(Assuming she is physically attractive to you).

Men complain about getting bored with women (including their partners), get annoyed by their emotional needs and anxieties, get repulsed and frustrated when facing a discussion that is not faced with with logic; complain about women wanting gender equality, thinking they wouldn't do their part or that they wouldn't offer enough on the table in exchange; complain about women being difficult to talk with and "expensive".

Now, imagine a woman who counters the complaints: she shares the same interests as yours with the same depth, has a technical and goal-oriented mindset, is confident and insightful about any topic you open, takes a lot of initiative to drive the day, is not anxious, doesn't feel gender inequality effects, doesn't need a boyfriend (but accepts one), is very logical and assertive during conflicts, coherent, chill and very easy to start any conversation with, men have an unusually very good esteem of her, she manager herself alone by a lot, reasons like a man would, knows what she wants, is generous, trustworthy.

All this can easily come with a cost that is typical of any "too" independent individual: she is sometimes cold and drastic, likes sex but doesn't easily commit to a relationship, doesn't perceive your authority, puts in you in circumstances that imply gender equality, is often too busy for your emotional needs and fully absorbed in her interests, doesn't reply fast to your texts, can't fall for any mind game or power struggles and reads your intentions in advance, doesn't forgive you by just by "missing" you, fights about strongly grounded opinions, is not afraid to offend you with a "no", has male friends she shares interests with, she needs alone-time and if you don't follow her initiatives she leaves you behind.

Is that a cost you would pay?

Personally I can’t. I’m not racist it’s just that I can’t. I mean I can but don’t want to.

Searching for/moving into a new house together (w. child) and attending large family celebrations together, where he will officially meet her entire family (August-December)

This happens to me and three of my friends all the time no matter which one of us is originally talking to them.

My brother did, some of the stuff is pretty freaking neat.

FINA banned high tech swimwear from competitive swimming in 2009, and said that swimwear couldn't cover the arms or lower legs, and that men had to swim topless in just shorts.

Personally, I agree with all these rules. This was because swimsuits were increasingly covering the whole body and made of performance enhancing synthetic materials, so the competition was becoming less about the swimming.

On the other hand, maybe the suits were just helping the athletes perform at their best, and it added an interesting element to the game. What do you think?

(The rules for reference: "For pool swimming competitions swimsuits for men shall not extend above the navel nor below the knee, and for women, shall not cover the neck, nor extend past the shoulder, nor below the knee. All swimsuits shall be made from textile materials.")

Is dating harder when you're 30+

I know men don't like being pressure to start a family but lets say we don't mention it, would some men want kids too and even proceed to it themselves? Can they also feel the urge for a child even if a woman were to not even say anything about it?

Do some men naturally want kids (a family) without the woman mentioning the topic first?

Although we would never have kids ourselves, this is something me and my girlfriends have talked about if we ever did have a son or daughter. Do you think this is okay to set as a chore?

Just curious to know which gender company guys enjoy more

Would you rather date a girl on Instagram than online dating?

He works an excessive amount so I've given him some leeway but honestly I am like what is there to this relationship. He can't even make time for a movie 🙄 and yet blithering about kids, etc
