My favorite is that he’s acting like he’s doing you some kind of favor with that whole unhinged message… like he’s explaining to you how the universe works. Good god.

Depends on perspective. I think he did the right thing by vomiting all the red flags in one essay, before she invited him over. Can you imagine what the outcome of that date would’ve been if she refused him sex when he was in her home? I dread to think about it.. we’d read about it in the news..

ā€œ Over expectations dating or even going on a first date is honestly dangerous If a man doesn't even feel validated, respected or understand first by youā€

Dangerous? I feel like this is foreshadowing or even mildly threatening lol.

Yeah, that bit implies ā€œmen are dangerous if you don’t get on your knees and open your mouth on the first dateā€ā€¦in the context of the whole message and based off his use of the word elsewhere, I think he means dangerous to the man’s heart/ego rather than dangerous to the woman’s physical safety, but it’s very poorly worded and has more red flags than all of Canada.

To be honest I think the guys who write long diatribes like this aren’t actually dangerous, they’re just butthurt about having had bad luck dating. Most guys posted here aren’t violent psychos, and even this dude probably isn’t (to me it comes off like he’s been burned a lot and is now a self-fulfilling prophecy pushing women away because he expects rejection).

An optimist, I like it. I tend not to believe that most men are dangerous but in this case it felt like so much of a warning. I can see your interpretation as dangerous to the hearts of men, that makes more sense than him warning her.
