    it always just makes me feel kind of sad and awkward

    like sometimes my wife will get off the phone after having some long and serious seeming conversation with a friend of hers and thank me like it’s some big accomplishment for basic things like doing the dishes and spending time with our kids.

    The bar is low guys we got to step this shit up.

        I guess I don’t understand that point of view, not only doesn’t that make life easier for us but it also makes it actively worse for them and for the relationships they’re involved in if they are not engaging as a real partner.

        why would I wish that on someone else?

        Not really. If the average “date a man” experience sucks, a lot of heterosexual women aren’t going to actively seek a guy to date, which makes dating not easy.
