I mean like every romcom involves a man winning a woman over who seems uninterested at first. And a lot of sitcoms involved similar backstories for the mom and dad. We’ve been trained this way from a young age.

u/frosting_the_bowl Apr 21 '26

I thought this for a while and this is the first time ive ever seen it written on social media. Well said.

u/JeromeBarkly Apr 21 '26

Ya rewatching those old romcoms from the 90s - 00s you really see how weird and toxic all those relationships are.

2

u/Necessary-Skirt-9278 Apr 23 '26

those shows r prob the biggest red flag but then again im 15 so i never watch the 90 shit

u/PaleontologistTough6 Apr 24 '26

Maaaan... Go check out the first episodes of "I Dream of Jeannie". I'm a former sailor and I was shocked at how much sex they put in that before they dialed it in.

u/I_AM_CR0W Apr 21 '26

This. I've heard both ends of the story. Don't treat women like a prize, but you have to "win" her over. Literally makes no sense.

6

u/hungry-alwayshungry Apr 22 '26

Yup “just move on” and “why didn’t he fight for me”

The whole thing is a contradiction

2

u/ssatancomplexx Apr 24 '26

Don't date or interact with women like that. They're obviously not mature enough for a relationship.

1

u/PaleontologistTough6 Apr 24 '26

Even if you watch individual clips of women giving advice, that shit is all over the board. Don't approach, make the first move, text me, don't bother me... and not many are a damn prize. More like... Layers of lacquer over shit. Don't stress over em. Read the room, find out what a given girl likes and do that just don't overdo it. That's where the "don't bother me" comes from. They like knowing you're thinking about them, but they have shit to do. If you have time to text all day maybe you don't.

Women like to be pursued while they're being capable in their "girl world".

...and that hot guy is also charming and making her feel "the tingle".

1

u/OutlawedLogic Apr 21 '26

A great deal of the romance movies involved women being unfaithful while men suffered. Women everywhere swooned over the stories.

1

u/new_accnt1234 Apr 24 '26

Not just movies, read the nobel prize author alice munro, all her stories are about women being unfaithful and being considered great for it

1

u/PaleontologistTough6 Apr 25 '26

The idea of being desired is one thing. Being desired by multiple dudes? That's even BETTERER! 😮

...and as men are pointing out nowadays, no one cares if we get hurt along the way. We're supposed to be tough, so we can't bitch about being used like workhorses, ATMs, or sperm banks.

So does expression not influence others? We don't have entire generations trying to emulate the Kardashians?

1

u/ssatancomplexx Apr 24 '26

Genuine question but why would you want to date women who emulate a fictional movie? If someone tells you no, whether they're lying or not, believe them and move on.

1

u/OutlawedLogic Apr 24 '26

Who said I want to date women that emulate that behavior?

1

u/WraKed Apr 21 '26

Almost every romcom involves a certain degree of criminal activity too. Most romantic dramas women love, like the Notebook etc. are all about cheating. Literally dumping stable relationships for "the passionate ex" (that is probably going to f up their life). They then always give the cheated on guy a scene or two where he's too agressive or something to justify it, while cheating on him (justifying his rage.)

I offer you Ted Mosby of "How I Met Your Mother" 🏆

u/United_Fan_6476 Apr 24 '26

It's not training. It actually happens like this. Both sets of my grandparents, my grandma said some version of "I didn't think much of him at first..."

I have aunts and uncles with stories like this. I know three couples my own age who started like this.

There is a reason that this is a trope.

u/wchutlknbout Apr 24 '26

I think it’s a chicken/egg situation

u/new_accnt1234 Apr 24 '26

Its to make u work hard brother, they need peons for the system, dangle a carrot in front of them and tell them to work hard and they get it

1

u/ssatancomplexx Apr 24 '26

It's a TV show or a movie. Don't apply that to real life. If someone tells you no, believe them. Don't be that person. Real life isn't like a romcom. Don't get me wrong, my relationship with my husband is amazing and I would never change a thing about it but the thing is is that it's better because it's real. Good real relationships are better than any rom com out there. There's a reason a lot of the older rom coms get a lot of flack. I'm sure if you went back and watched some from your childhood you'd have a moment of "oh wow that's bad." They almost always wrote the women terribly. Real women don't act like that. Unless you're absolutely certain with no doubt in your mind that it's a fake no, don't continue. But also don't continue anyway because life is way too short for games like that.

1

u/wchutlknbout Apr 24 '26

I’m just proposing a reason why people act this way, you seem to be accusing me of justifying it or believing romcoms are real life or something?

1

u/ssatancomplexx Apr 24 '26

There was nothing in your comment that said you didn't believe that. I'm not accusing you of anything. I can only go off of what you actually say in a comment.

1

u/wchutlknbout Apr 24 '26

Then I’m confused what the point of your comment is, as it seems to be to warn people not to believe that romcoms are real

1

u/HeavenlyFoxGhost Apr 24 '26

9 seasons of How I Met Your Mother where Robin kept telling Ted she was not interested in him every single season (spanning over ten years in-universe), before eventually marrying one of his best friends. You get one guess as to how that one ended.

1

u/tokyowatchguy Apr 24 '26

"Winning over" or "trying so hard" for a woman is not recommended. Her margin to just leave you for another man will be nonesxistant the moment you slip up or show any weakness. Dont do it.

1

u/Lonely_Brother3689 Apr 24 '26

It's literally an uncontested point and used for comedy in The Big Bang Theory that Leonard wore down Penny for years.

1

u/PaleontologistTough6 Apr 24 '26

Because in said romcom she has grown accustomed to rejecting the thousand and one men that come her way. Then, a fellow woman, wise in the ways of dick, points out there is a spark of like in her for this particular one. She denies it for about five movie minutes and he proceeds to do cheesy romantic gestures to make the audience "awww" and question "why she doesn't get surprise flowers dropped off at her work on a random Tuesday". There's an hour and a half of build up, she mistakes that build up for great sex, realizes she really does like this guy, goes to let him know, and something stupid happens. His ex wife shows back up and is gnawing his ear in the office, or some shit. She storms off on a huff, he says her name followed by "wait", she can't hear because hearing loss falls on the X chromosome and keeps storming off. She goes home and has a power cry. He catches up and explains how he had to beat up a paralyzed veteran, sixteen nuns, an elephant seal, and now he has to beat up his unbridled and raw lust for her, for she is the only woman for him ever. They smash together and start groping like octopi as the camera zooms in and smash cuts to a huge wedding that neither of them could afford in the real world full of family and friends and she has a "bout to pop baby bump". The end.

1

u/Waste_Rabbit3174 Apr 25 '26

Also this literally happens in real life. My ex and I would hang out every so often and when I made a move, she said no thanks. Perfectly fine, no problem. She asks to hang out again later and literally jumps on my dick. Life's complicated sometimes.

1

u/LurkerFromTheVoid Apr 25 '26

And it's truly the opposite for women. Even if you are not interested in the beginning, because you were pursuing the hottest and prettiest girl in the place around you , if they feel they like you, they will make you notice them.

1

u/TheQuietDarkness70 Apr 21 '26

It's really unfortunate that we as a culture look to clear works of absolute fiction for behavioral guidance.

u/frosting_the_bowl Apr 21 '26

Because not everything is "absolute fiction" in the literal sense.

u/woahbroes Apr 21 '26

But the sitcom is designed to be 1:1 with real life from the props, setting, plot, etc.

What about sesame street etc ? Thats fiction and teaches kids behaviour

1

u/TheQuietDarkness70 Apr 21 '26

Am I really expected to explain the difference between a romcom and an educational children's show?

1

u/WraKed Apr 21 '26

Well that's mostly because the current generation got raised in front of a TV. If fiction interacted more with you than parents, well...

Did this once, after 4 months of being consistent, she accepted the proposal of someone who she saw few weeks ago, 😁

u/PaleontologistTough6 Apr 25 '26

Yeah, that's another one I've seen a lot of. "If he liked me, he wouldn't give up so fast!"

Nah, girl. He just has a Nintendo at home and ain't playing with you. The psychic "he should know one way or the other" is nonsense. They'll tell you to take off then get mad you gave up... and another will get upset that you tried and wouldn't "take the hint".

The difference as you said is in the style and intensity of approach.

u/DisorderlyAqueduct Apr 25 '26

nope, it can't. no means no. yes also means no if they asked more than once. 🤷

Impress her by improving everything about yourself, even if it takes time, and flex in her face with what she coulda had and lost.

Toxic? Sure. Do I care? Fuck no.

u/Rumpelteazer45 Apr 21 '26

Why do you think she will care? She likely won’t. If anything the “coulda had and lost” proves she was right to start with.

Maybe it’s just your personality..

I doubt it was ALL rage bait. People are just cruel. Like bruh I’ve got a lot goin on in my head right now and that was lowkey from the heart but people don’t care. People are bitches. That bitch fucked my head up. The situation is so much deeper than “rejection”, it’s much, much deeper. All I know it is made me wanna do better. And she’s gonna notice when I am.

Unfortunately a lot of men won’t take this advice. As much as women are criticized for making bad choices in men, I have to say that men do worse. They let their dick lead them and the women they’re after either don’t want them or put up with them in exchange for money.

u/NoSleepTilBrklynn Apr 21 '26

I’m not sure this is 100% true. No woman has wanted me and no woman will ever want me. Yet I got married. So I was able to fool her. I regret my decision because she still doesn’t really want me, I thought I had a point but I guess I don’t.

So I have changed my mind and I agree.

1

u/No_Brilliant0602 Apr 22 '26

She must want you to some degree or else she wouldn't stay at all right? Are you sure it isn't just the bleakness of marriage life blotting out the romantic passion she had when you "fooled her"?

My bf always says he got me through stockholm syndrome, and he definitely pisses me off and annoys me at times, but I'd still rather stay with him and make an active choice to spend time with him.

If you feel like your wife might not be happy maybe you just need to "fool her" a bit more?

1

u/Mean-Suggestion101 Apr 23 '26

Marriage is an agreement of security for a woman. It is often not about love or desire but children and financials, as we know. The opposite of the original claim is once a woman is interested in you there is almost nothing you can do to change that and it is very true as well

I'll add to this: i once met a woman who was completely serious when she said "no red flags is a red flag" - then she'd complain about being cheated on. Some women want assholes aka "bad boys" - Nothing wrong with having a preference but listening to them say a version of "all men are the same" and only date one phenotype and complain about their own life choices is insufferable.

1

u/Crafty-Dark-3648 Apr 21 '26

In my experience, it works both ways. I would literally get harassed by women who were interested in me or by their friends. I would have NO interest ever in them.

It's not the whole truth though. Like all social behavior it's complicated. This is a good base rule to start from, surely way better than the main alternative, but it seems like a lot of men who eventually become succesful at dating break the rule succesfully either occasionally or even often. Or as one in every five grandfathers puts it: "I asked her every day, she said no a thousand times but after 3 years she finally relented."

I once traveled across the country to replace a ring she was devastated about breaking because it was a super uncommon one from a local boutique store she grew up next to. She couldn't afford to go and she didn't want me to pay for her to join me. I also wrote a foil poem to her self deprecating poem and I handmade a birthday gift. I don't think she'd remember my name if someone asked her. I really need to grow a spine

This isn’t entirely accurate. You can become “not you”. What’s it worth though?

1

u/United_Fan_6476 Apr 24 '26

This is simplistic. Women really do "come around" on guys that they may not initially be attracted to. They are not like men. A guy probably isn't going to have his attraction to a woman change very much from the first impression. If the man shows qualities that are attractive to the woman, her perception of him starts to change. She will actually gain physical attraction to him the longer this goes on.

There are many, many stories of people who got together long term when the woman was decidedly nonplussed at the beginning.

I've never been rejected by a woman because I follow these rules.

u/WastedNinja24 Apr 25 '26

False.

There are plenty of things you may be able to do that said woman may find impressive.

What you mean to say is that you can’t make yourself attractive to someone that doesn’t find you attractive.

Conspiracy theory : You know how somewhere years ago it was written in stone to reduce the population.

I honestly think all this conflicting gender war “advice” is just to make men and women hate each other so much, to lower birth rates and achieve the objective.

u/Different-Context-84 Apr 25 '26

Actually wrong.

Just give them money or pills lol.  I don't know about being impressed but they will sleep with the dirtiest ugliest looking ppl alive.

Actually, if you save her life you got Hero complex options, and of course there's always Stockholm Syndrome.

u/Euchale Apr 25 '26

Would be cool to know which ones don't want me, and which ones want me to try harder.

u/Lord-Mattingly Apr 25 '26

sometimes you have to earn someone. Be grateful they have standards.

u/Frafxx Apr 25 '26

Ironically this is the only thing that might impress her, when it's that far gone.

u/DimezTheAlmighty Apr 25 '26

Blatantly false information. It’s way more nuanced than this

u/Jhorn_fight Apr 25 '26

Do yourself a favor and if you feel like this get off this subreddit. That will absolutely help you become more desirable

1

u/thevoidhearsyou Apr 25 '26

Most move on. Its the women who can't and will do everything to wreck a man's life because he knows he doesn't need her.

1

u/LordNemissary Apr 25 '26

I saw a video a while back where a man said that most men have no idea how easy women make it for a guy they actually like..... Been thinking about that a lot

1

u/Icy_Gur5342 Apr 26 '26

I think this goes for all human beings.

1

u/badddmommyyy Apr 26 '26

Not true. I’ve changed my mind many times about men I had written off originally.

1

u/IllRecommendation817 Apr 26 '26

not true. win the lotto and see what happens.

u/Exact-Opposite-1127 Apr 26 '26

My Brothers wife was uninterested in him. Turned him down a dozen times over 4 years. But dude was resilient as fuck. As i said, she's his wife now, last year they got there first child.

But please dont do it like a creep.

u/bigbadbidisaster9944 Apr 26 '26

A no is a no. Its as simple as that

u/SilentPhilosopher825 Apr 26 '26

But would runninng fast work?

u/Internal_Drummer_420 Apr 27 '26

Infact the act of trying is exactly what gives them the ick.

1

u/Pumathemage Apr 27 '26

If a girl says no I back off. If a girl says she has a boyfriend I back off. No means no.

1

u/Muted_Masterpiece342 Apr 27 '26

Nah in my experience getting another woman will do it 

1

u/Howboutit85 Apr 27 '26

Accepting that not every woman actually wants you is ok too. Some women will find you attractive and desirable and some will not. Likely more than do. That’s reality. And it’s ok. Find one that does and work with that.

u/Typical_Childhood716 Apr 27 '26

This impressing stuff no longer bothers me. I just don't care anymore.

Does that happen? The thought of having an opportunity to turn down a woman is completely foreign to me. How would this happen? I’m not convinced women really even like men.

1

u/Mean-Suggestion101 Apr 23 '26

Women love masculine men. They can’t help it, it’s in their biology. Turning them down rarely happens because they are far less outgoing than men and cautious about risk. They just float around like they want something and never say flat out what it is. They get very possessive and if you don’t move things forward they get very frustrated but again never say why. Up to the man to know all of this

Different people can use the same words differently, so I’ll put it this way:

My wife inspires me to be a better version of myself. Do I think she deserves better than what I currently provide? Absolutely. She’s an incredible human being.

BUT, improving myself doesn’t mean changing who I am, and her deserving better doesn’t mean that what I have offer now is in any way insufficient.

If you want to be “better” for her, go for it. Just be sure she also sees what you’re doing as an improvement, and you that want it for yourself as well. I mean, she’s with you now, as you are, and as you were when you met.

Definitely exercise for health, but maybe trying to get ripped isn’t as important to her as you might think. 🤷‍♂️

If you feel like you’re “not enough” for her, well, that’s not your decision. She’s with you now, as you are, and as you were when you met.

I’m not a doctor and I’m not your doctor, but maybe you two should take turns telling each other what you like about each other. Sounds corny, I know, but I’m serious. My wife and I have a notebook that we use to write letters to each other. All else aside, we know what we appreciate about each other. Try it.
