Men who think they're entitled to '10s' when it comes to partners, but they're averaging a 3.
Work harder!

Oh you want a 'gym bunny' girlfriend or 'someone who looks after themselves' .... yet there you are with your beer gut. Oh and she can't go to the gym in case other guys look at her but also she better not let herself go!

Or you want a sexy, confident, earns her own money kinda woman. But after kids can she just also look after them all day, and also work so you're not having to 'pay for her to sit on her arse all day while I work'... but also take care of herself, just not at the gym where others would look at her or where manchild might have to 'babysit' his own kids. Make sure all the housework is also done because 'men don't see mess'... carry the mental load because 'you're better at organising' then perform like a porn star after a day of children, work, cleaning, household management...but not too much because men don't like girls who've 'been around the block'... so maybe be sorta slutty but virginal... toned but not too muscular... parent like you got no job, work like you got no kids... be grateful for any help but also be kind and accept men how they are because 'boys will be boys' and 'men are just like that..'

Get fucked.

Is there something in particular that’s prompted this? Some strange threads about tonight.

Kanaloa · 10/02/2022 00:53

I guess an idea would be not to date them?

I do get what you mean, some people have very high standards but are hypocrites because they don’t live up to those standards themselves. But if you know a man like the one you’re describing then he just sounds unpleasant and it wouldn’t really matter if you were a 2 or a 20, you’d deserve better.

Just my friends telling me about online dating for a start. Swipes of tedious men who want victoria secret model housewives while they go fishing or play golf and beers with the lads. Nothing is appealing about them yet they don't see the hypocrisy in demanding women fit a very specific and shallow type. How about they bring something the table? A personality? Good hygiene? Stability. Rather than... 'my exes are bitches' 'I want a woman that takes care of themselves' 'I like natural beauty...but make sure you've shaved and waxed to look like a dolphin with absolutely no body hair'

Knowing what we know now about the conservatorship, I find the lyrics kind of ghoulish and cruel seeing as she wasn't allowed to even buy a pair of skechers with the millions she was bringing in. Also she wasn't really cooperating with them at that point so most of the vocals on the song are a soundalike singer they hired to replace her.

Yes, that is probably a wise move in your case.

You don't seem to have a very healthy attitude towards men!

I don't have any time for fools who bring nothing and expect more than they offer. So much cheap and chatty males expecting top quality females while presenting themselves like swamp dwellers

I'm very much a natural beauty. Hairy and no make-up. But that's not really what men who say they want natural beauty mean. They mean look like a filtered, poreless, hairless, cellulite free, toned, quaffy haired, impossibly shaped like cola bottle body with zero wants and needs of their own.

While presenting themselves as a turnip with scraggly soiled roots, dad bod minus the kids, personally of a tree stump and needs that must be fulfilled at all times.

Swipe fuck off

Laughing at some of your descriptions, but it's so true with these types. And yet the same men complain when a woman says she only dates tall men 🤣

RantyAunty · 10/02/2022 02:40

More women wise up to the nonsense drilled in their head since childhood and don't tolerate these fools anymore.

Many women are rejecting marriage.

The fools will be left exactly where they belong, alone with their hand.

phishy · 10/02/2022 02:48

I agree, OP. The reaction to your excellent and often accurate post is depressingly expected, OP.

LHReturns · 10/02/2022 02:53

You are either of course. But ‘stud’ - Grin

AgnesNaismith · 10/02/2022 03:41

I like you @IAmAThreeButIWantATen I’ve met a lot of men like this and even saw glimpses in my husband in the early days.

They can all get fucked. Along with the media which encourages and enables them to be this way.

Incel types I agree. He'll be angry and take what they want anyway as they do now. Hence rates of dv and sexual assault are so high.
