I always consider myself to be an open man who didn't care about stereotypes. I'm super flamboyant and creative and I usually forgo stereotypical male stuff outside of nerdy stuff or some sports.

I've written two romance novels and I have always been intrigued by romance but I've always hated the male gender role side of romance because it either seems like we look like weirdos at best or dangerous creeps at worst.

Women have a nice advantage of not being able to pursue because men have to pursue.

I hate having to pursue because not every girl rejects gracefully.

I truly regret dating an ex-girlfriend because I gave her so much validation and energy only to get the opposite back.

That's because as a young man I was taught that I shouldn't treat women badly or criticize. All I heard from my mostly female family were horror stories about the bad men.

I grew up trying to understand the feminist way of thinking and I thought that my personality type will be perfect for a woman but so far I've got a sobering look that sometimes I may come off as unattractive.

A lot of girls are not only attracted to masculinity but overt masculinity

My ex-girlfriend kept trying to change me. My clothes were never good enough and I wasn't manly enough. She made it a point to let me know how much of a pussy I was

I know every woman isn't like this but so much of dating for me to be so much of impressing and pursuing while trying to look as macho as possible which is so stereotypically gendered that it's hard for me to take women seriously.

That's why I went to the red pill because I have been the bully ultra nice tentative and empathetic and compassionate and sensitive guy all my life I kept finding myself not only disrespected but continuously rejected.

Some of the reasons these girls say are stereotypically masculine reasons such as I'm not rich enough or manly enough.
