Men like the idea of women pining after commitment because men need to feel useful and needed. It's why they hate feminism too. Anything that keeps women from needing them they generally don't like. It's just about control.
I wonder how women can reinforce that men are necessary and great without feeding into this nonsense.
B/c logically men can't continue to try and court women with vinegar. Once socialization doesn't work on women and the threat of the old cat lady loses its teeth, how will men convince chicks to even bother?
B/c u and I know what this is really about. Most women are aware of the work WORK that we put into relationships. And we also know the deleterious effects in so many cases. I mean dudes feel ENTITLED to cheat on their wives. The ideals of reciprocity and equality and just basic human decency fly from some of their heads as soon as p*ssy gets involved. Dudes will literally talk about not even wanting to be around chicks and hating them or being irritated by them.
If a woman can work and make her own money and attain a good quality of life, take care of her own needs, have fun, be at peace, come and go as she pleases, get dikk whenever, and not have to worry about possibly getting cheated on, stds, possibly getting beaten, having to take on all the responsibilities of the home AND life-threatening stress, why would she even bother especially with dudes who consider her less than or inferior.
And I say this as a supporter of good marriages. There is far less incentive and greater risks for good women these days to engage in the institution. The traditional benefits of provision and protection ain't there anymore in a lot of cases.
