Throughout my life attempting to date has been elusive. Growing up girls/women only dated thuggish guys/men. Eventually, through attempting to connect with women, listening to the way women refer to men, and dealing with my own absent mother issues I realize that women mostly look down on men and have no empathy for them at all. I also came to this conclusion after trying to reconcile with my mother but she never gave me a real apology. And I noticed that she when she did apologize it was only when she felt guilty about my past. I never received a real apology from her so I moved on.
