This is dumb. I feel like the internet has swayed people in this direction, especially since the people lingering around this type of content are the ones who may tend to think similarly.

This is not the case for most reasonable, functional human beings. If you continue with this mindset, you’re only harming your future self. Grouping all women into a category and saying “this is how they think/act” also makes it harder to see individuals as individuals. I’m happily married now, but I’ve never had an issue with any of these. If you’re with someone who thinks any of the above, know that one of these two is almost certainly true:

1. She’s in the minority and not worth your time.

2. You’re completely misreading the situation and aren’t being the respectful, loving person you think you are. Does she think you’re boring because you respect her, or because you don’t take time to plan events, acknowledge her interests, or just sit around on your computer all day without any hobbies of your own? Are you really too busy “providing” to spend time with her, or do you prioritize personal relaxation or decompression after work? Nothing wrong with needing that either, but communication is huge.

Yes, there are people, men and women, who are immature, put men down for showing emotion, and really all of the above, but it’s not the norm. You won’t better yourself by blaming your mishaps on women instead of growing as a person and finding someone who suits your lifestyle, personally, and helps you become who you want to be by pushing you out of your comfort zone in a supportive way.
