You'd think so but there seem to be an awful lot of women(at least on the internet) who have looked around at the men at their level and decided those men aren't good enough for them so they'd rather be alone and have occasional hookups with higher tier men who are willing to go slumming every once in a while.
This is certainly what I feel is happening. I think in the age of quick hookups being arranged online, some of these women are lulled into thinking these higher tier men are obtainable if they wait for the right one that just goes a little farther with them emotionally. And in today’s society there isn’t much controversy about a woman having casual sex with many men as a single woman.
However, I’ve heard discussion about it actually being harder for women to develop and maintain a long term relationship as their number of partners increases.
I'd actually love to see the stats of how many regular women have dated or are actually holding out for some dude with a yacht. I live in flyover country. Yacht ownership is surprisingly low in these parts.
You would be amazed. I hear it all day at work. Every one of my female coworkers wants a rich man so they can stay home and eat themselves to death.
Are the women these men are pursuing doing all of this as well?
I think women are more often told (by women and men) what they shouldn't do to attract a partner. Make the first move. Have sex before the Xth date. Be smarter, taller, or wealthier. Have a child. Dress in revealing ways. Have a sexual history. Have platonic male friends.
Etc. I can tell you the most difficult barrier I have faced in dating over the years is the fact that I am a college-educated professional with a successful career and a higher-than-average salary. I have literally been ghosted after a potential date viewed my LinkedIn profile. More than once.

1. Nope. Nothing wrong with that.
2. With me, since I have reversed the dynamic, *I* decide when *I* am ready for that.
3. Couldn't care less about any of it. More to come on it later.
4. Eh... not an issue... but if it's tasteless, then could be.
5. LOL... depends.
6. No.problem... as long as *they* know it's platonic. Most dudes try to 'wriggle' their way in through some 'back door' - not THAT sort, get your head outta the gutter.

That's easy. Most women *expect* 'their man' to do more, make more, etc. All about being a 'real man' and stuff. Toxic patriarchal 1950s BS.
Plenty of stuff out there about how women disrespect men who don't make as much as they make - go check it out. And even if the guy does all the 'domestic' stuff too.

Really missed the point. But you found yet another way to make it all about you and engage in a little whataboutism so we know how how terrible you believe women are.

All right. Since you know better than everyone else, YOU make the point. The mic is yours, let's go.
And no one has said - or thought - that women are 'terrible'. I am in a relationship with a woman who, while not perched on your lofty level of haughtiness, is a wonderful person who is worth my time and love. Enough of your damn aspersions.
And enough of the "make it about you" BS. Everyone here brings their perspective into discussions, perspectives that are based on personal experience. BTW, you "made it about YOU" when you brought up being ghosted. Yeah, "ok for me but not for thee", huh?
Now, if that distresses you in any shape or form, you know what to do. Here's the door...

I wonder if they figure you'll eventually want to "date up" and they know their career is not at a higher level than yours.
