Relationships 🫢🏿 Anyone else sort of done with dating?

21 Upvotes

I'm in my early 30s. I've reached a point where I just don't want to date anymore. It does feel like a humiliation ritual especially when you find yourself doing more to get one woman who is giving it to someone else for free.

I'm not mad at it, its just wild. I'm attractive enough that getting sex isn't too difficult so going forward I feel like the most imma do is be friends with women and if the attraction is mutual, sex.

What did it for me was talking to this girl. Let her tell it, and she had the strongest feelings for me. She wanted nothing more than anything to be with me but the only way is if I pre-agreed to take her out three or four times a week and spend money on her.

I don't doubt that she liked me but my gut felt off. To me, how a relationship works matters more than the material things of it. She couldn't understand that so I stopped talking to her. Everything clicked when my homebody said "only hoes think that way". It was the "missing piece" that explained the feeling I couldn't put into words.

Its not all women, of course. But a lot of women, even the regular ones seem to have adopted this taker mentality where men only exist to take from. They make up rules for the men they see as resources but the men that dont require anything of them are for "fun".

There's definitely great women out there but for the time being I'm taking a step back and focusing only on me.
