Listen, friend, you're sounding a bit unhinged in these comments. You're going on about how all women want masculine men driving pickups and going on $1,000 dates and all... Just because you had a shitty ex a few years back doesn't mean all women are like that.

None of the women in my life are like that. I'm betting you're considerably younger than I am but none of the women I've ever chosen to surround myself with have ever been like that.

No, I'm reporting my experience of dating for 15 years. You can tell me I'm unhinged, but my experience 100% matches the articles. I'm in the trenches.

I'm not armchair dater who scoffs at the reality of the thing because they have no experienced it.

I'm glad you've had that choice. I'm not you. I know people who got married at 22/24, and people who had never had a boyfriend/girlfriend in their 50s. It's almost liek the world is full of different people, with different experiences. And maybe you should listen instead of thinking your life is the only one that is true and everyone else is is doing it wrong if they aren't you.
