False sense of entitlement due to gender that is embedded within the culture. It's truly sad and there are no steps put forth in combating it. I feel terrible for the countless women who endure this nonsense..it's just disgusting. Personally, I'd never stand for such a thing and feel so bad for those who are left with no options due to circumstance or lack of opportunities to venture out. It's very scary...I am just grateful that would never have to be me. Something really needs to be done in working against this being so widespread but...there is too much rigidity.
Past that, it really goes along with what your desire is..if it's just to share your gift and there is no interest in becoming somewhat or completely mainstream...you hold true to your values..but if it's profit that you are after...clearly there are certain standards that you must conform to which may have nothing to do with you as an individual...more a pawn within a system. I understand that common sense is not that common but still..goodness....
Can you blame them? They get no attention otherwise..duh!!! That goes for any gender really...you must work to appeal to the opposite sex to sell and align yourself with what is prevalent in society..which is that. DUH!
Lol obviously you are not bothered enough because you are still with her. Forget what others think and focus on the interaction between you and her. If you cannot do that...then simply conform to society's standards for you and find someone that is "deem fit". Good luck on love with the second option though!
If you don't see him as husband material..why are you dating him? Did you have the intention of just dating him for an undocumented amount of time and then.....? This doesn't make much sense.
