Men want women, women NEED men.

Women are human beings, men are human doings.

In nature, women cannot survive on their own. They need a man for their basic survival. Men OTOH, can survive on their own. They don't need a woman for anything. They want a woman for love, sex and to build a family.

In today's western world of modernity, it may sometimes not appear to be so. It may appear that women are self sufficient and a very small percentage of women truly are. However, if you look closely at the true dynamics, you'll see that this is still the case for the overwhelming majority of people. That men want women and women need men. Demonstrating this point can take up an entire post, so I'll leave it out of this discussion.

As a result of these dynamics:

Men want to be needed, women need to be wanted.

To women, a man who needs her is a turnoff. Because that's the female role. It's repulsive to her when he needs her in any way - even legitimate ways. She wants a man who wants - but does not need - her.

She assumes that he too, ought to be wanted ,but not needed. This is projection and it ruins her relationship value.

A man needs to feel like the head, the leader, the owner, the boss, the final say, the one who his wife and children look up to, the man who is NEEDED!

When a man is not needed, he feels useless and redundant. The relationship rots from there.

Many feminist men and women have tried to negate this "old fashioned, sexist" dynamic. Some have succeeded, most have not. Because this is human nature.

When a woman says "I'm strong and independent and I don't need no man", it's repulsive, isn't it... Now you know why.

Listen to what this bitch is saying. Her life is perfect and complete. She doesn't need anything. She just wants a man.

She's projecting masculinity and that's disgusting to men.

Cheers!

It's the usual story. Her mom raised her to be a Strong, Independent Woman. Since knowing how to cook or otherwise take care of a home would completely undermine her strength and, somehow, make her dependent on a man, Strong, Independent Women were not only never taught anything related to cooking, cleaning, doing laundry etc, but many times even were actively discouraged from doing such things or having any interests in those directions.

Basically, the explicit goal was to produce something akin to the common caricature of the male basement dweller whose mom had always taken care of everything for them and never learned to do anything for themselves.

At most, these Strong, Independent Women were allowed to do mostly useless activities, like making desserts and baking cakes. See also: How come most women these days outweigh line backers?

It was also drilled into them that it was bad, bad, bad to do any household tasks "for a man", that it would instantly transform her into weak slave and a disgrace to women everywhere.

The funny other side of this is that most mothers, in a blow for "equality", would start offloading house care and cooking tasks to their male offspring pretty much as early as they could handle the tasks, so that by the time they were in their teens, they pretty much handled all their own laundry, and possibly some or all of the rest of the family's (Often single mom + siblings.), and similarly with other household tasks, often including cooking at least a couple days a week.

So in the end, we now have many young adult women who do not know how to take care of themselves, either fully or partially, and many young adult men who are perfectly comfortable and capable of taking care themselves and their homes.

Now add that even in traditional societies, while men typically want women (for love, sex, companionship), women usually need men (to feel/be safe, to provide for basic needs like food, shelter etc, for other psychological needs).

Except now, these Strong, Independent Women also "need" men to not keep eating garbage and to not live in a freaking dump. Meanwhile, for the men, an already skewed deal has gotten substantially worse, where if he moves in with a woman, rather than offloading some of the household tasks he used to do for himself by sharing them with his live-in partner, they almost doubled since he now needs to do them for the both of them.

Of course, he is still expected to handle all the "manly" tasks and responsibilities, because no matter how equal and independent a woman is, when the bill is due or there's hard work that needs to be done, the vast majority of women all of a sudden turn really traditional and have no clue what you're talking about, when you mention equality or their strength and independence.

Getting older and more desperate but somehow I know that settling down with Joe Shmoe who is 5'10" and makes $50,000 a year is completely out of the question for her. My MIL is the same way and she is 60. That they would choose to die alone over being with a regular dude shows both how entitled they are and how little they think of us. In the near future when there a lot these women are too old and wretched for even regular guys and are thus forced into the gutter because their OF money has been long spent and their bullshit pyramid scheme "business" failed to make them rich I will laugh at them.

discouraged that I won't find someone again

"Again"?! Why didn't you hold onto him when you had him the first time?

I'm noticing that more and more of my friends are either married, engaged, or in long-term relationships, and I'm one of the last single ones.

Do you only care that you're single because of everyone else not being single?

Such herd mentality.

usually when I encounter a great guy in real life, he's taken

Combining this with your use of the word "again", it seems to me that you regret being foolish enough to have let someone go.

Cry me a fucking river.

@moorekom or @goodmansaysfuckyou, whichever of you sees this first, can you x-post it to that other platform? Thaaaaaaanks!

This whole diatribe about woe-is-me but nothing about how huge she is or who did the dumping (and why). Been searching for the vagina tingles and can't locate a man who make that twat vibrate AND will sign the papers. Bitch be stupid.

It's shit like this that make me wonder...if we (most) choose to mutilate male babies' genitals at birth, then why don't we tattoo a sell get married by date on little girls? They apparently aren't capable of figuring it out on their own.

"I'm noticing more and more of my friends are either married, engaged, or in long term relationships, and I'm one of the last single ones."

And, when she was in a relationship, she wanted to be single because she was missing out on partying and being dicked down with her friends. Now they've settled down and she's feeling left out.

Women don't want relationships, they want status. Bottom line: Never get into a relationship and now it's more important than ever that you protect yourself by either going monk mode or bringing your own condoms to casual encounters and making sure you dispose of those condoms in places/ways you can't be sperm jacked.

After years of fucking above her weight class (this is evident by none of them putting a ring on it) her only chance is to settle HARD.

And even that approach is fraught with peril as her ego is calibrated to getting dicked by far hotter men than she can get to commit, and she will be almost guaranteed to resent the poor schmuck she ropes in or outright cheat on or abuse him.

And more and more men are figuring out what a shit deal being the cock of Last Resort is and will avoid women like this entirely.

Cope and seethe roasties, it's your fault you chose to waste your best years on the worst possible men.

Two things that pop out:

1. She is concerned because her circle is getting hitched and she is the only leftover.

2. Women's approach to dating is passive. They "put themselves out there" hoping a winner might come along. She isn't doing anything to get herself a winner, apart from trying to become a winner herself under the mistaken belief that it will attract a winner. She isn't doing anything to commit to a Lieutenant and help make him a Captain or a General. She just roams around, aimlessly, hoping that she will get lucky. And the problem is that she isn't doing anything to stand out in the approach she has chosen. There is almost nothing to distinguish her from the millions of women who also choose this same approach because it puts them at ease on the front end. If she was pretty, she will get some attention. If she was kind and feminine, she will get commitment. If she was fun to be with, she will get a proposal. It's clear that she isn't any of these things. The question is: Would she make the necessary changes to get what she wants and be realistic about what she can get?

I know what my bet would be on.

In the few cases where I have been excited about someone I've met and gone on dates with, I've been dumped for such reasons as they're "moving away and changed their mind about wanting a relationship" or ghosted out of the blue.

I can only imagine how many red flags she was waving for the guys to smarten up and run for the hills. Mentioning the ex? Explaining why she left the incomparable ex? Talking about marrying in the next year and having babies right after (since she's not getting any younger, after all)?

She talks about "Her family" which I'm betting means she has kids. It's almost like a guy doesn't want to pay for someone else's kids. With the economy, gas, and food prices many can't even do it and maintain a comfortable living standard. Why would they bother with kids they only pay for but can't even raise? Given her age there's a pretty high chance of being overweight too.

There's a reason dating apps won't let you filter by mother status or weight. Because every man worth a damn would use them and that's not "fair" to single obese mothers.

It's almost like a life of instant gratification (cranking out kids before marriage, overeating) only attracts guys also into instant gratification (bang and ghost).

I might have to accept that I missed the opportunity to find a life partner

The animal shelter has plenty of cats to become your life partner. Odds are you won't friendzone them like you did the decent men who had interest in you while Chad and Brad Thundercock bent you over backwards. Your future is cat food and wine delivered by the pallet.

It's not even about a woman's deteriorating looks. Men are used to dating down physically. It's about women being goddamn insufferable past a certain age. They are either constantly sick and whining, have childish fears that keep them from being normal or they just complain fucking constantly. The worst part is if you mention any of those things they get upset and act like it's normal.

It's not normal for a grown woman to be afraid of the wind.

It's not normal to have headaches six days out of seven.

It's not normal to soak in the bath hours a day every day

It's not normal to constantly scream for no reason.

I'll also add that compared to men women's lives are cake. Most of them don't have to do a damn thing and if they do have job it's a joke where they play online and gossip all day while men at their company do all the work. If you have nothing to do in your life the least you can do is be in shape and stop being fucking fat. Yet all of them are huge.

There. Problem solved, ladies. Now make changes and go find someone. You're welcome.

Imagine dating in your prime for 11 years with no results.
