Why I'm Giving Up On Men

[Anonymous]

Inspired by a number of lovely takes about why some men have decided to give up on women.

I thought that in light of all these, I should share my 2 cents too.

All Men Are Evil

I don't think I need to explain much here as anyone with a brain can see that all men are evil.

They do things like:

* send unsolicited dick pics

* catcall

* pump and dump girls

* have no emotions

A Few Guys Are Going to Ruin It

I've had a handful of bad experiences with guys, and I am going to let them ruin any chance in the future with men.

My experiences have consisted of:

1. In grade 6, I told a guy that I liked him, and he told everyone he thought I was ugly.

2. A year ago, I asked a guy out and he said yes, only to tell me a day later that he doesn't really like me and he just said yes because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. A shitstorm ensued, and he called me a lot of really nasty names.

3. I really liked this guy and I thought we were gonna date, but he ended up choosing to date another girl. Following on from that, he almost immediately tried to make me his 'side chick' by what I'd describe as emotional cheating, and trying to initiate physical cheating too.

4. I hooked up with a guy at a party, he asked me on a date the next day, and then after making it clear I wasn't interested in a friends with benefits, he tried to use me anyways.

So yeah, I've had a pretty rough time, and I'm a victim of the evil ways of men.

All Men Care About Is Sex

Enough said. Stop being such horndogs and show some emotion please.

You're Secretly Submissive

You're all submissive, and just pretend to be dominant because you think that's what will get women to like you. None of you are true alphas, unless of course, @Chico_brah.

I think you all secretly want a dominatrix to boss you around as well.

So, in conclusion, I'm giving up because I want to be pathetic. I am going to avoid men at all costs.

** This take was satire for those of you that don't understand sarcasm, I hope you found this entertaining. My point is to highlight how stupid all these takes men have been writing about 'giving up on women'.**

[Anonymous]

I love this. Those guys who write those myTake are absolutely pathetic. If a woman did the same thing they would be the first to lunge at her neck and call her a stupid feminist. So... only guys can give up on women? Women can't do the same because of societal pressure? Okay. Lol.

[nojogrant]

If a women did the same thing no one would care. Our society places pussy on a pedistal when it comes to dating.

[nojogrant]

I'm not hating on the post or anything, personally I think it's kinda pathetic that people make these posts too, but for the most part men place pussy on the pedistal

[Opinion Owner]

And lol at all the guys who think this post is serious

[nojogrant]

You talking about me?

[Opinion Owner]

@nojogrant nope

[Jamesol1]

No one said she can't give up on men. And women often say the same stuff.

[Opinion Owner]

@Jamesol1 Because it's pathetic for both genders.

[Jamesol1]

Yeah agreed.

[TayTay21]

Girls say things like this all the time, they just don't do it on the internet. Every one of my girlfriends has told me at some point that she's giving up on men.

[Opinion Owner]

@TayTay21 anecdotal evidence

[Jamesol1]

@TayTay21 Well men generally use internet forums more. Only on GAG are there this many women. Why? Guys play video games a lot (theres more to it then that but yh)...

[Opinion Owner]

@Jamesol1 thanks for the downvotes. :)

[TayTay21]

You clearly don't have any friends, honey.

[Opinion Owner]

@TayTay21 I do but I don't go off of anecdotal evidence

[Waffles731]

look at all the people who didn't know it was satire

[myTake Owner]

It's funny how triggered people are getting tbh

[Anonymous]

You serious? Sounded like a troll thread. I knew you weren't serious the moment I read "This take was satire for those of you that don't understand sarcasm, I hope you found this entertaining. My point is to highlight how stupid all these takes men have been writing about 'giving up on women'."

It was indeed worth some good laughs. I have to give you credit for that.

Meh, if people wanna quit, then go ahead and quit. If men give up on women, and if women give up on men, then those men and women might be secretly in the closet the whole time anyway LOL j/k

But I think for guys that have the money can have things easier in terms of they can always just spend the money on escorts and get a girlfriend experience or something if they don't want to be in a serious relationship, at least I believe that would be more honest than screwing over some girl that wants a serious committed relationship by ditching her after sleeping with her. But that's just from my own perspective.

They can give up on relationships, although not entirely on sex, since they can still pay for sex.

As for ladies, I don't know. I'm not sure how often they would use an escort service compared to guys that could afford to.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I gave up on women. Who cares? Oh wait, there are people on the internet who care enough to insult me about it … This wasn’t even funny. This was offensive towards all men, not just to those who gave up. I don’t care that you put a satire disclaimer at the end. If your main intention was to make me change my mind then you definitely failed. I personally think giving up on women is more honorable than writing a myTake that’s trying to mock men for giving up on women. There is this thing called freedom of choice. Does that sound like Chinese to you? It’s okay to think that myTakes about giving up on women are pathetic. There are plenty of myTakes with titles that I think are pathetic but I don’t pay much attention to them because I truly don't care.

[RJMusickid]

@Library Just a thought: I don't think her main intention was to get you to change your mind. She also gets to exercise freedom of choice by cleverly mocking things she finds ridiculous.

[Library]

@RJMusickid Whatever, I don't know and idc. If her main intention was to insult people then that's just pathetic. And I know and I also get to exercise freedom of choice by telling her that it's ridiculous to mock people for something like this... Smh at white knights these days.

[Anonymous]

if there are so many of these posts you speak about (and there are because I've also seen plenty myself), then don't you think that maybe there is a problem with this new generation of women today? I don't think you get it from a guys POV so let me enlighten you on it. You women, are the choosers. The man must go up to the women if he has any intentions of dating her (obviously with the exceptions of a few cases where the women approaches). If a man gets rejected time after time again because he has been told that he is too unattractive, then the problem is simply that he is unattractive, which he cannot fix. The more the guy gets rejected, the more he starts to understand the problem that he has. The main issue is his looks. A very large majority of women want someone who looks good first, then personality second. You probably already knew that though because after all, you are the chooser. Personality doesn't mean shit if you don't have the looks to back it up and you know this. So please, with all due respect, stop acting like your the victim here and look at stuff from a guys point of view because you'll see that this is why some guys give up on women.

[myTake Owner]

Honestly, I'm not acting like the victim here.
But I think you've got to learn to live with what you've got as well.

[Opinion Owner]

If you live with what I got them I'm not going to get anywhere because what I got is a whole lot of ugly, physically.

"All Men Are Evil"

Yes, we are >:) We are the root of all evil and we invaded your peaceful planet and have constructed our technologies and buildings and roads on it, so we can expand our empire on your lands. Muhahahahaha!

"A Few Guys Are Going to Ruin It"

The exact same logic applies to women.

"All Men Care About Is Sex"

Duh.
What are emotions?

"You're Secretly Submissive"

Submissive? What?
And what do you mean with us not being the first greek letter? I don't know what you are talking about.
Uh, no, not really.

___

OK, I got it. You can be on your way now ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

/s

[Unit1]

Oh yeah, look at the blue comments section o_o seems reasonable to actually give up.

[myTake Owner]

lmao exactly!

[Unit1]

I really feel bad for women now :(

[lumos]

Funny how when a guy writes a SERIOUS, non-satire, mytake like this, he gets nothing but fist bumps and awkward "no homo" man hugs from the male users. But when a girl pokes fun at takes like that by basically copy-pasting the take and changing the word "woman" with "man", all hell breaks lose and guys are running to get the tar and feathers out.
Y'all are cute!!

[jjmarvin]

Come on now that's not true. We're both just as bad as the other.

[lumos]

@jjmarvin sadly it is true...

[jjmarvin]

I think you're just not seeing the guys disagreeing with them. But if you give out an opinion like that, most of them won't take the risk of talking to you, in fear of being stereotyped or attacked. If you want measured and humble men around you, you have to be measured and humble to them. this includes compromise, listening, and not making sweeping statements or sexist jabs. There has to be some sort of halfway point to bridge this petty gender divide.

[lumos]

@jjmarvin never said that there aren't guys who disagree.

[Sorenome]

This is probably one of the most stupid things I have ever read. "All men are X, All women are X, all black people are X"... do you see the idiotic stereotyping here? Just because you attract the assholes doesn't mean everyone are assholes. I'm not any of those things that "all men are", I'm completely opposite. Before you have met every single person in a given category, you can't legitimately say that "All of them are like this".

BUT our society wants men to be like that, and then the guys who are not like that, are more emotional and respectful usually become very insecure, because they are the minority. So it's harder to find them, and they probably even feel that "all women like assholes"

If you expect men to be assholes, your experience will confirm that. We get what we wish for.

[myTake Owner]

*sigh* it's satireeee
I'm trying to point out about how other people make these sort of stupid stereotypes about women.

[Sorenome]

hahaha I didn't read it completely. My bad! :D In that case it was very good :P

[myTake Owner]

Hahaha cheers

[Jjjoooggg]

She sounds kind of young to make such a drastic decision. I waited til I was in my 40's to give up on women. The problem is not that girls and guys are bad. Is that even the nice ones are a challenge because they have trouble trusting others. Which is understandable until you figure out that there will never be a day you can gain trust from some people. And then the ones that are nice and want to give a chance, I believe will fail because of human weakness of discipline or paranoia. Too much work for a relationship that will most likely fail and waste a lifetime of work.

[Notorisch_Arschloch]

Men want women to be nothing more than what's well within the power of every last one of the to very easily be: not fat, loyal, and pleasant.

Women have a list that includes multiple aspects in which a man must be genetically gifted or otherwise in the top 0.1% to even at best warrant not being referred to as creepy for daring to speak in her presence.

Those of us that gave up on women? We didn't. Women gave up on us, as well as their end of a social contract to which they still expect us to adhere. Men are finally giving up their end of that social contract.

Thank you for the mockery. The more you heckle the rational response of not tolerating women who can't even be a fraction of a percent as decent as none of you have any excuse not to be, the more you strengthen our resolve and help show more men that they should follow suit.

[Negrodamuss]

some guys still didn't get that it was satire, despite explicating saying that it was. Fuck... GaG men are retarded

[myTake Owner]

lmfao I love you :')
they are a little retarded lol

[Blanchmess]

Satire? more like mocking people for their decision. Im sure they did not write it as bad as you wrote it

And if they did. That`s a shame. Because nothing will get better if you are grumpy

[davidshaw]

tbf this is just as relatable to what some women send, it's just a different scenario e. g

Some men: "I was nice to her, always gave her gifts, made the right moves and she goes off with another guy? Fuck all women"
Some women: "I used to go out with a lot of men, when some of them would use me for sex and then ditch me, fuck all men"

[Rloco]

Most takes about giving up on men are stupid. But then there are those of who only give up romantically. There is no hatred no feelingerie that girls are mean, just an understanding. An understanding that you're unappealing in a sexually or romantic way. So for the guys who want to prepare for a life without romantic love. Just having the love of friends could be enough.

[Anonymous]

As much as this is "satire" for the sake of shaming... the points many guys make about giving up on women are actually somewhat valid in a lot of cases.

- If you deny that we can be catty, manipulative, and controlling, you are lying to yourself.
- A lot of girl use men for money and stability.
- A lot of women use the bias protective agencies of our society to destroy men.
Every day there is some new article or news about a woman accusing a man of something evil only later to be proven a lie. But the damage sticks and she gets away without punishment.

All the items you mentioned as a rebuttal were nonsense and do nothing but solidify the claims some of these guys make about women being children.

If guys want to avoid girls, what does it matter to you? Let it go. Why make an entire post about how much it annoys you?

[Elarra]

"I'm giving up because I want to be pathetic."

Lol, the fuck is happening to this website hahahaha

[myTake Owner]

lmao I was making fun of all the men who give up, because in my opinion I think it is pathetic.

[Elarra]

I know, it was funny, this Take is like... everything I want to say to men who generalize women just to get a reaction from them haha

[myTake Owner]

lmao glad you enjoyed it

[Jamesol1]

''All men care about sex''
I have a friend who like me is average looking. A hot girl asked him if he wants to be friends with benefits... he said no he wants relationships... she tried dating him for a week and she said i just want to be friends with benefits... he told her to ''fuck off'' apparently. the kind of guys you find attractive will determine your experience.

[Alistar]

"All Men Are Evil"

Oh no! She's figured us out.

Quick, Chaps! What was the plan if this happened?

This was the funniest thing I've read all day. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Someone please give this girl a medal.

[myTake Owner]

Thank you! lmaoo

[Cherokeehp]

You're welcome!

[Unit1]

I hereby grant this under 18 pink anon author the medal uhhhm... "Qualified satire article". Sorry, I couldn't think of a better name :]

[Cherokeehp]

@Unit1 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[myTake Owner]

@Unit1 lmao thanks dude

[TayTay21]

lol you must hang around some boring people

[alphadoggystyle]

This was not funny or clever in the least. Deciding to not commit to women anymore is not pathetic at all, deciding to pump and dump women is just smart from a male point of view based on the instincts men and women have.

The only thing pathetic here is that you made this take because deep down you are bothered by the ammount of men ditching women as a whole, while pretending you dont care. Dont start crying now.

[FatherJack]

" All Men Care About Is Sex " ... Your mum wasn't complaining last night !! ... Sorry couldn't resist , my workplace banter is like this !!!

[myTake Owner]

loooool

[FatherJack]

2 humourless feminist downvotes... it's a friggin' JOKE !! At least the OP can appreciate salty humour !!

[JesseBrooks]

I read the satire part, but still there are some women who actually believe this way and vice versa. I read and posted in the aforementioned articles you speak of. This is a deliberate attempt at creating discontent among both sexes by re-igniting that toxic spread of hate. Trolls do this, call it satire all you want. It probably wise to have remained anonymous, although I have a few female candidates who would go through this much typing just to start some shit.
