The feminist movement is what happened.
They told us these ideas of courtship were relics of an oppressive chauvinist era. Hooking up, abortion, venereal disease and single motherhood are so much better.
Nobody is interested in fostering relationships and there is a dismissive and avoidant mindset amongst most young women. You have to constantly prove your intrinsic value constantly, and are treated as if you are easioy replacable. The level of distrust for the sake of distrust is... the “suspicion” is overwhelming.
It make you just want to throw up your hands and not bother with the whole process.
I know I offer a great deal in terms of a traditional dating relationship... I have been told outright how trustworthy and reliable I am... attentive, kind, loving... but when it comes down to the crux of the biscuit, women don’t really appreciate that... they have their own unrealistic fantasies.
Indeed, funny that. My last attempt at dating was the girl distracted by other guys around and walking off to some other dude to play games checking if if was going to follow her like a puppy dog. Also I have been asked by girls but only to have plans changed on me the last minute.... followed by blue moon 2 am booty calls waking me up in the night. After that they complain they cannot find a guy trusting them or playing counter games.
Yeah. That is the cheap “I get it for free” culture these days. People will get what they pay for.
Considering the state of divorce and family law why would a young man really want to get married?
Its a stacked deck.
For the "Feminists" is surely is as it destroys men and fatherhood and replaces it with governments becoming the Sugar Daddy and running their lives in exchange for scraps of money.
