I think there's a bit of an echo chamber online to a degree. I agree with some of the sentiments... like opening myself to being vulnerable around certain women they see it as weak. I've shown vulnerability to people in the past and they applaud my ability to do that. Others not so much... for whatever reason.
Crazy how some women lose interest and ghost on you though and you don't know why. I had one chick hit me up after two years. She was married at the time I think. She used to be a coworker of mine. Anyway she talked about grabbing lunch together. All signs pointed to her being interested in me. We caught up about life, I was telling her about my father's death, her divorce, dating, etc.
After that interaction, heavy texting and conversing she sort of just ghosted, less interested in me. Not sure what it was. She's super Christian and I guess she wanted a guy like that. No idea.
Also some girls just lose interest but they will waste your time unless you call them out on it. Still brooding over this one girl I dated in the summer through September. In retrospect it felt like we had a series of first dates together. Not sure why I didn't see the signs or why she wasted my time (luckily not my money - she split).
I'm jaded from dating for different reasons. I have all the tools and I've been single over a year. Just female nature on many angles annoys me.
Now my ex hit me up about flirting with a 'friend' of hers lol. Whatever I blocked her ha.
I realize I have to be more ruthless with my time/money/energy when it comes to relationships as a whole.
