Hi, all.

Honestly, I can't even feel excited about a woman being attracted to me anymore. A part of me already expects her interest to be superficial, self serving and, ultimately, fleeting.

While I don't quite agree with all of the sentiment here and believe that this entire condition is the result of social engineering that keeps people, including men and women, unwittingly playing their respective social roles, I'd be lying if I said I didn't relate to an overwhelming bit of what is being put down here.
