Would you be OK with your partner trying to get you to get exercise, eat healthy, recommending anti aging and sex drive supplements? If I had a girlfriend I'd try to get her to do those things but not pressure her at the same time. I myself is trying to improve and keep my looks, keep my sex drive and age gracefully so at least there's no double standard.

So I've finally resolved myself to start dating this year, but I feel my views on relationships these days is very pessimistic. Basically I feel that it's completely one-sided on the woman's part, and is little different from the relationship between a master and their servent

For example: If a woman hits a man, She's being strong and is encouraged to do so, if a man hits a woman for any reason even if his life is in danger, he is completely at fault for it.

Some women will cringe at the mere mention of splitting the bill let alone a woman paying for the whole thing, but it's almost expected for a man to foot the entire bill even if he makes less.

If a man cheats on a woman, he is a horrible unfaithful human being. If a woman cheats on a man, it's because the man didn't love her enough and give her enough attention.

And

2. Being someone's subservient boytoy, is still better then spending your life alone provided you get to choose your master as stated above.

So is this an overly cynical view of dating?

Bumble recently added new filters, with the only physical one being height, something that is predominantly used by women to judge men. There's no weight or breast size filters, presumably because men aren't allowed to be shallow but women are. Is this not a double standard? This goes beyond Bumble though, women are encouraged to find the "man they deserve" which is typically your handsome Prince Charming, but if a man dare desire an attractive woman he is typically ostracized for it.

Someone will notice what I'm doing ;). I'm
