>>102614973It's really different for men and women and you need to get into the mentality of each to understand what forever alone could truly mean.
For men having ANYONE to date is a success, for women dating ANYONE is a failure. It's like all those zoomers who won't get a job because it won't make them insta rich and they would rather be neets instead. Sure if your goal was to get a job, ANY job, then just walking into McDs and asking to flip burgers could check that off your list.
For women, they would rather be alone than date a subpar guy, the same way a zoomer refuses to flip burgers and chooses to spend his time scrolling tiktok. It IS perfectly possible to date ANYONE for women, but that's the antithesis of a woman's idea of success.
That and, Tenma is a little justified since, as far as I remember, the last guy she dated pulled a knife on her and said "either you marry me, or I kill us both" in public.
