For more than a few women that I know, "Compromise" means "I do what I want, when I want, and as often as I want". Any disagreement makes you a misogynist. I try and avoid them like the plague.
Unsurprisingly, many of them are single. "No men want me, what's wrong with all of them?". Those that are married are married to men who are a nebbish, or in a few cases, never at home - travelling for work, etc.
Anyone here on FR with a successful marriage knows that it's a ton of hard work, and constant compromise on both sides. And, in my particular case, the most worthwhile thing that I've done other than raising WBill Jr.
Today’s culture teachers teach women hypergamy is aok! So “just being” and not lifting a finger is just fine in a relationship; and if he does not like it - hes a misogynist, narcissist, whatever. Its really bad advice.
I tried to get married once.
She said no and then broke up with me.
A year later I caught her getting felt up by some other woman.
I don’t feel quite so bad now. Learned my lesson about being patient to make sure that there aren’t bombshells like that.
Still lonely, though.
