>>7480433>WhyI don't know for sure. I know I attracted her by acting like an asshole. To drive her away I ceased that behavior. It worked. And all I can rationalize is that the knowledge that my being genuine towards a woman is the perfect way to get rid of them. I guess it just hurts to know that they don't like the person I am, but they liked the person I was being in an effort to keep people away. I'd heard it before, but I guess I just didn't want to believe it was true. And now I know that no woman I will ever meet will be interested in who I am past the bravado I wear. I know I was just being naive in hoping, but it's still awful.
tl;dr - local man is shocked to find that women really do only like asshole men, and will leave someone who stops being one.
