[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women have a long list of requirements for a man to meet in order to be considered worthy.

There's a reason so many women are single.[/quote]
I mean….would you prefer any person, man or woman, have zero requirements for who they want to partner with?

[b]I guess for me, as a woman, I always knew I had to be outstanding. I learned how to make men feel comfortable, I learned how to massage their egos and tend to their domestic needs. I’m super good at it. [/b]

I don’t see the same kind of reciprocity or capability in the men I’ve been asked out by or gone on dates with.

I wonder if dating was just so easy for men, or if the prexumltion of sex was so taken for granted in the age  of “if they’re drunk they asked for it” and casual date rape. I think men now are being called to either step up as a fully grown adult- capable of managing a well rounded life without a woman and capable of being an equal partner- or they turn bitter - like you.

+ 1 to this, unfortunately.  I recently went on a terrible first date (OLD).  The guy literally complained about everything, spent most of the date making pained/contorted faces when I asked him basic get-to-know-you questions, and asked me very little about myself.  A total sour puss.  I decide to give the guy 1 hour of my time since he was drinking his drink extremely slowly and I didn't want to be outright rude, so I made a little game of it for myself to see how well I could carry the conversation.  Despite his terrible first-date skills, I keep the conversation moving, asked him a ton of questions about himself, acted sympathetically to his trauma dumping, and even cracked a few jokes.  Once the time was up I quickly made an excuse about having to meet a friend and bailed.  The next day I messaged him that we weren't a match but I wished him the best of luck.  He wrote back that he was "very surprised" to hear that. He thought the date had gone extremely well and thought we had a lot in common and said it was rare to have that type of connection.  His lack of awareness and interpretation of friendliness and good conversation skills as romantic chemistry was shocking to me.[/quote]
