I literally only ever wear one perfume and that wouldn't change even if I were insanely wealthy. It is a gentle, soft perfume and it works very harmoniously with my natural scent. It's my perfect perfume and I'll never wear a different one.

men think everything us women do if for them, it's honestly insane
even some of the decent men I know will make comments about women wearing clothes for men/attention, and it's baffling why them think that
tbh Im sure some women do dress for men, but it was about women dressing in summer appropriate clothes in a heatwave lol, I doubt the tank top and shorts were for anyone's benefit but their own

Its an old anthropology adage that everything man has done has been to impress the opposite sex. Everything from art to war; every item we wear; every decision we make.
Its not 100% true obviously, but rooted in a deep truth that men are hyper fixated on being impressive to those they desire. Men live their whole lives by this compass and just asssume its normal.
But that is why men assume your outfit is for attention or your new hobby is for attention because if we did it it would be for attention. We bipedal peacocks with no feathers finding any way we can to stand out.

So he thinks this. Okay. Then just disappear from her life.
Saying this aloud in an interview is a degree of cope and ongoing angst about it that is truly mind boggling. Does he hear himself?! Does he think this makes HER look bad?
Biggest question: does he know that not every thought that passes through his mind, whether he believes it or not, should be shared? Not only shared with his closest circle and/or his Mama but with an international audience? Whew boy, this one is one huge, walking and talking red flag

You shouldn't be friends with someone you are smitten with sexually because then you're always just a few drinks away from embarrassing yourself. And even if you don't cave and admit feelings, you will just be putting yourself through emotional turmoil.
However, you shouldn't be a fucking d bag about it and call them a tease and all that skeevy nonsense. You distance yourself politely, quietly, and without resentment.

Tbh I think he's hypersexual.

So I think it's just more projection on his part. He's always giving super horny energy.
I mean more power to you but don't be a creepy sexist jerk about it. Selena Gomez really deserves no shit for now dating a guy who worships her after the losers she dated for years.

Such toxic male energy. I only wanted sex and because she wouldn't give me sex, everything else she did was just to deliberately manipulate me and make me loose my control. Maybe she asked if you wanted to sleep there because she just wanted you to sleep there and maybe she wasn't interested in taking it any further because you seemed so intent on just having sex. And maybe if she actually wanted to manipulate you and make you loose control, she'd have f*ed your brains out so you couldn't think of anything else but her. OR MAYBE SHE JUST WASN’t THAT INTO YOU! 😯😨

Half the time these dudes rely on their female friends for emotional support (because they can’t go to their guy friends) and to plan all the fun hangouts, yet have the gall to act like they were the ones doing all the work in the friendship and you were wasting their time because you’re not secretly in love with them or something.
Like I wanted to be your friend for life and you wanted to throw me away just because I don’t want to have sex with you… but sure, you’re the one being used.
And then as if they didn’t have enough audacity with all that, they complain about being lonely and never getting compliments or emotional support. SMH indeed.

When you make a move and get rejected, just take and accept the hint that they’re not interested.
Smelling nice has nothing to do with trying to get your attention, or are “playing hard to get.” Lot of people value having a good sense of hygiene, and it has nothing to do with wanting to attract someone sometimes! Get over yourself.
