I'm not going to share pics as "evidence" because this was a private conversation, but I wanted to air this out so I don't think about it anymore. I was talking to this woman on Bumble. We're both anime fans, which makes it seem like we'd get along. Our convo wasn't bad at

The first thing I noticed was that she constantly made negative comments towards men, often disparaging men. It didn't bother me since I thought she might have had some issues with guys treating her poorly and dismissed it, but then she'd get upset at me for saying something that

Despite how upset she got at me for saying something and not knowing this thing triggered her, I was pretty understanding. I let her know that I had no intention of mansplaining anything to her, and told her that if she ever felt like I was, to let me know because I didn't want

This is going to sound silly, but a few days later, she got VERY upset when we were talking about BLEACH. Yes, the anime. She told me that she lost interest in BLEACH because Ichigo didn't end up with Rukia. I mentioned that I never saw Rukia and Ichigo as a couple, that they

She said it was "fucking disgusting" that I would bring up incest. I was confused. Never once had I brought up incest. My entire point was that Ichigo and Rukia's relationship did not feel romantic at all. She told me it was extremely upsetting to her that I would say that about

I was never trying to dismiss her pairing, but explain why I felt it didn't work. However, I tried to understand her side. I wouldn't like it if someone said that about a pairing I liked, so I apologized, let her know that wasn't my intent, and said I would be more mindful of

The topic ended and we began talking normally again, and at one point, she mentioned another anime she'd been watching, stating she wished the character she liked would get more development. I hadn't seen the anime, so I asked her about it. She said "I don't find it fun to talk

I still won't share screenshots, but after I told her this, she made another justification, saying she didn't feel strongly enough about the anime to talk about it. Fair. Valid. I wouldn't have minded if she had said that, but if that was how she felt, then why say that other

I let her know. I said I wouldn't be so bothered if she had said that, but it's upsetting when she dismisses my question because I hadn't watched the anime. Her response? "Welp, sorry you were upset over that." There is a stark difference between how I reacted to her when she

I know some people on here might read this and get confused. Isn't this entire thing just about anime? I'd never get upset about an argument over anime. Anime might have been then topic, but it was her treatment of me that hurt. The level of dismissiveness toward me and how I

I had bought plane tickets and rented a hotel out so I could visit her next week, but I canceled those tickets and and hotel room after unmatching her. I plan to move on from this, but I just wanted to say that men who believe they need to guard their feelings and vulnerabilities

@BrandonBVarnell I'm sorry man. It sucks to be supportive and understanding when that's not reciprocated. I don't really get into the "Red Pill" "mansophere" stuff very often, but I think there are more people shaming men who act shitty towards women than the other way. There's good women

@baalzamon35 Yeah, it sucks, but at least i didn't waste $900 bucks traveling to California to meet her now. I have another date lined up that weekend with someone I met in person. Thank you for the support.

@BrandonBVarnell Sucks when it happens. Sorry man. And reading your history with this person, you just ran into a crazy. They're out there.

@Blaise_Corvin It does. I consider this dodging a bullet

@BrandonBVarnell That’s a…really weird interaction. Sounds like she has some real problems she needs to sort out before trying to date. And sadly, it sounds like her therapist isn’t helping much, if at all.

@wrbluepearl Sadly, I think this is a normal interaction between men and women and is a big reason most men avoid women

@BrandonBVarnell Unfortunately, I understand. It's a bitter taste knowing how much society has rotted. Things will get better, but they're going to get worse first.

@V_Hallowhaunt It's sad, but I won't cry about it too much. It's better to know this now than later

@BrandonBVarnell I just can't bring myself to use them because of the percieved artificiality of starting a relationship with expectations that are too high. I find them much stronger when it happens naturally. I dont blame those who do though, I'm just content by myself and dont feel the need

@Jclark1339 I've sadly gone on more dates with women I met on dating apps than I have IRL meetings

@BrandonBVarnell It's rough out there. The first fight I had with my last girlfriend, she immediately resorted to throwing things in my face that I had told her in confidence.

@fred_fisto For a moment, i thought you meant she had thrown stuff at you. I'm sorry that happened man. It's happened to me too.

@BrandonBVarnell Damn you got yourself a real bitch, didn't you? But yeah, it's women like these why so many men are averse to dating. They're downright insufferable

@LeonDVine She wasn't very nice that's for sure

@BrandonBVarnell The dating jungle these days is either win or be treated like someone who isn't worth it when the topic of feelings comes up. I've never used a dating app, but I have experienced the “bashing you for saying something honestly” is ridiculous, I've been through that.

@El_Cosmologo Dating is awful and only gets worse the older you get.

@BrandonBVarnell Sounds like a very nasty person.

@BrandonBVarnell Yikes.

@BrandonBVarnell someone here on twitter said his colleaue shared and girls at work laughed

@BrandonBVarnell Dude what the hell is wrong with people? You deserve so much better, man.
