With this whole #metoo campaign and how easy it is to get a false rape or harassment charge, it seems so easy for a female to ruin a man’s life. Plus, women don’t seem to really like men and I always hear females say such negative things about men in general (all guys are jerks). It also seems to be impossible to deal with women’s mood swings. Also I have seen many relationships where women go from being really sweet to being manipulative over the years. I want a relationship but women get bored with you if you treat them with respect and see you as weak. This is exactly how my ex saw me and many men have the same story. I just don’t know what to do. I want a relationship but getting in the wrong relationship can ruin a persons life permanently. My ex already hurt me pretty bad and I can’t deal with another failed relationship but I need to be with somebody.
Edit: I don’t NEED to be with anybody! I am ok being alone most of the time

I believe you are coming at this from the wrong angle and generalising way too much. The #metoo campaign is intended to bring people's wrongdoings and abuses of power to light, not 'ruin a man's life' or lead to sweeping statements about men and women.
The true risk, which I applaud people's bravery in taking although I'll never understand their choice, is letting someone into your life and giving them the power to hurt you. Can't do it, won't do it.
Who isn't afraid of being vulnerable and getting hurt? I surely am, but you know, that's just part of gawd damn life Personally, its a risk worth taking, for I only live once.
As for this #metoo. I think its getting carried away to the extreme. I just read an article (posted in another sub-form) that a mother wants to ban a book "Sleeping Beauty" from school curriculum, because it was teaching boys inappropriate behavior (kissing a sleeping woman without consent)
LOl hahaha
At this rate, men will need a notarized written consent from a woman and body cam before they interact with any woman, Lol.
Isn't the sleeping beauty story about Al Franken? Bc that looks kinda like a picture out of a story book...
Agreed, nothing's changed for the regular guy, it's the predators who may want to change their ways. IMO.
Do some internet research under the term MGTOW. More men these days agree with you. They believe relationships with women are too risky. Youtube and reddit are full of info on this. You are not alone.

I only take the risk if I want the reward, mate. There are no prizes to win by being with me, either for me or a woman who may decide she wants to.
'Don't be so down on yourself,' you might say. I'm being realistic. I am selfish, solitary and often emotionally absent because I prefer to put all my time and energy into my work or writing. That's how I want to be remembered, and it matters more to me than what some would call being a decent person.
No MGTOW here, by the way. Many of those 'men' seem to blame women for their problems and shortcomings rather than take responsibility. A woman treated you badly, hurt and then left you? Newsflash- nobody comes into your life unless you roll out the carpet for them. As the old saying goes, it takes two to tango. Perhaps your average MGTOWer would do well to look in the mirror and own his part in why the relationship didn't work out.
I recognised long ago that I am not partner or husband material, and very unlikely to be anyone's first choice for either. Once I decided not to make love a priority, or even an option, that allowed me the freedom to focus on things that matter more to me.
1.) It also seems to be impossible to deal with women’s mood swings.
2.)Also I have seen many relationships where women go from being really sweet to being manipulative over the years.

All you have to do is the opposite of what you’ve been doing.
1.) DONT stay with a women that has massive mood swings.
2.) women can only manipulate you if you let them
3.) just don’t be weak and set boundaries.
It sounds to me like you want a relationship with no work whatsoever. That will never happen. If you don’t learn how to deal with these issues you might never meet someone that is right for you. There’s a balance of everything to obtain, and you have to learn how to deal with all the rough to get to the diamond.

This. I find that the men who complain about #MeToo have very negative views about women. False accusations are far rarer than these men seem to think.
I'm skeptical of men who claim to be confused about sexual harassment and afraid of getting accused. It's not difficult to not sexually harass other people. For a rule of thumb, don't say or do anything to a woman that you wouldn't want your 300-pound cellmate Bubba to say or do to you.
