This …is truth distilled to its essence!
This is why “the gals” “oh you know, ‘the gals'” have a term, “Starter husband” …for f~~~s sake.
This is why hospital females have the term “harvesting” a young doctor of his resources.
We cannot change laydeez, but we can continue to wake up and wake other men up.

I’ve once seen a quote stating that “Men are romantics pretending to be realists; women are realists pretending to be romantics”.

Guilty as charged. and this romantic notion I embraced for so long did nothing but make me cling to bad situations long after I should have let them go.

If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.

I still have a profile up on PoF and I check it from time to time. I have little desire to play the game. I send a message about once a month a best and put little effort into it. There is one thing I still find interesting though.

Every so often, a woman will message me first. It is usually just hello, but never beyond just once sentence. I’ll respond with the same level of effort. Hello. You’d think since they are the one’s to initiate contact and since men and women are equal they would make an effort to carry on the conversation. Ask a question.. anything. Nothing. Nothing will happen unless I make it happen.

Where have all the good men gone indeed.

Ok. Then do it.

This is my experience but moreso in real life. Right into my 30s, I would be constantly approached by attractive women, cat called, and get lots of attention otherwise.

Outside of one time where a group of 4 girls in a car pulled up to me and asked about having some fun, for the most part they go out of their way to make sure you are the one that has to make any overt move.

Most will smile and say hello. Some will even start conversations with you. Some will just sort of stand around you and keep looking at you.

But not a one, ever, has done anything close to starting a romantic relationship or making it known she’s looking for one. Heck, if anything, they’ll insist they are just being friendly, which is utter bulls~~~ because nobody just chats up a member of the opposite sex to “be nice”. As I’ve gotten older that has stopped, and I know the vast majority of men never have young women do this, so it’s clearly not girls being “friendly”. I don’t think they even know what that word means.

Now maybe it changes with desperate women in their late-30s with kids. I often read about men insisting women are chasing them all over the place and forcing themselves on them. So maybe that does happen.

But for the most part, even now, most women of that description know they have no shot at me, so I don’t think they try. Even now, it’s really only young men and women that will ever talk to me. The men I believe are indeed being friendly, the women I think are definitely displaying interest, but I’m long past the point where I’m willing to reciprocate.

I think young men are willing to put up with young women’s s~~~, but where either one ages out, it’s probably not going to happen especially with the rape hysteria and open misandry, not to mention all of this alleged “respect women as equals” nonsense.

The original poster proves this point, just look at his original post. He’s a romantic. These bitches he’s seeing as innocent and worthwhile of his romance are realists, and just see him as a tool used to boost their own ego or fat wallet to be exploited, then cast away.

Guilty as charged.
