Maybe you should try to show some interest in what she likes... for a change.

@Carver 🙄 Well, all I'm saying is it seems like [u]you[/u] are very laser-focused on what [u]you[/u] like to eat, how [u]you[/u] feel, how events seem to affect [u]you[/u]. I'm not saying this to be mean. [u]You[/u] just seem very focused on [u]you[/u]. Maybe it's just me, but I show interest in the "other" person.

@Carver Well, I think I have made quite a lot of progress. Maybe you have too. I've just become more aware of how people interact based on my growing understanding of human nature.
If we could just take that anger you have for self-assured men and channel it into something more productive I honestly think you would find better outcomes.

@Carver I'm not trying convince anyone. I am just letting you know your interpretation of my motives is clouded and misdirected. I've seen you take this tack with other males who, like me, confront you with logic, steadfast reasoning, and sincerity. Let's just recognize that there are certain types of men, like me, who you feel you need to push back on for reasons you seem to prefer not to examine. That's fine; that's your choice. I just don't understand what you think you gain by doing so.
I know I respect women who are confident in their roles and don't feel the need to constantly prove themselves to me. I suspect you have not reached that level of self-confidence, but I think you can.
Finally, you seem to hold "not buying any of it" as some type of merit of achievement. The thing is, I'm not selling anything. Maybe one day you will be able to recognize that.
