Harping on people to get married from up in the ivory tower fails to engage with reality of life in the dating trenches.

So, men are only a problem because...women are the problem?

Wow.

Fuck's sake, worry about yourself. You want better? Deserve it. Or not, and settle for less. Whatever.

An article that wonders why people aren't getting married says they went out and only asked one side what the problem was. 🤔

Doesn't even seem balanced....

Edit: as a romance favourable aroace, the dating world was a nightmare, even if you do everything "right". Which is why I no longer look to find companionship.

Do better or not, there are garbage people in all genders and the prevailing "men bad" when it comes to dating is just as toxic as what the men are doing.

The article also doesn't suggest any possible solutions.

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.


Rules

Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people


Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.



Be productive


Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.

Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:

  • Build upon the OP
  • Discuss concepts rather than semantics
  • No low effort comments
  • No personal attacks


Assume good faith


Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.



No bigotry


Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.



No brigading


Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.
