Disagree 100% with your first paragraphMen can love any woman. It doesn't matter if she's short, it doesn't matter if she's overweight, it doesn't matter if she's broke, it doesn't matter if she's unemployed, it doesn't matter if she's as dumb as a sack of rocks. There will be a man who will love that woman completely unconditionally. This is what men are taught, we have the message of 'outer beauty is not that important, love someone for who they are not for what they look like or what you think they can do for you' the men who wholeheartedly believe that message are the ones who end up becoming simps. They're willing to take a woman in warts and all.
Women are rarely like that with us. There are countless reasons I've seen give for curving an otherwise good guy.
Anyone who posts in this thread knows someone or has experienced rejection for one of these reasons. The only people who actually bought into that 'what matters is the person' narrative are the ones who suffer from the harsh reality all the more. What we're seeing now though is those men who would just have to settle for these women regardless of whatever baggage they have are now starting to ask "why? if I wasn't good enough back then, why am I suddenly good enough now?" It's a salient question that I've seen internet feminists just euro-step entirely, same with the questions of "what's wrong with a father wanting to know that his child is his?" and "what is wrong with men trying to protect themselves from a potential false allegation?" or "what's wrong with men exercising their right to leave a relationship if they don't agree with his partner's past choices and overall decision making?"
- He's too short. He needs to be much taller than I am.
- he makes less money than me. He needs to make more
- he's bald
- He's too handsome
- he's too sexual
- he's not sexual enough
- He spends too much time with his friends and doesn't invite me, but when he does it feels awkward when I'm around them. That's somehow his fault.
- he's boring
- he's too spontaneous
- he's too serious
- he plays too much
- Other women flirt with him whenever we're out
- he's too smart
- he's too dumb
- he's fat and it's embarrassing to be seen with him
- he's too fit and it's embarrassing to be seen with him
- he chews too loudly
- he's too kind and it makes her feel uncomfortable
- he's too busy with his job even though he told you he has a busy job when you met him.
- You had a dream he cheated on you and now you can't trust him
- he reminds you too much of your ex but you can't say in which way
the rest I can agree with
