Take the date I went on last night. The guy was substantially older. He had a long history of major depression and said, in reference to the movies he was writing, “I’m fascinated by comas” and “I have a strong interest in terrorists.”

The first part sure, I have no doubt you qualify for a good meal ticket.

The second part? Probably not so much. There's probably several men in her past you don't exactly "measure up" to if you get my meaning.

Last night, I went out for drinks with a 63 year old insurance salesman. He told me he was a "men's rights advocate" and spent most of the evening talking about his pet spider. Verdict: 6/10, definite marriage material.

I FUCKING HATE POOR PEOPLE BUT I LOVE BEING FUCKED IN THE ASS and having two dishwashers in my CONDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you ever want to watch something really depressing watch My 600 Pound Life. I mean not even is it gross, almost all of the people on it weight 600+ pounds and are immobile if not confined to a bed but a ton of them are in relationships and they abuse their partners who give them ridiculous amounts of food and wipe up their poo poo. And most of their partners aren't even that fat. I mean most of them are fat but like normal fat not like poop in the bed fat.

I'm rolling up on 50, and I get to hear the stories about my wife's friends that basically boil down to that. But we also know women who seem perfectly content being 40+ and single.

We've been married 30 years now, and when friends ask how, I can only tell them it's just luck if you even like someone after that much time together.

Well to be fair it is completely insane to marry someone at 20 and expect it to last very long. I pretty much expect any marriage under the age of say 26-30 to fail within a few years.

This is oppression by society to marry no matter what. What happens when you are in the marriage bed and neither one actually wants to gently caress? It's a disaster that already happened.

Yug was your mother a narcissist and not the parent you deserved, and this created your long-standing issues with women - particularly, discomfort with women who won't assume a submissive role to you and other men?

Do over-weight feminists who don't invest enough time in their beauty yet dare share their uncouth opinions bother you more than the elitist billionaire men with capital controls that actively gently caress you over in your day-to-day, rendering you a beta who posts sad thoughts about women and minorities on a long-dead (and gay if I may add) 'comedy' forum?

"It was doomed when I started asserting myself, which meant that our arguments came more often and involved more screaming. Because it was never enough to capitulate and let Lori have her own way, we then had to have a meta-argument where I confessed the errors in reason and logic that prevented me from seeing things her way in the first place."

Good lord that author sounds like a loving nightmare

She wrote an entire book about her ex that she dated for like 7 months called "Fat Like Him" which was self congratulatory for dating a fat lawyer who supported her while she failed out of medschool.

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.

There's also a decent amount of posts that boil down to "my partner is perfect in everyway but they don't give me ~butterflies~ anymore and so Ima break up for no reason", which is like one thing when they're 20 but when they're pushing 30 you'd think they'd have grown out of it.

I'm not thinking of anything!
I dated one lovely high-maintenance girl (and like, real high maintenance, as in I flaked out on her one time to go to a friends going-away party and she got insanely pissed that I didn't want to come over to her apartment and watch DVDs like the last 5 consecutive nights. Not the "that bitch wants me to go out to nice restaurants occasionally and dress nicely when I meet her family" high maintenance that lame dudes seem to fear) and that was enough of a bad time to never ever date one of them again.

they're easy as gently caress to avoid too, i don't know why guys even get bent out of shape about them. like, I've never been surprised when a woman all of a sudden turns out to be nuts or anything; the signs are always there, so you just move on to the next woman and that's easy-peasy because the majority of women are awesome people.

i feel like when most dudes discuss women in a negative manner its kind of like when rural republicans discuss the danger of minorities; it's like dude, you're doing a good enough job keeping people away from you already, don't worry so much about the hypothetical crappy ones, you really aren't in a position where it's going to be too big an issue. The in-shape yuppy earning 6 figures has to worry a bit about filtering out lovely women. most guys not so much.
