Do I really have to be cutesy and girly and dainty to get a bf?😭 Like can I just wear my graphic tees and play video games? I get insecure about not being girly sometimes. The self-hate is kicking in tonight.

Nah you don’t have to be cutesy and girly. When I was dating my bf’s gamed with me and loved my T-shirts.

Literally just do whatever you want and you’ll end up meeting someone who likes doing the same things as you. The more you force yourself to try to be someone you’re not, the less likely you’re going to make genuine connections since they never get to know the real you

This is pick me? Shit, then why aren’t they picking me??😭😭 It’s something I’m genuinely insecure about. I feel like I’m so low maintenance. I wish I had the willpower to do my nails, lashes, new hairstyle, etc. every 2 weeks. It makes me feel like I have no value as a woman based on society’s standards.

I’m hot and funny. Probably not “cute”. I’m kinda masculine and rough😭

I know I shouldn’t care but 2 guys said something that genuinely hurt me and I barely get hurt. One guy I was dating said “I’m so glad you’re low maintenance. I’m sick of girls who do too much and ask for stuff you can’t even afford.” In his head he thinks that’s a compliment but it genuinely made me feel basic and low tier. Like I should be doing my nails and lashes a lot and asking him to pay for it. It made me feel like I wasn’t doing enough as a woman. Or asking he to take me traveling.

It made me feel like I’m too chill and not in a cool girl way (for the people saying this is pick me). It made me feel like I was wasting my potential or something. And another guy I used to talk to reposted something on TikTok agreeing that he hates girls that are masculine/not feminine enough. And tbh, I cried. Because it’s not just about not feeling feminine enough. It’s also about feeling weird and different in every aspect in my life.
