I think some people are too picky, but if you've ever read the r/relationships thread or E/N a lot of people put up with some unhealthy poo poo. relationships are work, and honestly i think a lot of people dont really seem to acknowledge it. also this author makes it sound like you dont even need to like the guy. i think you should like your partner, just you know understand they and you are not perfect.

She wrote an ENTIRE BOOK of this, too! I'm surprised this is in "The Atlantic," but I guess I never really read it. I always thought it was a publication for smart people.

This is what happens when the 80% of women don't win up with one of the top 20% of men. They get really bitter and resentful of the poor beta sap they end up with. He's just a meal ticket to them and the idea that he would desire a sexual relationship disgusts the woman.

quote:

Everything was a test. One afternoon, she calls me at work and tells me I have to come over immediately to kill a spider. I'm like "You realize Diane Keaton already did this in Annie Hall, right?" No, it was evidence of whether I really cared about her, would I stay at work and finish the assignment the senior partner wanted on his desk in two hours, or would I drive to Brentwood and kill the spider for her. So, yeah, that spider made me have to switch law firms and lose several years before I could become partner. Most expensive spider in the world. My fault for giving into the emotional blackmail, but, hey, I'm a naive romantic.

It's not even about settling, she is toxic AF. If this guy made an EN post about dating her the calls of SEVER would come out immediately.

I see that humans are just primates like any other and we have certain trends in the way we mate and who we want to mate with. And that there's nothing wrong with it, it's just the way we are.

I mean I don't blame women at all or anything, 20% of men is being pretty generous for the amount of men that are worth it.

I read this entire long article and I think if the OP is unable to enjoy the company of any man, she should probably not settle but rather import a nice third world boy or girl who will help take care of her child and not impose sex or conversation on her.

The Economist still lets you comment. They even occasionally mention good ones in their articles!

Half of the comments consist of poorly written boosterism for glorious China, though.

quote:

But eventually I get the sense that she's protesting too much; she wants to see me several times a week, she's calling me a lot while I'm at work, she's emailing me all the time. This gets confirmed in February when I go off on a weekend trip with a woman I knew from my hometown, and Lori completely freaks out because she calls my apartment on a Saturday night and my roommate won't tell her where I am. (This is 1999, and I don't own a cell-phone yet.) [...]

[The next week,] We get to talking on her couch, and I kiss her. She starts to go through her list of reasons why she can't date me, and, very unusual for me, I kiss her a second time. But I'd guessed right, she kisses back, and she's surprised that I know how to kiss and can handle foreplay, and we end up in bed.

No you're not getting the point. That would involve her paying him. She wants all those things taken care of but she also wants the money he makes. Getting a third world indentured servant doesn't give you that payout like marrying a desperate pathetic man will.
