TBH I'm not sure what your issue is with that it's not a personal attack or saying that you are full of it, it's at the statement that I was referring to. My implication is that you have been mislead not calling you yourself out on anything. I'm here telling you that what your impressions of women and society is not accurate. not sure why you've picked out the one word and/or line out of a whole larger post in that I've said quite a few other things. I'll be honest, it seems to me that you're zeroing in on something and haven't really heard much of what I actually said because of it. But to each his own.

In summary let me say what I mean more to the point. Shift your thinking from believing in stereotypes related to roles in society as if they are rigid and accept who and what you are not as someone strange or eccentric in comparison to what you believe is the norm. You are perfectly normal being shy and introverted and it is not a reflection as weak or bad. My point is that you do NOT have to think your role as a mate for a woman is to be her protector, savior and all the other clichés that the world makes but find a woman that wants what and who you are right now. Trying to become or be something that you're not will only come off as someone playing a persona and it will never work. Trust me I understand your situation far better than you think but I also know there are plenty of women that would appreciate a guy like you. They likely are not as easy to find is all.

Anyway take my words for what they are worth to you.. If you get nothing from my post. leave it. Just trying to help.
