There was this girl in my classes last semester and at that point in my I was in the darkest phase of my life, being hopeless and depressed, talkless and anti-social and whatnot. I was so depressed I could barely give a fuck about anything or anyone, and I'm not trying to brag here but I got her attracted to me (many, many clear IOIs) without even trying although that was not my intention.

This has happened several times throughout my life because having been fairly depressed all my life, aloofness and DGAF-ness is now at the core of my personality. Girls clearly get attracted to me more when I'm fucking suicidal and aloof towards them than when I'm smiling at them and being nice to them. wtf???

It has already widely been established and agreed upon by psychologists as well as in the TRP forum that girls find aloofness attractive in men. But why?
