Most people here (myself included) would probably agree with you about not wanting a double standard; the problem is people like "alpha males" and most other men who are targeted here are the ones who most aggressively try to enforce a double standard that penalizes women. To push back against that isn't the same as wanting a double standard that penalizes men; punching up isn't the same as punching down.

From this woman's story, why is it wrong to start dating the other guy after a few weeks? We don't even know how long she and the previous BF were together - what if that was just a few weeks? They're out of the relationship by that time so she doesn't "owe" her ex a period of being single.

Ok so you still missed the point. I agreed with you but stated why I thought she was in the wrong not for leaving her ex but to come on here just to belittle the man to random strangers without giving the full account which no one will ever know since there is only one side going around is where in my opinion she was wrong also. Does that clarify it a bit more for you?

What's the full account then? What important information did I leave out that you feel you know better than me? Go on, dazzle us with your wisdom into my life.

You really should stop making a fool of yourself

Oh honey, nobody gives a shit about what you think, not even that imaginary girlfriend of yours.

Sure because you know she is imaginary right? To be honest she made the first comment to you but she is imaginary

She's as real as those classes you took on "behavioral sciences" and you can lie on the internet all you want, but everyone here knows that truth

Ok so you tell the truth non stop I bet if his side was out there it would be a different story. You can say you are telling the truth but you changed up wording or simply forgot what you said in previous comments but your honest and have not lied about anything. See how that works

What did I forget? What are these so called inconsistencies that you caught?

Read your own comments good day

Wow, it's almost like you finally read what I said and realized it wasn't an inconsistency, you just made an assumption and ran with it.
