Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I feel like, as an average white ~40 year old guy in a major city, getting dates and sex wasn't that hard. But from what I've heard, the bar is extremely low. Like, all the woman I talk to (and the men who date men) have horror stories.
I think my worst dates were like... they mildly insulted me.
Neither of those come close to, like, various threats, violence, boundary breaking, and unsolicited dick picks that seem too common.
I've had three women cheat on me, one threaten to shoot me, one tell me "no you don't understand, this is going to happen" when I attempted to refuse sex (which would be called rape if the genders were swapped but legally women can't rape in my area so it was "just" sexual assault), one cry and threaten suicide if I ever wasn't in the mood, and one that stalked me for months.
I'm glad you're having a good time, but women aren't God's Perfect Little Creatures, they also do bad shit too.
Damn, dude, learn to identify red flags.
Workin' on it lol.
Though, would you tell that to women who has had bad experiences with men? Food for thought.
Yeah, I’ve told multiple women that very thing, I’ve got a friend who I’ve said that to like a million times.
Fair enough lol.
