RE: Politeness -- so rare it is now usually mistaken for flirtation.

in #life7 years ago

I have had at least 6 females over the last few years be super mean to me, lie about etc just because I helped them and they expected me to date them, and I really was just being nice.

It is a lot of why I just keep to myself now,

Sort:  

This kind of thing hardens you up from inside. I mean it's good to have a thick skin but if it keeps happening then you become hard on the inside. Not so sure if that's a good thing.
I know a few good guys, real genuine gentlemen. These guys could shrug this off and keep walking their walk. As for me, I can't do it.
So I too just mind my own business now. Seems like the only reasonable option.

Nailed it.

You read some of my stuff.

Read my Thoreau series I usually do about mid week, I literally address some of what you JUST said in there, in each post in the series. Right from week #1 buddy.

Enough years of it, enough times / year, and it changes you. And people don't care.

Just went back to your blog and took a look. I'll be keeping an eye on this series from now on. Wonder how missed it before.
