It looks like the consensus online, is that women are too picky when it comes to dating

Gee whiz. I prefer men who respect me physically and mentally (I haven’t always had this in the past). I guess that’s way too much to ask for and makes me extremely picky. :roll_eyes:

Honestly though, is this poster a troll?

Im not sure where youre looking online to see that consensus, maybe an incel forum?

Ive never thought women were more picky than men when it comes to choosing a romantic partner.

Yeah, I really thought you are supposed to be choosy when picking your life partner. Are we supposed to lower our standards? I mean, I’m not talking about looks or food preferences. I’m referring to weasel cheaters, rapists and general scumbags. Sure it would be nice if he knew what laundry hampers were for and could read something with no illustrations, but I think they are different from people who are just straight up not marriageable material because they don’t have any respect for other humans.

Men out number women by an insane amount on dating apps, women aren’t being picky, they just have more to pick from.

Even if women were being picky, it’s their right to do so. Saying women are picky reeks of entitlement.

Yeah, but it would sure be wonderful to have a spouse who knew his way around a kitchen like youse. :heart:

When I met my husband, he could only walk very short distances with a cane, or else he needed to be in a wheelchair.

He was also not working and was receiving a disability check monthly from the government.

I asked him out and paid for the date.

We’re now married. He still isn’t working and is still disabled.

Why do women still have to wait for a man to decide when to get married is my issue. As an outside observer, I still see this as a norm. Is it just the way its supposed to be.? I watched my sister wait 8 years for her husband to propose to her, and from watching in, see her waiting and having proving she would be a good wife. But she’s my older sister so things were worse for her.

I mean, that’s kind of a reflection of the man, if he doesn’t want to commit to marriage. It can be for multiple reasons. But this is a new society where traditional marriages aren’t the only ones out there. Which is great. Many couples are fine with just living together as partners long term and that works out great if both the partners are okay with it. If one of them is not, then it’s definitely difficult. Honestly, I think it’s great, if the girl proposes. But when I’ve witnessed it it’s cause the girl is tired of waiting around. One guy was like….noooo. It was bone crushing.

Yeah I think the new generation of people are more logical.

I mean, don’t string a person along, if in 8 years you don’t discuss or do discuss and force one person to wait til they are sure, don’t take X years to be sure. The thing is I think its better to get a NO, than wait and get a NO.

Yeah, I think it’s a very important topic to discuss. That kind of difference in opinion can really break a couple up. Like you gotta know at some point. Like if a proposal isn’t happening for eight years, do I want to waste all that time. People are realizing marriage isn’t the end all. But you sure would want to understand the reasons why your partner doesn’t want to marry, before the eight years later I would think.

This has been my experience too, I’m instantly set up to fail when the dating app asked for my height.

Maybe it would appease people if the “too” was dropped from the title.

It is generally not possible to appease incels.

Honestly I lost my dating skills due to sz. Negative and cognitive symptoms. No emotions. At least I have good friends I hangout with who work and don’t have problems or do drugs.

That’s alright. There’s nothing a good spanking won’t fix. :grinning:

I’m not in the game so it doesn’t affect me. I know I’m no catch. I would have a friend that’s a woman but I’m satisfied with just being on friendly terms with the women at work or who I run into and the occasional woman who flirts with even me. Women are great but it would be too much work to be in an intimate relationship.

Are you referring to the tinder study? if you are your numbers are little off.

I have dating skills, I’m just ugly.

Edit: My only redeeming quality is

I forgot to tell you, glasses and mustaches are the new attraction. Vampire teeth and green noses are out. You gotta keep up on these things.
