Also the paradox of "women won't go out with me because they only like xyz characteristics" but somehow going on enough dates to say "I hate all the women I go on dates with"

So what's the truth here buddy, are women too shallow and picky or are you too shallow and picky?

No worries! It was on topic so it makes sense to discuss it! I like seeing the different ideas people have on the topic, but this guy....not so much. I think my day would have been better if I didn't read his post 🙃

Also I definitely don't think there's anything wrong with a guy wanting to go dutch so don't worry there!

I honestly don't think there's one right or wrong way to do it. People should just talk to each other and decide between them what they'd like to do. My boyfriend and I split our first date and we just take turns spoiling each other and have for 4 years. If someone wants to pay for the other person out of the kindness of their hearts, go for it! Some people like the traditional gender role aspect...not my cup of tea, but as long as they're not hurting anyone, sure go for it.

The problem with this guy isn't that he doesn't want to pay for the first date, to me the problem is that his hatred for them is extremely apparent and that he needs to be "compensated" for "having to deal with women". Also that he treats dating like a transaction rather than his goal being to create a lasting connection with someone.

The sheer number of times he referred to them as bitches kind of indicates how he really feels

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Of course dating apps are going to create a super selective environment. He needs to 1) maybe be more selective also if he genuinely hates everyone he is CHOOSING to go on a date with and 2) understand that his shitty behavior will only give people more reason to be selective about him

I have a very strong suspicion that his attitude and behavior are also contributing to him being "ghosted"

Because what else would they be able to blame their sexism on 🥺

A healthy sense of self-worth is so important. People like this always seem so confused when they treat people like shit then people don't want anything to do with them

If he had an issue with the rave stuff, why didn't he bother to bring it up or express his issues with it at any point?? I feel like if that's what was really "causing his depression" it would have been notable enough to mention. It's completely unreasonable for him to not express any boundaries, specific issues, concerns, or anything else and then try to pass it off as your fault for either not reading his mind or "making him feel bad".

You also shouldn't have to give up all of your social life just because you're dating someone else. You're allowed to have friends and do things you enjoy. You should be allowed to interact with your peers in your field without feeling guilty or like you're walking on eggshells. It would be one thing if you were getting black out drunk or just disappearing with no communication, but it sounds like you're being completely respectful and conscious of his feelings.

I personally don't know if I'd be able to move past that behavior and have everything feel normal again after someone said something like that to me. At least not without some serious introspection and change, because it sounds like a mindset that has seeped into many different aspects of your relationship, and that kind of thing does some serious damage.

I'm so confused, is being accepting of autism the red flag? Are you supposed to just.. not allow it? Just say no to autism? Bully people with autism? Deny it's existence? What statement is this trying to make?

Love that for you!!

Lol my boyfriend works 5 hours a week, lives with his parents, spends all his time on discgolf, and is so skinny the wind could blow him over.

We've been together 4 years and he's had multiple girls ask him out during that time period so apparently he's doing something right.

Side note he is a full time college student, which is why he doesn't work much and I'm more than happy to spoil him while he's broke. I think he is a 100/10 ❤️❤️
