    So you would be okay with being dumped the moment you lose your job or don’t make ‘enough’ money for the other person’s tastes? Happy even, for the other person?

    That’s what dating is like for a man. You are only as good as your paycheck or how much you spend on the last date/vacation. You are seen as a failure as a male partner if you are not continually providing. Sounds like you haven’t had the experience of dating as a man.

    It’s a basic functional reality of most relationships. Sort of like looks. Most people dump people when they stop being physically attracted to them or wanting to have sex with them.

      Sorry to hear you’ve had that experience. You’re more than the value capitalism says you have.

      Cheers.

        I am, but that doesn’t mean other people don’t see me that way. and i have no control over that.

        i do a lot of volunteer work, but a lot of my dates think it is stupid and dumb because it’s not about making money or spending it.
