Ok, I was expecting something caustic and awful but that all seemed pretty reasonable. It does suck being a young man who can’t get anyone to date you. Water water everywhere as they say.

Here’s one thing that might help: women are in my experience often afraid of unattached young men, for good reason. They are afraid of being assaulted, they are afraid of being called “sluts”, they are afraid of men who become clingy and needy. And for good reason. If men’s behavior would change- which takes generations- women’s would too. Men need to be taught how to identify snd deal with their emotions at a young age, like women are, and how to think about the needs of others. That’s to do with upbringing and socialization.

A person who doesn’t know how to be gentle and considerate is scary, especially when he is 6 inches taller and has 30 pounds more muscle mass than you, and it doesn’t take many of them to poison the well so that women just can’t take chances. Every woman has a stalker story- ask her about it.
