I get what you're saying. Women don't need men. That's a good thing. Thing is in my potentially outdated experience, culturally speaking, women do a poor job of demonstrating how they want men.

1. They don't ask men out on dates.

2. They rarely compliment men.

3. They rarely initiate conversations or flirting.

4. "I am the table."

Before you write me off as a jaded, entitled incel...I've been married for 20 years. My wife is a wonderful person. She shows me that she wants me with the things she does for me. She's no "pick me" girl. We've been together for a long time and grown to love each other.

I don't think things have changed that much from when I was dating: men wanted women, women wanted men to want them. There is little in our current dating dynamic about men being wanted.
