Thanks to @SwarmShawarma (aka Captain Euroweenie Rereg, aka The Man Of A Thousand Usernames) for the find.

I do love how at so many moments, she's almost there, almost at realizing....

LMAO.

The only hint of self-awareness she had in all that is when mused about buying a dog (and dying alone). Single mothers are cancer.

I deserve

No. You don't.

You earn.

And you, specifically, have earned two bastard children and a mountain of emotional baggage which will ensure any man who has his shit together will steer well clear of you.

I do have to give her credit for one thing: she at least has the perspicacity to realize she'd be better off with a dog.

Not that the dog would deserve such a fate, of course, but it's time to switch things up. Cats have suffered long enough.

relatively smart

Compared to a brick, perhaps. Or a twig. Or a shovelhead. Or a pile of sawdust. Or a clump of mud. Or a shoe. Or a melted ice cream cone. Or an axe-handle. Or a chunk of space debris that fell off a rocket launched out of Vandenberg AFB in 1981...

The word 'respect' has changed over time. We used to reserve respect for people that had achieved great things, like climbing Everest or invented a cure for Polio. Or for more common but nonetheless wonderful things: like raising a family of 4 kids and working part time and keep a house. Or serving in the military.

But now, an ordinary woman aged 36, overweight, works an email job, has never read a book, can't even name a single philosopher, is ignorant of everything to do with culture or politics...demands 'respect'.

Respect for what?

Perimenopausal, has baggage and children from a prior relationship, and is still somehow amazed to find out that men with options other than her are exercising them.

She's already demonstrated what kind of man she prefers to open her legs for. And if you aren't that kind of man, you are just getting a preview of what kind of man she is going to cheat on you with.

And I guarantee she's reinforcing her misery by actively selecting for men that are superficially attractive enough that they know they don't have to put in any effort. Decades of social indoctrination has blinded women to how self destructively shallow they can be.

At least men will admit there is a hot/crazy matrix and note how bad trying to beat the odds can end up.

There’s a lot to examine here.

She’s a 34-year-old woman with two small children and no husband, and she’s STILL bouncing from one exciting BadBoi(tm) to the next like it’s her job to provide thugs with access to holes.

She claims to have done a great deal of self reflection and self improvement over the years, yet she is not-so-blissfully unaware of her role in creating the crappy life she’s whining about. She also doesn’t understand her ranking in the mating market: she is the very definition of a “Low Value Woman” yet she thinks she’s entitled to a HVM who possesses a basket of traits that would repulse her if she met a man who possessed them.

For example, her dating history shows that she is exclusively attracted to men who are good-looking, emotionally unavailable, and domineering: the same kind of players who already put two babies in her and left her to raise them while they’re off banging younger women. The soft, empathetic, emotive man she claims to want would make her drier than the leeward side of the Atacama Desert. I can say that because there is no shortage of such men, and not only is she not with one, but she strongly implies that she has never even encountered one… or at least one who she found attractive.

You know what else is not attractive? Being expected to provide for the bastards “your” woman bore for another man, and treat them like they were your own. Even worse, the “lucky” guy never gets the “honeymoon” experience with her because the relationship goes straight into “parenting” mode without ever pausing at “new lover” mode where sexual bonding occurs. (Not that this woman is still capable of pair-bonding with a decent man, anyway.). On top of all that, her most attractive years are behind her. Since she didn’t mention anything about her looks in her self assessment of why she thinks men should find her desirable, we may assume that she’s not especially attractive, and is almost certainly overweight. By this point she should have realized that she’s doesn’t “deserve” (what an odd choice of words on her part) an AlphaBucks husband.

Given her lifetime of making bad decisions, it’s probably best that she finds a man who won’t hesitate to ignore her tumultuous mental and emotional storms and just tell her what to do. The problem is that men who are not sociopaths have no stomach for trying to manage a grown woman who thinks, feels, and acts like a rebellious teenager. The kind of men she’s attracted to - men who have no problem demanding strict conformity as a condition of the relationship - tend to not be very nice about it. She retcons those relationships as having been “abusive” when the inevitable breakups occur.

Oh well… maybe she’s onto something when she talks about just getting a dog and being alone. If only there had been someone to warn her about that…

Edit: I want to expand my point about the “forever” guy missing out on the part of the relationship where sexual bonding happens: the “honeymoon” period. We talk a lot about how women like her lose their ability to pair bond, but a further complicating factor is that a guy who wifes up a single mother has to start the relationship in the middle. I think it’s unseemly for a married man to talk about his sex life, but I can say that the first year of my marriage to my wife would have been a LOT more restrained if there had been a couple of kids living with us.

This woman has simply not read the script - its a cat she needs to buy, not a dog.

SMDH

Makes me sad to think I'll never have a person that will love me with nothing but good intentions, and I'll do just happen to find them attractive.

Oh god! This is like running a triathlon and collapsing 10 meter short of the finish line.

Also, someone who can voice how they feel, instead of someone who avoids communicating. [...] complained I had to occasionally change plans [...] however, he became more and more demanding unfortunately.

Yeah... More like a single meter from the finish line.

Men on the emotional level of a woman have depression? Say it ain't so!!! Sounds like testosterone: estrogen imbalance if you ask me. After all, testosterone is an antidepressant and inhibits emotions.

I’ve experienced women like this many times. Let me tell you what she’s not saying in her post and how these types really act. IF they ever crossed paths with a “good man” they will either friendzone him but not directly. What they’ll do is use him for dates and attention but knowing it’ll never progress to anything meaningful and if he tries to lead towards any sort of commitment she avoids the topic. They also treat their worn out pussy like it’s goddam gold. No pussy for you but for Chad? Pussy all the time. He gets to treat her like ass and get away with it but you better bend over backwards and help her with bills while you get nothing.

Like others here, I enjoy checking the math on these posts to gauge the level of hamstering.

She's 34 now. Says she came out of a very emotionally abusive relationship(tm) 3 years ago, so she was 31. Says the guy left her for someone 12 years younger after their kid was born. So he left her for a 19-year-old.

Mathematically possible, I suppose, but it seems like a lot of posturing for victimhood status.

EDIT: By the way, if he really did leave for a 19-year-old, she would have specifically mentioned that number, just to paint him as a creeper.

"I seem to pick the wrong kind every time" She does know what the problem is, its just the hamstering then kicks in.

There is really no hope since she has had better than she can hold and this has etched into her mind permanently. Women are the victims of the sexual revolution they pioneered. They are now free to be spoilt to the point where they cannot be satisfied by men they can hold.

I actually feel quite kindle disposed to these two. They are not entitled, so much as sad. I tend to see them more as victims of the car crash of feminism than perpetrators.

I do wonder what emotional abuse is. It could mean so many things for not happy to accepting being bullied. We have all been emotionally abused I suppose but realy was it an offense or was it that we just didn't draw our boundaries firmly enough?

Maybe I should just buy a dog

It would be considerate of you - to spare the rest of the world your self-centered blathering.

OTOH, single mother tears provide us with endless fuel, so carry on and write more rants!
