It's not that men can't handle "women like you". People generally just don't like people who are full of themselves and think they're too good for everyone else. We don't waste time and move on to nice women who are not insecure.

Your mom, aunt and some men you've dated are not 'society' so please hold off on being so hard done by as successful women. Are you a failure in your own mind? If no, then fuck what anyone else thinks. You don't even sound like you want to be married to anything but your career at the moment. Just enjoy your success and live the good life, okay?

I will say, modern men don't really have to grow up anymore. No need to provide, to protect or to show devotion really (apparently getting what we allegedly 'really want' from women is as easy as pie these days) You don't need us to be men in a traditional sense, but you want 'real' men to show up and meet your expectations? It's Bachelorette-worthy contestant or bust, eh?

I applaud you and your friends for being so successful and independent but I don't at all feel sorry for you that the men out there aren't up to your standards. Sounds like we're a bit confused by this new breed of 'real' women and a lot confused about what's expected of us. Oh well, back to the Xbox we go. 'Mom, can you iron my shirts for the week?' haha!

When you reach your mid thirties you'll realize Mom and the aunts were right as evidenced by all the confessions moaning about finding a good man before the bio clock stops ticking! I think modern women have put themselves into a position where they will be the main bread winners and the husband will be like the wife of the past - sitting around the house while the spouse is out at work!

Oh I'm jumping on this one, this is like free ice cream in grade school.

Eleven out of five men don't care about princesses unless they are from Monaco or mario world. ??

You are attractive by your standards and most likely a magazines ideal airbrushed look, not ours.

You went to a school and memorized the answers that where given to you in the very text book that you paid for with a loan. Clap, clap, clap. Now you have what is called debt unless your parents paid for it, then your whole point is moot.

You seem like an insecure girl who has been around the block once, maybe twice because of all the men you have been with.

Twenty six hey, you probably don't even know where money actually comes from and it's not a bank that makes it. Most likely never left B.C. either but you sure know how the world works!!

Your Aunt, your mother, your friends and you make yourself feel insecure and like a failure, not men or society. I have never seen one poster in my life about marriage shaming but I certainly do see a whole bunch of posters shaming men for being alive.

Meeting a few men does not make up all of society, if that where the case then ALL women are bat shit crazy by that default logic of yours because that is all I've met here.

Most girls like you that stand on that high pillar of salt end up being alone. Look around the city and listen.... you hear the echoes daily.... "Men suck, men are creeps, men are losers, this men that man but they never ask us out, why???? Men are not dumb contrary to the B.C. belief and can spot girls like you from orbit.

This post reeks of jealousy. Just because you went to school and have a job like EVERYBODY else does not mean the world owes you anything. The world was here before you and will be here after you're dust so better start praying for brains because looks fade.

Quote "My single friends and I" A bunch of single girls pouting and shifting the blame from internal to the knee jerk reaction most women take here and simply blame men for their woes.

Enjoy being single attractive independent ladies.

You still expect the man to pay :)

He wants a 50s woman because he wants SOMETHING in return. Most woman want the man to still pay for everything, and at the same time feel its sexist or wrong to contribute around the home.

It's quite obvious why you're not married. Stop looking down your nose at everyone.

It does not matter what your family says or society. What do you want? Why are you not looking for it? You better be sure what you are looking for because time goes by fast. Quit complaining and get out there and find what you want!!!

Yuck. And yuck. That's what everyone with a dick just thought of this ridiculous confession. Nobody wants to "handle" a relationship or a woman. Substitute handle with tolerate and you'd run in the opposite direction too.
While you're at it, just stop dating & your problem goes away. That's something we could handle/tolerate. Yuck

Thanks for this confession - I now understand why I'm single. My last date was so painful as the guy listed all his shortcomings before assuming I wasn't interested. He was a great guy so I didn't really understand his self deprecation. Now I do - he's met you and your kind before. Am I single because I'm too attractive and successful? No I'm single because people like you destroy the confidence men have dating in this city.
