We get told when men just want to sleep with us but not have a relationship. So we get told, just in a different way.


Yup the infamous "doable".

I wish more fathers warned their daughters about that.

Youth fades, makeup skills improve.
Muscle ages, income grows.

Character is forever, for both men and women.

I think the confusion for the women is the attention they get by men who just want sex vs the lack of attention they get from men who are top 20% who want to be in a relationship with them.


Y’all, it’s been like this for women since at least the 90’s. This isn’t new. It’s always been the case that an average looking young woman could find attractive guys to sleep with her. That’s why women used to date guys for a while before sleeping with them. If the guy just wants sex, he will give up and leave. It’s how you protect yourself emotionally and keep yourself from being strung along. It was so common back then that the guys knew we did it and played the game if they wanted a relationship and not just sex. I have a hard time believing young women today aren’t bright enough to figure this out.

My dad never warned me about that, but it was common knowledge that most young men had a pretty low bar when it came to hookups. That’s why I struggle to believe young women today are too stupid to figure this out and allow themselves to be strung along until their mid 30s. How many times does the hot guy have to blow them off after sex before they put two and two together?

Maybe but doing the average guy is a fate worse than death for them

If young women today are even remotely similar to young women 25 years ago (I imagine they are), then you need to understand that they usually want more than just sex. An average looking young woman will turn down sex with a hot guy for a relationship with an okay looking dude who seems to have his shite together. You might not believe that, but they will. Of course, the okay looking dude needs to actually have his shite together and needs to be willing to date an average looking girl and not a smoke show.
Y’all need to get off the damn dating apps. And get a dog. That’s how I met my husband, and he took such great care of it that I saw a good future father.

Women fight for the same top group of males. Nothing has changed except the internet is here to put it under a microscope

Haha. I see 40 year olds who want a 6ft dude with perfect hair and still want children. Or still figuring out their dating goals. Those dudes are gone, they ain’t looking for you.

Agree. I am 40, 6 ft, have perfect hair and I don’t want kids

Society has made it harder for young men, especially from non rich backgrounds to have it together until later in life.

The 1950s through 1980s allowed men at 18 to 22 to be an earner.
The trades still allow that, but anything requiring a college education delays that.

Many men who will have their shite together by 30 are at 20 broke, carless, and living with parents.

Sure an ugly guy who has a beard, wears sharp suits and is a medical doctor is an attractive individual, but if he got there from nothing then he was even more impressive as a poor student, but someone would have needed to see the potential.

Agreed, men need to look beyond porn and Instagram. The difference between an average looking girl and a "smokeshow" is heavily clothes and makeup/filters.

By 40, a smokeshow that drinks heavily will be a much worse looking partner than an "average" woman who has her priorities in order.

Same with a gym rat bro.
Muscle tries to turn to fat eventually.
The amount of effort it takes after 40 is crazy compared to at 25.

So many people wake up at 40 to realize the temporary things they prioritized at 30 have all fallen off the rails.

It's definitely not the men's fault. Women looking at tiktok and instagram all day have these fat "4's" thinking they can have a "10". Maybe some actual introspection could bring their expectations back to reality instead of "Yas Queen"

They don't seem to understand that their youth is their only selling point.

Then when they pass 35 their only selling point is being nice.

I don't know any guys who are looking for a woman with a career.

It's like 10th on a list of 9 things.

Even woke arse tech bros have very little interest in that.

Men are interested in some combination of looks, youth, niceness, fun, religious, caretaking/housekeeping/mother potential, cooking.

Each guy has his own preferences, and maybe they change over time, but even if a guy is with a woman with a great job, he would definitely leave her for someone with more points in the other categories.

Men would rather her be poor and nice, a damsel in need to their hero, than her not need them.

Men want to be needed, and so do women.

The career slave option being sold to women leads to unhappy people.


I think women are being ridiculous in this day and age, but goodness this is certainly a take. If this was actually the case, stay at home mom rates wouldn't have cratered (though I'll give you a bump after Covid), people wouldn't generally marry within their own social class, and one of the most popular questions from men on dating apps wouldn't be "what do you do for work".

Today’s women do not let men perform their role in a relationship. Men are hunters and gathers. We want to provide and protect. We want to make them feel secure. Like someone else mentioned, men want to be the hero for her. We need to have a purpose. The minute a woman starts to tout her independence, i don’t need no man, I’m good on my own;….run as far away from her as you can. We are leaders of the family, and society today does not want us to act like it. We need to be a leader, ask God for vision and guidance for our family. Be stearn when we feel things are right. Be fair. Men are not perfect, but who is. I want a woman to stand up and say, That’s my man, he’s a good man, and a God fearing man.

Yall are still on this?

Look, women have too high of standards as the majority of them are fricking ignorant slobs that are "woke".

Its better off the good men stay single, maybe the next crop will have better women to procreate from. Stay away from the young ones now.

Women can talk, just make sure you are called upon before giving your input.


Look around, you built none of this. None.

100% agreed here. Theres going to be some great stories about how people met on an app. Great for them. Its a small percentage, very small.

You need to meet people you can physically see and touch.

The whole screen thing is a fantasy.
