Why are the potential mates a.k.a. males and so shitty? |
You are most likely the reason for posts like this, toots! |

I totally identify OP. And before I get called horrible names my life has been nothing but men who were nothing but shitty to me.
1) my "father" was an alcoholic who could not be a parent in any way, financial, emotional, protective. He pretty much left when I was 11 and I only saw him once since then. 1) early 20's meet a guy who is my first real love. He is in the military, law degree, very loving and attentive. We start a really awesome relationship and then one day, all of a sudden, his wife and kid show up (he was deployed when I met him). After him I had a lot of trust issues, did some pretty self destructive shit. 3) early 30's meet a guy who I saw myself with for the rest of my life. He was feeling the same. He comes from a good family, highly educated, great job, very loving. Until we accidentally get pregnant. Then all hell broke loose. I am not saying I didn't play a part but I just don't see how trying again would get me any better than what I had so far. I'm fine being single. |
I would say you got unlucky but this is just pretty much the norm. Statistics say that a lot of men are total fing losers |
I think it's telling that you put "military & law degree" and "good family, highly educated, and great job" before "loving & attentive." The other stuff is nice, but it's the loyalty, love, and affection that should be your primary focus when looking for a significant other. I wonder if you're making some mistakes because you're looking for the father figure you never had. |
That was only to point out that I wasn't seeking out losers with no education or prospects just because " i fell in love." Of course "loving and attentive" was the priority. But I don't see how anything I did would have prompted a man to flat out lie for two years about being married and having a family. But I can imagine that my dad leaving and not being in my life probably affected me and contributed to how I experienced these men. |
Sure this assumes that you are some how special. It's mostly an ego trip. The sad facts are if a man makes a lot of money, has a degree from a big named university, family money and/or prestigious job, he has his pick of women. If you as a woman do not bring any of those things to the table why do you think you should end up with a man who does? Feminism is about women's egos writing checks they real life can't cash. Keep the bitterness alive. |
You are the only bitter one. |

I actually appreciate this trend of women who have issues with men voluntarily removing themselves from the dating pool. Sorry you had a bad father, boyfriends, etc., but I don't want to place myself in a position where I am going to be paying for their sins.
In fairness, there's a whole analogous trend of "men going it alone," which is an actual movement. I'm wondering if this was always a thing, or if the Internet has exacerbate it. Maybe we'll get to a point where only Super Alpha Bros and Super Models actually reproduce and everyone else just gets hooked up to virtual reality simulators and checks out. |
except that is an oxymoron. It doesn't exist. |
IT says a lot that you would use those two as the ultimate form of male and female in the world. I am so happy I decided to stay single instead of run into someone like you. |

If you're attracting shitty men, you need to improve yourself. I meet many, many nice, well adjusted men.
Misandry is no better than rage against women. |

Just one guy's experience, but my wife isn't supermodel hot. But, I think she's pretty, funny, kind, loyal, a good mom, super organized, an innovative businesswoman, and generally kind of a bad ass. I'm not particularly an alpha, but I'm no one's pushover. I'm a good dad, a good husband, reasonably attractive, stay healthy, and have moderately good hygiene. (I tend not to shower on Sundays).
She's a feminist. We get along very well, and our family seems pretty happy. So, it can happen. |
If you weren't impaired, you clearly understand that those terms are used sardonically. But I'm glad you decided to stay single too! |
