What Are Men Thinking About on Blind Dates?

Even though it talks about programmers, I actually think this applies to most men.

1. There's always a hidden hard standard—if you don't meet it, you're never really let in, meaning the relationship can't continue.

2. Most men won't pursue stable jobs; they'll lean toward high-risk roles for high rewards. Correspondingly, they often seek partners with more stable careers to safeguard the family's finances.

3. Deep down, they渴望 to be understood and empathized with. In practice, this flips to: after something happens, they'll want you to check in on whether you're okay (though empathy should go both ways).

4. Men tend to be stingy with themselves but not necessarily with women. What you see when it comes to spending isn't always what it seems.

5. Men are actually more likely to accept that compatibility matters more than romantic feelings.
