Hey Allen! I normally wouldn’t respond to such a comment (I receive comments similar to yours all the time). However, I believe that you have the best of intentions by typing this so I will respond. Plus, I do like your input on a lot of my articles.
I, and many women, are very aware that having both friends and a man is quite possible. However, I can’t attest that single women who seek companionship from men don’t have the “right attitude.” I do agree with you that men are simple creatures, but there are more factors that contribute to singleness in women. But truth be told I do not care to examine WHY women are single. I can only speak for myself.
I am fairly attractive (my opinion lol), in shape, intelligent, and I CHOOSE not to date or be partnered. I have made the conscious decision that dating and relationships aren’t for me. I think they’re too time consuming and I don’t see much ROI or benefits from giving up my autonomy and exclusivity.
I am not begging to be with anyone; if I REALLY wanted to be in a relationship (or just maintain a friends with benefits situation) I could. At this point I am only looking for male friends, which does frustrate some men lol.
Regarding dying alone, everyone dies alone whether they’re partnered or not. C’mon Allen! You and I both know this 😂 but I do talk extensively about my personal decision to live out the remainder of my life alone because I am very fulfilled as a single woman. Whether you and other men believe this or not isn’t my problem.
Now do I agree with some of the points you made about modern women? YES. If a woman wants a man she has a much different game to play than I do. Like you mentioned, men have certain requirements for their partners and it makes complete sense. If you’re investing your time, money, etc. into a woman it’s quite acceptable to have standards and expectations. I do not care to play the dating game so I can literally do as I please; I don’t have to look or behave in a way that pleases men and I can be the “modern woman” with no consequence. Interestingly enough, some men find my attitude towards them and the male collective to be quite sexy and refreshing.
Just between us, what frustrates me is that women who want boyfriends/husbands seem to think that men think like women, and they expect them to think/behave/act as such.. Nothing can be further than the truth. I might actually do an article on it too.
