I’ve never seen this word before but I guess if that’s what it means then sure I do have a lot of heterofatalism when it comes to frustration dealing with the dating behavior of men

I mean a lot of men are frustrated with the dating behavior of women, I don’t think this is a purely one directional thing

If heteropessimism/fatalism mostly describes women’s disillusionment with men, then it’s not a universal straight experience, it’s a gendered one. Maybe call it femfatalism or amafemfatalism. The “hetero-” label hides the fact that it’s women doing the emotional labor. Although, I disagree with the narrative as another person said- this frustration shouldn’t really be gender specific and actually perpetuates implicit gender roles.

I’ll switch it up! I’m a straight MAN FRUSTRATED with the dating behavior of WOMEN. Why is no woman interested in something long term? Like genuinely, i feel like telling a woman in her 20s that Im looking for something long term is like telling her im into satanic threesomes!!!!!

But I also didn’t read the article assuming this word is connected to one on nyt, maybe it is specifically a distinct female experience

It can put women on guard because a lot of guys who are “looking for a wife” aren’t actually looking for a human person they respect as an equal, they’re looking for any attractive woman who will fill the domestic role of “wife”
