I've given up on women
As a man in a mid to late 20s I have genuinely given up on women.
For context I'm not a complete bum, have my shit together, am ambitious about my career and have big goals in life. Also I'm not the worst looking (take pretty good car of myself) but that's for others to judge, however, women in Islamabad (and Pakistan) are no longer worth chasing for.
No matter how good you treat them and how respectful you are they're either gonna ghost you, friend zone you or straight up ridicule you. I've realized working on yourself and making your career, family and friends a priority is much more fulfilling than trying to please someones ungrateful daughter. And I've found peace in that. I've tried the dating app circle, cold approach and other shit than can't bother mentioning but it's pretty much a waste of time. Most women have shady pasts and that is something I cannot come to terms with.
If someone is gonna come by, than that's okay, other wise I think this generation is going to see a big rise in single men living their lives as is, the trick is just to have enough money so it makes it go easy.
