Was there something not meaningful or not reciprocal about the relationships you've had? (I can think of at least three different ways you could answer that, and they all require different responses.)

Not OP, but if she hasn't been in any actual relationships, well, it's not like a relationship between a man and a woman is supposed to be reciprocal, except maybe in a "You give me sex and do my housework, and I'll grudgingly let you live here even though you're an annoying drag" type of way. But it's "emasculating" or whatever for the guy to give anything other than MAYBE money and shelter to the woman. The commitment itself (even if they both commit to each other) is what she "gets."

And besides, most of the time it sounds like not only are men supposed to mostly like you for your body/looks, everything else is actually a minus. Like, your personality is a negative trait. That's can be somewhat crushing to a person's self esteem.

My father is a Marine who grew up in the '50s. He's a devout Christian who won't shut up about the shroud of Turin, he believes that the Vietnam war was a necessary conflict in which America achieved its primary objective, and he never stops making improvements to the family home. I'm not sure it's possible to be more of a man than him. But his relationship with my mother is definitely reciprocal, and I think both of them need each other.

I can't spout statistics here--maybe a lot of relationships really are that bad. But they don't have to be, and I don't think that should be the expectation.

Lol, you're either trying really half-assedly or you're convinced that the crappy relationships you've seen are a rule. Protip: it ain't the '70s no more hon.
