For men, the luxury of love is a life of servitude. The instructions to men are that their feelings, wants, and needs don't matter; only their protection and provision towards others do.
That indoctrination produced soldiers, men whose lives were disposable. So at the sight of danger, men ran into battle to protect those they love because their duty demanded it; that is why having sons was essential to families, not that girls' lives weren't as crucial as some advocates' revision of history may now want you to believe, however, all of the dangerous responsibilities in life, the building of society's infrastructures and wars, required sons, masculinity.
80% of women on dating websites today choose to ignore those same types of men, men whose lives aren't based on financial wealth, like the average construction workers, those in sanitation, the plumbers, taxi/bus drivers, or grocery clerks, to name a few, however, when the pandemic transpired, all those men became the essential worker's society needed.
When the reality of war collided with Ukraine, every man, 18 years and older, was asked to stay and fight while the women and children left. Disappointedly, while the Ukrainian men's bodies lay dead in the streets, there were no cries for equality; their duty as men was to protect those they loved.
Men have been emotionally robbed and beaten to the point where having standards for the women they date is unacceptable because they must accept women for who they are. I believe this false relationship indoctrination has hindered the ability of men to recognize good women and aided in dismantling the very essence of dating, relationships, marriage, and families.
Suppose men are to live a life of servitude. In that case, the women they choose should be worthy of their love, provision, and protection, women who have been taught and continually practice the necessary qualities and temperance to be good wives and caring mothers of their husband's children. Good men should never settle for anything less.
