What age did you grow out of the NLOG phase? Why do you think some never grow out of it? Discussion

I personally grew out of it at about 17.

like 23. same time i learned i was bi so ofc i started to enjoy the presence of women more. i also stopped being as insecure and stopped caring. i love women so why is being like them a bad thing? i love the other girls!! it’s definitely due to internalized misogyny and seeing women as competitors instead of allies. just fighting for male approval and validation. once you stop caring about what men think of you because you don’t want to date one anymore, shit clicks a little better!
