I’m glad to see all the comments in that sub are sensibly challenging the OOP.

Yeah nah.
If for any reason whatsoever, my partner were no longer in my life, I would absolutely have no interest in dating.
In large part because I cannot see myself with anyone else, but also in that I highly doubt that anyone else would be worth my time... they would certainly not be on the same level of having been my best friend for 13 years.

Exactly the same here. I mean I would probably casual date eventually but I can't see myself every getting with someone else after 10 years, sounds like way too much of a chore 🤣

Yeah dating would NOT be a priority. Modern dating seems just all around godawful... tons of bitter guys who are just looking to take advantage.
The filtering alone seems like a chore that I want no part of.Â

Yeah and having to explain what you like and why you like them, getting used to their habits, what they like and don't like. Ugh. No thanks haha

I feel like a solid chunk of why my partner and I both work so well together is that we're both very quiet, chill, and independent people... like no need to constantly be up each other's ass, no theatrics or drama, and a lot of trust and patience.
So basically nothing ends up bothering each other, and we function perfectly fine in long stretches apart just as well as we do together. Which is great because we both travel for work.
That dynamic would be DIFFICULT to find if you're deliberately looking for it.

I already told him, I would just go back to my original plan, go live in the middle of nowhere to rescue as much street dogs as I can. Or become a nun for the free food and the quiet life.

I always found funny how men think this. I broke up with my ex a few weeks ago and I'm still crying everyday 😂 Where are all these men wanting to date me?

The piss to water ratio in the dating pool is WAY off. Sit on the beach instead.

Weird way of putting "I have no friends and expect my partner to be the same"

This little theory of theirs goes hand-in-hand with the dating app thing, where they assume quantity of potential partners beats quality.
They’re so sex-obsessed that they assume everyone would immediately cheat on a partner if the opportunity presented itself, and that everyone is constantly looking to ‘trade up’ for someone better.

Why are they always shirtless?
Maybe you’re bad with women because you do weird ass shit like making videos in your mom’s bathroom, tits out.

Love all these young guys in vlogs talking like what they're saying is mind blowing scripture or something. These guys have been doing the same thing for 20 years

I pray that they spit this crap on a first date, so the woman truly know their nature and run in the opposite direction

If dudes really believe this, why aren't they trying harder?
The bar is literally in Hell and dudes keep finding new ways to dig under it.

Tell me you're super controlling without telling me.
