To all the bitter men

Post Reply New Topic

Regardless, the OP didn't make those comments. Also, it makes me sad to see a young man struggling. It reminds me of my dark days in High School. A lot of females forget that men are seen as the physically stronger sex and told to "man up". We have no abuse support groups, we have no shelters. We must simply rely on ourselves and hope we can grow to become stronger.

It's usually the feminists that bash men. I don't bash men - I'm not a feminist. However, I do expect men to be equal to me in job status and other things. This has labeled me a "gold digger" by some of the men here which I do not appreciate. I'm tired of men saying that women have it easier with dating when I have never been able to find a Hunny that measures up to what I want. No, it's not having too high of standards - it's trying to find someone who is an equal to me. It really does seem that men are taking the easy way out these days. Most couldn't afford to support a family anymore without the woman working. The Cleaver days are gone. I think that women get the crappy part of a relationship - especially marriage - because they are now expected to work AND be Mother of the Year which is totally impossible. That is why in another thread it was brought up that women are happier not being married and men are happier married - because they have everything done for them is the reason. Why would I want to settle for someone who is not my equal that I have to work more in order to support? But men these days want women who have careers. Well, I have a decent career, so where are the men who are making the same as me? Not finding any. So no, I don't have a dating life any easier than men, IMO.

I used to be bitter, until I realized we've been trying to play by the mainstream's rules. It hasn't worked for us. It's like trying to play football with a baseball rule book.

Dating was not built around the needs of us aspies. Especially if we're male and introverted.

Much of our difficulty stems from the fact that women will rarely initiate contact with men, despite what women may say to the contrary. Add to that the inability of many of us to understand flirting, and suddenly you can understand why we seem to have been dealt a no-win hand.

Speaking as an aspie who's asexual to boot, our luck will not change in the romance department until we realize where we've been going wrong, and then start writing our own rules of dating. It has worked for asexuals, some of whom are now leading happily married lives because they made their own rules of dating.

I think the frustration men sometimes feel is understandable, though I do not encourage or condone anger and bitterness and can perfectly understand why people can't tolerate it.

This doesn't mean some lonely men should be as bitter and sexist as they are, but I've seen plenty of guys that complain about being lonely out of sadness rather than anger, and still get barraged by men and women just like the one in that OTHER thread that you were in nurseangela by that condescending, aggressive, sexist, pathetic little troll.

It's just a little annoying to, say, be willing to date 90% of women in your age group while 90% of women your age group want absolutely nothing to do with you.

I am beginning to understand plenty of both men and women have much higher standards than I do for a partner, in fact I'd be willing to bet both aspie men and women have lower standards than the average N.T. man OR woman, a big reason probably being because we tend to be so socially isolated and rejected by society that we become more tolerant of people that N.T.'s would quickly overlook, such as others with mental disorders, those clearly disabled, etc.

I do try to accept 95% of guys and girls, even the ones MY age, probably have higher standards than me even though young people tend to care less about job, income, etc. because both men and women at my age are of low independence and tend to still be studying while working min. wage PT jobs and such.

But I still do grow a little frustrated and impatient sometimes.

This isn't towards anyone in particular.

I'm not frustrated at women, (or guys, bisexual here), but frustrated that I can't succeed socially.

No one is fault for rejecting me, and I don't have low self-esteem/don't beat myself up.

I don't think anyone should blame the opposite sex or themselves, they should simply be frustrated at events rather than people.

Be frustrated that you can't get a date, not because there's anything wrong with you, not because women are shallow bishes (they're not), but because you simply cannot get a date, even though there's nothing wrong with you or them.

Hell, blame FATE/CHANCE/LUCK if you have to, just don't blame any individuals or groups of people.

I don't necessarily believe fully in fate/destiny, but I think people know what I still mean.

Like if you ask out 10 women and they all say they have a boyfriend, don't blame yourself, don't blame her, don't blame her boyfriend or assume he's 'probably' an a55h0le, blame the fact that, on this particular day, the day you finally felt confident enough to ask out 10 different women in 10 different places, they all coincidentally happened to have a boyfriend, or fate/luck would have it none of them were interested in you so they used boyfriend as an excuse.

If you accidentally think a woman's interested in you when she's not, blame the fact that fate/luck would have it you misinterpreted her signals, she possibly gave the wrong signals, or both, but it's not your fault or hers, it's FATE'S fault.
