This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

Im not surprised. Don't get me wrong its easy to say all women are like this but some women are. I myself dated a girl back in the day who was otherwise nice and such but I felt she did not so much love me as I checked various boxes that made me acceptable. That just did not work for me. My wife on the other hand apprciated my qualities that I view as more core to my being. You know though I had a type and my wife was not the type but that other girl was. Then funnily I worked at a place and one of the people I worked with was a very typically hot girl. Later it turned out she was engaged to the manager of the office. I knew her pretty well and she said they met at a wierd (my term) social club where you either have to be a hot young chick or a successful man. Figure doctor as sorta a baseline. I believe it was free for the women but the men paid a fairly sizable fee.
