Well heaven forbid that nobody is overly interested in them. What an absolute travesty that they have to actively seek out attention.

I swear, those types honestly believe that women just have to sit back and wait, and they'll inevitably be approached by potential suitors seeking romantic relationships.

Unfortunately I have encountered that one particular brand of idiocy so many times. It's fucking astounding how stupid some people can be. It'd be one thing if it was all young, naive men spewing that crap, but sadly that is often not the case.
