to write anything about it.
