Then why do you constantly do it?

No offense, IDDY, but you're the last person with room to talk about gender-bashing. At times you've been the only thing keeping the crew of bitter young dateless men from having a monopoly on it around here.

Women who apparently look for men with money because they don't want to work (mostly mentioned by men). Women shouldn't do the pursuing?

Get in the present. In this day and age both men and women should know how to cook and fix a tire. In this day and age both people usually work. In this day and age women should have their own careers and aren't looking for a man to support her, unless it's mutually agreed by both people that someone stays home (which is a choice).

Then we wonder why so many here can't find dates. When I did online dating I found so many men who asked me my cooking and cleaning skills because they expected the wife to do most of those chores as to them it was "women's" work. Sounded like they were looking for a maid. I work so I expect to share chores. So many men would brag about their salary thinking it would impress me. Sorry but I don't care what a man makes. Sure, income is important but only because I worked hard on my career and don't want a man to take it away or expect me to support him.
Well, I don't like them either, but you obviously have a gigantic blind spot of your own when it comes to gender. Do you not see the dozens of threads that essentially begin with "Why do all men..." or "Why do most men...."? They are rampant on this forum. Women are just as likely as men to try and stereotype the opposite sex.

Look at the female posters on here who think it's the man's job to be the "provider" and never pay for a date. It goes both ways.
I don't recall any female poster on here claiming that. If there is, she's a fruitcake.

Exactly how am I the last person to talk? The only men I bash are those who are delusional such as wanting skinny when they are fat or wanting much younger. I would say the same if it was a woman as well. I stand by those because it is delusional.

I ignore those threads and they tend to drop to the next page. However the women ones don't, which is the problem.

Your standing by it just emphasizes my point.

Plenty of fat people date skinny people. Plenty of older people date younger people. (Your boyfriend is one of them, remember?) It happens ALL. THE. FREAKING. TIME. whether you like it or not. Nothing delusional about it.

You bash men constantly. You never bash women. You hold a grudge because, when you did online dating, the men you liked weren't interested in you and vice-versa. Therefore, they must all be delusional. It's the only possible explanation, right? Welcome to real life. YOU are delusional to think you have any say over the preferences of others. You're bitter because you're only marginally interested in the guy you ended up with. You've said as much, repeatedly. It's sad. We'd have sympathy for you if you weren't constantly taking it out on others.

When you stop bitterly bashing men, you'll have the moral high ground to address the men who bitterly bash women. Believe me, I want them to stop as much as I want you to stop. Most of all, though, I want the hypocrisy to stop. Remove the beam from your own eye before you address the splinter in your neighbor's.

Don't forget divorced men or men who fathered children out of wedlock. Scum of the earth.
