So I moved from a relatively civilized country to a place where dating is non-existent and men at large treat women like shit so faced a huge culture shock when I started dating men. Now I know men in my native country are 99% LVM/NVM because I grew up with them (father, uncles etc) lol but I still doubted myself and let slip huge red flags in the name of "oh he doesn't know any better". But NO ! WE don't know any better. We simply only know HVM who treat women greatly and value and cherish them. I started applying this strategy and my dating life started looking better.

Oh you don't text back? Idk a single man who isn't courteous enough to reply, you definitely must be an uncivil creep.

Oh you don't like going out? That's wild, all the men I know love taking me out and showing me a good time, you must be a defunct.

Oh you only want something casual? I only know of men who plan their lives and move accordingly, you must be a lazy fuck with no future.

We girls are raised to expect shit but seriously, be as ruthless as you can. Rule with an iron fist.
