I’ve heard women say “men are too easy” when talking about dating. Is that true?

I don’t really think that this is a gender issue, but more of a societal issue. It’s more about how people were socialized and how they view themselves.<br><br>For example, my partner and I were talking about our friend who has been in a relationship for a while and his ex is now trying to get back with him. My partner said he saw her flirting with him recently and told him to not engage with her because she was clearly just trying to get back together. He told him he didn’t want to give her false hope and that she should be out of the friend zone.<br><br>We also have a mutual friend who was cheating on his girlfriend with another girl. We were talking about it and I asked my partner what he would do if I cheated on him. He told me he’d be really hurt, but he would want to give me a chance to change. I asked if he’d want to stay in the relationship and he told me no, but that he’d want me to try. We talked about how the relationship would be going to be different if he were in the woman’s place.<br><br>This is an example of why I don’t think it’s gender. It’s not like men are wired to be passive or women are wired to be aggressive. It’s just how we’re taught to act and how we view ourselves.<br><br>I’d also like to point out how women are expected to be nurturing, but men are expected to be aggressive. So, men who are more nurturing are often seen as more attractive and more desirable. And women who are more aggressive are often seen as less attractive. It’s a bit weird how we put women in this box of having to be nurturing and men in this box of being aggressive.<br><br>I’d also like to point out how the way we view men and women is not based on biology, but based on societal and cultural expectations. For example, men are expected to have muscles and women are expected to be skinny, but it doesn’t make sense to apply those expectations to everyone.<br><br>I’ve also noticed that women will say that men are easy when they’re dating someone who is more attractive, more desirable, and more high status. So, I think it’s more about how we’re socialized to view ourselves. Men are socialized to be more attractive and more desirable. Women are socialized to be more attractive and more desirable.<br><br>But it doesn’t mean that men are easy. Men are also taught that they should be in control and make decisions. Men are also taught that they should be the ones to ask out and not the ones who are asked out. It’s more about how men and women view themselves and how they were socialized to act.<br><br>So, is it true that men are easy when it comes to dating? I think it’s not true. Men are taught that they should be more attractive and more desirable. Men are also taught that they should be more in control and make decisions. It’s not about being easy or difficult, it’s about being socialized to act a certain way.
