Men No Longer Want to Date, Why?

'

The comments on eating and calling you a whippet are just projection of their own discomfort with their own weight, fitness and eating habits. In my own experience as a tall and slim guy when I have dug deep and asked ex partners about why women tend to like like "big" men is they don't want a bigger guy because they feel "protected" they prefer that build because it makes them less conscious about their own size.

This vulnerable/desperate/naive/innocent is just waffle 95% of the time.

The girl knows full well what she is deciding to do and whom she is deciding to do it with and the actual intentions of the other person. There is nothing wrong with it if that is what she wants to do, but there is no point in her getting what she wants, and him getting what he wants, and then her pretending that there was ever going to be more.

What might happen could be something along the lines of self-delusion of "sure I know what he's after but given that I am special, he will surely change his mind for me".

Is maternity leave and maternity bebefit unpaid? Can men choose to take the time as primary carer and get the benefit?

Sure. And the question I asked was:

Is maternity leave and maternity benefit unpaid? Can men choose to take the time as primary carer and get the benefit?

The 2 weks mandatory leave is just for the mother to recover. The next 26 weeks paid leave are only available to the mother. No choice for families to decide how to divide the time. That's primarily a men's rights issue as men would win the right to take paid parental leave, but the family is the beneficiary because the family gets to decide how to work.

I am late 30s.

You don't recall correctly. It's 2 weeks as I said before.

Still no interest in engaging with the suggestion that equal parental leave is a men's rights issue which is worth pursuing?

You're right. It's 2 weeks before and 4 after birth.

You have avoided discussing the fact that 26 weeks paid parental leave is only available to the woman in the form of maternity benefit.

No interest in dating right now (mid 30s). Have zero in common with most women and for me going through a lot of bull sh1t and expense in order to get the leg over some girl who thinks she's god's gift is just not worth the hassle. I have a good job, own car, place etc so don't need a woman. Have a few girls on the go but they're FWB situations which suits me fine.

The apps are a total waste of time, all you get is over weight women who've been left on the scrap heap. The good looking ones just want an ego boost. No thanks.

Good point
