Hello there! Before going into my story I would like to provide some context: I am a 20 year old virgin (never really bothered by that fact), 5'4 - 5'5 ft or around 165cm tall (used to be ridiculously insecure of my height though now it has substantially lessened), never been in a romantic relationship, and average looking or maybe if I put on more effort I'll be a bit above average in looks in optimistic terms (I am insecure of my body and looks and currently trying to fix it with improving my fashion sense, style, working out, dieting, such and such.

As you can see I'm not really that much of a catch especially considering beyond my looks alone I'm not the most jovial, charismatic, or approachable person out there, and I have more nerdy interests and inclinations but despite all that I still manage to form lasting friendships and have close acquaintances with a diverse range of people, in fact my closest friends are women and they are the primary reason why I never fully bought into the redpill ideology. I mean I flirted with the idea of being a redpiller or even a blackpiller especially when I was in my angry and bitter stage at 18 years old but still I ultimately didn't and I am thankful for that.

Having female friends gave me the insider perspective so to say, wherein as I have observed women aren't really what the redpill would like to present as the "other", you know beings who are desirable but to be feared, be cautious around, or even be disdained and hated. They are ultimately human beings just like men, they are imperfect, are culpable to human failings, and are subject to human thoughts and emotions, if you simply remove that veil of mystique around them you'll realize they're really not so different from guys. I believe its mostly social constructs such as gender roles and gender expectations that exacerbate this problem but that's another story for another time.

I have several experiences that I could share to elaborate my points further but I feel my post is getting too long so maybe I'll put them in another post or in the comment section. (I'm new to this so please let me know if I did anything wrong and also English is not my native language)
