WOMEN ARE DELUSIONAL (OR SO THEY SAY...)

Ah yes, the modern woman. Strong, independent, and—according to some—completely delusional. But why? Where did it all go wrong?  

Maybe it started with fairy tales. You know, the ones that told little girls they were princesses and that a rich, handsome prince would come along, sweep them off their feet, and make all their problems disappear. That was cute when they were five. But somehow, a lot of women never really grew out of it. Now, they’re adults, sitting around with a laundry list of demands for men—six feet tall, six-figure income, six-pack abs—without stopping to ask themselves what they actually bring to the table.  

Religion didn’t help much either. It told men they had to love their wives like Christ loves the church, provide for their families or be labeled worse than an infidel, and remain faithful under all circumstances. Meanwhile, women got the “submit to your husband” memo and decided to conveniently ignore it. Because, of course, submission only applies when the man is a “real man,” which usually means financially securing her dream lifestyle while also catering to her emotional needs like some kind of high-value therapist who just happens to also have the looks of a Greek god.  

But let’s not pretend like men don’t have their own delusions. The number of broke, out-of-shape guys demanding a submissive, virgin supermodel is just as laughable. The difference? Men usually learn the hard way that reality doesn’t care about their fantasies. Women, on the other hand, have entire social structures, media narratives, and self-help books dedicated to reinforcing their illusions. "You deserve it all, queen!" But do you?  

Women don’t just want a great relationship; they want a cinematic relationship. One where the chemistry is electric, the passion never fades, and there’s always an exciting plot twist to keep things spicy. If a man is too consistent, too available, or too emotionally stable, she starts getting itchy. Where’s the struggle? Where’s the drama? She needs tension—something to overanalyze in her group chat. This is why you’ll often find women gravitating toward men who are, let’s just say, questionable choices. Toxic, emotionally unavailable, or just plain disinterested? Perfect. A man treating her like an option makes him valuable. Meanwhile, the guy who texts her good morning, takes her on thoughtful dates, and actually likes her? Ew, why is he so obsessed?

And the worst part? She’ll blame men for this. She’ll say, “I just haven’t met the right one yet,” while ignoring every single right one who came into her life. Because deep down, many women don’t actually want a good man; they want a challenge. And when they finally are ready to settle down, they expect Prince Charming to be waiting for them like he’s been on pause this whole time.  

For decades, women have been sold the idea that they can “have it all.” Career, independence, travel, fun, endless romantic options—without consequences. And sure, in their early 20s, it feels like that’s true. Every door is open. Every DM is filled. Every guy is eager to prove himself. Fast forward ten years, and suddenly, things look different. The constant attention isn’t so constant. The men they rejected for being “too nice” are now thriving in relationships with other women. The excitement of casual flings has worn off, and loneliness is creeping in. But instead of reflecting, they double down. “Men just can’t handle a strong woman.” “Men don’t want to commit anymore.” “Dating is impossible.”  

Yes, dating is impossible—when you spent years treating good men like backup options, and now those good men have realized they don’t need you. Once upon a time, men would bend over backwards for women. Chase them, court them, prove their worth, put up with the games—all in the hopes of being chosen. But something interesting is happening. Men are waking up. They’re realizing that chasing after delusional women is a losing game. They’re hitting the gym, building their careers, and focusing on themselves. They’re no longer tolerating being treated like emotional ATMs. And some of them? They’re booking flights. “Passport Bros” are leaving behind the Western dating scene altogether, choosing to find women who actually appreciate them.  

And what are the women left behind doing? Complaining. Panicking. Writing long essays about how “real men” wouldn’t abandon their women. The same women who spent years telling men, “I don’t need a man,” are now furious that men are taking them seriously. The funny thing about delusion is that reality doesn’t care. Women can believe whatever they want about love, men, and relationships—but at the end of the day, actions have consequences. You can’t spend your youth chasing chaos and expect stability to be waiting for you later. You can’t spend years rejecting commitment and then be shocked when commitment is no longer available. You can’t treat men like disposable accessories and then cry when they stop showing up.  

But go ahead, ladies. Keep manifesting. Keep believing you’re a queen who deserves it all without offering anything in return. Just don’t be surprised when the only ones still clapping for you are your soul sisters over a bottle of wine, convincing each other that men are the problem. Meanwhile, the men? They’re just watching the show. And honestly? It’s hilarious.
