Dating advice needed: I'm a 21 year old man in college who dresses alt/baggie or super 70s like button ups and flared jeans/boots. and I been having this problem where every girl I talk to thinks I'm gay. Alot said they aren't used to respectful men...?

keep doing what youre doing. basically you have too much style and emotional intelligence for women to think youre actually in their dating pool

I have a friend who everyone calls a “performative male” when in reality he’s just like that. There’s this preconceived notion that if a man is dressing confidently that he is doing it to get with women or is gay. Unfortunately those ideas are hard to break through but I wish you good luck 🫡

i'm not saying this is true in the slightest, but basically any man with hygiene and a sense of style comes across as gay because straight men simply do not do those things
