the neck of truth.

I find that the hands are also all revealing. They can't seem to invent make up that makes hands look young.

2021 Record Holder: Most unrealistic dating expectations. 2022 Joint Record Holder: Loudest screech ever omitted (during a dinner date when a suitor proposed a 50:50 sharing of the bill) 2023 Crowned Ms Entitled: most entitled woman in NYC

"feminism is about equality because I shouldn't be judged on my age and looks." ...while preserving the right to judge a man by his height and wealth.

FTFY

Ballerinas are washed up at 25, unless they are celebrities. This woman has been coasting for the last 20 years (she is actually 45) as teacher.

She's making it sound like she was a nun chained to a cross

Welp, that sounds like an idea for a new best-selling barely concealed BDSM porn novel. 50 Shades of Pillory. Basic bitch Nun with a personality like wet cardboard gets spanked by a billionaire.

One small note - girls start dating at like 12-14 in America. One of my closest friends in high school married the girl he got with in 8th grade, when she was like 12 or 13. So we can’t act like these old hoes are losing their virginity at 18.

She thought that she could put the men that she wanted on ice while she pursued her personal dreams.

She lived in NYC with tons of guys in the income bracket she's looking for. And most likely, lots of them took her up on the chance to nail a ballerina. It's a fetish occupation that you can brag about to your buddies, sort of like sport fucking a gymnast or a stripper.

When she says she didn't have the opportunity, she's saying she was deprived of the right to "choose" amongst 6ft tall millionaire hedge funders that she wanted. Sure, there are 4 million guys in the city, but if the world makes her choose among anyone besides the top 0.001% of that group, then it's coercion akin to rape, and it certainly doesn't mean she has any responsibility for not choosing someone earlier.

I mean, if a homeless man starves to death because he refuses to eat the leftovers that people hand him, or the bland cafeteria-style food served in the soup kitchen, that's not his fault and he has no responsibility for his own hunger. I mean, he would have happily chosen a meal if only someone presented him several Michelin-starred chef creations on a silver platter. So obviously he's open to eating. It's the world's fault really, for not providing the choice in meals that he deserves. (Also, even on his deathbed, starving and anorexic, he'll still look down on his homeless buddies who do eat what they can get and therefore at least go on living while he's dying).

He red pilled the FUCK out of her.

Not quite. He gave her factual information, but she didn't accept it. Being red pilled is acknowledging what the truth is regardless of how it makes you feel. She subsequently, however, doubled down and lied to attract more potential mates. That is blue pill behavior.

keep up the charade and hide her age indefinitely?

Trickle truth her age until she thinks he is so invested that he won't leave when he finds out

Agreed. Women don't realize that, once a man passes an age where he's resigned that he doesn't want kids, he has zero interest in getting married. Not only is the one benefit of marriage (kids) no longer appealing, but by then he's gotten comfortable living by himself, and he's less inclined to think with his little head when it comes to women, and sees them as the net negative most of them are.

At that point, even if a woman is willing to give up having kids too, he still isn't interested in an LTR. Maybe a plate, maybe a FWB, where each person still leads their independent lives but gets together once in a while. But not the type of close, intertwined lives that married people lead. And it scares the bejeezus out of women, because that's the one thing they fear the most: being alone. No men to help out with stuff, to grow old with, to take care of them when they're sick.

The funny part about feminism is that it essentially told women to go on strike and refuse to do "women's work" on account of it being oppressive and all. So modern women refuse to cook, clean, keep a good house, or even provide any sort of emotional support for a man (so-called unpaid emotional labor). And guess what: turns out men are pretty good at doing all this themselves. Men are now better cooks than women, and cleaning a house takes a few hours a week (and can be outsourced for maybe a hundred bucks every couple of weeks if needed). Even emotional support: guys have always relied more on other guys than on women for this.

In contrast, feminism told women they didn't need no man. But most of them haven't been able to replicate what a man does. They can't fix their car. They're still too scared to check out that creepy noise downstairs at night. And even emotionally, women friends are two way streets: if they listen to your bitching, they expect you to listen to theirs as well. Not like a man who's expected to just be a rock for everyone around him.

Once they no longer have orbiters who are willing to do this stuff, they realize how much they need a man and are desperate to get one in their life, at the precise time when a man has realized that everything a woman might do for him, he can do better and/or cheaper than acquiring a wife.

Literally the only thing that a woman can provide for a man now is a family. Many of them don't want to do even that. And regardless, once a man decides he doesn't want a family, there's nothing left of value from being in a relationship with a woman that you can't do (better) by yourself, or that you can get more cheaply and with less drama from other avenues.

I know a guy in his late fifties. Met him in his forties. He's not what we'd typically call "a catch". He's balding, overweight, rents a small place, has a beater car, and has a menial job that gives him enough money to live but otherwise isn't building some sort of empire with. But he's happy, spends his time with friends doing stuff he likes, and overall enjoys a low-key, low-stress life. What's funny is that a lot of older women now want to date him. Because they're desperate for any sort of male companionship in their lives. And he wants nothing to do with them. When he gets horny, he goes to a local rub-n-tug or massage parlor, gets his rocks off, and he's good. Beyond that, he has no interest whatsoever in dealing with the drama, nor providing for the needs, of a woman in his life. Meanwhile, the single women I know at that age are almost uniformly miserable, even if they have a better career, etc. than my friend. They're lonely, filled with regret about how their life turned out, and terrified knowing the rest of their life will be like this; there is no going back and getting a do-over. This is their one life and it's pretty much set now.
