Women do not care about men's struggles. It takes a lot of hard work and struggles to become elite in something that is worthwhile. It takes at least many years of practice and hard work just to make high school varsity teams. It takes many hours of practice and many years to become a good musician. Finally, it takes a lot of studying hours to become a good student, and hopefully one can end up at a good college. Many young men struggle to become successful in those areas. Women do not care about men's struggles to become the best version of themselves, they wait at the finish line and pick the winners. You can see this from young girls too, because I was invisible to girls in middle school; however, as a high school freshman, I was the best player on the varsity team and we won the state championship. We celebrated the championship with a video, and I was the band's frontman. The video became very popular, and all the girls in school wanted to sleep with me. Without the state championship trophy and the music video, I would have been totally invisible to girls. |
Maybe, just spitballing, there are different women out there with different preferences. |
That's fair. I'm sure once you were popular you weren't clamoring to take the fat, funny smart girl to prom, or the accomplished and kind girl who was skinny and tall and awkward. Thems the breaks. |
Nobody cares about anyone’s struggles. Men don’t care about how a woman arrives at where she is…just that she’s there. Such a strange post to think this a one-sided perspective. |
+1. Woman here. Most of the women around me were looking for tall and high income. Exceptions are made for being short but very handsome, short but shiny career ( e.g. physician), or short with a great personality ( rare: most men who think they have a great personality are obnoxious). And women have become even pickier now that they don't need to depend on men for money. If i were single, I wouldn't care how ugly and/or fat I got. If the guy is not tall, I wouldn't interested unless he is truly exceptional. And yes, I'd rather be "alone" than settle. In my circle, while we see the enormous benefits of being married to a decent guy and sharing financial and child rearing responsibilities, we also admire the lives of single women. Single women are very happy on their own as long as they have a good income ( over 90K in this area). They have great friendships and have sex pretty much whenever they want it. So it's not really scary to tell a woman she is so picky that she would end up alone. My 45 year old sister who is divorced from an okayish ex-husband and my 55 year old aunt who never married are just as happy if not happier than the rest of us in stable marriages. They both make good incomes and have a great network of friends and family. They have boyfriends but are not focused on being joined at the hip with them. |
Tacky teen example of tacky teen girls. Are you 18? And the first half of your response is generic shit males and females go through in high school. Especially at large competitive public schools. And what’s this “waiting for a girl to pick me” BS. List your values and goals and go find her, not wait for the tacky butt kisser. Who knows, maybe that suits you. My dad would have given you some serious talks. |
+1. Fascinatingly self-centered and immature response to What Are Men’s Struggles. Doing well in high school and school sports? askrealmen in Reddit is way better, and has more adults posting. |
Well, if women are too much for you to handle, stay single. You are not entitled to a woman who cares about your struggles. Or you can become a passport bro and bring a new wife over every 3 years ( they will become just as complicated as Anerican women right around when they get their citizenship). |
As a former D1 athlete at UCLA, there were so many women in college that wanted to sleep with me because I was a popular guy on campus. I went into software sales after graduation and made a lot of money. I became a catch to many women because of my social status and money. It made me realize that women are beauty objects while men are success objects. The vast majority of women want to marry guys for a "marriage style", not love. Guys are invisible to women if they do not have looks, money or social status. YMMV. |
So how do 52% of all men get married? Are you saying 52% have looks, money or social status? I don’t think that’s the case. You are making an obvious statement and I guess thinking you made some breakthrough observation. What are you going to tell me next…that rock stars can sleep with basically 12 women a night if they want? |
First off, even if you looked like Elmer Fudd, a D1 athlete at a good program is ALWAYS going to have plenty of women - just look at the Duke lacrosse guys. Always has been, always will be. |
Do girls and women not play varsity sports? |
Yes, they do. Those women are usually interested in hooking up with other women. |
Hardly true. Maybe you were only attracted to the striver types but I’d say that most women do not want transactional type of marriages. |
