Bare Minimum Men Suck.
Any sign of inconvenience or effort, and they'll portray you as the villain because they quietly harbor disdain for women. They're only interested in two things: sex and boasting.
They will make you think that you are the problem. They will negate everything you say and make you feel in the wrong because they can't accept that they are bare minimum, low-effort individuals of the male species. They will make you cry every day. They will make you think you're too much. They will make you believe you are unlovable. You're not, and I'm over it.
They legitimately hate doing anything if it doesn't benefit them. You express your desires in the relationship, and what happens? They resent you for suggesting that they need to improve their subpar efforts.
Why is it hard for men to do things you tell them you like? For example, you say you like going out on dates and looking pretty on Friday or Saturday night. Basically, you want a date night that you have NO input in because you want to feel special, like he actually loves you, cares about you, and wants to make you feel special. He says 'okay' like he hears you, but he doesn't actually take any initiative.
Any sign of inconvenience or effort, and they'll portray you as the villain because they quietly harbor disdain for women. They're only interested in two things: sex and boasting.
Oh, if you're a male reading this, it's too late. Before you say 'not all men,' it's in the title: Below Bare Minimum Men. I didn't say all men are below the bare minimum. Anyways, men like to boast
What is boasting?
Basically, they use you to brag to their male friends that they are (not in order) getting laid by a pretty girl and boast that they've secured a girl their friends will smash. In simpler terms, you are used as a status symbol in their friend group.
How to avoid crappy men like this?
Ask about his friendships? Female friends red flag unless they grew up together because his mom/dad best friend kid. Even that’s a stretch for me but I probably (not) give him a chance.
Are his friends married? Single? Do his friends bad mouths their significant others? If yes double red flag. He’ll complain about you too to his other low effort friends.
If all of his friends are in long term relationships unmarried you won’t be treated any better (if that’s what you want) .
Just be mindful who you put your time, energy, and greatness in.
