“Notice how the emphasis is on “emotional” support. This is characteristic of a feminine-primary mental point of origin. No where is “material” support or protection security mentioned because “emotions” are the only valuable commodity worth mention or valuable in an egalitarian exchange – not a complementarian balance of mutually valuable support.”

Could it be that there is no other type of support a woman would provide to a man anyways. Even in a complementary relationship, what woman would provide material support or protection to a man? Most men don’t even see it as a possibility. If a woman does provide material support, it is very temporary and the man will have to pay it back with interest unless he is the “alpha” who fucks her without any type of commitment.

All that is to say that “emotions” are the only commodity any specific woman has to offer. Sex and children you can have with most woman. You don’t need to “love” her or be in a relationship with her because she is “special” to you

“Previous blueprints for romantic relationships emphasized separate roles for men and women (Cancian, 1987). According to this traditional idea of relationships, women were responsible for providing emotional support to their partner, but men were not.”

This report indicates that support from women is dwindling and emotional support from men is increasing. My issue is with men being asked to give up any expectation of support, because apparently it is / has not ever truly the case that they were proving such support and this is what I am refuting. What I explained earlier on was that this is “a duty” (perceived as a duty by some) which women would like to absolve themselves from.

Yet no matter how we rationalise it – mutual support, albeit in different ways, is the foundation of relationships. Your opinion that this need on the part of men is due to the feminisation of males, I disagree with, but I respect your opinion and this is your blog. This is a human need.

If I don’t need any emotional support I would simply remain single, and / or GMOW (Which I am doing – no problem).

If I am purely meant to be a support system (basically, a host for a parasite) for a/any woman – with little to zero benefits, except for a bit of sex now and again – if I’m lucky – I would be… nothing less than a host for a parasite. I don’t and I won’t host parasites.

“I just want the conversation to end there. I don’t want to have detailed discussions about all of the potential obstacles, mistakes, and hazards of his path. (Today so and so gave me a dirty look and then x,y,z happened and now I feel crappy). This minutia sucks the life out of me.”

Fair enough – as someone else here suggested I think you should tell him this, because he doesn’t realise that he’s doing it (sharing too many details) – explain this to him – it’s preferable to communicate it to him – rather than allowing it to fester and eventually to cause you walking away, without trying to solve / resolve it.
