 also, if i could play devil's advocate for a moment, it's not all on women.
Men aren't without our own baggage.  How many men out there bitchin' & moaning about the absolute fuckin' state of women, yet themselves have unrealistic expectations?
Modern men's minds have been totally warped by porn.  I've had countless conversations of this nature with men online.  These men complain about women's totally unrealistic expectations, yet how many of them shun that plain Jane in work or serving at the counter when they pay for their morning coffee?
I have legit had conversations with men saying they couldn't have a relationship with someone they're not attracted to.  lemme let you in on a secret, buddy, go 2-4 weeks without a wank, see how attractive that plain Jane in work becomes.
Most men historically, married a 4-5/ 10 plain Jane.
Lotta them about - not on dating apps- that are just as lonely as men, craving a family.
who's giving them a chance?
