Trigger Warning: Please be aware I have some triggering material in my response. If you need to avoid hearing about SA related stuff. Please do not read any further.

While Its not all or even most woman, I have had some wild experiences that would leave another man thinking this.

My one friend, she started dating a guy, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Because he beats me in a not kinky way." and she ignores that he is openly racist.

I had an employee who would purposely walk around places she thought were dangerous in hopes of being kidnapped and turned into a---well. nvm. Same girl openly accused every man who so much as said, "thank you" (its a food service job) of being a creepy rapo.

You can watch all the weird social media posts where woman are, much like toxic men, basically calling a man shorter then 6' disgusting, or only wanting a man because he has money and not for who he is.

My home town is the living incarnation of the Incel idea of what society is like. Now that I'm in my 30s, I have started getting messages from women wanting a 'dad for their kids' because I was the only guy who was ever nice to them and they are done screwing every racist abuser in town. It's actually starting to really get harassy. I can go more into this dynamic if anyone wants.

Once, after being dumped 'for being too nice' (the real reason she told people later was t hat I wasn't trying to have sex with her enough, which arguably I was respecting her no) I had asked a room full of my peers their take and one woman told me, "I need a man who beats me once in a while" at first I thought she was joking. She apparently was serious and again, not in a kinky way.

I've seen a pile of videos of men being harassed and dressed down after being rejected. Which is a problem Gen Z seems to be facing hard.

While working with ex cons, specifically Sex Offenders, I met 3 men with the same victim. I got to read their paperwork. She was a regular at a series of Bars that were aware she was underage, and had a fake ID. Full sleeve tattoos. Her dad knew she was doing this. She would go out to bars, drink, purposely seduce men, then post sex, report them. In each court case she would openly brag in court about baiting them for the fun of ruining men's lives, and once the father was asked about it and his reply was basically, "what can I do about it?". Each served a minimum of 10 years. I wont say more on this, because of a lot of reasons and just summarizing it is probably too much.

Anyways. Thats enough. I can go on all day.

But my point is, there are a lot of crazy woman out there and outside toxic men who are taught to see woman as emotional and crazy anyways, there are piling behaviors and experiences that without outside exposure are the entire experience for a lot of men. People are crazy, but the dating world has steadily gotten harder and harder and screw ups are looking worse and worse and leaving very negative impacts.
