The true solution is to be single. It's great, I suggest everyone try it.

MODERATORS
Being single and sticking to your guns i.e standards when it comes to dating. Don't be flexible. Don't be lenient. Don't compromise. Showing either means exploitation and people will want you to do things that'll undermine your standards.

7 years single, I dated someone several months ago, went back to being single, not sure I want a serious relationship again.
Society is made of the stories we tell ourselves.
Our stories have been pretty bad lately and selling fear and power fantasy still works as well as it always did.
I know it feels like bullshit and we all just say that people should just know and act better but they don't and they won't. They operate on what they think in their head is right.
I dunno. Maybe we need less stories maybe we need to tell better ones to inspire better. Maybe we do just need to BE better. I don't see it happening. We love the bad just way to much. Far more interesting.

When people play no-win games it is better to never play.
If you want relationships you work on your social skills.
If you want to go bear-hunting, well you go after bears.
If you want peace of mind just ignore these type of games.
So like if a woman prefers the strange bear does the strange man get let out of the woods?
