Talking about serious emotional issues or relationship problems with other men is pretty much uniformly crap. Most men are conditioned to not open up, or prefer immature viewpoints about all of that - or are just immature and crude and actually think various stupid and abusive things about women. Unfortunately some women actually prefer that.
How is it relevant if some women supposedly prefer that?
To show the problem isn't all one-sided
I don't understand how this makes the problem less one-sided.
When an individual thinks abusive and stupid things about a group of people, it's that's individuals responsibility and issue.
That doesn't change just because you can maybe find a person who prefers you thinking stupid and abusive shit.
A single example is enough to prove something exists.
Decent question really. I guess I was saying that while it’s been disappointing for me, it’s considered desirable and a good attitude by some people.
Perhaps you think too low of yourself? There will always be people who will prefer you to think this or that. Your parents, some dickhead politicians, your peers, ... You don't need everybody to like what you think.
I didn’t say it affected my sense of self worth.
Maybe you have unrealistic expectations. Have you tried thinking even lower of yourself?
I’ve considered it, even tried that, but it didn’t really seem to be of benefit to anyone.
