I've experienced this dating women in their 20's.
The problem in a nutshell is, the roles are changing right now, and nobody knows what they're supposed to be doing. There's a very, very large disconnect between what people are being told vs. what is actually happening.
The young women I've been involved with want you to be manly and aggressive while simultaneously cowering and politically correct. No matter what you do, you're always wrong. They pick some fight, then move onto the next person.
I've been dumped for being too strong (physically). I've been dumped for having the wrong political opinions. For not agreeing with obviously false statements. Never a discussion. I've been dumped for "being smart." I've been dumped for wanting to be monogamous. It's always easier for them to move on then to self evaluate.
Then around 25, the dating scene changes. From 18-25 women control the dating because they control the vagina supply. However, the moment a woman decides she wants to get married, men control the wedding ring supply.
Suddenly, for the first time, these women find themselves with very little leverage and very bad attitudes, and some of them never adjust.
A lot of them don't know how to read body language or facial expressions, or how subtext works — leading to lots of awkward moments. A woman invited me to her place once (for sex). When I got there, we sat on the couch, and she hugged a giant pillow very tightly and never got close to me. We just ended up talking for a bit, and she texted later and asked, "Why didn't we have sex? Are you not attracted to me?" I
explained that her body language was not that of a person who wanted to have sex and I was being respectful.
With all of these women I've seen, there's just a disconnect from the reality of the situation. I have a friend whose married, has four children, two very tough jobs, and is in a poly marriage. She complains to no end about how men "only want sex." Well, yes of course my dear-- you're MARRIED.
Now, I'm not saying dating men is any easier for women. I just haven't been on that side of the table. I would love to hear from someone.
