I just got a date cancelled for simply telling her my lived experience as a man on the apps.

She thought I was being “negative” and she “didn’t like the turn of conversation”?

Are you supposed to be 100% happy and 0 percent sad all the time? Are you supposed to be delusionally happy in every interaction and not express true feelings?

Isn’t that called toxic positivity and nobody likes that?

I don’t know about you, but if you can’t express how you feel to a partner and feel safe doing it then that relationship is toxic full stop.

Do women really not have any idea how difficult it is for a man ready to date seriously and looking for marriage on the apps?

I’ve heard that there is a certain, undefined length of time when a university degree becomes irrelevant if not used for your work/job/career.

Say someone gets an engineering degree and can’t get an entry level job in their field, so they work the best job they can that doesn’t use their degree at all. This goes on for years, so now they’re like 35-40 and haven’t used their university degree in their career.

How irrelevant does a degree become over time and would said hypothetical person ever be disqualified from an entry level position in a hiring manager’s eyes even if they have the degree but it was from 5-15 years ago and they haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet?

And if that would be the case, how could they become hirable again? Would they have to go back and get a masters or something? And if so, could it just be an MBA or would it have to be in that specific field for an entry level role?
