What is one thing you learned about the opposite gender that surprised/shocked you when you were growing up?

Most women don't care about you or will treat you with respect. A woman only "cares" about you in proportion to how many resources or entertainment you can provide her with.

That's why if you're broke, women won't give you the time of day. If you're short, women won't give you the time of day. They want financial, physical, and future security from you in the form of a well-paying career, height and strength, and confidence. If you can't give them ALL of that, they won't even pretend to be nice to you.

Most (but not all) women are gold diggers, really. Even TLC admitted this 25 years ago. I was just too young to listen.

And then they act like you pointing out the truth makes you a "woman hater" or "incel" or some sh*t. Blow me. I'm all out of f*cks to give.

TL;DR: Most women only use men and almost none of them will respect a man she can't get something from.

To be fair though, I used to think MOST human beings were actually nicer and better than they truly are in reality. Most people are dogsh*t; selfish, stupid, jerks. So it's best not to concern yourself with their thoughts and opinions of you. Being "selfish" against selfish people, is the best way to protect yourself.

I was raised that all women were ladies and were to be treated that way. The reality was WAY different. I was amazed at the depths of depravity some women will go to.

I saw a naked guy for the first time when my best friends brother ran around the house naked while I was visiting her and I was surprised at how ugly the male body looked. He was just a friend and I guess he viewed me as a family member and not a stranger so he felt comfortable enough to do that.

How they didn't play with they're own boobs all the time. That would take discipline.
