When a girl says shes an introvert shes cute but when a guy says it hes a loser? Yet people esp wives gfs complain their men dont express themselves or share deep feelings. But if a guy opened up emotionally they run away cause hes now a pussy and they want outgoing men.
It seems like society seems more accepting of women having their own standards while expecting men to have standards women want them to have. It's bullshit but that's how I see it.
Luckily for me, I don't play by that game.
I can't speak for other countries, but I know in America right now it's a very strange situation that men, especially those trying to play the "dating game", are in.
It seems women want equality and are all for it, but still also want the preferential treatment that being a woman entitles them to. Basically equality in the workforce and traditional treatment in the dating game. As if this wouldn't be confusing enough, if you (as a man) have expectations approaching traditional gender roles you get labeled as a sexist. But men are still expected to "be men" and adhere to traditional male gender roles.
As a side note I've also personally observed, much to my own amazement, the phenomenon of women being very interested in the men, well boys really, who can't seem to get their act together and be a functional adult.
I find it interesting that women can have women only clubs, but that is totally illegal for men. I think my favorite double standard is letting female sportscasters INSIDE men's locker rooms, yet gawd forbid a male sportscaster even stands outside a women's locker room.
I believe the credibility of the 'women's movement' has been severely damaged by the double standard, and yet the radicals in the movement still think men are to blame for everything in their lives that isn't as they wish it was.
Yes, the way men are expected to behave emotionally speaking is fucked, but wtf is your actual question?
Yeah, there's still certain pressure for a guy to "act like a man." But I'm OK with it. Vive la difference.
I've seen a total badass man who's ex Special Forces cry and not lost a bit of respect for him. He's my best friend, I love him with all my heart; he my father!
