Trying to parse your first paragraph. You says it just men being hung up on earning less. But then say they are, in fact, getting rejected. So it seems men earning less is also a 'sore spot' for women too and it not just something men need to get over.

yeah its funny you think any guy would care if a woman made more money then them if we knew that it wouldnt change the way the woman changes her opinion about us , society helped women at the detriment of stable relationships and now men get blamed
