I feel like a lot of the girls who send you anons are such pick me girls, whether they are "perverts" or really "respectful" and "intellectual" girls lol.
āHow do you feel about receiving so much female attention? They even seem to be seeking your validation at times. Does it flatter you? Or is it kinda of... annoying...?
Actually, I would dare to say that even some guys might also send you this type of messages, in a way seeking the same dynamic.
-La que no entiende sarcasmo (ya ni siquiera recuerdo con que seudónimo firmaba los anons que en algún momento te envié jaja). Espero que esta "pregunta" no te moleste
I know you said most, not all.
I still think immediately reducing women into categories like āpick me girlsā is another form of internet brain rot honestly.
People online have become very addicted to collapsing complicated human behavior into quick labels because it is easier, faster, and emotionally satisfying. The moment someone acts awkward, attention-seeking, overly flirtatious, validation-seeking, emotionally attached, competitive, or performative, people rush to assign them an identity instead of actually looking at them as an individual person with specific motivations.
But human beings are not that simple.
A woman can genuinely admire someone intellectually and still seek validation from them emotionally at the same time. Someone can be lonely without being manipulative. Someone can flirt badly without being malicious. Someone can be overly sexual because anonymity lowered their sense of boundaries, not because their entire personality is āpick me behavior.ā
And honestly, by that same logic, even sending me an anonymous ask specifically to separate yourself morally from the āother womenā in my inbox could technically be framed as a form of validation-seeking too.
That is part of why I dislike reducing people this way in the first place.
Most human interaction is more complicated than people want to admit. Attraction, admiration, loneliness, validation, insecurity, curiosity, attention-seeking, emotional projection, all of those things overlap constantly.
Internet culture has made people increasingly uncomfortable with nuance. Everything has to become a category, a meme, a personality type, a red flag, or a social archetype people can immediately recognize and judge.
I think that mindset slowly damages peopleās ability to actually understand one another honestly.
Some of the women messaging me are absolutely trying too hard for my attention. Some are projecting fantasies onto me. Some are lonely. Some are emotionally impulsive. Some are just intelligent people who enjoy philosophy, writing, or conversation and happen to find me attractive as well.
I can usually tell the difference pretty quickly.
And honestly, the attention itself does not affect my ego very much.
Genuine conversation is meaningful to me. Respectful admiration is meaningful to me. Thoughtful people are meaningful to me.
But attention by itself is cheap. A person being attracted to you does not automatically mean they understand you, see you clearly, or even care about who you actually are beyond the role they assigned you in their head.
That is part of why internet attention can feel strangely hollow after a while. A lot of people are interacting with an idea of you they built from fragments rather than the real person behind the screen.
And yes, men absolutely do this too. Just differently sometimes.
I think people online in general have become very comfortable turning strangers into emotional projections instead of remembering they are dealing with actual human beings.
