Finally hit the nail on the head with this post.

It all makes sense now.

That's my point.

That's a given. It's a prophylactic move.

This is definitely OP's elephant in the room.

Yup. Life can be very cruel sometimes.

I'm sure, I'm treated differently compared to my good looking male friends.

Damn you beautiful people! Lol

Exactly.



How is this difficult?

Selective comprehension seems to be yours.

Mikala said "prophylactic." (snicker)

Yes. And a well-known "nobody gets hurt this way" one. When it's EVERY woman, though...oh, never mind. Anyone here who wants to get it, gets it.

OP, whether you come clean or not about what you're REALLY feeling does not affect us.

The only person it affects is you. To us you're coming off as scorned, envious, and entitled. All of this other stuff you've posted seems more like a crutch/cover up for your true feelings. I don't know your TRUE intention for sure but what I stated earlier APPEARS to be the case. Your mention of how your "good looking" friends get treated different confirms that fact. As I have said before, it affects no one but you.

Define "come clean."

Seriously. I've probably explained the situation to its core at least 10 times (at least) and because of your own perceptual filters, you cannot accept what I'm saying is what is actually happening.

Your implicit bias informs that everything I'm saying MUST be the result of some kind of action that I'm doing that:

1) I'm not even aware of.
2) Is causing the women to react to me as if I WERE flirting with them.

There's no consideration of the possibility that I am telling you all the 100% truth and you cannot even entertain the possibility that there are shallow women who assume I'm interested in them when making polite, platonic and innocent conversation.

I'd ask you to hold up your high powered observational techniques to a mirror and realize that you likely bring your own biases and perceptions to this conversation. You and several others are projecting some deep-seated attitude about men onto me as if I were some wacked out Men's Rights guy and I'm not.

I'm fully aware of my body language, syntax, physical space and choice of vocabulary. I'm not a sociopathic dude who is unaware of the realities of our world.

The simple fact that women I've run into treat some guys one way and other guys another way based on looks apparently is a foreign concept to many women in this forum.

That, or some folks just want to be needlessly contrarian.
