I hear men complain how women have the upper hand when it comes to dating, and I'm always trying to tell them that it's because you give it to them.

Dating is a sad thing these days. Men go on Tinder whoring themselves out and swiping right on every woman in hopes that one of them will respond and women go through them like a catalog and pick out the guy she likes the most, dating has become online shopping.

I think men need to stop being so desperate and take control of who they decide to be with. Stop accepting whatever you can get and start going for what they want. Start setting our own standards and find out what they want and look for that.

I haven't dated before because I chose to leave it on the back burner for when I'm ready, and I'm not going to get into it out of societal pressure. I'm also a virgin who only wants to date other virgins, and my loyalty lies with my future love and I want the same in return. That's the standard I put forth and that's what I want and going for, and I have the strength to say no to what I do't want.

Guys, stop letting women rule your entire life and complain about it afterwards. Put you foot down and have self respect.

Ok so for the sake of clarification. My friends name is A and A is dating Z. Z’s ex is D.
A told D that A is dating Z now and A did it because D just wouldn’t let go of his feelings for Z. D was controlling to Z when they were together and took advantage of her kindness and generosity. A could see how D was controlling to Z and is a good judge of character. A did what he had to do in order to ensure that D who is toxic (I agree with what A said) to back off and move on with his life. What do you think? I think A did the right thing but what do you think?
D wasn’t going to stop pursuing Z and Z has issues with asserting herself and is a bit of a people pleaser and D was taking advantage of that
