I never dated or had interest in dating because relationships were always talked about as if one is trapped in them.
Anywhere you search, it sounds as if the woman has to take the reigns of the relationship and the man can just kick back and have a clown to appease him. It's always the gf has to appear, act, behave, speak a certain way, etc.
It always seems like a one-sided partnership. I've seen it in person too, in my culture (hispanic) the women are the ones doing literally everything. The men just get drunk, half-ass work (let's be real, if they were getting real work done the worlds infrastructure would be solid and not crumbling every few days) and eat food. The wives and gf are the ones always tending to others.
Even at it's best, men dating and courting women is just taking them out for food and the woman having to direct everything to her standards. It's never the man taking the lead.
I don't see that as beneficial for me.
Relationships for women through history have never truly been beneficial, unless you are born into the privileged and right societies. That's why it's better to be alone than in a horrible one sided relationship with a shitty man.
Yes. Being with a man pikme style is being a clown. Honk honk. Actually to some extends no woman in relationship with a man can avoid clowning herself. What we are trying to do here is to get the biggest possible profit from the relationship with the least amount of clownery.
But the only way to not be a clown is to not partake in hetero relationship circus.
All of this. I am you and you are me. Dating has always put me off for this exact reason. It’s extremely off-putting. Godspeed to women who still want to date men. Yikes.
Exactly!!!
I used to be in relationships from 16 to 32. I'm 34 now and don't see the point! It is so much extra work for no pay & an added layer of danger and violence if you break up
What are the benefits really? Men still cheat at the same rate. In fact most women that get infected with STDs like HIV are married! You might even be worse off in a relationship or marriage TBH because at least single people are more likely to wear protection.
