Long story short the more feminine I try to be the more men run away from me. I demanded to be treated like a girl once and poof. Gone. Like, that’s fine by me because I don’t have the time for anything right now, but like wtf? Every dude I’ve met wants me to baby them and take care of them and protect their feelings and walk around eggshells with them. I live in a pretty liberal area too. Don’t get me wrong, I am a masculine on the inside because I never had the choice. I am overprotective. If I see a burning building or a car crash I’ll run towards it. I’m fearless. I have to go to school go to work and take care of my family, I don’t have the option of just getting married like my mom did and being taken care of. I genuinely do not think I’m the problem. It’s the men around me. For fucks sake they get their brows done. FOR ONCE i want someone to protect ME and love ME. I don’t want to date someone who isn’t over their trauma from elementary school because Sarah wouldn’t share her animal cookies with them. Rant over.
