Men are Trash
I've been spending some time on the female side of the internet in regard to gender relations. Regardless of the topic, one theme appears more than any other and that theme is that men are trash. It doesn't matter what men do; they are all trash. I've read posts by women that describe what I would consider a pretty good guy only to find out in the comments that I was sadly mistaken. These women in the comments bring up points that for the most part I didn't think of which is why I've been spending time on the female side in the first place. I want to get an idea of what kind of things matter. It's pretty depressing though.
While I was wondering around, I ran across something called "the 4 no's" which are as follows...
No dating
No marriage
No sex
No children
A small segment of the female population has adopted these 4 principles and while if enough women adopted them, it would become an extinction level event, I can't say I disagree.
I noticed a lot of "women going their own way" content on the female side which surprised me. However, they don't call it "women going their own way" they call it "decentering men". Any video you watch that talk about "decentering men" is the female equivalent of "men going their own way". There are also a lot of videos putting down "men going their own way" while at the same time ironically embracing the "decenter men" philosophy as if the two are different somehow.
While I have been trying to put into words my feelings on romance/mating I think I have settled on the following...
The act of trying to get what you need from someone trying to take advantage of you.
Having said that, I acknowledge that loyalty is a trait and that there are people of both genders who possess it. I also acknowledge that loyalty is a trait and there are people of both genders who don't possess it. So, it really comes down to this.
Fall in love with someone who has the trait of loyalty, and you should be alright.
Don't look for it on the internet though, unless you enjoy depression and a feeling of utter hopelessness.
