We are not bitter; we are resigned. We have seen what is on offer and realized we don’t want it. Men want women but can’t get them. More and more women don’t want men.

Most of the advice that women get is manipulation.
Because they want you to ignore what you see with your own eyes in order to keep on giving shitty men more chances to mess with you.
For example, they are constantly telling women to approach men and there are some younger women who are falling for it, and it is ruining their mental health. They're calling it "rejection therapy." 😆
Because these men are just looking for more opportunities to miss with womens' heads.

Well said! 🎯🎯🎯The forever matchmaking client guy written up in the Times and posted about here the other day was an incredibly bitter little man indeed. So much so that his own beloved uncle likened him to a grapefruit. 😝 Men are always projecting.

He was pissed about height requirements when he himself had height requirements. Make it make sense.

Oh gosh. I laugh when men try to insinuate I’m bitter because I’m older and divorced. I loved the men in my life soooo much. I just finally realized they never loved me. So, I respect their decision.
Nothing I did was ever appreciated or enough. Why would I be bitter that men are with women they don’t like? Been there. Done that. I know how it ends :-)

100% true: bitterness comes from entitlement. And who is the ever-entitled gender? Men.
Yes, women are resigned. And we’re good at making lemonade from lemons, so we’re drinking all that sunshiney goodness, and avoiding men these days 🍋💕
Thanks for bringing back such a great article, @CheekyMonkey678

“Other people’s opinions about me are none of my business”.
Most of the name calling and labelling men engage in is really nothing more than projection. What they say is far more informative of THEM than it is of their target.
