To those men who still participate in modern dating and relationships with women: why?

It seems insane to me. It's just an overwhelming set of risks.<br><br>With all this in mind, why would you even engage in a relationship with modern women?<br><br>1. The dating pool has been largely destroyed outside of Hinge and Bumble and a few other dating apps, of which all the women put "no hookups" in their description but proceed to offer to come over to your place to hook up on the first date, and still expect you to spend money on them, and will more often than not stand you up. It's like the definition of the word "woman" has devolved into traditional gender roles, but in which all the downsides are amplified to 15 while any benefits are amplified to 0.<br>2. They're all wildly insecure and will seek relentless attention and validation from other men, and worse, will think this is normal and healthy and you are in the wrong for objecting.<br><br>3. The vast majority of women seem to be incapable of having any depth of conversation. It's like their minds are completely occupied by TikTok or Instagram or alike. Women who can engage in deep conversation are an anomaly, and generally speaking are likely to be more self-aware and more emotionally intelligent.<br><br>4. In addition to all these personality flaws, many women today don't even take care of themselves anymore. Just go to your local Walmart and see the women waddling down the aisles there, or go to your local park and see the women who look like they're 45 but are actually 25. It's just rampant.<br><br>5. If things go bad, you're more often than not going to get fucked over by the family courts. If a woman just decides she doesn't like you anymore, she can take your kids away and get a majority of your money. Even if you have evidence that she's abusive, usually the courts aren't going to allow you to see your kids anymore.<br><br>6. Even outside of dating, women are more protected and coddled than ever. A woman is largely completely capable of doing or saying whatever she wants and suffering zero consequences. If you say or do something that offends her or a visiting woman, expect to be punished.<br><br>7. Easy and quick access to porn has destroyed the mindsets of many women. They are being conditioned daily that any attention they don't receive is an affront to their very existence.<br><br>With all these things in mind, I have to ask again: why engage in this? Why on earth would you want to participate in a system which is so stacked against you? Why is this of value to you?<br><br>I want to know so I can understand.
