Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Honestly I don't see what makes chasing after women so special, you men have better things to do in your lives.

So go out there & enjoy your hobbies. Stop wasting your time with this nonsense & trust me; you men will still be hated but at least you'll be educated.

Men looking for women as romantic partners is like searching for potable water in a desert.

When looking for men as romantic partners is like searching for potable water in a SWAMP.

How come str8s don't consult with their local LGBTQ+ friendos? I like playing matchmaker.

Gotta have local friendos first...

Because with the possible exception of the bi's, you're all inherently unqualified for the job of setting up a heterosexual relationship. Why don't you ask straight men to pick out sweaters? Because we're bad at it at an anatomical level.

Yep, that's just how it is these days. Let me ask though, does it really matter?

If the girls are afraid of the guys, that's their problem, not yours. Stick the time into something else you enjoy, let nature run it's course. Find a job you don't hate, spend your money as you like, live a happy life without the anxiety of rejection.

We're finally approaching some twisted semblance of equality via men becoming afraid of women in return ._.

Men who took the lesson to heart:
Ladies don't want to talk to you.
They don't want you to approach them.
They don't want you to initiate social interaction.
Men need to be less visible, less audible, overall less perceptible, because this coincides with them being less obnoxious.

Instead of teaching them to act in less obnoxious ways, society taught them to act less--period.

And so, I now see unironic posts showing up on social media of women asking each other (paraphrased),
"Why don't men ever talk to me anymore?"
"Why don't men ever approach me anymore?"
"Even when I see men in public, they never even acknowledge me. Why are they ignoring me? What is going on?"

A lot of folks heard the pleas of women wishing men would just leave them alone. And a fair proportion of the men acquiesced.

I mean, yeah, SOME didn't, and became even more obnoxious, but the chronically unfuckable bootlicking simps of the fascist grift are more miserable now than they've ever been; The few that "seem" "successful" are just poster children of survivorship bias, pied pipers leading the naive and highly suggestible to self-inflicted ruin.

I have divested myself of this bizarre tragedy of errors. Humans are humans. I treat humans like humans. If other people project weird freaky intentions upon me while I'm JUST trying to mind my own gods damned business existing within line of sight and vague proximity, that's THEIR skill issue. AT LEAST nonbinary asexual persons never get weird at me like the ones vested in all the maladaptive notions and festooned in toxic stereotypes... and it's refreshing. Good riddance to all the outdated reproductive caste dynamics. Good riddance to the gilded cage of having to drag-perform whatever the fuck I was assigned at birth.

does it really matter?

Does a dysfunctional society matter?

Fun fact, by doing the above, you’ll end up meeting women who don’t feel that way and are relationship material, and plenty of acquaintances who think you “don’t count” because you’re “one of the good ones”.

if girls are afraid of guys, that's my problem

I understand you but I want to continue being grossed out by the idea of people thinking I am a rapist. Purely because I don't want to be desensitized to this subject.
