So, I definitely don't think all women are that way, but there is something to this. It's nothing new, though. Even when we didn't have feminism around, women always wanted the best guy they could get. Just like men want the best woman they can get. We just have some differences in criteria, and generally women can afford to be more picky because there's more demand for them. It's true for men who have great jobs, are very intelligent, good-looking/fit, etc. too. They've got more choice. So the natural consequence of that is you get more picky; because you can.

All of those can be applied to men as well

Yes, USA women ARE mostly two-faced venal, conformist..., and feminism to most of them means they're NEVER supposed to be criticized by us for any of that.

But let's not pretend we guys aren 't generally uninformed and unable to see through what our media spoon feeds us.

The girls have a point here.

I feel where you're coming from! It's because they want to use that man to make up for their own shortcomings.

People often look for in a partner aspects about them they want more of in themselves. A dumb person who doesn't want to be seen that way may subconsciously prefer people with higher intelligence than what they have as their intellect can influence them as a person. They can therefore have more knowledge of things through listening, even if they can't get involved in the subject at the time themselves. Sometimes, this isn't the case and it is just through how we are brought up and the media which influences people to look for an intelligent partner to have 'intellectual' conversations with, even if they are missing this trait themselves.

It is counter intuitive but their perspective is just as valid as anyone elses. Hope this gives you a better understanding.

Actually... it's not really a gender thing.
Both genders are capable of wanting certain things they don't uphold themselves.
Ever heard of double standards?
That's what you're thinking of and unfortunately your fellow male gender is just as guilty of this in situations.

I have noticed this as well especially in this country, women demand things they don't provide. You demand confidence and a fun man but they are dumb and boring themselves.

Well, firstly you're stereotyping women based on what?3 experiences... Yeah probably because based on what you seem like you can only get 3 'experiences. Secondly there are great women in the world and great historical FEMALE figures, maybe there are more things that men have achieved but that's probably because women have had to fight to be accepted in society, they have had to fight to be heard, to share their ideas. Women have been discriminated against for a long time and clearly still are. Before you complain about females think about the great stuff they have done and also before you start say that women should stop bitching about everything, you should stop bitching too!

Are you surprised that people want to date someone that is out of their league? That is human nature.

The women in which you speak of is not the majority. There are plenty of women who are capable of intelligent conversations, it's just that the dumb-ass girls are more vocal and noticeable

Who the fuck are you talking about?
Every woman is unemployed, cries easily, fat, and stupid? Its quite obvious you're referring to some specific women.

Its not feminism. Quit blaming everything on feminism. I want a guy who I can have intelligent conversation with. And I'm not anything that you described above.
