Lets say a male is dating another male... but that person is converting to a different gender... whom knows which one.

That can be really messed up if the first male didn't know the other other wanted to change in the first place, causing sexual frustrations. They may be confused themselves on their gender identity... maybe they should switch too, causing the other to lose interest?

Add to it, the person they are dating could be putting an emotional burden on them about how people don't like trans people and they call trans people mentally ill. Hurting the feelings of the partner might invoke the first person to fits of hatred and rage... pride... enough to do harm to others.

It all seems nuts, but in this mindset, it seems they may act out... and feel good about what they did.. because they are confused and kind nutty in the first place. Maybe they kill someone to defend the honor of their gender changing mate? It be justified to some to silence the voice harming the one they care for, might even feel good about it, but later, confused. People have been known to kill on command from others. doesn't' take much.

Lastly, do you think such people caught up in such gender, sexual, and relational confusions might possibly... have mental illnesses lurking? Like... some deeper issues that distort reality?

It's girls ask guys... so seems a valid psychological question.

It strikes me... without a reference point for what is sane, it's difficult to have that... sanity...

It's all conjecture...

A decline in mutual respect, freedom, and trust in modern relationships — especially among Millennials and Gen Z — is causing love to fail and servitude to rise in its place.

I think mutual respect, freedom, and trust are clearly declining in modern relationships, especially among Millennials and Gen Z, and the data backs it up.
• Respect: Emotional labor is heavily imbalanced. Studies note that women often carry the “mankeeping” burden (managing the relationship’s emotional/social side), while only 12% of men over 30 say they feel fully valued by their partner (The Week, 8 at the Table). Both sides feel disrespected—men for their sacrifices, women for their roles.
• Trust: Gen Z is drifting into “situationships”—36% say they’re unsure how to even define their relationship (American Survey Center). Add in politics, which has become a dating deal-breaker (Newsweek), and it’s no surprise trust between men and women is eroding.

• Freedom: Gender role expectations still dominate. Research across 29 countries shows when men lose jobs in “male breadwinner” cultures, the risk of separation skyrockets—not because of money, but because freedom from rigid roles doesn’t really exist (PMC study). Men feel trapped in provision/protection, while women feel pressured to “do it all.” Both blame the other for limiting their freedom.
• Relationships overall: Gen Z is disengaging—described as a “relationship recession” by researchers. Many are opting out of dating or even intimacy altogether (UCL, The Guardian). Pew found 63% of men under 30 are single, compared with 34% of women (Vox). That gap itself shows massive distrust and disconnect.

So when respect, trust, and freedom are all crumbling, what’s left? Love can’t survive under those conditions. What you get instead is obligation and servitude, one partner bending to the other’s demands just to keep the relationship going.

it doesn't have to be the case 100% of the time and it doesn't have to be based on what is considered tall globally. a 5'8 guy is tall in Guatemala. so I'm not asking your opinion on whether or not guys under 6' are illogical. I'm asking if there is a higher degree of logic in tall men in your experience. I do know women rate tall men are more intelligent than average even though IQ is the same. which is another thing to clarify, someone who is relatively stupid can actually be more logically oriented than someone who is highly emotional and smart. Einstein famously believed playing violin cultivated a healthy balance of emotionality and logic
