    women and all other genders are equal to men and they need to put in just as much effort on a date as a guy does.

    You’re spending a lot of money and time on your hair, makeup, and outfit right? Probably asking friends for advice and thinking about it all week? Not eating the day of, so you look your best? Wearing expensive cologne and some shoes that make your butt look good?

    You’re doing all that right? I know you want to be equal and put in just as much effort, so you must be.

      I literally track every calorie and workout every day to look remotely decent for women, yes. I have no hair, so that part is less relevant.

        That’s not expensive. And I do the same because it’s fun to workout. Tracking calories is like 10 minutes per day.

        It’s always the people doing the least who complain the most. You didn’t mention anything else, so I assume you don’t ask anyone for advice, don’t wear an expensive outfit, and don’t put on cologne. Hopefully you shower but you didn’t mention that either…

          I’m a different guy, just had my heart broken. I put an extraordinary amount of effort into relationships, to the point it is considered self-betrayal by professionals. Just saying it’s not always so one-sided.
