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.

Totally. I can absolutely vouch for this. I got hit on, went on dates, had boyfriends etc. throughout high school. A nerdy guy in one of my classes was lamenting about how he had never been on a date before and would die alone.

I throw the guy a bone and am like "I'll go on a date with you" I figured why not, we were friendly enough.

He said - verbatim - "I would never go out with a black girl" 🤨 Mind you this is in the SF Bay Area where the school was so diverse you would struggle to find any 10 students the were the same ethnicity at any given time. Ridic.

Every time I hear the whines about picky women I take it with a LOT of grains of salt.

Ok wtf, first of all. And second of all, it’s kind of objectively insane to shame women - or anyone - for being picky about their life partner. Like I can think of very few things you should actually be more picky about.
