Because that's seen as less manly.
Which is kinda the opposite of ironic, because obviously, manly things are things men like.
Imagine a man's reaction to a breakup would be to get into things women like, like exfoliating, trimming your eyebrows, etc. People would probably be like "He's so much better without her".
I've had more than one woman in my life tell me how gay I am for having an oatmeal exfoliating facewash and moisturizer in my shower. because apparently i'm suppose to use soap only or something.
You always talk about your experience dating and it is crazy to me, I live in a different world. How you are attracting so many incompatible people, it's so strange. I would be a bad fit for probably 80% of guys my age (like most people, probably)but only the 20% who do sort of fit ever responded to me in any way, or we figured out fast that it wouldn't work. And when I was younger, I'm sure it was less than that 20%!
How are you somehow only attracting people who are not attracted to you? Surely your 20% exists, and it seems like the odds of finding one would be pretty good. Like basically - if you just keep the cat picture up, why is it not cat ladies responding?
Because I attract mentally unwell women, that's why.
It's been my entire life, since I was a child. When I was 10 years I had 16 year old girls sexually harass me in the library. I was too innocent to know what was going on and the librarian basically kicked them out because they would not leave me alone after I politely asked them to do so. Then year after year I had some weird crazy woman harassing me or stalking me, on the regular.
When I post my dating profile to reddit years ago, I got many crazy women DMing me. Something about my face just drives them wild and they start projecting their crazy psycho fantasies onto me. Normal women don't find me attractive, they just think I'm boring. But if she is damaged and not taking her meds, she thinks I'm the hottest guy ever.
Some women are for the patriarchy.
Sometimes, an "Are you gay" from a woman even is a "why are you not fucking me"; be it subconsciously, or a conscious flirty challenge.
Sometimes, it's a "My man would never do anything like that and other man shouldn't make him look bad in comparison". Although I guess that's the patriarchy thing again. Just like red pill podcast pickmes.
Of course all doesn't matter, you could be the most effeminate man in the world - as long as you're attracted to women, there's no question.
