Personally I haven’t been talking to anyone in hopes of dating them because I haven’t met anyone who’s my type. But in general its also just difficult to find men who aren’t misogynistic in some way or who don’t have other qualities that would be bad in a relationship, such as weaponized incompetence
last three guys i went on dates with: 1) he talked down to me and i didn’t like it 2) unemployed. and that wouldn’t be a major issue (especially in this economy), but he did not seem at all worried about it or like he was trying all that hard to get a job. seemed like he had no direction which is a red flag as a college grad imo 3) lived kinda far away and i don’t think we were into each other enough to make that happen
only have two, one was highschool and he thought we were going to get married, had weird expectations for the relationship and didn’t respect my boundaries. the second one we both moved too fast and it was def part my fault, we said ily within the week and i knew it wasn’t going to work. I think its hard to find a good man bc everyone wants someone different, but generally we want someone who is kind, faithful, and can take care of themselves and their household, i dont need to parent them
I had an entire husband for a while, but he left because i couldn’t meet his needs sexually and I had unaddressed mental health issues (since worked on). Most recently, I fell for a lovely man who is neurodivergent like me, but it turned out he doesn’t date for personal and religious reasons. At least we’re still very good friends.
