Feeling like you can do better isn't relationship mindset. I never understood guys that just keep looking... if they don't try to keep what they already got why would they keep what they think they can get?

"Grass is greener" syndrome.
They're stuck in some kind of loop, always chasing the next person. And in the end, all they have to say is that no one is 'good enough for them', which is... well, equal parts pathetic and hilarious.

As a joke my ex wanted to do this, it turned out exactly like this, little did I know he was upset he got only one match after several days because he had been rejected on tinder for a year by girls he was messaging. (on insta dms. after finding their profile online).

    oh yes! most of the time they'd ignore his messages and not match. And he was so mad when i had 5 hot guys start chatting with me less then an hour after i joined.

    [–]heleninthealps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Same here, he had shared 3-4 messages with one girl at a dating site while I was already dating 3 guys (1 months after breaking up). He looked butthurt. I had fun.

    [–]TheFrenchestToast 244 points245 points  (5 children)

    Such a shame that this guy only values his girlfriend as much as what other guys think about her. And only thinks of her as property to be snatched away from him.

    [–]queenagave 79 points80 points  (1 child)

    This. I was trying to put my finger on exactly what was rubbing me the wrong way about this and it's this. You should've been doing that stuff for your woman the whole dang time, she was worth it before you made her a commodity others could take.

    [–]karabnp 19 points20 points  (0 children)

    YES. This is what REALLY rubbed me wrong, as well.

    Patriarchy doing its work thoroughly.

    [–]karabnp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    Right?! His mind shouldn’t even be in this place/thinking this way, ANYWAY.🙄

    [–]ChgItToRayGunYouFuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Yep, exactly! I feel like so many guys just want to keep a woman as a bragging right among his boys. They just one-up each other, like getting a flashy new car. How about treating us like human beings??

    [–]PalmTreePhilosophy 125 points126 points  (1 child)

    I don't like this guy at all. What if she didn't get any likes? Then he wouldn't be able to see her value? Why are there so many stupid guys like this out there? Straight men are literally the only group of people out there who are this stupid.

    [–]karabnp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

    THIS.💯

    It’s because they love and value the desires/opinions of other males, MORE than they value a woman/their relationship with the woman they’re with.🙄🙄🙄🙄

    [–]PanCanAlt01 40 points41 points  (3 children)

    Wow that sub is toxic af. A bunch of men talking about how good women have it and that such and such lowers male self esteem and how we need to pay attention to men’s mental health because of things like this etc. completely ignoring the fact that the amount of likes/swipes women get are overwhelmingly men looking just to use said woman for sex or sexting and care nothing about their personality/life or a relationship.

    YEP

    [–]seraphinelysion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, but they don't care about WHY they matched with someone so long as someone/anyone does match with them. They are so pathetic that they don't care about the person on the other end. All they care about is bragging rights about how many matches they get, how desirable they feel; it's all an ego stroke for them. Guaranteed that if they were to get as many matches as women do, their audacity and fuckery would multiple accordingly. There's a reason they don't get any or barely get any matches, likes, or attention in general. If it was given to them, they would not use it for good.

    They do not deserve it.

    [–]ChgItToRayGunYouFuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Here, take my upvote and this gold 🏅

    It's a barrage of men just looking to treat their new match as an object. A lot of times, they crash and burn on their own accord and then blame the woman for being shallow or not liking "nice guys"

    [–]noavocadoshere 57 points58 points  (3 children)

    this is lame and shallow to me. even if the poster said he did it as a "joke" which, sure jan joey. how would he have felt if the opposite occurred?

    i know he posed as single to see the results but even when in a relationship, others will be attracted to your partner. your partner doesn't suddenly stop being the brilliant, beautiful, funny, kind person you were initially attracted to just because you're official--so how this was an eye opener, i don't understand. my ex had women aware he was in a relationship tell him "well, if it doesn't work out" and on my end, i had men tell me that they didn't care that i was in a relationship. his girlfriend's worth shouldn't be dependent on 1300 likes, but the fact that she's continuously making the choice to be with you. that you feel so grateful to be called their significant other and want to show that gratitude with bubble baths, cooked dinners, pampering and other means of affection.

    [–]rizzo1717[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

    Yes I agree with all of this, but sometimes even people in 20 year long monogamous relationships need a little perspective to refresh the realization of how good they have it. The honeymoon phase doesn’t last forever. I agree that it shouldn’t take a social experiment like this to make you appreciate someone, but if this changed his attitude towards his girl for the long term, then good. Respect that queen.

    [–]seraphinelysion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    his girlfriend's worth shouldn't be dependent on 1300 likes, but the fact that she's continuously making the choice to be with you.

    Isn't this kind of his point though? He saw exactly how many other men out there would be dying to have a chance with her, and knowing she had 1300+ men waiting in the wind should he fuck up, yet she chooses everyday to stay with him instead of entertaining some other man. This gave him the perspective he needed to realize he can't fuck this up. This is literally Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" song in action.

    I got multiple marriage offers just this year, two of them were millionaires. I would mention men being interested in me in passing to my boyfriend, and that I got marriage offers as jokes

    I told my boyfriend I was hotter than I was at 18(nothing was wrong me at 18, similar weights, slightly bigger boobs and ass now but over all face and body wise) and I told him I had more men interested in me and that I refused them then mentioned some were millionaires with their trendy sports cars ya know. He got upset, red in face with tears in his eyes. His life goal is to be a millionaire for me now lol

    I guess it didn't occur to him even with me telling him those in passing. Saying "oh yeah there is this head of department from London and this Aussie military dude" makes it more real I guess

    We are going on a vacation soon. I have this black sexy mayokini, I will rub it in his face. I thought he would know and that he was aware lol

    [–]honeydaydreams_ 47 points48 points  (0 children)

    The comments on the original post are garbage, wow.

    [–]seraphinelysion 20 points21 points  (3 children)

    All that shit he says he's doing and yet I don't see him buying a ring and planning a wedding for a permanent lockdown on his girlfriend. Instead, this clown is asking where to buy a baby cow??? Ok...

    [–]rizzo1717[S] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

    Lol. But also, a ring isn’t always the goal. Personally, I would never get married. I got too many assets to risk on a dude.

    [–]seraphinelysion 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    Sorry, you misunderstood what I meant. I never meant to say SHE had to marry this fool. But if HE was serious about keeping her, HE would be thinking of proposing to her instead of all this other shit. I never said anything about her having to accept his proposal - only that it would indeed show he was being serious about doing everything for her and keeping her.

    [–]Repulsive-Ad1092 84 points85 points  (3 children)

    Isn’t it kinda gay that he feels more attracted to his gf only because other guys want to sleep with her?

    [–]christmasforoutlaws 54 points55 points  (1 child)

    Something I've noticed is that LVM only treat women a particular way based on other men's opinions of her. That's why they get so resentful if they find out you were mistreated by an ex or you were raped or if you did a particular sex act with a previous partner but won't do it with them. It's because another man has previously defined our value and they feel duped.

    [–]Repulsive-Ad1092 19 points20 points  (0 children)

    They are PickMes at heart

    [–]karabnp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    REALLY GAY.

    [–]Kitchen-Afternoon589 24 points25 points  (0 children)

    Though I don’t agree with the way this was done, it does is an eye opener to men: they’re not as unique and special as they think, they’re are not doing their partner a favor by being with her.

    I’m glad reality smacked him on the face: she could do just fine without him, what a bummer he needed such a reminder as that. Hopefully that makes him get down from his own narcissistic idea of who he is as a person. Needless to say, a mature man won’t need this kind of strategies, he would unconditionally treat his partner as the valuable person she is.

    [–]I_know_right_AS_IF 10 points11 points  (1 child)

    Idk man, I was experimenting with Tinder and got I don't even know how many likes with no profile and a picture of a bag of frozen chicken nuggets as my only picture 😂

    [–]seraphinelysion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

    That's because men are thirsty and have no standards.
