Hi Oleg! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. It’s enlightening to say the least. I’m glad you found a place where you felt more accepted and no longer blamed yourself for your experience. I think that is the part that I regret most about my behavior — that some men probably did think it was because they were unattractive when in reality, it was my unexamined bias that was preventing inauthentic connection. Either way, thank you. It means a lot to read your response.
