To think men want love while women want status and both lie about it?

I’m not saying that’s all we want but biologically and socially, it seems true. Men crave admiration, women crave security. Yet both dress it up as “connection” or “chemistry.” AIBU to think honesty about that would make dating less confusing?

It’s not meant to be misogynistic, I’m saying both men and women have social conditioning that shapes how they love and what they prioritise. It’s more about honesty in dating dynamics than putting one gender down.

And now you have the honest answer! Overwhelmingly people disagree with you! Hope you can sleep easy now!

Just clicked to see if it is the same three worder who posts this daily and yes it is!

Incel alert. Clearly OP thinks he is entitled to any woman he fancies, and is annoyed that these women choose men other than him.
