I’ve come to the conclusion that male and female dating standards are on the whole wild these days. We all talk like there’s a generally agreed on dating standard that we’re all supposed to know. Meanwhile I’ve seen a woman ask if there’s any tea or red flags about a man and then proceed to share a mugshot. While another woman thinks because she chatted with a guy on a dating app and then they met for coffee 2 weeks ago with no contact since then, that he’s a cheating boyfriend for meeting someone else for coffee. I knew from personal experience how crazy men could be but damn the stories some women tell on themselves is wild to me.
Discussion
One quick cup of coffee and she thought they were together?! 👀 Sounds like the kind of woman I would expect to see skulkin' about my front gate if we ever met. 😅
I’ve also seen a woman who kept sleeping around on a guy because they hadn’t had the talk. Meanwhile everyone thought of her as this guy’s girlfriend and it was blatantly obvious so did this guy. They’d been dating for months. I recommended she have the talk so they were on the same page but she knew what he was thinking and didn’t want reason to ruin her fun.
I went out on a first date I cut short and the guy thought I was the one. Like weeks later showed up at my doorstep crying at 3am. Then I know guys who are like 40 something thinking maybe I’ll settle down one day.
The dating pool is fair game batshit craziness.
Also I would fully expect that lady to be skulkin’ around the dude but also whichever poor woman he dates next.
There's no normalized standard of behavior, anymore, or rituals, so it's all become very subjective and haphazard.
Very true and I think it makes communication even more important.
The arranged-marriage societies may be on to something.
There’s a really funny comedian who has a bit about her sister choosing an arranged marriage and her choosing a love match. Let me find a clip.
Here’s a short clip. The whole thing is apparently super long.
🤣 She’s a riot.
