Even if you weren't physically attracted to him in any way?

Any act of kindness should be appreciated, in my opinion.

from what you've said, I dont think you're LS. you mentioned a source of your problems being scared of aggressive guys. this is quite common for women, and arises due to an evolutionary mechanism. before civilisation, a guy could just come along, rape/beat a woman, walk off. i'm sure there was some degree of natural selection for women who avoided aggressive men.
however, a fear of intimacy with men is more along the lines of erotophobia. LS is more specifically a fear of expressing sexual intent. Are you scared of the prospect of a guy knowing you're attracted to him? to the point where telling a guy that seems insurmountable? girls will often have a very mild tendency to not want to tell guys that, because they're selectors and not competitors, but unless you have a powerful aversion to displaying any intentions of sexuality, then it's probably not LS.

people use media to escape... if media started reflecting reality then how would media make any money? media companies spend vast amounts of
money studying what we want and desire and they create a reality for us to dream in... they're the master craftsmen... they have to be admired
for that but the damage they do is so disconnected from their creation

look at this... the shy/ugly boy meets the outgoing effervescent child who grows up later to be a beautiful status ignoring wife who doesn't care
that the man she "loves" is poor as a church mouse and friendless and she doesn't even follow her childhood dreams




if society ignored hypergamy... the it would collapse... the dreams of the low status male just cannot be given any time of day in the real world
so like porn we have our magical pixie dream girls



you want sexual competition to be easy and based on a simple moral compass... the good guys win and the bad guys don't... the good
guys get laid for being good and the bad guys suffer incel as their punishment

a simple Judeo-Christian tale

Yeah, I would like to free myself from this fucking sexual competition. It's a rat race and I don't want to be a part of it. Not anymore. I can only dream about women competing for me. When I see these so-called 'strong independent feminists' who are having one-stands or rejecting tons of men because they can I truly start to despise our western society which allows (hell, even glorifies) such behavior.

feminists knew from the start that the only power they had was sex and their "attack" is largely based upon it



Margaret Sanger was an evil racist sexist woman who was butt hurt she had a disabled child so decided to hate on all men for their
low genetic quality



ignore the editorialisation ... sound familar?

I don't think that these things make a guy feminine. I only like some of the things you mentioned, anyway, or at least in small quantities. Romance seemed so ill-defined to me anyway. I would think that most men and women want basic things like being with someone who respects them, rather than someone who cuddles a lot. That sort of thing is a lot more subjective.

I'd imagine that most people also like to feel appreciated by their partner, because it usually feels good to be important to someone. But that appreciation comes in many different forms. My husband once found a place online to basically recreate my favorite sweatshirt ever that I had worn out years ago. It was touching because it was personal, and something he decided to do on his own without any pressure from me or societal pressure for a holiday. A lot more romantic, IMO, than getting me chocolates on Valentine's Day, for example.

That's a grander example than most in moments of appreciation in relationships, though. Small, everyday stuff can be awesome.
