Frequently_Abroad_00 It’s rare to meet a man who asks with curiosity about a woman’s stories, feelings, opinions, and other intricacies of a woman’s inner world. My experience has been that I’m asked factual information (where I am from, what do i do), and these questions leave the impression that I’m being screened for “are you good enough”. And then it stops there. As long as I play nice and smile and meet the expectations, there’s little interest in my inner world. I get listened to if I decide to share , but almost nobody appears interested to explore anything, unless I straightforward say I’m upset or my behavior displays it. It makes me feel like I’m there to fulfill a role and, as long as I am pleasant, what happens inside my soul and mind is insignificant. That makes me feel uninteresting but, mostly, lonely, even when there’s someone in my physical presence.
Are men generally not very interested in what’s going on inside a woman’s soul and mind, as long as the outward behavior is what the man hopes to see?
VFTM Because they legitimately do not care
WeenyDancer They don't think women are people
Ambitious_Ad3253 these men see us more like accessories, something you get because it's time for a relationship or they want to settle down and have a woman to cook and start a family with. these kinds of men don't think relationships should be started because you fall in love with the personality and experiences of a person, more like they found someone attractive and stable enough to start a family with when they decide it's time.
