I always gage whether or not a condom will fit by comparing it while still in the wrapper.

This post got way longer than I expected. Rant incoming, proceed if you dare.

I sympathize with these guys on some level due to my own experiences. They're still doin it wrong, but I get it. Rejection after rejection gets to you after a while- You know it's entirely superficial things that lead to it which makes it all the more frustrating. Women won't even bother to get to know YOU if you don't give some upfront bullshit first. They don't care about your intellect, your hobbies, your interests, your compassion, your ability to compromise, your willingness to give your heart to them despite the VAST emotional risks that that entails.

They care about your appearance and those first few words. They care about how you can literally carry a conversation... because you'll be the one fucking carrying it. They're not going to give you shit unless you're drop-dead gorgeous because that's what princess deserves.

All men require is "Hey that girl is attractive. I'll try to get to know her." Many women (the still-single and attractive ones that these dudes go for) have a gigantic checklist of things and will find any excuse to get you away from them if you don't meet their standard to the T.

I didn't understand why women put up so many barriers. I didn't understand why they didn't want to talk to me. Why they showed no interest or rejected me outright.

Eventually I learned how to weave the barriers. I learned how to make myself presentable enough in appearance and approach so that I could get past all of those superficial requirements that every woman has. Then I showed them "me" which they ate the fuck up. Then I got bored of them because eventually you find out that these women have nothing for substance. Nothing to their personalities that is actually impressive or attractive. Some things look promising at first until you learn that they just fell into a routine rather than a genuine hobby or interest.

I met the checklists and, honestly, all I found was garbage. I came to find out that those same women that put up the defenses are the ones that really DON'T have anything to offer outside of their appearance or willingness to do things with my penis. They just wanted a handsome nice man to accept all of their bullshit without question. They didn't want to concede to anything, they didn't want to learn compromise, they didn't want to learn change, they didn't want to grow the fuck up.

That's why they are attractive, late 20s to early 30s, and single.

TL:DR Women suck. Especially the attractive, single, entitled ones that are abundant. The shitty ones outnumber the good ones but the good ones are out there. As much as it sucks to be alone and patient, the good ones are worth waiting for and don't require a facade. Source: Married. My wife is awesome.
