Why is it more acceptable for a girl to have no goals in life than a guy?

[Anonymous]

I've noticed this. In my opinions I think, someone (man or woman) that has no life skills nor any goals in life isn't a suitable partner. Someone that doesn't want to get better is someone that won't motivate you to get better yourself either. That's someone that isn't gonna grow as a person with you nor work as a team together.

If a guy has no job, relies on his parents to do everything for him and the only thing he can offer in a relationship is being romantic and nice, he's booted. Yet, it's ok if a girl is like that, bringing to the table but her pretty face and being sweet.

For some men the biggest value the girls have is their temporary youth, beauty, body and sex.

"Goals". That could be anything. Poor but artistic or rich but busy all the time. Or a balance of either. Let's assume it is nothing out of anything.

Those are usually financial disasters or waiting to inherit assets from the others.
And the men, who fall for their youth, beauty and bodies (we call these girls bimbos)?
They probably deserve having their assets drained. I mean nobody told them to marry them or pay for them (other than the bimbo/gold digger herself). Who were these men complaining about again? Was it those women, who work and make their own money? Now it's the financial disasters too. They asked for it.

It's not. Every person should have personal goals to strive for. Some girls are slotted for a particular acceptable by society place. Like in the 19th century, girls were thought to be nothing more than breeding machines. Back then one had to have a lot of children to work the farm or lumbermill or whatever. Girls today have infinite possibilities for education and opportunities. My oldest has her Ed. D and is a principal in a school district whereas her sister has her Masters in Art History. There is nothing a woman can't achieve as is shown by our latest Vice President.

I don’t know that it’s more acceptable but I think a lot of women prioritize their love life. It’s why women will choose a college to be by their boyfriend or not go at all. Why women will leave a job to follow their husbands opportunity. So if I’m a relationship they may appear to be not goal oriented. I pretty successful in my career life especially compare to a lot of the people I grew up with. But I’ve always had really bad luck in love. And be 100% honest I’d trade it all if I could go back if I knew I’d be a wife and a mom at my age. It’s something I really want but I don't know how to achieve it so I throw myself into my job.

I am of the same view as you - anyone not having any goals isn’t acceptable in my opinion. As for why it used to be acceptable for women not to have any goals, I imagine it’s because back in the day, women were only expected to tend to children and a household.

Because for many men, ok looks, presence of functional sexual organs (and the willingness to make use of them) and not driving the guy crazy, are really the only requirements for a partner.

That's probably true for like 60~70 percent of all men, and thus it has become the accepted norm.

It's sad. Sex is short-lived once beauty goes away. I imagine if more men had more standards, less women would quality.

"Sex is short-lived once beauty goes away."

That sounds like quitter talk to me. If I love someone I will bone them until my heart gives out of old age.

It's really sad, and I wish it weren't the case. If women can get away with not having to try in life, they're going to keep up that behavior. I feel like male simps are the ones enabling their behavior. Ruining it for the rest of us guys who want quality women.

I don’t think this so the case in all honesty and I’m surprised you’re saying this if you really are female. Like attracts like, so those with similar ambition will be drawn together for the reasons you’ve mentioned. That’s just how it is, it’s not really about gender apart from the exceptions or cultural differences from the western world.

That is an effect of the patriarchal society. If a girl decides to be a pretty housewife, there are guys who would love to breed her. While if a guy decides to stay back and be a homemaker, he will worse than an incel

Personally I don't believe it's true I think everybody needs to have something that they're shooting for girl or guy

I think as long as your partner can pay rent, why are you judging them by a system of meritocracy?

[Anonymous]

Because hasn't yet shrugged off the sexism of the past

[OddBeMe]

I don’t find this is true. We all have goals.
