    Gotta remember selection bias. The single women are (eternally) on the dating market because of their horrible views, the ones who aren't horrible are not on the dating market anymore or only very very short.

    Wouldn’t that argument work the same way for men? To be clear, I’m not a fan of that argument for any gender. But fair is fair.

    I’m polyam, so my experiences are quite different. I’m finding more married people looking for a third, which is awkward when I’m more of a “relationship anarchist” and don’t want to put my partners into tiers above/below each other (or be put into such tiers myself.)

    You're absolutely right on that. Some people really just want the freedom for themselves, but not for their partners. Which is ridiculous. After all, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." If someone hasn't got the maturity it takes for polyamory, then they're not ready for it.

    Are you dating women your own age? I’m a woman in my early 40s and have literally never met a woman my age who thought like this. If you’re dating women ten years younger than you you’ll be selecting for the type who likes to date older men - usually for exactly the reasons you complain about (they want someone to take care of them).

    I can’t argue against your lived experience, but it doesn’t match mine at all. Maybe they’re all sick of dating irresponsible losers and this is some misguided screening technique? Good luck out there, it sounds like you’re having a difficult time finding someone you like!

    What you describe doesn't reflect reality in my region of the world or amongst any of the people I know. Not sure where you are but you're making a lot of generalized statements that should be a hell of a lot more specific. Do you live in Amish country maybe?
