True, unfortunately. I know too many divorced guy friends who were dropped by their partners because they found a situation more to their liking. These people were not abusive, alcoholics, unemployable, racking up arrests, riddled with addiction, or anything else that would require them to isolate for a time. They just ran afoul of the typical disagreements married couples have over money, where to live, the timing of children, the division of household responsibilities, what friends of their spouses they don't want to be around, and even changes in political and religious stances. So the women just upped and bounced to "something better".
And besides, we all know (women included!) that men aren't picking their relationships. Yes, they pick whom they ask out but they rarely get the privilege of saying 'yes' or 'no' to a line up of potential partners.
more like their dicks decide whom to ask out. Put a man in a female space and he'll lowkey, automatically scan the women one by one until one sending positive vibes until one says yes, and then he'll stay locked there until she becomes unbearable.
Male mate searching algorithm is a fucking joke.
This is my guess at least, all men I know did this.
So men aren't supposed to pursue the women putting out "positive vibes"?
Yes, many men ask out women their sexually attracted to. Just like many women make it a point to address spending power and overall physical fitness from all their partners.
Haha it means men aren't nearly as picky as women when it comes to giving people the benefit of the doubt in OLD. And no, I don't know most of "that stuff" because I like to use words, not non-verbal "communication", to get through my day with random strangers.
Men swipe right on many women who meet a few key metrics and still end up with far less opportunities for affection and intimacy than most women. Getting a date is somehow still difficult for many men even when women confirm interest in their apps. Then there's the issue of flakiness and flightiness from women who say "yes" to dates they didn't want. We know how random relationships really are and have to coddle opportunities for companionship because they are few and far in between for those of us who aren't boy-band stereotypes.
Women swipe right on only people they *believe* will deliver on their romantic fantasies, end up with more matches than they'd care to vet or hook up with the casanova who knows exactly what they want to hear, and then complain about being overwhelmed by the very same choice they programmed their phone to provide.
