Sad but true. The biggest bullsh1t phrase ever spoken is "Happy wife: happy life." Men have been conditioned to pander to the emotional whims of women. This might have working in the 19th century, when men had some authority, but now... it is epically harmful.
My father used to say something that he was running his life around making my mother happy. It was pretty detrimental for me to get this sort of messaging growing up. My parents did eventually have an acrimonious divorce when I was 15.
My father was saying that stuff mostly in the 1990s, well after its useful life as an idea had ended.
Men haven't had authority in the house since some point before the 1990s when I grew up.
Why bust your @ss trying to make a chick happy, when if she is unhappy, there is little you can do to change that. I know men that do nothing but dance dance dance... and the woman just takes takes takes... there is no reciprocity, and many of my married friends MIGHT get sex once a week like she's handing out Scobey Snacks.... and when he gets sex he has to load up on Viagra because his wife has morphed into a fat pig. It's not the woman's fault, IT'S YOURS, for failing to screen out bad women and putting up with it.
To a lot of men, once a week sex doesn't sound too bad. Recall that 28% of 18-29 year old men had no sex in calendar year 2018. These are men in the primes of their life. If you add in the 18-29 year old men only having sporadic, irregular sex, that probably pushes it up to 35-40%. This sporadic, irregular sex is less than once a week. To a lot of men, the worst part of that scenario is not the frequency. The worst part is that the sex would be with an overweight woman.
I had an uncle that died a couple of years ago... he was one of these men, and my aunt just dogged him out his whole married life... the man busted his butt in a futile attempt to make her happy working well into his 70s, and when he got sick and couldn't work. All she did was b1tch about not having enough money. This went on for a few years, until nature ran it's course. I don't remember my aunt shedding one tear for him, when we were cleaning out their house, because she was moving in with my cousin (who I'm sure is going to be used like his dad). She just tossed all my uncle's stuff in the trash with ZERO thought or remorse.
This is what happens when you end up with the wrong fvcking woman. It is better to be by yourself then to be chained to a chick like this. If you are in a situation like this, you can not fix this by 'trying harder', it's too late, you ended up with the wrong woman because you let your hormones control your rational decision making, just go get fvcking divorced... sure you are going to take it in the shorts in divorce court, but it is worth it.
Life is too short to be married to the wrong woman. I'm 37, never been married, and no kids. In a previous era, that would have made me really weird. In the current era, where Millennials have faced an absurdly bad mating environment, I'm not that unusual. My life choices over the years have prevented some of the worst downside risks. I never got any of my relationships close to the point of marriage. In my sex life, I have regularly used condoms, and most of the women I have had sex with used birth control as well. My personal life is a mess right now, but having a child with a woman and not having relational stability with her would have been a worse outcome for me.
To the original point, I think the idea of most women being boring has something to do with our dysfunctional mating environment. Men are sexual scavengers and women are absurdly hypergamous. Because men are sexual scavengers and often lacking sex, societal problems such as simping, porn addiction, OnlyFans, thirst, etc are occurring. Men are having a hard time connecting with women because we can't think clearly as we're primarily focused upon getting the bang. Women are having a hard time connecting due to promiscuous pasts, hypergamous desires, endless options, and some other factors. When these two random people are put together through swipe apps, it is the worst possible outcome because the women see the men as a walking wallet who might be able to fucck them and the men see the women as a walking combo of titts, vag, and asss.
