Why Does Romance Now Feel Like Work?

I have not read either of these books, but a lot of what the complaints of women boil down to these days is that they are finally being treated substantially (but not completely) like men in the dating market. And it turns out that in fact despite what they claim to want that, no, they do not like this. Because who would? Dating for men is absolute hell. Also, there is a whole lot of “Feminism for thee, but not for me” going on as well.

As with men, combine entitlement, absurd expectations and the desire for dominance rather than equality and you get nothing pretty.

Maybe one day I’ll read either or both of these books. But one thing I can commiserate with women on (despite their near infinite choice compared to men) is that yes, dating sucks and I’m glad to not be doing that.
