I personally feel like men project the strong independent identity onto me, so that they don't have to support me when I'm in need.
If you are overly impressed by my independence- you, sir, are a red flag.
I don't need to be with someone who wants me to act like I am single, who cannot be DEPENDABLE.
I am not a cool girl, I am not a chill girl.
High maintenance, high standards. Don't come here with your bare-minimum attitude, I ain't the one.
