I've seen this on line. They constantly complain about every man they get with and what he doesn't do right, and so forth, yet they just continue on in the same pattern over and over.. I see a victim mentality. And if one bases every relationship on sex or how much they are getting, it is defo doomed to fail.

@Magenta it's not just victim mentality it's to control via victim mentality and worse issue being weaponising sex

@Magenta Agree

I’ve seen this both in person and online. Self reflection is not something many people are good at, myself included.

There’s also an immediate reaction to put the blame on others, so it’s a big reality tbh.

Taking time to muddle through the noise is the best way, but even that isn’t easy.

@BillyMack well of course I'm not perfect and I've probably made excuses for my own behavior, but I don't understand the constant bashing of each other and then you're confused to why you don't have a relationship or people don't want to be around you
BillyMack · 46-50, M
@Justmeraeagain I hope I didn’t imply that you were saying you’re better than others. I agree with what you’re saying.

And yeah the bashing of the opposite sex is probably more out of control now, especially in a place like socials where that gets you validation. I totally agree.

The war of the sexes is so over for me; has been over a long time. I believe that men and women are more alike than different and all this pop psychology saying otherwise is just nonsense.

I have noticed that in SW and in real life, the gender rhetoric is increasing, just like everything else people are getting polarized.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@JimboSaturn it's everywhere and it seems like it was once mostly contained on social media, but now people are playing out in real life it's kind of depressing...
Thank goodness there are still some people that are better than their rhetoric.

@romell if that is ever to happen it's going to be a really long way down the road.
My husband understood me the best he could.
I don't believe you can understand anybody completely, but he was content to be with me with all my flaws and I'm not going to take anything less and I don't really want that right now.
Way too early.
And if I don't , I will be okay it might not be ideal, but it'll be okay.

The Internet is so good at making resentful people more resentful.

And I totally get why some women would hate men but wow I am NOT inviting that energy into my life dawg. You can find someone else to take your anger out on.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@BlueVeins nobody should be attacked for someone else's behavior and I suppose that's what it would be they're taking out on all men the behavior of some men

I had a girlfriend who claimed to be a lesbian but she got more pleasure from hating men than she ever got from loving women. We didn't last very long. I guess she learned to self- reflect. She became a big shot in a Zen community in California.

@hunkalove I worked with someone like that. Awful

This is why I gave up on looking for a relationship a long time ago.
SlippingAway · 46-50, F
Yes, some people are so bitter and unable to see that they are part of the problem.
romell · 51-55, M
All relationships are give n take ..if you want one be ready for compromises
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@romell
I personally am not looking for one as I just lost my husband 2 months ago, but I do agree it's give and take.
The current society tells us we should take and take, because we're so special.
I think this one little idea has hurt a lot of relationships :to Love yourself more than anyone else... I do not agree... love people as you love yourself, fine, but don't think you're the greatest thing that walk down the roadand only you matter ... that's just boring and gets old fast.
