I appreciate this raw and vulnerable article you wrote. I have definitely dated like an ugly person for some years. Whenever my friends complain about shitty dating partners, I know that they have a scarcity mindset and low self-esteem. Otherwise, they wouldn't put up with bad treatment.

When I went on my year abroad, I got a lot of attention from guys because I was getting more and more confident and comfortable with who I was. That's why it doesn't surprise me you experienced the same thing. Great article, Christopher!
