A male acquaintance expressed interest in dating me. While expressing this interest, he felt that it was necessary to reassure me that he wasn’t a “player” who was sleeping with different women every weekend. Ladies, this man is middle aged, bald, extremely obese, an alcoholic, and a self-described “adult kid” and yet he’s convinced that there’s a plethora of women out there just waiting to have sex with him if he’d give them the chance.
I’m not sure where this level of delusion comes from, but I think part of it may be the fact that men his age grew up watching media that constantly showed beautiful women with unattractive, irresponsible, or immature men (movies like Knocked Up, The Hangover, Wedding Crashers, Hall Pass, Billy Madison, Dodgeball, etc. ) I don’t mean to be disrespectful about his appearance but he’s the type who immediately makes rude or disparaging comments about women he finds unattractive. The lack of self awareness is unreal. Rant over.
I wish all of us women would have 1% of the audacity of the average cisgender white male!!! As horrible and delulu as they are, we should learn from them...not become them. No. But....learn to be more confident. If THAT man can "judge" other women on appeances while looking like what you said, then WE, WOMEN, NEED TO MAKE IT 10 TIMES MORE!!! 😎
