18 分钟She's like, hello, cute stuff.
I'm like, cute?
Okay, sure.
That's Joseph.
Not his real name.
He's 25, works in the entertainment industry and lives in South Asia.
He doesn't want us to name his country.
He's telling me about a couple of dates he went on two years ago with a woman who asked him out from Tinder.
He was excited.
They'd studied in the same city and the woman initially seems keen on him romantically.
On the second one, she was like, I'm not really looking to date.
But then she's like calling me a friend and stuff.
I'm like, okay, what's going on?
That date wasn't the only motivating factor.
But Joseph openly says that at this time he started to develop grudges against women.
He had social struggles.
He had very few female friends, and those two dates highlighted how he was struggling to find genuine connections.
He also says he grew tired of reading online about how men apparently had all the advantages in life.
And at 5 foot 9, he became increasingly frustrated by women seeking men taller than 6 foot on dating apps.
I had grudges.
