Ladies, if you've ever wondered why men are pulling back from dating. Here's my 2 cents.
It's simple, don't make our life harder than it has to be. The sacrifice and risk needed to enter a relationship is huge for most men. You become our#1 priority, we choose to let you inside the walls. Our life changes completely. We know this going in and we don't ask for much in return. You can't compete with the life we can create for our ourselves, the only way you stand a chance is if you're on board to make both our lives better and your actions reflect that. Whatever it takes. Life is more expensive than it's ever been, right now. We sell our soul to idiotic jobs that AI, automation or the next guy could replace in an instant. Our future is under attack, money is a joke, work is meaningless and the one thing we put up with all of that superficial bullshit for (Love/Companionship) is shallowed out to a numbers game that doesn't justify the risk. So we don't play.
