No, I didn't write or imply that a man's worth is dependent on how women perceived him, but that women find men with resources attractive. Two different things. My stance is also implied by the link I posted, which shows what women consider attractive in men (the subject being women), not what men think women find attractive in them, got it?

Well, you can call money a servant or paint it anyhow you want it, but whether men like it or not, women will always judge a man from the depth of his pocket (ceteris paribus), not from the kindness of his heart. It hard pill to swallow I know, but that is what is it. Women, kids, and dogs are loved unconditionally, but men are loved on the condition that they can provide (Chris Rock). Women are human beings, men are human-doing. A woman will attract a man just for being a woman (with intrinsic values such as beauty, youthfulness), a man attracts a woman with extrinsic values such as his resources and social status. Of course, exceptions apply, but for the whole of human history, this has been the rule, which still didn't change.


Fact!

And where in my post did I say a woman is a cure for his loneliness? I'm simply calling him out for what also you think he is : "confident".

OP is everything, but confident. I already talked about this earlier. Loneliness is sometimes attributed to a low-self esteem, which I believe it is in Op's case.

You want to browbeat me emotionally & make me feel sad for creating this thread but you’ve failed.

You cannot get under my skin.

I don't approve of the bolded. Why would you go extra to pursue a lady? It is a bad idea. Yes women love the chase and any man they get in the chase usually are not worth it to them. I prefer being unpredictable. She resists you move on and let her wallow in the thoughts of if you'd come chasing again or not.

If you are someone spiritual enough to be led to a lady, then you would chase her extra.

If you feel that there are plenty fishes in the sea and you can point and kill, no need wasting a lot of time.

I believe in soul mates and that one person perfect for you. Most people rely on God to lead them to the person. Picking your soul mate from 3 billion people is an herculean task.

Of course, you can marry others and the marriage will be OK.

Your mind's default set is altering basic reality from your viewpoint. If you took off the mind-less, and perhaps read through the same comments of mine again this time with freshness and new perspective, perhaps you'll be able to gain accurate interpretation of my points.


Better put, I'm not responsible for your comprehension issues. It's your responsibility not mine


Deflection and small mindedness, that's what you're showing here, your comment is your comments, there is no freshness and new perspective or interpretation of you saying "menopause causes bitterness and is self inflicted, people like you portray yourself to the world as reasonable, tolerating and unbias, but within yourself, you are struggling with keeping your crass, hate-filled, female bashing venom in check, some days you try and succeed, other days, you lash out when you cant help yourself, today is one of those days,

A man that cannot see faults in his negative comment, who is trying to justify his use of a natural phase to belittle females, just to be seen or perceived as woke, while getting an online pat on the back from his ilks here, is not to be taken seriously or regarded as worthy in any ramification.

I call out people, whether male or female, I call them out when there is a negative generalisation or untrue words of any gender, this is a forum where people learn, not a gender competition or degradation just to appease whoever, enough said.

Thesedays everyone comes up with terminologies and that it springs up on Google almost makes it a fact if not challenged. How loneliness equates low self esteem defeats me. As even God saw single men at a phase of being lonely even without a woman and chose to create/bring in a woman. If a man can be lonely before the creation/entrance of a woman, then loneliness has little to nothing to do with female companionionship/confidence but a feeling of numbness brought about by inactivity or inability to fill a void.


So a man can be lonely with or without a woman, and thus isn't I confident because he's lonely. Let's not get it twisted here.

Did you even read my post? I never claimed his reason of loneliness is due to him not having a partner, but him having a low self esteem.

He cares too much about what others think of him. His reasons of not asking girls out is not because he does not feel like or see it as sth. not necessary, but because of them rejecting his advances.

His reason for wanting to earn a lot of money is also based on him feeling unworthy of being loved if otherwise.
You don't claim to be unbothered, if you care that much about what others think about you.

Besides, this is no war. We are all having a healthy conversation. It’s the deplorable feminazis who want to weaponize this thread to lob their hateful ideas.

Sounds so simple yet it isn't. If money was all it takes to attract and keep a woman Chris Rock's wife would not have divorced him. We are not attracted to a singular trait but to a combination of traits. Nobody likes lazy people. In traditional societies women need to know that a man can feed the family but a man needs his wife to take care of the home which is a whole lot of work too. In more progressive societies a woman who has no education and no job will not be considered by men who have a choice. Bill Gates didn't go for younger models when he became rich and Barack Obama married a woman who was his supervisor in the law firm he started. Human relationships are complex and not every woman is after your money.

I agree with your line of reasoning, but you're overly reading meanings that weren't conveyed. Never in any part of his posts did I see all these.


Rejection is normal. Trust me we men know. Until full financial stability is attained, a man is doomed to continous rejection. I only wondered how women like Mrs. Ameachi got married to a broke ordinary English graduate at this time, or Mrs Thorpido from here or Goodluck, who later became president. I wonder what those women saw to choose to settle for broker dudes

Perhaps I am over analysing things, perhaps I'm also not. I already stated why I had come to my conclusions.

"Once I sense a whiff of indifference or disinterest by a woman, I flee to protect my ego"




"I firmly believe that a man’s value is inextricably tied to his economic worth"

"This has discouraged me from initiating a chase as I think it won’t be worth it in the end as it will all end up with the money issue."


That in my opinion is not of someone who has a healthy self esteem and or is truly unbothered.

If you ask someone out, you should accept rejections as well as being accepted. Everyone has their reason, some more reasonable than others. Someone with a healthy self esteem wouldn't be bothered. Everyone is free to have their preferences.

Albeit could be your interpretations of events


Furthermore, being on the defensive to protect ego could be hinged on alot of other factors besides a weak/unhealthy esteem. To narrow it down so hastily as ill esteem is what we're saying is an hasty move here. Not that your points are entirely. Invalid

Noticed how you started with " your interpretations".

The bolded is the reason why you females are angry, correct?

How does it differ from my assertion that you just want to have the satisfaction to see men chase you & suffer?

Just like you feel it’s men’s obligation to face it, some of us feel we can boycott that problem by being getting sufficiently ready before facing it.

There was no need for the war of words we have had on the thread. I attribute the problem to the usual suspects who are resident trouble on this section.

Kunle I didn’t even know you’re the same account as the healthcare (or something) account. I wouldn’t have quoted that your post even though I agreed with it. I would have just read and moved on.

That’s what I usually do for accounts that I know for certain are bent on disrespect. Like you can’t even agree with them without them finding a way to turn around and give a low unnecessary blow. How much more when you disagree with them. Then it’s all ad hominem and personal attacks that’s usually not related to the topic.

Or trolling with multiple troll accounts.

So kunle is healthcare. Noted

No, I don't need validations trust me. I don't give a fvck.
