Says the female. Make a guy profile and just for fun try hitting on someone prepare to be shocked and amazed that your not getting anywhere. Especially in a deadend town!
Before I ask, I want to clarify something. I do not live in my mothers basement. I am not a part of MGTOW. I am 38, single, work out everyday, well above 6 feet tall, and have a wonderful job where I have a more than comfortable income living in NYC. I have lived abroad in three countries, MBA, and both of my parents are together today, in which I was raised as my father as the bread winner and my mother the care-giver. The had me, by accident, at a very very young age, with nothing. I had a front row seat to what a man is in watching my father work two and three jobs to drag us out of poverty. My mother managed the money and took care of the home and me, lovingly. I was and am very lucky. I know how to grocery shop, clean, cook, do laundry, manage finances....and build a house from the ground up with the garage full of tools and tractor I own. I don't mean to drag on, but after reading some of the comments and responses, I wanted to give a basic outline of myself and not be thrown in with Mgtow stereotype
But at this juncture, male-female relationships are still very much alive. I work with young women who have boyfriends with whom they feel comfortable and happy; their relationships appear to be healthy and reciprocal. You will have the same, sooner than you think, but when the time is right.
I do, however, think that sharing my personal experiences is important as it provides some clarity as to where I am coming from in terms of my beliefs and values. We all have biases that are shaped through our experiences after all. In any case, I'll keep things short, so I can start addressing some of the points you made in your article.
I am not sure about 20 years, but certainly the idea of women dating men older than them isn’t out of the norm.
It’s like dancing, right? Think of a beautiful waltz, one person takes a step, the other person follows with a step. You would never take two or three steps in a row because that’s not how you waltz! You would destroy the form of the dance and you would completely throw off your dance partner.
Contemporary ethics and technology has made us so insular - and successful at being insular - that the herd is a thing of the past. There is no hunting. There is no mating. There is no harvesting. You can eat, entertain youself and even have sex without ever having to be inconvenienced with leaving your abode.
If regular women continue to require higher and higher benchmarks for men, and men continue to be increasingly displaced by women, and weapons-free attacked hourly by the media and women’s fragile egos for existing—I’m afraid that men will simply stop playing. And I don’t mean in the neo-MGTOW version of leaving the party.
Answer: My advice to you is to stop watching trash TV and to stop listening to the advice from men's forums that denigrate all women. Reality television is in the business of making rating thru sensationalism. Maury Povich and Jerry Springer began these trends. To this day, they are popular with college (frat) boys as well as uneducated young men and women. Do you really want to be associated with people like that? As for most men's forums, they feed off of confused young boys or older divorced men who are bitter and who have chosen to blame all women for their problems, rather than taking responsibility for their own issues.
Be aware that many profiles are fake, set up by scammers eager to work their way into your pocketbook. Scambook, the Internet’s leading complaint resolution platform, issued an advisory in response to statistics showing that women over the age of 50 are most likely to be victims of online dating scams. These individuals write charming, romantic, flattering messages designed to convince older women to fall for them—they assume that because we’re older, we are more likely to respond to flattery. You can avoid scammers by looking for inconsistencies in a profile, taking it slow and asking lots of questions.
