Trying to solve the mystery of why there are so few women looking for dates

The reason why there are more men on dating sites is because we’re starved for affection. We’re only worth something if we can prove it, women have value by existence. Women are pretty much told by society that you can be anything, do anything, you’re beautiful no matter what and we have copious support groups for you. Of course I’m not saying women have it easy, it’s just that this is the roar that echoes through society nowadays. Men on the other hand, well let me put it this way, prostate cancer is more likely to happen to men than to women (lol while true I meant prostate cancer is more likely to happen to men than breast cancer is to women)… which movement is more popular? Think about the male suicide to female suicide rates in our country, males die by suicide three to four times more often than females do. We’re less likely to get a college education, yet if you look into college support groups they’re all for women and minorities, men aren’t encouraged and supported by any group based on gender. If you’re a man you’re more likely to be homeless, because again, you’re worthless until you prove otherwise. Men are simply starved for someone to tell them they’re worth something, that they deserve love and affection. Therefore they search for someone to fill the void society couldn’t.

Ngl divorce courts have basically incentivized not getting married. Funny how that works lol but if a guy get married chances are when they split the girl will get everything. Even if there is a prenup they wont even let the guy take what is his. They basically snatch his wallet and say its only fair she get half. I mean it can go both ways. But im being honest you will probably never see that situation. Ultra rare cases at best

"prostate cancer is more likely to happen to men than to women…" I agree. lol

@auntron_ Believe it or not, the person who taught me about male expendability, and how much of an issue it was happened to be the first feminist I sat down to talk to. This was an issue they cared about and were trying to bring to light before gamer gate when the narrative got hijacked. Yes, it's a real issue, but the reason so many feminists these days loose their shit when they hear about it is that it generally is used to justify some rather horrific reasoning. Then you have the younger Zoomers getting in who weren't there long enough to know about it, and it just sounds like toxic masculinity to them. Trust me though, I'm with you on this one.

Vanilla thanks for the dating vocab lesson, but no worries, I was only confused when I was starting off and have learned a lot since then for better or worse lol. It still amazes me as to how complex dating has become. I grew up in the days when your biggest concerns were having the courage to ask a girl out and then hoping she'd say yes. These days there are about 4 pages worth of things to consider before asking someone out and if you somehow beat the lottery-like odds against you and get the girl, then you still have to be concerned with things ranging from not violating the tenets of the #MeToo movement to proper pronoun usage (who knew English class would be useful for dating?)

@Panda-kun Ok, I'm gonna go off-topic of my own thread here, but ya divorce law is absolute BS. Thankfully, despite the horrible divorce experience she put me through and her initially threatening to do so, in the end my ex lightened up and she didn't try to sue me or such and after I moved out and the divorce went through we were able to part on good terms, which given how angry she was while we were married really surprised me but hey I gotta give credit where it's due. I'm lucky things didn't get ugly. Still, marriage and divorce regulation are unconstitutional and should be abolished. The 1st Amendment clearly states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" and modern day marriage was established by the Catholic Church during the Council of Trent in the 1560's and the people who wrote the U.S. Constitution were religious men so marriage is a literal establishment of religion and thus our gov. has NO right to pass laws regarding it OR divorce, since divorce is about ending that religious rite. Harshly penalizing people for no longer participating in a religious ritual, especially when it is enforced in a very sexist manner, is definitely Cruel and Unusual Punishment which violates the 8th Amendment. Divorce laws often force the man to work for his ex-wife against his will by forcing him to keep working and hand over a significant portion of his income to his ex-wife. The 13th Amendment specifically abolished "involuntary servitude" and divorce law blatantly violates this.

@verucassault Lmao XD, see there’s no disputing my amazing logic hahaha. Yeah my bad, I meant it’s more likely for men to get prostate cancer than for women to get breast cancer, just woke up so yeah :p.

@auntron You raised a lot of good points earlier so lemme add one: if you are a husband in a bad situation, good luck getting help. This happened to me on one occasion long ago back when I used to be married when things got ugly and my now ex threatened to destroy my stuff and got a bit physical about things. Sure, I'm a dude and I'm bigger than her and can defend myself, but everyone has to sleep sometime and you can't defend yourself when you're asleep. If anything happened to her during a fight, I knew full well it probably wouldn't matter that I didn't start it nor was I being the least bit physically aggressive, the cops would blame me anyways. Also, in the back of my mind lurked the thought that she was quite familiar with the story of John and Lorraina Bobbit (she cut off his penis) and given how angry she was, if that thought came to her mind the word "bad" wouldn't begin to cover it. So I gathered up some of my more important things and left for the day. I called a friend to see if I could crash at his place, but it was Saturday and he was at the bar and no response probably because he left his phone in the car or he couldn't hear it ring inside the bar. I didn't have anyone else with their own place to call at that time so I figured I'd try to call an abuse shelter. I politely explained my story, but the shelter was for women only (sex discrimination much?) and they refused to take me. I asked to sleep on the floor in a hallway or some area away from the women and I offered to give them my personal info so they could background check me and see I have a clean record, but they refused to help. I asked where should abused men call for help and the woman had no answers for me and was pretty much lacking in any sympathy. It was spring and still kinda cold out, but I ended up somewhat sleeping in my car. Thankfully my friend got my message after he left the bar and showed up around 2:30am and I stayed at his place.

Either the women pair off quickly or are scared off by creeps. Then you got a few weird ones who stick around cause they like the site. https://c.tenor.com/Ev7Wy4W-bpQAAAAC/anime-konata.gif
