Had a nice fwb situation for a few years but that's over now, so against my better judgement I hopped back into the online dating scene; and holy shit there are so many women who straight up say they expect a man to go to therapy.
It's not like I haven't seen this before, but nothing to this degree. I see it all the damn time now.
Therapy might have some worth in cases for people with actual mental issues, but the idea that most people should not only see a therapist but regularly see a therapist is fucking absurd.
Not sure if anyone else has seen the same. It's pretty clear that continual therapy is fully entrenched as a key component of the religion of woke.
Women treat therapists the same way men treat prostitutes. You pay for your time, get some satisfaction out of it, and go on your way. Men bang the girl, and that's that, nothing else necessary; they enjoy the physical release, they're not there to start a relationship. Women go to a therapist to talk and talk and talk and gossip and be emotionally validated by someone with credentials to make the validation seem even more important and real. Once again, women seek an authority to direct them, they just don't realize they're doing it.
You have my condolences, OP. I haven't done a single bit of dating since I left high school, and I think I'm just that kind of guy. I can barely stand holding on to friendships, let alone building any of them into something serious or long-term. I can't imagine what it's like to have to trawl through that mess out there.
