Search Results: how to act on a first date

Hoping to hear from women in the early 20’s age demographic since this is when women can be most selective.

I know you have better things to be doing on a Saturday night, but before you go to the bar, I’d appreciate a brief thought and a vote. Imagine you are going through your day and you run into a not ugly guy in public — he has one of the poll option moods at the moment. Which of the optioned moods would you be happiest to see if the intention was to be potentially involved with this person at a later date, time or place in any (sexual) capacity?

The obvious answer is both kind and masculine at different times, but please choose as if both was not an option — strictly for the one moment/opportunity you get to form a first impression.

I’ll add photo examples of the demeanors I’m talking about. Reason I ask is I’ve been in a bad mood the last few days due to moving home for summer and not yet having an income (essentially being stuck at home all the time = Hell). The one thing I’ve had access to is the gym, but I notice people act different around me when I’m in a bad mood. They steer clear. Girls ask me how I’m doing with a concerned look. Etc.

People honestly look scared of me.

This had me wondering, masculinity is usually characterized as some form of pent up aggression and hostility— sort of the way I am when I’m in a bad mood. Usually I’m pretty bubbly and easy going. I find that when in a good mood I get more positive attention in general, and women seem more interested. If I’m in a bad mood people just... steer clear.

So, which do you prefer? Today I was somewhere between standoffish and potentially aggressive. Just curious to know. Thanks.

My ex and I have had two very difficult and intense break ups though out the last handful of years, due to our religious differences.
When we first broke up, we were 19 & 18 respectfully. She ended things because she couldn't marry me to her church traditions because I wasn't part of it. She didn't explain it, and shared she thought about it for awhile, but still let me take her family out the night before.
This was followed by her taking out her frustrations on me the one time we interacted after the break up. She claimed injury her and was extremely mean and made hurtful comments about our relationship during that conversation.

Somehow we reconnected 5 months later and dated again. She said she wasn't going to let the religious stuff come between us. She said she always harbored regret and disappointment with herself for how she handled the breakup and conversation.
But she had already committed to a mission, and she did the same thing she had done before. She pushed me away, stopped saying she loved me because she needed to 'detach' for her mission. She said that the pre mission changed her mind and we couldn't be married. Then wouldn't acknowledge what she was doing to me, but still acted like she didn't do any of that. While on her mission, she broke up with me, and tried several times to convert me.
When we confronted each other when she came back, she insisted once more she did absolutely nothing wrong and cast the blame on me for everything.
Was it her mission that makes her feel she did nothing wrong, a d since it was for God and what not, it is ok?
