I think I am going to be single forever because I cannot find a man that will respect my boundaries and that I am not scared of.
I’m pretty bummed out. I never pictured myself being single for my whole life.
For the past two years I have taken a break from dating because of so many bad experiences and in that time my life has flourished.
I have gotten three raises and three promotions.
My self-esteem and self-worth has skyrocketed, along with my confidence. I no longer allow people to treat me with disrespect or talk down to me and I am not afraid to have boundaries anymore.
Every man I speak to or try to plan a date with blows me off because of this. Most of them blow me off because I’m not comfortable giving my phone number before we meet. Or I get blown off when I make it clear I am not interested in S right away even though my profile clarifies I am not looking for a hookup. Even the men that say they understand still try to F when we meet.
It’s like when I say I am not interested in S right away all they hear is that I need some convincing or as soon as they touch me I’m just not going to be able to resist them (eye roll).
I am so frustrated. There was just a post I saw online where everybody is trashing a girl because she nicely and respectfully decided to go her separate ways over tinder because it was unclear if this man was inviting her over for tea to his house or in public and there were so many comments from men trashing her.
“ You dodged a bullet.” Like this girl was literally so chill and respectful and all of these men see her turning down a man and think oh my God she’s a crazy good thing he dodged a bullet.
The entitlement and audacity of the majority of men these days I can no longer deal with. Does anyone else feel the sense of hopelessness with men now? I think that because my life has improved so much without men bringing me down I should just plan the rest of my life being on my own. It’s just depressing. Why are they so entitled? And the hatred of women for no reason. God it makes me angry.
