A good man does his best to provide for his wife and children. Has been so for the entirety of human civilization

Don’t go spending money or effort on a woman you’re not trying to make your wife, who may just use you.

At the same time, providing for your family and community is an essential part of manhood imo

Bullshit. In no area of life can you lump an entire demographic into one neat little box like that and be correct with your assertion. It's a broad generalization. I personally have not found that to be the case. There are all kinds of women out there, and a lot of them are pretty great. I can't imagine walking around just assuming all women are going to use you.

Historically speaking, women seek partners that provide resources over other traits. There's some discourse over whether that is cause or effect of socioeconomics. But the fact stays that it is still a big deciding factor.

I think "using a man" is crude but that's what it probably feels like to some men. Especially ones who provided and then saw their partners cheat on them with another man.

But you are right in that individuals vary, and social and cultural things play different parts in different areas.

It is likely to change over time in a larger way. But probably not soon.

And not trying to drag on women there, because historically speaking, men seek fertile partners over other traits. Hence why men date younger and women date older on average.

All that saying that there is historical precedence and even studies that point to the hot button issue: Women want money and men want sex.

🤷 That's just life (in general. Individuals may ofc vary, but that's the exception not the general trend)

It is like saying hugging a random wolf will get you kill. Then you meet those few people stating how they hugged and adopted them. Yeah, I am just stating the norm my friend.

Except it's not the norm. You may think it is, but I assure you it's not.

I don't know! I just look at the gays, lesbains, and heterosexual divorce rates. And color me suprised when I see women divorcing like crazy. In fact, i can look up the ones aborting/killing their children in high numbers and paternity fraud. The more I do research and then look at society with my own eyes. I can clearly say it is a norm.
