Not being a lazy bum or misogonyst is the bare minimum (as it should be).

Idk, just judging by any post containing gender discourse on Lemmy.....seems to be a pretty big hurdle for a lot of dudes.

You have to jump over all of them. Everything below that and the other person will feel as if they are settling.

That may just be a product of being younger. By the time you get to my age both men and women seem to be wanting to settle down and are more likely to compromise with the idea of an imperfect partnership.
