The paradox of female entitlement
The biggest elephant in the room in most relationships: Women think they settled and could have done better
- Thread starter Jalether
- Start date
men are no where near as entitled as women. We are more realistic and easier to please
And even the men that feel this way don't take it out on their significant other in terms of being disrepectful and being passive aggressive
"Damn... I let a good one get away.." What do you think that implies?
That there was something out there better for you.
And you let it slip away.
So we do have those thoughts.
However, as another breh stated, we don't take it out or hold it over the heads of the current women that we're with.
That's the difference.
This. A bytch will never need to say she settled for me, she can be gone

How is that any different than men in terms of thinking about the one who got away? This isn't some exclusive issue with women. People have options, especially if you're attractive and/or have your shyt together. But since most people are not the hottest or the richest there's always going to be some level of settling.
Does it? There could be several good ones no?
"I let a good one get away" =/= "I don't like her (current option) like that but she does XYZ so I'll be aight". If she "got away", you're acknowledging your own fuçk up, you're not making a comparison to the woman you so-called settled for.
@KidJSoul response captures this. Men are far more likely to deal with reality and/or adjust their scope of reality. We know Business Suit Beyonce and Cherokee at Law is not realistic in spite of being ideal.
Women cannot separate idealistic partners from realistic partners/standards for finding a partner largely because they were trained that they didn't need to.

They only feel that why when your money lookin funny… If your bread is right trust she ain’t thinking about the next nikka or the nikka she use to mess
If she on the Amex accounts, got Marc Jacob and LV bags pushing that big body Benz GLS 2023 model and 2 decades deep in a marriage and still getting long stroked raw 4 times a week… A thought about she could’ve done better never crossed her mind because I’m the nikka she did better with
This. I'd follow up by saying that most men are more likely to be satisfied/content with their wife if she fits their baseline criteria. They won't wanna mess it up (assuming he's not a cheater of course)
As where some women could literally have a good man, but that's not enough to satisfy them because he probably doesn't hit all her bases.
It all has to do with the fact that women require more from their ideal man than men require from their ideal women.
For a man, as long as she's attractive enough, not annoying, the sex is great and frequent, and doesn't seem like she's using you, that's good enough. Women need a man that's also attractive, not annoying, good sex, etc. but also tall, has a good enough salary, is ambitious enough, is more decisive, calm in tough moments, can be the emotional rock,
This is all generalizations of course. But there's a reason why always see married women wishing they "chose better" or chose a different man.

at Cherokee at Law you should trademark that or put it in a sig that's gold.SadimirPutin

Newsflash.....women think they settled because they generally have wildly overinflated views of the men they think they deserve
Newsflash.....man men think they settled but we generally dont voice that opinion ad nauseam.
I generally look for a peaceful spirit, physically attractive to me, a compatible sense of humor.....once those three are present I can generally work with the rest of the package.
Also she chose to "settle"......if she feel resentful go get the dude that you want or think you deserve....the romantic world is a marketplace....go test your value and let another woman love the man you despise

Jeff Bezos "settled"
What his chick(s) bringing to the table?
Bih would die if ol Jeff say "let's go 50/50"
So if Jeff settling, we ALL gotta settle in some way, shape, or form...

Tall is a factor of attractiveness.This. I'd follow up by saying that most men are more likely to be satisfied/content with their wife if she fits their baseline criteria. They won't wanna mess it up (assuming he's not a cheater of course)

And
Good enough salary and ambitious enough align with doesn’t seem like she’s using you.
Both genders have more than enough check marks. Women tend to verbalize it more then men.
