Perhaps a more apt question for you is "why wont women lower their standards for me?"

I completely agree with Greg. I've only ever been called difficult by people who could not be disciplined enough to meet my standards. Those who are mature have had no issues with them. What do I ask for? Loyalty. Mutual respect. A true partnership. Similar values. I've never asked for anything I don't bring to the table. Those are not impossible standards but the immature folks still complain.

I once had one scream that I was a b*tch and would always be alone because I said I wouldn't take back a cheater. If all men cheat as he claimed; then, I would rather be alone. I'm not lowering my standards to accommodate disrespect.

Or desperate, we girls don't just choose anyone, if you are desperate or have a **** personality then chances are you won't get any girl, that's the brutal truth

When looking for a serious partner, looks are nowhere near as important as a person's personality and views. What if something happens in the future and a person's looks fade? Will the relationship die? No. The bond you share through that person's personality is what will keep the relationship going. You should aim to love not just their appearance but their presence.

Rather than being upset about modern women’s high standards, I suggest that you work hard to meet them. The life of a man is ultra-competitive.

Here are some pointers:

1. Go to the gym
2. Get your resources up.
3. Strive to be the best version of yourself.

I have an extra one. When you get to the top, make sure you have multiple women. Don't settle for one female.

Thanks, I won't go to the gym much though as it's boring and I don't want to be bulky.
Don't listen to a guy who calls women "females" or dead seriously recommends Andrew tate oh geez. Women aren't a prize to be won.


OP, I suggest you focus on yourself for now, you can be happy and fulfilled without a relationship!
Find hobbies that make you happy, try new things, from cooking or hiking or gardening to woodwork or coding or lifting at the gym, anything at all!
If you find some things that really make you happy, you're bound to come across people who like those things too, and eventually you might hit it off with a woman in those circles!!
The patriarchy hurts men as well, so do your best to break out of the crueler bits. It can be hard, but it's so rewarding to be able to have fun without caring about judgment.
There is no honour in suffering. Being truly strong is to find your own happiness free from the pressures of what it means to be a "man" in the eyes of sexists.
Love yourself for who you are, not for what the world says you should be because of your sex. If you do that, then there'll be people out there who love the real you as well.
Best of luck OP :smile: don't let the world get you down.

Sorry if some of my wording is weird, I'm very tired today lol.

It's not nice to be quizzed on how long you been a member of a dating site, then assessed for popularity by the length of time, them accordingly ghosted. Talk about particular and shallow in judgement.

With a personality that leads to such conclusions as "if women are not into me it must be because they have impossible standards", I'm thinking that may be the bigger issue.
Some, not all.

PRSOM.

Any guy who actually likes Andrew Tate's way of viewing women is an automatic no in my books. We are not commodities or prizes. We're humans.

You'd be surprised how many guys think this at times.

Get over yourself, you don't have a right to take a girl to bed just like that, if they ghosted you then they are not into you, move on
