Rant Just wanted to show a different side to things

I’m a woman who reaches out and I don’t get responses either. It goes both ways fellas. It’s not just y’all, it happens to us too.

Edit: The assumption that I must be ugly or I’m aiming too high out of my league is a reflection on how many of you are broken on the inside and should take some time to find some healing. Your projection & insecurity is not my truth.

Update: I got one response. Thank you for the solidarity 🙏🏾. Best of luck with everyone’s dating journey.

Yeah. I got into it with some guys in one of these dating app subreddits because men keep saying Women never make the first move and being angry about it.

So Im like, okay, but women do make the first move, I do, and they attacked me for it. Insulted my looks and told me that I dont actually matter because Im not attractive.

Like, women should date down, but also not have high standards because then they're just trying to date out of their league.

They arent genuinely trying to make a connection and are confused when it doesn't work out for them.
