"We've been trained to suppress our instincts and wait for clear rules to follow"
This is exactly how I feel.
This is from an article by Chase, here it is: https://www.girlschase.com/article/7-factors-behind-2020s-dating-collapse
This is what I believe I've been experiencing ever since I hit puberty so many years ago. I'm 42. Very little women in my life in all those years. I feel very bad, especially considering my age.
Ever since I discovered women around age 12, but especially as I progressed through my teen years and my twenties, I noticed "rules" and "red flags" from the feminist guardian watch-dog that seem to suppress my instincts and left me waiting for clear "rules" to follow" which never came, because the rules society foists upon us men (women too, right?) are NOT clear, they're convoluted non-sense that somehow we're expected to follow if we want to succeed. That stuff (can I say the S word here?) is very intimidating because if you're off even by just a hair, you could be considered a wrong sort of man. A creep.
That is the single biggest reason why I've never been with a woman before. And why I teared up when I read the line from his article that I quoted above.
