I was venting about not liking the men in my town bc they’re 1. Racist, homophobic, misogynistic 2. Obese or scrawny, balding, don’t shower, dress like Adam Sandler, pube duck dynasty beards. and a guy yelled at me for having “too high standards” 😭

i had a man try to pick a fight with me one cuz i said i wouldn't compromise on my standards when looking for a relationship. i didn't even say what they were or how many i had. and he kept getting frustrated cuz he said by the time i'm older i'd run out of options and i kept shrugging him off & saying i was genuinely content with being single forever 😭

“Too high”? The first part sets the bar in HELL, the second part is just you wanting a man capable of taking care of himself. There’s also a huge difference between gamers and guys who game.

he was interested in me and then got offended when i said i had yet to find someone i liked as a person after he used an analogy about rejecting restaurants because it isn't "perfect" until you're too hungry and end up settling for shitty food. like not only was he sexist but also an actual moron to think i'd have any interest in him after all that

I stgggggg men would rather jump through hoops to force women to lower their standards than to just be better. which I’ve never understood bc men wanna be better than women so bad so why don’t they actually BE better ? then women would actually want you 😭

for the second part: okayyyy ? 😭 I’m fine with a man who games but when I think GAMER I think a msn who is gonna just make me sit and watch him play video games while I take care of the house and cooking

i love video games but honestly there's nothing wrong w not wanting to date someone who games and it's honestly not that difficult to find them idk. out of my exes only one played video games. having any standard narrows the pool, some more than others and as long as the person who has them understands it might make things harder/fine with living the single life i really don't understand why people get offended over MY life choices. if it's something you're unwilling to compromise on,

it's better to find someone compatible in that respect than trying to change someone's identity. people deserve to be themselves and are entitled to that, but they aren't entitled to a relationship from a specific person

i mean like if video games were a nonnegotiable rather than a preference. it would be better to hold the standard than date someone and resent that aspect of them yk. his logic is dumb cuz why would he want someone to date him if they don't like that part of him rather than finding someone who shares that if it means so much to him
