Men don’t even want to pay the bill anymore.

Where have all the good men gone?

Indeed.

Where are all the bloody good men!?

Most women think the dating game is broken, but what if they’re simply just playing by outdated patriarchal rules?

The patriarchy you rightly wanted to demolish.

Complaining about dating under patriarchy while still insisting on patriarchal dating norms is like smashing the clock and asking why you’re late.

Where the fuck have you been?

Stop trying to cling to outdated and archaic patriarchal dating norms.

Most of which you still demand.

Pay for your own meal; maybe you can ask him out. Maybe just maybe, you can plan the first date. Here’s an odd notion: what if you sent the first message by actually reading his profile!?
