I suppose the guy who was put off by you having a lot of followers was worried about being brought out of the closet perhaps? Sad that so many people have to live their life in secret like that.
I don't get all this alpha male stuff, sounds like toxic masculinity to me. At any rate, I think given the quality of guys I think waiting until someone worth your time comes along. Good guys are out there I'm sure but they are hard to find.
I realize saying all this without understanding the shame that comes with certain religions... Me being, I guess agnostic with a Pagan interest and being an American it sounds crazy as hell from my perspective. *sigh* Religions ruins everything it seems.
Sorry for the late reply @InbetweenDreamsÂ
Yeah, I do agree with you. They are not worth my time.Â

Actually I think it's the opposite. I believe he doesn't think I have enough followers. Additionally, my social media content is not exciting and I do not fit with what he has in mind. I'm too quirky for him.Â
But as for the guys at my gym trying to flirt with me - yes, fear of religion and culture. And toxic masculinity. I kind of understand with their fear with religion because I was raised as a Muslim but am now out and agnostic. It's a tough situation.Â
I'm taking a break from this whole thing. I think it's best to focus on myself especially with the pandemic that we're having right now. The right guy will come and if not, eh. I think I'm fine with that.
