    I thought for sure when she reached for something she was about to pull out one of those roll-up tape-measures.

    Cis-men everywhere: “So you’re saying there’s a chance.”

      Cis men just need to not be bad and maybe be good even. There are so many women out there looking for guys that respect others as individuals, and by holding misogynistic views, so many guys fail at the first step. Toxic ideologies encourage men to be the weakest and most pathetic possible versions of themselves.

        I also see many people treating dating as like an exam, where if you “fail” that’s your fault, rather than this particular pairing of people just not working out. Pickup “artists” are the worst about this.

        And like, why would you even want to force a relationship to happen if you two don’t match well? That’s gonna be bad for everyone involved… unless… it’s not about a personal relationship at all, and perhaps it’s about having a commodity in your possession…

          They just view getting married and having kids as a checklist to complete for society’s sake rather than something fun your can do. People should only do these things to fulfill their own happiness. Evolution nor the tribe only really use you.

        Truth, but on the other side of it, a lot of the men who do pass that first step still struggle to find women because they are lost in a sea of assholes and it can be difficult for women to know which ones are faking it and which ones are sincere. Women get bombarded by men, especially on dating sites, so it’s not really their fault if they struggle to sift through to find the good ones.
