Is this a jaded way of seeing the opposite sex? Anyone else feel this way with dating?

27F, you always hear things like no men are good etc. I’m sure men say similar things about women. But anytime something doesn’t work out (usually doesn’t) when I meet with a guy from a dating app, I usually assume that they’re already onto the next one & forgot about me very quickly. I always feel like most men already have their ducks lined up, maybe are quick to just fulfill their sexual urges. It’s as if I’m not ever gonna cross their mind again, when or should I say if they follow up with me again, it usually doesn’t go well. Men, what are you thoughts on a woman’s mindset with dating and/or casual sex? Feel super disposable?

Yes

No

Depends on the man, but if they don't have to work for sex, then they will see you as disposable. Remember, women are the gatekeepers of sex, and men are the gatekeepers of marriage. Traditionally, each person traded one for the other, but the sexual revolution essentially made it normal for them to give it away without commitment.

The only men who aren't very happy about that are the ones who still want to make that trade, and most men aren't going to complain about getting their end of the bargain without having to commit.

It's probably great for the guys who benefit, for those after a relationship who aren't at the higher end of the attractiveness scale, it's less feeling disposable and more feeling completely unwanted.
