The hardest pill for women to swallow is that average men love us far more unconditionally than we love them. A regular guy making a standard wage will gladly date a woman with zero income, pay for her meals, and support her dreams without ever making her feel inadequate. But the exact second an average-earning man loses his job or hits a financial rough patch, a massive percentage of women instantly lose respect and look for an exit. We demand unconditional loyalty, but only offer conditional love.

The hypocrisy around "acts of service" in modern dating is insane. When a man runs a bath for his girl, gives her a massage, breakfast in bed and caters to her every whim, the timeline swoons and calls it "princess treatment, he is a real man" But the exact second a woman makes her man a plate, rubs his shoulders after a long day, or caters to his peace, the timeline attacks her, calls her a "pick-me," and screams about domestic slavery. We have romanticized receiving service but completely demonized giving it.
