I don't let men torment me in personal relationships. I have really good boundaries.

My biggest problem with men is constant street harassment, which you can't really do anything about, and men you have to interact with conducting your daily affairs, like clients, customers, clerks, etc. To be fair, those are rare, the vast majority of men you interact with in that capacity are fine and many go above and beyond for you but it does happen, and noticeably more than with women in those sorts of positions.

I take back what I said, you shouldn't be mentoring. You should be expecting reciprocity in your personal relationships, you just can't compel it. Boundaries, my guy. Boundaries. If youre not being treated the way you want to be treated, then you reject her and move on to someone who will treat you better.

Gonna guess that if you were focused on the right things in who you were asking out, then you would never have had a problem with reciprocity.

What I see is a majority of men wanting to date based on the sexual objectification of women but receive true partnership and companionship from women. Doesn't work that way. You go in playing that game, you'll find the other side of that game because dating apps have made men a cheap commodity. Sucks, doesn't it?

If you want partnership and companionship, you need to date the other side of that.
