As a dude, I'm constantly gobsmacked by how many dudes are just the fucking worst when it comes to dating. Like, fellas, it really isn't that hard to avoid being a creep.

My current partner and I are planning on getting married in the next couple of years. He's wonderful. I don't see this relationship ending, but if it does my best friend and I plan on throwing darts at a map until we hit somewhere we both like. We'll get a place and become old punk grandmas together because neither of us wants to deal with dating ever again.

Congrats and best of luck with plan A, but kudos for having a killer plan B!

This sort of story is unfortunately super common. It's probably rarer for a woman to never have had such an encounter than it is for them to have had one.

It is when you feel like everyone owes you something. So many dudes are absolutely clueless about women. Its honestly scary how bad it can be.

The problem is that they ARE creeps, so they try to hide to various degrees but often fail to do so.
