I'm going to wager some young women are just as brutal, if not more so, in private with their friends...
Personally, I think that the modern dating worlds caters well for people who can separate sex and emotion (or at least pretend to) but doesn't do so well for people who need a deeper connection before jumping into bed or really yearn for that. It also strikes me that, despite the old cliches about men being willing to shag anything with a pulse, that includes a lot of men as well.
Some women seem to enjoy serial dating and conquests
For sure and sometimes can leave devastation in their wake when doing so.
I think lots of young men want to give and receive love, be valued, provide for a woman, share their life and what they have to offer, be the protector and so on - deeply emotional things - yet are trapped in some weird limbo where they can neither find that or say they want it.
Really? I think like attracts like.
You get what you ultimately want.
If you want emotionless sex that’s what you get, if you want a more meaningful connection that’s what you get. And if you want popularity on a forum over a meaningful relationship that’s what you’ll get.
