I’m not denying men have standards put on them too, but me, and many, MANY, other women have it much harder than men when it comes to societal pressure and expectations. While I brought up small skinny and/or submissive as excuses... women having any type of cellulite, stretch marks, discolouration is also seen as terrible and shameful. I 100% disagree with you when you say men’s “personality standards” are equilivant to men’s, because quite frankly... that’s bs. I’m not invalidating the stress you feel... but I think any girl can agree with me here and say: body is only a plus. Men on here complain about women only liking dudes for his body... the exact same thing can be said for women.. if not more for us.

I didn’t bring up money because I really don’t think it’s relevant. I think lots of the time women expect men to pay for the first date simply because (at least on dating apps) they’re the ones who make the first move or ask.. I think it’s simply politeness on the first date, but later.. then I think it doesn’t matter and you should split/have one party pay for it.
