It baffles me that, in 2025, men are still so self-centered that they go after women who literally say they're not interested in them

Him: I like you

Her: I don't like you

Him: but I like you!

This is in short, my experience with men every single day as a woman trying out online dating. I'm not saying all men are like this, because that's not true, I'm saying most are.

They literally don't care about anything but their point of view. If they like you. The other side is completely irrelevant to them.

One golden example, (among many many others):

I blocked a guy after he made sexual comments too soon for my taste, and for lack of any kind of interest after talking for some time.

He came back with another account and asked me why I blocked him. I explained it to him, literally told him that I'm not interested, and he told me this: But I like your sense of humor and how intelligent you are, we could grab a coffee sometimes.

So he ignored the social cue I gave him, (blocking him= I don't want contact anymore), came back - which disrespects my boundaries, and asked me AGAIN to hang out with him.

This is a very simple example, but it says a lot about how they think. It illustrates how absolutely deaf they are for women's words, needs, thoughts, wishes. Your voice doesn't matter. It's like they're talking to a wall. You could be absolutely anyone, and they would still approach every single women the same exact way.

And also, why do I have to constantly impress them? Why am I the one who's under the magnifying glass, and not them? My every word dissected, my looks analyzed in detail, my every action constantly evaluated. What are YOU doing to win ME over? Does anyone think of that? Why is it so fucking one-sided?

Some would say: you're such a crybaby, the guy likes you, he asked you out and you act like such a bitch, give him a chance, calm down a bit, don't be so hysterical.

Well - go fuck yourself. I. DON'T. LIKE. YOU. LISTEN TO THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH FOR ONE MOTHERFUCKING TIME IN YOUR LIFE.
