Every single one of these “traits” mentioned can and has been attributed to men as much as women. So clearly this is not a gender issue or dynamic but one of flawed human people who have yet to work through their insecurities and issues of past bad dating experience.

The third one has aspects at play in both genders and aspects of the opposite side of the dynamic in both genders. Ever hear of the Florence Nightingale effect? There are also men who look for women to save as a means of bolstering their masculinity. They have to be needed or they don’t know how to operate in a relationship.

Men also routinely blame all their failed relationships on their exes, “bitches be crazy!”

I haven’t read what you wrote on your guy centric tangental post but I bet it’s more of the same. Things that can and do manifest in both sexes.

You cheapen your article and yourself by playing to false gender bias just to have a more attention grabbing click-baity title. You would have served your readership and yourself better by combining into one article and properly generalizing into something like How Relationship Insecurities Manifest When We’re Not Really Ready To Commit. Or something along those lines. You would have gotten a wider audience too, as more people want help working through relationship issues than want another pointless pontification of everything that’s wrong with the other sex.

I expected more out of this, but I guess that’s on me because I probably shouldn’t have.
