This is a woman who writes that she was wrong to consider herself more interesting and better than ordinary guys, and admits that chasing after mysterious & apathetic “alphas” was silly.

She also doesn’t pity herself for her choices or humblebrag about how good she is at pleasing shitty men. And more than that, she never once denies that she chose* these guys or blames men for her problems.

If you genuinely have issues with modern dating culture and/or the appropriation of feminism for narcissistic and superficial purposes, this author is the kind of person you’d consider an ally.

*Both pickup artists and many narcissistic female essayists will say that attraction is “not a choice.” They’ll say that men can’t help but be attracted to younger women and that women can’t help but be attracted to aggressive “alpha” males. They’re both wrong.
