Can someone please explain this phenomenon I notice. Idk if it's an internal observation issue or really externally things change.

As a happy career-oriented single man. When I'm just focused on improving my career, thinking about work, just doing my thing. I notice women find me attractive, they're nice to me, want me to talk a little bit, and get annoyed or sad when I'm short with them. So I generally feel attractive.

But when I'm dtf, that attraction immediately dissappears. Is it me?

Most women are looking for long term and are not just DTF. So they are losing interest because they can tell that you two are not in the same space in life.

Ladies can tell when you’re trying basically

And can also tell when you are dtf with no long term horizon

Female here. They probably lose interest not bc you’re “trying” that. Rathe, highly likely it’s bc you’re giving off fuckboy energy. As you said, you are dtf, and the girls probably sensed that.

When I begin to sense that a guy I’m interested in may only be dtf, I ditch that ish real quick - despite still being attracted to him. Lots of women avoid fuckboys like the plague because we don’t want to get hurt/has been hurt badly by one before.

This is a sentiment many (if not most) of my girl friends share. I’m supposed that I’m the first to comment on it here.

You probably give off an aloof vibe when you’re focused on yourself. They like that.
Keep it simple keep it short at all times. You’ll save yourself some time and headaches.

I really have a distaste for the push and pull mechanics between men and women. When I'm aloof they're more interested in me. But once I make a tiny move. They just scurry away instantly. What's up with that. But that's with someone I have long term interest in.

Ladies are attracted to confident men w/ the receipts to back it up. However, it looks like your follow through approach w/ getting dates and “hooking up” may be off course somewhere. I’d recommend taking a genuine/straightforward approach and be real about your intentions. Most women can see when a dude only wants one thing from them. And by being honest you can find what you’re looking for (eventually), but you also give the ladies who may not be interested in the same thing the first right of refusal.

Just $0.02 though 🤷🏾‍♂️

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
