I wanted to see if, by understanding the idea of dating, I’ll be more open to it and more open to men and seeing them in a better light. I wanted to find out if my dating habits were normal or if the thoughts and feelings I had were normal. So when I stumbled upon How To Date Men When You Hate Men by Blythe Roberson, I thought, “oh my god I need to read this.” Not only because I was curious, but because I wanted to see if it would help me get over the “all men are trash” mentality I have–not for the sake of the male population, but for myself when I’m in the dating world. It’s living in fear of being taken advantage of again, emotionally, mentally, physically. It’s a mixture of everything, with overthinking and anxieties and all. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I really like Harry Styles and Timothee Chalamat (as we all do), but when it comes to men that I actually have a chance of dating, I have a hard time. As a woman and as a victim of sexual assault, it’s been hard for me to like men.
