[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Desirable" women are expected to be beautiful, smart, kind, well spoken, well travelled, fit, great makeup and hair without looking like you have done your makeup and hair, "bounce back" after kids, etc etc. And men can't even... try to be better? To attract one of these women? C'mon now.

For generations men have not had to do anything to snag a wife, because she literally had no other choices. Now that they are still expected to do all of the above but have the choice to find a man who does the same, all of a sudden men are trivializing this to "women have too high of standards and will end up alone"  :roll: GMAFB.

No man expects a woman to be well traveled.  Indeed, it's often a red flag.  [b]"Great makeup and hair" are also absolutely not requirements.  These are items where women compete with other women[/b].

You're absolutely correct that men have to compete differently now because for the first time in western history, women have a lot of choices.  Most importantly, women don't need a man and many women are choosing solitude over shacking up with a "lesser" man.  It just goes to show that women did not like marriage and shows the Suffragettes were onto something a century ago.[/quote]

I get way more attention with my makeup and hair done. Most men don’t like colorful makeup but they like the natural stuff. It may not be a requirement for day to day life, but it definitely helps for first impressions.[/quote]
