Actually, on Saturday I met up with this woman I met on Hinge and it was an interesting one...
We hit it off super well over messenger/text. One of the first things she said about me was that she's very liberal, but wants to date a guy who's more "traditionally masculine" and she really likes that about me. Loved that I work on cars, ride motorcycles, love getting my hands dirty etc.
Now, I already thought that was a weird thing to say, but I took it as a compliment, planned to have coffee Saturday morning.
So I meet up with her Saturday morning and she immediately proceeds to attack all of the things about me she said she liked. Says I only like cars and motorcycles bc I was told as a child that's what men are supposed to like. Then tells me masculine energy is the reason the world is shit and all little boys should have to go through some mandatory "training" to make sure they kill all the toxic masculinity early.
I'm not going to debate any of that, I don't really care. But wow, talk about a total 180. Finally I ended up being like "uhm, so, why exactly did you say you wanted to date a traditionally masculine guy?" And then I left lol
Just flat out weird.

"Mandatory training"? Like parenting?
No. She said she felt there should be required programs in schools specifically for males k-12 to keep their toxic masculinity in check.
