men love to consume stories where the women who repeatedly and firmly reject the advances of men are secretly into them and then go and make advances on women who aren't interested in them irl, be angry that those women won't go out with them despite what their stories said, then go and write stories where the women who repeatedly and firmly reject the advances of men are actually secretly into them to cheer themselves up

every time i see a story where a guy asks a girl out 50 times and each time she responds with anger and frustration and absolutely no demonstration of interest and then ~~whoaa~~ we hit that scene where she's like "aww maybe i do fancy this guy" i have to shut my brain off for a while to stop myself from suffering a critical anger overdose
