"Articles" like this bs always paint the woman as some emotionally superior creature and the men are just a burden on them, but I've met far more emotionally draining and tedious women who don't have their shit together than men. I say this as a gay man who isn't interested in sleeping with women so I don't have a horse in the race with respect to that.
Can't we just accept that we are all human beings and likely are all flawed in some way and that even if you don't see it, your partner is likely sacrificing and having to put up with your shit just like you have to put up with theirs.
So long as you aren't hurting each other or cheating, you're probably trying to convince yourself if you have to write some kind of dumb fanfic conversation like this to make you feel better about your lack of relationship.
Say wha? Logic?
