Tom Brady retired... but he just can't... stop... so he's back to football again. That appears to have stressed his wife and relationship. Why can't we just stay strong men forever?

I have the same challenges... getting older, my mind wants to do what I did as a kid, but I pay the price physically quite easily. It sucks to lose our strength.. here's my testosterone?

I've seen this happen to others... where the guy wouldn't stop what gave him that "rush" and it cost them their wives. Notice how the word "wive" is close to "wise"... the women see us and have wisdom. There's a time to quit... how do you determine "that time" without stressing out your mate?

Tom... it's time to retire, easy for me to see... Play some flag football, coach some games. If his relationship is messed up and emotions are off, he's not going to play well anyways. Why go out seeing yourself fade... go out on top!

This is just something I'm curious about and on my mind now. SO MANY WOMEN on GAG imply they have realistic standards and "just want a good man," yet so many others imply how they refuse to date short men or shorter-than-them, men who aren't wealthy (they justify it as "being independent/financially stable;" that's just code for "rich"), has rock hard abs, is an Alpha Male or asshole in personality, and so on.

When you look at the stats, 27-33 percent of men over 18 nowadays are still virgins. (Varies by region, but basically one-third of all modern Western men.) And while all this male loneliness and suicide is making feminists very, VERY happy, it's not a good overall sign for modern society.

Most men haven't changed much over the years, aside from the soyboys, "NuMales," and loser simps on OnlyFans. But women have changed drastically over the last twenty years; and generally for the worse. They are way more entitled, demanding, and arrogant now, due to a variety of different things such as feminism, social media, dating apps exaggerating their egos, simp culture and OF, and a lot of other factors. Respectable, classy women are becoming more and more rare nowadays, and the 'MODERN BITCH' is becoming more and more common.

This isn't even getting into how many women are lesbians (queer; "bis exual") or just hate all men (feminists) nowadays. It's more than just straight women being extremely entitled and spoiled. How many straight women are even still around anymore?

So, while this post is mostly for men, I'll leave it open to everyone. What do you think about modern straight women's expectations for men?

I feel you... hope you are going to be alright

Personally, I've noticed a habit of mine is that I will download and uninstall Tinder routinely, say every few months, and particularly when my S. O. and I are fighting a lot or are in a bad place, and I'm just super frustrated with her.

I am somewhat thinking, "Here are the other possibilities. Maybe they would not be so frustrating."

And sometimes I also get cocky and narcissistic like, "I'm worth so much. I bodybuild naturally, six pack, 5'11 close enough to '6, and I have a classy tech job in Cybersecurity, and I'm focused on infinite personal growth spiritually, mentally, physically, intellectually. I have ~~~ size, if you catch my drift. I'm giving. I do the housework on top of it, and I have a good mixture of feminine and masculine characteristics. I started going to therapy to get better, too, because I can get irritable. I'm soft when need be and hard when fun or needed. And, I constantly get better. What is she really bringing to offer that I can't find elsewhere?"

I know it's fucked up, but it's just in those moments when our relationship is super stressed. I always come back and fix it, and she always ends up open to conversing, going on 3 years.

We both love each other, but this pattern keeps playing itself out. We always fix what gets broken. We rupture, but we also repair, and I think long-term that's what relationships are all about: being able to repair.

Fundamentally though, I'm wondering at what level of "microcheating" or just how damaging my actions would be, and whether I need to work on changing that. I feel a bit guilty, but also not. To me, it seems just a bit more than looking around at other people in public. Like, hey, there's an attractive person I'm going to glance at for a moment.
