"I have presented my flesh in his presence and that wasn't automatically rewarded. What am I doing wrong?"

Have you tried... talking about shared interests? Being funny? Being charming and confident? Putting effort into romance? Like all the same advice that help men gain interest from women works the other way around too, you know? We're all human.

have you dated recently?

social media is rife with woman-o-sphere nonsense that basically tells women all they have to do is sit there and look pretty and embrace traditional gender roles and be totally passive. everyone freaks out abotu the manosphere, but the womanosphere is just as toxic... but you can't acknowledge how toxic it is it or you 'hate women'. because apparently if men are sexist douchebags, that's horrible, but if women are, it's their them expressing their freedom, or something.

there has been a big shift in the past 5 years towards this stuff. I have noticed it a lot in dating, most women I meet now are incredibly passive and convinced that everything in the relationship is the man's responsibility.

There's a lot of profiles now who outright say they expect you to plan the date, make the first move etc.

My last date before meeting my wife was 9 years ago. So no.
