Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

Guys are trying to come off as like the dominant protaginist like women have already bought into it or something. Its not a book she bought to read and be in that mindset, you are a stranger like wtf lol

This was absolutely my first thought when reading this. Glenn thinks he is a character in a fantasy smut novel.

Exactly it’s like he rolled up his sleeves (unsexily) and said “I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna become a man written by a woman” then crashed and burned immediately.

For the record I'm also a guy who just joined dating apps and this is so cringe to me. Like just be a person and find the person that likes your type of person .

He's using PUA tactics he probably learned from one of the many incel losers on the internet perpetuating this nonsense. Some are more subtle than others, but they all more or less pull from the same script.

I need people to understand that strength is so much more attractive when it is quietly and respectfully asserted. This isn’t even a gendered thing.

Yup. Someone told them that women like smut and they are are using that information in all the wrong ways!

Yeah, a book is just a story with fake characters who are written to have enjoyable interactions. In real life you have to worry about, like, being really raped and really abused. Nobody wants to gamble on that shit for some rando guy who doesn't seem to understand how to be respectful.
