Thank you for acknowledging this. And it’s true that women make the same mistake of generalizing. But I will say that we women need to thread even more cautiously because of the risk we take when meeting someone new. The sad reality is that a lot of men don’t know how to control their emotions when faced with rejection or something they dislike and we women fear physical retaliation because of it. This is probably one of the biggest reasons why women are forgoing dating. We would rather be safe than sorry.
