We get the most unfiltered, raw and genuine insights from both male and female perspectives via the internet's many anonymous forums. Are people telling the real here, but face-to-face daily interactions, are people just saying whatever sounds right at the time to suit their needs? So they can attempt to play you accordingly or extract what they need from you? Are they inviting you to dinner or a day in the next city to sightsee because they are running game? Or are they being genuine?

I admit that I may have wanted a relationship with one guy in particular...but this place has got me thinking. He could be a trp type. He might legit be the 'Chad' narrative the dudes talk about here (even tho I find it ridiculous) and since I am divorced, 30 something with a teen child, of course such a man would see me as a pile of shit because that's their philosophy. It then feels embarrassing to want something that's so not conducive to one's mental wellbeing and perhaps overall wellbeing (eg no one needs to sign up willingly to get used and abused because of someone taking advantage of trust and having strident hangups about people's status). I wonder how pervasive all this trp stuff really is. Maybe I am just being cautious and paranoid, but I am severely distrustful of all men now and Reddit has helped immensely. Anyone else? Men can apply the same just switch men to women and vice verse. I'm welcoming anyone's input.
