Have you tried... talking about shared interests? Being funny? Being charming and confident? Putting effort into romance? Like all the same advice that help men gain interest from women works the other way around too, you know? We're all human.
have you dated recently?
social media is rife with woman-o-sphere nonsense that basically tells women all they have to do is sit there and look pretty and embrace traditional gender roles and be totally passive. everyone freaks out abotu the manosphere, but the womanosphere is just as toxic... but you can't acknowledge how toxic it is it or you 'hate women'. because apparently if men are sexist douchebags, that's horrible, but if women are, it's their them expressing their freedom, or something.
there has been a big shift in the past 5 years towards this stuff. I have noticed it a lot in dating, most women I meet now are incredibly passive and convinced that everything in the relationship is the man's responsibility.
My last date before meeting my wife was 9 years ago. So no.
yeah 10 years ago things were more healthy and normal.
There's a lot of profiles now who outright say they expect you to plan the date, make the first move etc.
yep, exactly how you know that person has toxic gender expectations.
those are the same types who think the first date should be a $300 dinner, and the second date should be $1000.
If you gonna be Alpha, you gotta Alpha.
I mean, the upside is you get to do exactly what you want to do, because you're doing the organising.
Honestly, I respect them for laying it out like that.
