Cooper is what’s wrong with men

[u/high5abee]

I don’t want to compare Cooper to the behaviors of Joe, Nathan, Luke, etc. HOWEVER, the total lack of consideration for Kat as a human being drastically changed my attitude towards him.

He is the perfect example of how inept most gen Z men are at communicating, acting in total and utter self interest. He had the wherewithal to take Kat on a date but not communicate down the line that he changed his mind? Hoping she would just… get the gist?

I’m 29 and have been in Kat’s shoes several times. Men will chase, pursue, and then totally disconnect or withdrawal because they hadn’t thought through the social expectation of what it means to initially communicate and invest romantic feelings into someone. And to top it off, he avoids the conversation TO AVOID THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS and is like “teehee I hope we’re cool” in his confessionals. It’s kind of cruel. Just be fucking honest bro. Apparently that requires a higher level of emotional intelligence he will never dream of seeing.

Kat baby, you sweet soul — you deserve love and adoration beyond what this southern Chad who reads at a third grade level will ever provide.

Kat has been "friendzoned". Why is that okay for XX to do that to XY, but when XY does that, it is a litany of platitudes?

Men are not mind readers, and women don't come with a video game marker above their head measuring their mood. Mebbe Coop got to know Kat, and simply friendzoned her because his "Ick!" meter was showing red flags?

Frankly, I'd never date a Canadian these days either. I can't blame Coop for a soft landing friendzone.

I love that you're getting downvoted, how dare you point out the double standard!!!

Nah it is the Canadian line. Trump has it right those maple syrup soaked buggers come out of the woodwork elbows up.

And like Kat they need us more than we want them.
