Search Results: which one would you date

there has been a shift towards encouraging women to make the first move in dating and step into more traditionally male roles. This can be seen in the rise of apps like Bumble, where women are the ones who initiate conversations, and in the increasing acceptance of women asking men out on dates. Whether it is because of feminism or something else, i don't know.

It is not only with dating that women are encouraged to step into more traditionally masculine roles. This can be seen in the rise of women entering fields such as technology, finance, and engineering, which have historically been male-dominated.

ON THE OTHER HAND, Society views negatively men who step into traditionally feminine roles such as homemaking or men who enter traditionally feminine careers such as teaching. These men are usually seen as less masculine or even emasculated for not conforming to traditional gender roles and expectations. They may be subject to ridicule or discrimination, and may find it difficult to be taken seriously or respected in their chosen field. Doesn't this have negative effects? it can also prevent men from being full-time caretakers or homemakers, and prevent them from being involved in the upbringing of their children. Many men already think taking care of their child is "being on baby duty" or "babysitting".

Hey, so I met a guy around 7 yr ago while I was working in a restaurant, he asked for my number &then a few weeks later I got a train to see him for the weekend. We got on really really well but I didn’t sleep with him as wernt officially dating, we spoke for months after but I ended up going travelling& when I got back he had a girlfriend, I ended up in a 3 year relationship but then we both somehow ended up single at the same time, he contacted me (as must have seen I deleted all photos of ex) we went on a date and the date was just amazing I can’t explain the butterfly feeling he gives me. Still didn’t sleep with him as I’m old fashioned and we weren’t exclusive.. anyways after the date I got back with my ex and we didn’t speak. A year later I’m single & he gets in touch asking if I’m okay and randomly turned up at my house with flowers to cheer me up. we end up talking for a few weeks and he’s asking me why I never make effort to talk to him and why he’s always chasing me (he’s a basketball player so I’m kind of wary that he’s talking to loads of other girls & I’m a bit shy I’m nowhere near as hot) by the way we still haven’t had sex but just having a really nice connection. Again he goes radio Silent on me.. so fast forward a few months and he rings me drunk saying I’m the only person he’s ever loved and he’s so nervous around me etc.. I thought I would make more effort with him so I start finally messaging first and stuff and we plan to have a night away and we talk about having sex & it gets quiet passionate. then again he goes radio silent. so a month goes by & after hearing nothing from him he pops up merry Christmas I love you & one day your going to be my wife which is random as hell since he practically ghosted me twice this year? Then after talking every night on the phone he’s gone silent again? am I reading this all wrong does he even like me or what? or am I just not making enough effort? & no he doesn’t have a wife or a girlfriend I know his family

I read it as a let down which when he commented he'd gone out with simple minded overly attractive cheap & sleazy women - one he even called a horror story himself - before is a rather shitty insult.

The thing is, is we had engaging interesting conversation before the date. And I am not unattractive - that is something many people have said. Yes I put on some weight due to Covid but I blatantly told the guy on our date I'm working to loose it, even spending 3 hours each time at gym various times in the week.

If not interested just fucking say so. His text >...

Good morning, I hope you had a nice weekend with some rest and relaxation. I have been innundated with classes the last couple of days.

I also wanted to share X how I’ve been feeling on a different level. I am enjoying getting to know you, what brings you happiness, what drives you and how you add happiness in to the world of others. You are a remarkable person.

I owe it to you and myself to share I’m not certain I feel connected across all levels in regards to compatibility.

These are never comfortable moments to share with someone but I have to communicate this to you and be transparent on where I’m at. I hope you can appreciate this honesty as I would never want to be hurtful by not sharing these feelings.
