It's funny that my friend's keep trying to set me up with guys when they have so many problems with their boyfriends

I guess I'm at that age where even my friends expect me to settle down with a guy. It's getting frustrating to tell them I want absolutely nothing to do with men. They still insist that this guy and that guy are cute and funny and would be good with me.
The best part is hearing all the problems they have with their boyfriends.
He won't help around the house, he's lazy, he won't quit porn, he's selfish during sex, all he does is play video games, he flirts with other girls, he scares me, he's doing nothing with his life, he's rude.
Holy shit. Why would I want a boyfriend when that's what i have to deal with? No thank you. Being single has so many benefits.

Ugh, amen dude. To be fair - there are some decent guys out there. But, it's like 1% of the population. And that's bad odds right there. Would you risk your life on a career path that only had a 1% chance of working out?

I'm new here. So glad there is a female version!Subbed right away :)
Anyway, I had this realization when I began renting a room in an aunt's house. Her and her husband had to put my bed together and the way he spoke to her was unbelievable to me. He reprimanded her in front of me; she removed screws she didn't need to, which was not a big deal, and 'advised her' to never take apart a bed again. Her daughter was listening in and half-jokingly said, "Hey that's my mom."
She doesn't work and doesn't need to but I see that as a sign of absolute weakness. She is not the only case of course but that moment really cemented how much better being single is, even if I'm a bit lonely. Real life comes at you fast, lol. I have MANY other stories of seeing shit like this.

Men have an insatiable need to impose their power on everything so if you put yourself in a position where you are captive to them, they will abuse this in order to assert dominance over you. This is why family violence or domestic violence is so rife in society. Being single, on the other hand, is much simpler and easier. Usually taking the easy way out makes you lose out, but with WGTOW you take the easy way out by never bothering with men and for this you free up time you can use to focus on things that will improve your life such as exercise, healthy eating, work, and investing.

It sounds like you have standards! Engaging in dating men as a woman usually, not always, but usually involves turning a blind eye to terrible behavior in favor of "staying in the relationship". Why do they do it? I ask, and yet in the past I have done it myself. Imagine if all the energy they spent rationalizing and putting up with bullshit was spent on improving one's own life and oneself.

Yes! Turning a blind eye seems to be a major them in dating men.
I've never actually dated a guy/had a boyfriend, so I've been lucky enough to avoid any of the stuff I mentioned in my post.
