How to Date an MRA

I can still remember when one of my female friends asked me a question. It was a pretty interesting question: “How to date a men’s rights activist?”. Well, will there be a girl out there who will take on the challenge to court and date an MRA like me?

It’s established within my circle of friends and family that I’m an MRA and that I have never been in a relationship/have never had a girlfriend since birth. I take pride on it because I was focused on studying and pursuing my target career. Some of the people I have encountered even thought that I might even be gay or bisexual. And sometimes, I just didn’t fucking care how they would think of me.

Well you see, us MRAs, we have our own set of beliefs. And I’m not saying that all of these applies to all of us but they definitely apply to me and to some of my friends who are also MRAs.

There are those who are very traditional and there are the kind of us who are more open-minded and a bit chill. Our type would be much easier to date. You can dwell on the things below or just ignore them completely. I’m just posting because it’s my personal blog you bumped into. So here’s how you can make an MRA like you…

1. Start as a friend. A friend that can jive with our thoughts and mindset. Sometimes, getting straight to the point or telling us you want to date us won’t work. We appreciate the effort but we prefer girls who would first inspire us. Those who would start showing that they like us then finally get on with the courtship and dating stage.

2. Going out doesn’t mean that we can’t pay for you or our share. Showing that you can treat us all the time won’t impress us. This is not sweet to us AT ALL. So you gotta let us pay if we want to share/pitch in. We value that we can pay our own expenses and bills. Addendum: 50/50 is OKAY with us, too.

3. You don’t have to make an effort in (picking us up or) sending us home. We are independent and we can go home by ourselves. We live everyday being able to return to our houses. So you can just check on us via SMS or give us a call if we are already home.

4. Even if you don’t share the same beliefs with us, you still need to show your support to it. You can be straight up with us if you don’t share the same views or opinions on a certain topic. Still, you have to respect our own perspective. Keyword: RESPECT. If that’s what we think about a topic then it should stay that. Don’t try to influence our thoughts with yours and we will also respect yours.

5. Prove to us that you’re worth it. Consistency is the key. Who wouldn’t want a girl that is consistent enough? We like communication. We like conversing and the best way to get through to us are words and actions. Just like other men, we enjoy sense in a conversation. Need I say more?

And yeah, there’s one more thing you need to know if you want to date an MRA (but this won’t apply to the list above):

We will NEVER EVER LET YOU BREAK UP WITH US FIRST. We will be the ones to call it quits.

So when we stay and we don’t feel that you’re gonna leave us sooner or later, we’ll stay for as long as it takes. But if we feel that there’s something that’s changed, we wouldn’t give you the luxury to break with us first.
