I don't catch feelings easily. Emotions can't be manufactured. I date and hang out with women all the time, but it's rare for me to actually fall for someone enough to commit to them.

Unreciprocated attraction. Anyone I was ever attracted to, said women weren't attracted to me. Nowadays, I just don't try to date anyone. The only time I'm ever motivated to try is when I see some couple kissing in public.

Go w/ that instinct. And here's some more fuel to the fire. Football is rigged. It's as fake as the WWE.
You're correct, people (and cats) should not be trusted.

Yep. I've always had that problems too. Although, I usually ignore couples in public.

When in public, it is hard to ignore them. It's easy not to worry when not around couples. I was sick during Valentines Day, so I had no time to worry. I was busy trying to get better.

If I watch MGTOW videos, I start thinking "it's probably best that I am single". When I hear about divorce, child support, alimony, and custody battles, I start thinking that being single is a good thing. On the other hand, female affection, companionship, love, those are real. And if done with the right woman, it makes life less lonely.

But what's also real is that there are downsides to relationships as well. You never know what is going on behind closed doors. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I think about this too, when people feel the need to try to convince me how great love is. I have nothing against it but it's true that a lot of people are not the best caretakers of love. People suck sometimes. I don't think some folks understand when you reach your breaking point after being burned so much.

I'm sorry you had to go through all that.

I discovered this concept a few years ago, and it's the most likely reason. I'm reserved and never done things like that. In fact, I experienced the behaviors mentioned by the OP from girls several times when I was in college.

I only like boys I have massive sparks with and that's a rare treat really.
