Wow. What a really tone deaf piece. No mention of the sacrifices women make in their careers or lives to be mothers/wives AND have to deal with husbands that are weaponizing incompetence while being more interested in playing video games etc. No mention of men who frankly don't put in the actual emotional labour it takes to make a succes…
Wow. What a really tone deaf piece. No mention of the sacrifices women make in their careers or lives to be mothers/wives AND have to deal with husbands that are weaponizing incompetence while being more interested in playing video games etc. No mention of men who frankly don't put in the actual emotional labour it takes to make a successful relationship. No mention of how sick women are of doing all of that labour and raising kids, and keeping house, and and and the list goes on. Why on earth should women even bother dating? Why shouldn't our standards be high? Why should we settle? To what purpose and to what end? To the benefit of the mediocre men who don't want to work on themselves? No thanks. I am very ok with being single forever.
In addition, the author strikes me as protesting a wee bit too much that "Men Are Happier Than Women" - he must be cherry picking data pretty carefully since there are now a number of studies citing how unhappy and lonely men are.
You're an individual, you can find an individual you like, even love. I did, yep, a man who doesn't play video games, weaponize incompetence, puts in emotional labor...but maybe go to therapy first to unload all the baggage you have towards men and relationships because it sounds like you're determined to be unhappy. Sorry I know harsh. And yes you do have to sacrifice in relationships. But it's worth it. True love does exist.
But I agree I think in general men are more unhappy than women in society as a whole.
Actually, I have very little baggage towards men or relationships. I just don't care enough to commit anymore. The thing that had me incensed is this pathetic take on why people stay single. It isn't "swipe" culture.... it is however women knowing they deserve more and better.

It's women who have made things more difficult for themselves.
