> tell Women painfully stupid stuff they want to hear

If you are looking for a reason for your travails, here it is. If you started out with this level of contempt, it’s no wonder you’ve been unsuccessful. If you became embittered due to your challenges, then I’m sorry. That is a hard path. But if you want it to change, I think you have some work to do. And I wish you luck with it.




His full sentence was:

> tell Women painfully stupid stuff they want to hear about their quantum vibrations matching and other new age nonsense.

Do you think "quantum vibrations matching" and "other new age nonsense" are not painfully stupid? Or do you just want to attack the parent comment?


The core conceit of their post is that women want to hear stupid things, and won't partner with them because they will not say them. This is essentially a misogynistic point of view and there is nothing wrong with pointing that out. Refocusing the argument on some peripheral part of what was said is not useful, because it doesn't address the core issue.


It absolutely is not misogynistic to point out that many women love to hear that sort of stuff, it's simple fact.

And no high-earning, rational male in a STEM career would ever want to be with a partner that values that sort of conversation.


The typical women are wonderful counterargument. Dime a dozen in threads like these.

I suggest you take your own advice and work on your issues that make you respond in a knee-jerk manner, blaming them like that, instead of assuming that OP may be correct in their assessment about the dating scene.
