Dating Now(not as easy as others make it)

I do not care who says otherwise but dating in this day and age, for a man that is, is one of the most difficult concepts ever in this life we live. If you have read to this point and have stopped reading, I completely understand, but please hear me out as I explain the main reasons why. For a man, dating nowadays is extremely difficult one of the main reasons is because we as men are in constant competition with: the women who aren’t interested in us, the women who like other women, and (for those who qualify please don’t be offended) the women who are not women at all. Not only that, but I in my own experience am one who carries qualities of someone very nice in this world, and that stigma “nice guys finish last,” I can say from that experience, is alive and well in the world. I for one can not seem to understand why the same women who say they want a good guy, look at people such as myself and not even believe that we are actually good people. Which brings me to another reason why dating for a man is difficult. If a man shows a woman any sort of kindness, according to most women in this day and age, that man is plotting something. So you mean to tell me that if I show a woman the respect that she so demands and believes she is entitled to, I have an ulterior motive? Can it be that I am complimenting you because I think you actually look beautiful and that I’m truly not trying to just “get in your pants,” or trying to get your number. I myself have established a long time ago that I am not going to attract every woman. That being said, if you believe that I am just showing anger and malice to the opposite gender, that is not the case at all. I and a lot of men who share similar qualities are just tired of the games being played by the gender who often says they “don’t have time for games.” I have always said, it is the people who say they “don’t have time for games”, are the ones who play them the most. These are women who say, they want a man who is honest with them, yet they still go for the liars of the world. It’s the women who always say they want a “good man,” but I think I speak for most of us when I say its those men who possess those qualities are the ones women overlook. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as one hundred percent good in anyone in this world. However, I have seen women overlook one man who, in my opinion was a guy who I considered a man in the ninetieth percent group. And just because of that ten percent, a woman had brushed him off. And one last reason that I really do not like is summed up in one word. That word is Simp. For those of you who do not know what a simp is, allow me to educate you. The word simp by urban dictionary definition, is defined as a man who is overly submissive to females. Now I know I put myself at risk of being called one by saying this, but this is my opinion not yours. I think the word simp is an excuse for some men to be disrespectful to women and for some women to date them. Again, I am not speaking to all women and I am not angry against the female gender. Everyone has standards, I get that. But it seems, at least from my experience, that standards have gotten more and more impossible to meet in this day and age. But that’s just one man’s opinion…
