How Men Mess Up Relationships

Welcome to the jungle, where everyone’s conditioned to be agreeable, keep the boat steady, and maintain the oh-so-glamorous status quo. We've all been handed these invisible masks to present a flawless, yet totally fake self. This delightful habit harks back to our ancestors, who had to blend in with the tribe to avoid being tossed into a world full of wild beasts and almost certain death. Oh, the good old days!

Men, of course, have elevated this to an art form, especially in the thrilling sexual marketplace. When they're on the hunt for a girl, they channel their inner predator. Think about it: hunting involves stealth, deception, and cunning to avoid detection by the prey. Men become laser-focused on the target, even using bait to attract the unsuspecting victim. They camouflage their flaws, and when the prey is caught, they drop the act and reveal their true, not-so-charming selves.

Let's dive into a real-life example. Meet Joe, a regular on dating apps. He matches with Julie, a stunning vegetarian dolphin lover with a trail-running hobby and an impeccable Spotify playlist. Armed with this intel, Joe embarks on the hunt, playing up to Julie's preferences. Deep down, Joe is thrilled by the potential perks of a relationship with Julie: a self-esteem boost, social status, and bragging rights among friends.

But, oh, the things Joe hides! His love for porn, marathon video game sessions, and misogynistic jokes are tucked away in the shadows. On the hunt, he’s the perfect gentleman. Noticing Julie's disdain for guys who don't open car doors for their girlfriends, Joe makes a grand show of it, even though he sees it as a tedious chore. Joe isn’t really interested in Julie as a person; he’s fixated on the value she brings.

Once Joe wins Julie over and they move in together, his true colors emerge. Joe’s a slob who never washes dishes, reverts to his carnivorous diet, and leaves his porn stash lying around. Julie, disillusioned, realizes Joe isn't the man she thought he was. She's fallen for the classic bait-and-switch tactic, and Joe, well, he’s just another casualty of pick-up artist culture and its plethora of ‘how to bed any woman’ advice.

And there you have it, folks, the classic way men ruin relationships.
