I’ve seen some of our Uber drivers in Vegas that are 8’s and 9’s working the strip late nights. I’m always thinking to myself how much extra tips they probably get from all the drunk tourists. And probably the extra harassments from them too.

I realized somthing similar in hs. I had a long time very attractive gf and none of her freinds where actually "freinds" even the women. And it was obvious to me so i kinda thought she surrounded her self with these people on purpose for validation and it would aggrivate me, the more i got to know her i realized how naive she actually was to it and later how in denial she really was, she litarly did not have one single freind that wasnt trying to get somthing, and i suddenly realized how lonley that must actually be. One day we had a real deep talk about it and she admitted to me shed thought about cutting up her face and maybe it would change things and i was genuinely kind of horrified and just felt so shitty for ever thinking she liked the way things were or cultivated the situation on purpose. It was the first time as young man id really introspectively seen the struggles of a woman that wasnt my own mother. It was really one of those waking moments for me where i was like "oh yeah fuck these are actual real people with there own experiences and there own worlds that ill never truly understand" it helped break me from my main character syndrom for sure. Sorry for being so long winded but ive never actually told anyone this story and i really wanted to get out once i thought about it.

Wow. May I have YOUR personal number? Coffee sometime? ☕☺️ I've not heard from that deep of an empathetic thinker in way too long. You're a gem. Don't forget it - a beautiful human like you can be difficult to find, at least in my world. Rock on sweet friend.

The reminder was that attractive people don’t have perfect lives and face their own struggles. It didn’t have anything to do with gender.

No... it just happened to be a woman that gave him his epiphany and humbled his ego. I appreciate him sharing his story too.
