Men flirting with other women in front of you…

So, I’ve just been so demoralized with men recently. I feel like I only seem to encounter those on the narcissism spectrum. After some pretty traumatizing experiences with men over the last month, I decided to keep my interactions with them to a minimum. However, earlier this week a childhood friend moved to town and expressed that he wanted to take me out for drinks and dinner. However, when we arrived to the bar he proceeded to check out all of the women inside including our “very sexy” waitress. He had his eyes on her the whole time and she barely paid me any attention when she’d come to check on our table. I was visibly agitated, but he continued to be flirtatious even having the audacity to to strike up a conversation with the girls at the table next to us. I thought maybe feeling annoyed in this context was maybe a little irrational, as we are not in a relationship, but I just couldn’t help but to feel disrespected, and to make matters worse his ex called him several times during our “date”. I honestly just felt like walking out right then and there but I was drunk and starving and felt that I would be sick if I didn’t get something into my stomach. So I proceeded to go to the restaurant with him. He seemed to be more attentive, but then a guy sitting close to us made a mildly rude comment. At that point anger took over, the rest of conversation was side tracked by his deep desire to fight the guy who made the rude comment. He claimed he didn’t want to look like a pussy. Ugh…to make matters worse he decided to end the date early to talk to his ex who was freaking out over losing her wallet lol so I chewed him out. I mean why be so insistent on taking me out if you aren’t going to remain present and you are going to cause chaos? After I called him out, he simply smirked and said, “did that make you uncomfortable?” What is up with this narcissists reaching out to connect with women when they are clearly emotionally unstable and unavailable? Why do they make such an effort to make you feel disrespected and disposable?

I hate men.

End rant.
