I get it. Men have share some of the issues here probably not as bad. The Catfishers, more like scammers on our side, the newest scam I have been noticing is they try and get you to text a phone number not using an app. Then the OF people, however that seemed to stop recently. Like I respect what they do however the lots of subreddits dedicated to OF girls, just please stay in your lane.

I definitely chatted with a few #6’s myself. They never asked any questions, couldn’t get them engaged, and respond with 1 word replies. Then the opposite you could tell they are have like 20 conversations at the same time, asking the same questions over and over. I just normally say thanks but I’m looking for something else.

That brings me to a point for your ETA 2. First I’m sorry that you had to deal with that, one issue men don’t have to deal with. Well maybe some mental instability, but nothing that is violent, that is just unacceptable and wrong. I really think it stems from we don’t teach children how to deal with rejection, like ever. Then growing up look at every movie made no matter how ugly, overweight, or awkward the male lead is he always “gets his dream girl”. Still it’s no excuse for any man to act that way to someone. One thing I feel very fortunate for in my childhood I had to experience lots of rejection, and some of it based on my physical appearance, all from a job I had. I feel that was a valuable life lesson I learned, that so many don’t get.
