I'm not a hamster that needs to constantly improve myself for the lackluster "reward" of a modern-day woman. I have zero motivation for working hard for these women at this point.

I work hard, exercise, and become knowledgeable for my own appetite. I will leave this country to retire when I'm 30 (or preferably sooner with an abroad job). At least there, I can retire at a beachfront property and get massages every day. The only thing stopping a woman's insatiable desire for more is society establishing realistic expectations. This society has failed. Look at any stat and that's apparent. Men are checking out for obvious reasons, women are continuing to ramp up demands, and a multitude of metrics point towards relationships taking a nosedive.

I will not "stay up with the times".
