What you've said is true, BUT the larger issue at hand, which is implied (badly) by the meme is that anything women say they "want from a man" these days is effectively a shit test, even if they don't even know the they are doing it.

Female culture is largely based on some kind of weird collective where women say (and probably believe) what is "popular" in that culture. While in the past that culture may have been calibrated to what women actually want and need (a reliable man with masculine qualities), these days, it's popular for women to say how they want a "sensitive man" or some such trash, yet of course they actually want and need no such thing. This has something to do with the rise of feminism and the feminisation of society, which promotes crappy feminine values like vulnerability and being emotional as "good" qualities, at the expense of useful masculine values like stoicism (which feminists completely misunderstand as a denial of emotion, but that's a separate issue).

Of course, the reality is no one really needs these feminine values, at least not expressed to do level they currently are in society. Expressing vulnerability is perhaps useful for building trust between people (if someone doesn't take advantage of you when you are vulnerable, then they are more likely to be trustworthy). Emotions can be useful heuristics, but it is much better if they are used to guide behaviour; they certainly shouldn't be used to govern behaviour completely.

This means that high maintenance women, which express these qualities to a high degree, are also a problem for men and society. But men put up with women expressing these values since they want sex, and the pussy cartel gets to set the price of that. In fact, men could do the world a favour by not just being masculine themselves, but by insisting that that women stop being so emotional. Here, I'm not suggesting that women (on average) will be less emotional than men (on average), but rather that just because women tend to be emotional doesn't mean that men should tolerate all and any emotional displays from women, or allow women to use emotional manipulation to get their way. It's time to hold women to a higher standard. And the only real way of doing this is being willing to say "no" to a bad deal from women.
