article: Men Are Sharing Difficult Parts Of Modern Dating, And As A Woman, I Never Thought Of Some Of These

MSN

1."The constant rejection. Get rejected 1000 times and you get more than a little gunshy. The worst is when they assume it must be a joke. Because you have to be joking if you think she might be interested."

"I had a couple of first dates last month and all of them gave me their number, some of them said that 'we should meet again'...None have replied when I've asked about going out on a date somewhere or offering a dinner. It's been a month and some of my messages are still marked as unread on Whatsapp."

2."For men, it's the absence of opportunity on dating apps — the staggering lack of matches; the occasional match that goes unreplied; the conversation that evaporates after saying hi; the 'maybe-date' that never materializes. It's also the fear of social alienation or punishment in real life as the internet has socialized young men to view approaching women as harmful or annoying (a courting faux-paus). This puts men into a losing position as they don't approach and are left unapproached — essentially a ship sailing alone afraid to hail other ships and ignored by those who sail around them."

"I've been out of the dating pool for a few years now, but I still can't forget the amount of messages my (now ex) had in 2014. She likely had more messages (~250 iirc) in two months than I've received in some four years of combined dating accounts. And she frankly wasn't 10/10 or close to it either.

I was lucky to get five mystery likes a week on Tinder. I could go a month without receiving any new replies, just on there swiping away for four weeks with zero return."

5."You are supposed to know what woman is interested in you and to approach them while simultaneously being told by women to never approach them in any circumstance. If you do approach them ... and it's unwanted, then you're an entitled creep. The risk isn't worth the reward."

10."The feelings of inadequacy and hopelessness that come from being ignored by women all your life and or being treated like you're a horrible monster just because you exist. I personally think that both men and women have it hard, but for different reasons and neither side is willing to acknowledge any kind of fault in their own behavior, but would rather put all the blame on the other side."

18."I make over over 500k as a physician. Before I met my wife, I dated countless women who thought my income was THE standard. These are women who worked at Walgreens, waitresses, school teachers, and other below average income jobs. Like ****, 500k a year is 0.1% income. Barely 10% of men even make 100k a year."

24."Where can you meet [single women] without being shamed and lambasted? Yet you're a loser if you can't meet them. If women are interested, they'll 'drop hints' like blinking and breathing. If you approach and she doesn't like you, then you're 'creepy and weird.' If she likes you and you don't approach, then you're 'not a real man; and it's your loss.You're expected to initiate everything from the first conversation to physical intimacy but you're 'creepy and weird' if you find women sexually and romantically attractive. And if a woman does want to have sex with you, you better have ... a black belt in kama sutra or else you're a loser."

25."Today’s dating — swipe left or right — has been tweaked to ... a gambling-like formula. You will be judged immediately by a few pictures and two sentences as the combined value of your worth, and worst of all, you're competing with every other single (or not) man in the city. Now them is some tough odds."

26."You always have to pay. It doesn't sound that bad on the surface. But it adds up and sometimes starts to feel as though we are being taken for granted. It feels like we are escorting this beautiful princess around, who everyone loves and adores. Everyone is fawning over her, but if you make one mistake she's gone and onto the next one. You're just some chump who happens to have the credit card tonight which is paying for everything."

So the whole article is just a woman who copy/pasted a reddit thread of men's comments without giving any of her thoughts or commentary aside from the couple of sentences she wrote in the introduction...

Worse than a reaction video...

Those comments reek of soy.
Been stuck between nice guys/soy boys and guys looking for pump&dumps seems to be what women encounter in the dating world.

Nice guys are learning they still finish last. No surprise.

"Would you like to go out to dinner with me so I can bore you for 3 hours?"

Soy tastes good though!

Soy tastes good though!

Your taste buds need recalibrating.

What is also interesting is women who have gone through a sex change operation to be a man and are crushed by how awful their new reality is because they have no comprehension of how difficult sub-8 guys have it navigating through the world or online.

What should he say?

He said plenty on the first date that was boring. There was nothing he could say that was going to make her interested anyway but the nice guy "dinner" invite was the coup de grace for him.

Having a d1ck doesnt entitle you to get laid as much as having a pvssy doesnt entitle you to free money, shelter and protection.
