Over the years I’ve seen plenty of guys (myself included) gripe about women (especially western women). To a certain extent lots of our grievances are justified considering what feminism has done to western culture.
I have and always agreed with the premise of giving opportunities to women in traditionally male dominated spheres. But as feminism evolved (or should I say devolved) it now more often enables women to be their worst vs. be their best. Usually to the expense of men too but ultimately to the unhappiness and misery of women themselves
With all the said I fully believe there is a deeply engrained evolutionary reason why women tend to be much more selfish in dating.
There was a long time in history women had to use their sexuality to their advantage for both self-preservation and protection of their children. They had fewer opportunities then men and also aren’t as physically strong hence they had to make to with what they had to survive (e. g. manipulation vía sexual attraction). This also a reason why they cared much more about a man’s wealth and prominence. It would ensure her well being and increased survival.
Nowadays in western culture most if not all that bs female manipulation is no longer necessary. Women are not only given ample opportunity to make money but encouraged and supportive via college admissions and scholarship processes. Corporations often want to hire women over men to look “diverse”. The “wage gap” is a proven myth.
Despite the equal opportunities there a DNA instincts that still influence behavior to be more picky with men and to use their sexuality for their own one way benefits.
But we got to deal with this the same way you deal with a sociopath (not saying all women are sociopaths). A sociopath at default is incapable of feeling remorse, guilt, etc. Yelling at them won’t change anything. Instead you have to interact with them carefully. Same with how to deal with women. Love them but be very careful to trust them.
I guess the bottom line is whatever the woman’s emotional judgment for you IN THS MOMENT is all that matters. You could of been the best boyfriend/husband for 10 years. But if she’s pissed off, bored or loses respect for you legitimate reasons or not then she will self justify screwing you over.
As men it’s hard for us to understand that. I usually try to judge people holistically.
