Yeah, I don't hate the good ones, but they know who they are.
Men who don't understand the social order and just want to gain stuff.
They also don't understand how men and women select mates in other ways, and that girls don't want the things that dudes like.
Of course, doing this with other men works out fine, to be honest, even better in hetero relationships, as they are both fully eager whenever.
Straight men acting like gay men towards women means it just won't work.
I hate it, and what's worse, those people are the ones firing off the most DMs, PMs, and replies, as they can't find someone.
Munchies:I wouldn't say men and women necessarily choose their SOs differently. If you are socialized a certain way, you'll look for an SO like you've been raised to look for one. But if you look up how men and women choose partners, you'll find variations. And if you hang out with enough people, you'll realize there's no gender-specific guideline.
Heck, when my partner and I met, we'd planned for it to be a one-off bit of fun. But it organically grew into something more.
This boils down to a basic lack of respect and seeing women as objects instead of people.
LydiaFatOttter:Not to go too 100% nerd on you, but there is a thing that sex plays in mate selection, but this is the wrong place for a science talk.
Also, someone like me who has seen both sides of the gender experience, there is 100% a difference.
Munchies:That's not what I'm getting at. I won't deny that men and women approach things differently. But a lot of that is nurture over nature.
Here's a quick and dirty about what I mean:
psychcentral.com/blog/love-matters/2018/08/why-we-choose-the-mates-we-do-and-how-to-choose-the-best-mate-for-youI've never put much stock in the opinions of evolutionary psychology. It has a male, white, Western, cishet, traditional viewpoint. And while there's nothing wrong with being a white Western cishet traditional man, you have to admit it has a very limited viewpoint.
Enas:Or the lack of nurture. The amount of people who sadly end up having their lives sacrificed for the profit motive (instead of doing other thigns like taking *good* care of children) seems to be growing by the day!
Enas, I am confused. How does this tie in into anything either party has said?
