"If a woman in her 30’s realized she made bad choices and wants to turn her life around, isn’t that a good thing? This isn’t gender-specific. As a human, recognizing you were making bad choices and want to make better ones is good and should be supported. Would you dunk on a heroin addict for trying to get clean? I don’t get it. It feels like it comes from a deep resentment of women as such, which is a projection of mommy issues."

Certainly for some it's this. For others I think it's a rightful lack of trust. Is a girl reforming because she ACTUALLY recognizes her mistakes? (In my own experience this has been incredibly attractive to me when I've seen it.) Or is she 'reforming' because she's trying to snag a guy before she feels her window closes?

The average man is so Low-T and fatherless that he actually can't tell the difference between these two situations - so it's damning them all in self-preservation.

So, insofar as I think this adds nuance to your take, it's actually worse than your phrasing. Mommy projections are easier to deal with. The average man is grappling with uncertainty over something that could actually, possibly be true, with real-world consequences if they mis-judge.

Interesting read. I have a bunch of thoughts on this - was going to write a fairly lengthy comment, but after some reflection, this may warrant a whole post of its own. As a starter though, I wrote about this back in 2021: https://bowtiedplayer.substack.com/p/the-coming-radicalization-of-millennial

My concern is that millennial women who strike out on the dating market go from woke to hardcore puritans and we go from one extreme to another (although, perhaps it's the same extreme, since the woke at their core are anti-sex; sexuality is the polarity between the sexes and they deny that even exists). Look, I'm probably right wing to the point that I'm on some kind of watch list, but dating should be something that is fun, healthy, and not regulated by screeching of lunatics and scolds.
