Mankeeping: why single women are giving up dating
As the male social circle continues to shrink, their partners have to take on much more emotional labour – and many are opting to spend their lives alone instead

"Articles" like this bs always paint the woman as some emotionally superior creature and the men are just a burden on them, but I've met far more emotionally draining and tedious women who don't have their shit together than men. I say this as a gay man who isn't interested in sleeping with women so I don't have a horse in the race with respect to that.
Can't we just accept that we are all human beings and likely are all flawed in some way and that even if you don't see it, your partner is likely sacrificing and having to put up with your shit just like you have to put up with theirs.
So long as you aren't hurting each other or cheating, you're probably trying to convince yourself if you have to write some kind of dumb fanfic conversation like this to make you feel better about your lack of relationship.

Such a great take. We will all give and take in a relationship, be there and need the other to be there. As soon as one starts feeling like they’re doing all the “put up with”, they need to take a step back, figure out what their needs are, and talk to their partner.
And separately, a lot of people are just not emotionally intelligent. That’s harder to solve unfortunately.
Say wha? Logic?
