"Take it or leave it" indicates that she's just fine if you leave it. It's not the kind of whining so many men are doing these days. "You need to date me" - I don't think any woman who wasn't making a TikTok for attention has ever said that because it's not the way that most women think.

And no, healthy women are not attracted to "bad boys" - they are attracted to guys with charisma who are interesting and sexy, and sometimes those guys turn out later to be "bad" - but there's no reason that so called "nice guys" couldn't also have charisma and verve and be interesting. I'm married to someone like that (and have dated plenty of other men like that) - really good human beings who are also fun and charismatic and charming and sexy, and I know plenty of other guys like that. The more some men talk about what nice guys they are and how women don't like that about them, the more I see how those guys aren't actually nice at all. They are entitled and demanding and are looking for ways to blame women for the fact that they don't have the kind of social skills that women find attractive - rather than working on improving those social skills.

And I didn't say that you said that about feeling entitled to a partner just because you think of yourself as nice - I said that Gareth (and other men) have said that. And to attribute divorce solely to women marrying bad boys is absurdly simplistic and not how anything in the world works. Please stop taking your "social science" from TikTok.
