Nobody prepares you for how much quieter you become in your 30s. You stop needing to be seen, chosen, understood, or validated. You just want to feel rested, regulated, grounded, and at peace.
Dating men who have actual emotional intelligence is such a mind f*ck. You mean to tell me men exist who are capable of holding space, active listening, emotional support and seeing as whole humans instead of just lusting after us?!
Please stop telling interesting women they’re intimidating. You’re allowed to just admit you don’t know what to do with a woman who isn’t trying to make herself easier for you.
