Oh, man, you really missed out on a nice guy! /s

I really screwed up once at work, and I called my then boyfriend in tears.

Oh yeah, you definitely feel like you hold all the power when you end a date/relationship... because the other person can’t bother to show an interest in, or respect for, you as a person. It’s such a powerful feeling to not be cared about.

He, and men like him, think it’s such a gotcha that some to most women can get dates on demand (they don’t acknowledge the struggles of unattractive women) but the thing is, as Snide-O-Mite and others pointed out, men will really just take “anyone.”

Yeah, I thought about responding to one of his “women are lying and think emotional availability is for losers” posts, but realized before typing out a complete sentence that this guy obviously just hates women and that I’m not going to waste my time trying to convince him otherwise.

lol, later dipshit.

Maybe you should learn to read, as I never said anywhere that A was lying. What the fuck are you talking about?

Lol, of those three anecdotes, there is *maybe* one (A) in which a woman said something about a men’s height that could arguably be said to clearly betray that she “cares deeply” about a man’s height.  (B)‘s primary concern seems to be about protecting another person’s feelings (and I also don’t understand what your…

expect the man to perform all of the emotional labor.

I agree with a lot of what you say. Disclosure: I’m 62, disabled and grew up thinking that I was always going to be single. The other thing about visible disability is, it attracts entirely the wrong kind of guy, aka: the predator. Somehow I developed a personality, got a good education, all that. Discovered I like my…

That wasn’t the point I’m making with OP. If you’re using an algorithm as a guide, yes, you could arrive at an average when it comes to people’s likes and dislikes. People using dating apps, by their nature, are going to be more superficial and, depending on the demographic, may just be looking for hookups, which…

Interestingly enough, another article popped up in the Guardian today about how a huge number of young women (relative to past decades) are having anal sex and experiencing consequent health problems. (Not to judge anyone’s fun, but based on what the doctors said, anal sex really ain’t medically great for anybody’s…

Because overall life is getting better for the average person. That some men might feel “left behind” because women and minorities are taking the same social status they feel solely entitled to is just a byproduct of a more just world.

1. Required parenting classes in high school.

yesterday at my barber I noticed a good looking but serious young guy (think that young smirking prick Nicholas Sandman who tried and failed to sue a bunch of newspapers for defaming him by alleging he was a racist douchebag all because he was wearing a MAGA hat! the nerve!!) wearing a MAGA looking hat that read MAKE…

Seeing too much porn has definitely warped my self image and to some degree has warped my view on women. But I’m working on it (never ending) and I’m getting there. I do my best to view all bodies as gorgeous. I fall short at times, but I just start over again.

Yeah, you could also get your savings wiped out by a recession or unemployment or needing to take care of a sick relative. You could break your leg and be unable to meaningfully work out for months. Also, I don’t think anyone really cares about you wanting to own a million dollars in real estate.

Agreed

“The OP is specifically saying that dating isn’t about just being a set of traits. Nor do I get the sense that the OP is “frustrated”

My nihilistic take:
