I'm sure it's true for some women. But I wouldn't be surprised if most working women were either married or in a committed relationship. Plus, a lot of households have two incomes out of necessity. Both partners need to work full time just to make ends meet.
no i wish i was hot and toxic enough to have a sugar mommy
This reads like the "manspreading" video that Russia put out to get us to hate each other.
I make money to afford ddr5.
Best comment so far😂😂
Women hate men. They don't date men, go out with them, hang out, marry them, fuck them or become their girlfriends. This is known since time immemorial.

Plenty of men work overtime so they don’t have to go back to their wife or gf
One of my friends is going through a divorce and one of the reasons his wife gave us is that he would sit in his car in the driveway and look at his phone for a bit when he got home. There are other reasons but that one stuck out to me.
For the good
I answer work messages before I go in so that I can give my wife my attention when I walk in the door. I used to do it in the driveway but now I do it in the parking lot of the shop around the corner.
Yeah. That's my personal indicator that there's something wrong with my work setup; avoiding doing the thing that leads to the unpleasant parts. I guarantee he started hiding in his car after the relationship issues began.
Think there's some nuance needed. Occasionally ppl need some some time to decompress. Im positive a lot of ppl sit in their car after work to avoid their spouse but others just want sometime to themselves. Ive don't that being single and having roommates i actually like. Plus sometimes I was too lazy to get out of the car
Yeah, I get it. When I get home I don't want to talk to ANYONE I don't care if I like them or not. Just need a fucking minute to myself to decompress and switch gears. I can't speak much to his situation but knowing her and seeing how she greeted him at the door with shit when I was over there on more than one occasion I could see why he'd want to take a second before walking into that.

you know, i've always been wondering about whether that is secretly a covert plan of the wife so the husband works longer hours, makes more money and makes the family richer. i'd seriously not put that past some people i've met in my life ...

Yeah I'm short as fuck and socially inept. They're certainly not going to date me because I'm attractive.

Us men are working to not end up on the streets and dying of exposure or at the baton of a bootlicker.
Men go camping to get away from people.
Women go camping to meet bears.
Women need to get over their obsession with gay men we are not interested in them that's kinda what being gay is all about.

My sister has a pretty high up job in a bank
She has her own kid (bought through sperm donation etc)
Her own apartment and a summer home
Travels the world, with her kid
In all my life she has mentioned having a boyfriend twice, for very short periods
She fits this meme
Traditionally, men have been taught that to get married or have a partner, they need to be the breadwinner. This is partly due to women not having the right to own property, have a bank account, or credit cards until the 1960s/1970s. This means that there is a subset of men raised to believe having a job makes them an attractive partner, and that's the only thing they need to be an attractive partner.
Women on the other hand, have been entering the workforce, and the pay gap has narrowed. Now women make on average $0.85 to every dollar a man makes. Women can be and are financially independent. So now, as a man or potential partner, you have to bring more to the table than having a job.
I think this has led to the incel crisis. You have a subset of men that are emotionally stunted because they were not taught better; while women have a the peace and security that independence brings and they aren't going to disrupt that for just anyone.
Variation on the joke.
Parents of a high school age boy and girl have a photo on the living room wall.
It's a picture of a fat, bald old man in a Speedo standing on a yacht with a pretty girl hugging him.
