Hunni, don't worry. Rest in the solace that men are nowhere near as, and equally way picky(ier) than this douchenozzle said. So many men want to be the ones “hunted” and even more full on cashed and kept. On top of that many men who think with their dicks don't care who not what they put them in, so the “wilting flower” thing is way outmatched by every other kink in the world. Although that sadly means there are even worse, the majority are much better. If only the actual losers, like this guy, who don't want an independent woman...
Hell, the biggest asshole I ever dated got me pregnant and after giving birth to my now 15 year old baby, he even threatened to leave me because he missed his “independent girl”. He was an abusive alcoholic and even he didn't want that.
So have some faith in our men, but do keep your eyes open for those monsters in puppy clothing.
Are you still with that man?
I hate this assface talking about how women are like wilting flowers so much, and I hate it even more knowing that there are probably millions of men like that in the world right this moment. I'm so heartbreakingly angry right now (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
