NoReally? Wow. I knew there would be a self absorbed basement troll hit this comment eventually. And with all the usual obtuse airing of manufactured grievance. But so soon? Congratulations. Here’s your 🏆. I’ll let you work out whether it’s a consolation prize or a participation trophy.

Okay, I’ll go first.

My grandmother. My aunt. 4 of my cousins. 3 of my close friends. My best friend. 6 current coworkers, that I know about their personal lives. I don’t even want to count past coworkers, too much work for this weekend, but a lot. I have several other family members who almost did but the guy died in WWII, Vietnam, or Afghanistan (?). I, myself am a college graduate who prefers dating broadly. It’s a different experience entirely to date based on shared/similar experience, interests, and hobbies. So that’s my primary focus. Not money. I have enough of my own money to support myself and my child adequately.

Does that mean I exclude guys with college degrees. No, of course not. I’m saying it’s not the end all be all of financial soundness. And that while, absolutely, financial fitness is important to women when looking for a mate, they don’t think about it, in general, the way you men think we think about it or more often how you tell us we should think about it. You’ve been watching too many movies and reading too much tripe created by misogynist pigs. Stop it. Then maybe you can get your head out of your ass.

Sorry to burst your bubble. That’s a lie. Not sorry. Not sorry at all. It’s usually just not like that. Are women a monolith? No. We also don’t group think. Are there some women who think this way? Sure. It’s fringe though, because every time some display of this tired old trope stomps it’s way across a media stage there is a very audible collective sigh. And if you pan around to see the reaction, you’re gonna see a hella lot of eye rolls.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

The above eye rolls are in response to your "challenge". Yeah... I know you think you’ve got this ironclad gotcha, you little twerp. Alas, you’ve completely outsmarted yourself by making my point for me. You remember the one, don’t you? About treating women like the human beings they are and not trying to be a player, a.k.a. a manipulative little fuck?

But you’re right, I actually couldn’t pull it off. Not because you’re right. Because I’d be getting mad interest from both accounts Although, never in a million years, would I catfish a romantic interest and try to play if off as a joke or a "social experiment", never in a million million years would I ever—ever ever— approach a woman like a God damned John. Cause we’re not buying that bullshit you’re peddling any more.

I’ll give you a moment to collect your pearls. Next time, why don’t you try losing the chip on your shoulder instead?
