I noticed that many if not most women do quite a bit of work on themselves to be attractive, but that isn’t what the issue is. Let’s face it, women aren’t dolling themselves up to attract men. That isn’t why they do it. For a few million years, its been men making the moves, taking the risks of rejection, and supporting the women financially for the majority of cases in human history. Why are we doing it, men? Why are we supposed to be financially on the hook for almost everything that involve a relationship? First date (dates in general)? We are paying. Pregnant? We are paying. Rent etc? We are at least paying half but usually quite a bit more. I’m curious why more men who are over 6ft with six packs, and great jobs aren’t just saying “you are going to have to work for this, because at this point in human history, ive got way more to lose than you do.” Really think about it. If she wants to keep it, we are sending that check fellas. If she wants to move in, (a small bag and tooth brush at a time) and lounge around the house jobless so in return we can be graced with her presence, who is taking the real risk here? submitted by /u/TheNewAmericanGospel
