I just wanted to convey a “men are terrible” horror story to show that just as men have lots of case studies of skanks being atrocious, women have their own examples of douchebags to pull from, too.
From our POV we miss out on the horror stories making the rounds on chick-web, which prevents us from empathizing when they talk about how daunting the dating scene is. Sure, a good deal is self-inflicted, but what if this was just a nice, accommodating woman going with the flow? What if she was just trying to make her hubby happy while feeling like SHE was the one in error there?
