Gets more important as you get older, actually.
Letting a chick mooch off you for too long in a common-law state is a bad-idea. Kids with a poor chick is also a bad idea. All of this is moot if you just plan to give her half your stuff early-on; I won't lie, that's more mature than demanding someone you are better-off than put up with your shit indeffinitely; but try that before the relationship ends, and you're likely to find she has no more use for you.
Friend of mine has three criteria for women, aside from attractive which is just a given in his dating pool:
House (at least somewhere to go where she's welcome and not abused)
Income (ideally a job, but passive-income works)
Vehicle (or willing to use whatever form of transport it takes to get her need$ met without constantly borrowing/demanding rides)
If she's not bringing all three to the table, you're paying for whatever you get out of the relationship, somehow. Me? I don't think that would bother me so much were I to find myself single, but I have other criteria re: emotional and overall maturity, and women who have those figured out tend to have the House, Income, Vehicle thing worked-out as well.
Lastly, it goes without saying that if you're not bringing all that to the table, you don't get to be so picky. These are long-term-relationship criteria, but people would be so much healthier if they knocked these all out before pretending they deserve to be anyone else's one-and-only.
Did I complain that boys were facing-consequences for this or something? Short of the escalation you've mentioned when it comes to light, they don't, so ... Did I condone the behavior? Because it sounds like you are.
One of us here is pretending that its an a-okay scenario, so long as it doesn't lead to rape, assault, or murder, and frankly ignoring that only one-of those is out-of-the-question-from-a-girl-enough to be almost-entirely written-off. That one of us? Its not me.
You want to know where those end-points start? One of the paths is right there in four-panels, it doesn't magically work-out when the roles are reversed, and a double-standard isn't what's going to fix it.
Weird that you assume I'm the one with that problem among all of those here. I've been very clear that I consider this a maturity-issue for both genders, and that its something re-inforced by society. Boys learn from Girls as much as from anyone else. What's your excuse for ignoring all-that to come at me with such an absurdly-shallow take?
You've offered nothing for me to need to defend against. Bye now.
Look in a mirror? Stop projecting? I've sad my peace on this forwards and backwards now, probably twice-over, sure, but ...
I blocked the other person who replied to my top-level comment before I went to work last night, replied to something much shorter I saw in-kind today, then you show up and yeah, I gave my initial reply to you more effort than it warranted because I confused your comment for canofcam's arguments taking a dive into the absurd -literally jerking-off their own ego ...
... but no, it was you. Fuck-off. I owe you nothing and wish I could take back the effort I spent replying to your low-effort shit-stirring. You've contributed nothing here and are well-into just-trying-to-create-some-drama territory.
I would be happy for you that your experiences and those of my friends(men and women) and myself have so little in common, but that gives you no right to drag me into your non-sense.
You just described exactly why the "tire noise is enough, you just gotta go fast" comment was so stupid, but also yours is stupid and backwards because drivers do drive faster than they should.
You can look both ways and still get hit by a car that was around the corner, just turned onto your street, or was just going that much faster than other cars or what you realized when you saw them. Tire noise is far from enough to call that out and make you look-again, in-time; Even if you keep your head on a pivot as you walk.
Its far from rare for men to be on the recieving end of this from women, as well.
Marry me.
/s, but you're so un-believably right, that it hurt to think about all the trouble and subsequent need to vent people could save themselves, but won't.
Looks more like virtue-signalling to me. Those out-raged aren't the intended audience, they're the punch-line.
Exactly what I was getting at. Often paired wonderfly with loud-ass holes in the exhaust. These people think its a joy to encounter in the wild ... try driving it. Trust me, the driver wishes walking, bike-riding, bus-riding, car-pooling, whatever, were viable for their situation, almost certainly more than you do.
Met them on their own moral-high-ground/maturity-vs-immaturity playing-field?
Look, I'm not trying to get them to admit I'm completely right. I don't even assert that I am. I'm asking them to check me, which inevitably leads to checking-one's-self, unless they're beyond help. Until I'm certain someone's beyond help, I'll mock them, stoop to their level, whatever it takes to shock them into looking in the mirror with something other than certainty and pride in their flawless facade. Ideally, I'm the kind of person who prefers to be proven wrong, particularly about the shitty aspects of like ...
... but still, that requires substantiation. All they've done here, and now you, is sling mud, and when it comes to pigeons and chess-boards, I occassionally find myself with the time, identifying with the Goodfeathers for shits and giggles.
Don't confuse me for thinking I'm better than y'all, or trying exempt myself from the facts about boys(most of what separates me from them is decades, I know), but don't tell me their metaphorical asses and dingle-berries aren't hanging-out for the world to see in this thread eaither.
I like that world-view for you. Never change.
The fact you don't understand how long girls and boys, but especially girls, get-away with carrying this behavior into the workplace shows yours. There are Companies, seemingly the majority in the US, IME, where this is their culture. It meshes all-too-well with the patriarchal shit that these same girls and yourself claim to despise.
Until you can mature-enough to stop identifying with every xx or feme-person no matter how toxic or immature their behavior, you are no more ready for this conversation than they.
No disagreement here. Gimme a speaker or three, and let me decide what plays on it. Too bad an Ice-cream-truck jingle would just tease people.
Honestly, the single biggest reason this doesn't get my up-vote is that removing it is almost-as effective for noise and basically free. I mean, if shope and shade-tree mechanics were charging enough for any of it, would this really be the problem it is?
My (grown)kids' bitching about naked people in shows or movies is itself about as amusing to me as porn these days ... or it would be if it didn't make me wonder where I went wrong. Is it hurting you? If not, for the love of god, let it be.
