I gotcha but I see this play out in reality too. Some of my good male friends are legit beautiful. Inside and out. The type of corny sweet that a lot of ya'll criticize. I was in Canada and I guess I underestimated the cold. Dude looked at me, rolled his eyes and took his jacket off and bundled me up like a 3 year old. He could have ran thru me and every female in our circle.
Dude had a herd of male frienemies who was ALWAYS hating but he is one of the sweetest dudes ever.
I learn so much about male dynamics from these dudes. I never really thought about how a good man can make enemies JUST by being real or successful. I used to think that was some catty female shyt. Nope.
But I digress. Their energy is completely different as men, b/c I've known some other dudes too. They talk to me about their frustrations with chicks and I can tell they make women uncomfortable.
It would be easy to say this is just about looks but it's not. Sure looks can be a cheat card but there are men out there who would not be every woman's cup of tea, but the way they make you feel is indescribable. Magnetic. Calming yet energizing at the same time. Men have that power and when they tap into it, they ain't gotta be pressed, or be a$$holes, or nasty or hateful. Life ain't easy, but they not stressed.

Guess I gotta learn how to tap into that power. I used to be in that woman-hating phase, but after a while of understanding women I get why you all do the things you do. At this point, after being battle-scarred, I have a very aloof mentality towards them, to the point I don’t really want to deal with women right now, because I’m not at the level where I want to be in life. So yeah, while I personally don’t disrespect women, these days I’m not inclined to shoot my shot anymore. Besides, if a woman likes you and wants you she will make it known these days, so no sense in shooting for it when I’m not even where I’d like to be yet (looks, finances, etc.) even though I am working on being more sociable.
It’s kinda boring, but I totally get it. If you want a woman to be attracted to you you have to give her something to be attracted to. Personality can only get you so far. So now I’m just living life woman-less, but at some point when everything is decent then I’ll put myself out there again.
