When I was 20 I dated a guy who told me I would want to wear plenty of makeup and nice shoes - no sight of it

I love those things but in my case I'm "scary" or "ugly" because it's the goth version. You can't win.

Yeah, I dated two guys who both hated my skin and kept asking why it wasn't as good as photographs of models. And another who kept implicitly comparing me to other women, including professional models, asking why I don't wear heels and have a leather hand bag and on and on.

I'm just not that kind of person and yes, my skin isn't as good as other people's. So what.

It's called "naive and immature". I personally had never been taught to see myself as a fully formed person. Unfortunately, I was brought up to think the male gaze was important. I had to teach myself what being an individual means.

I’m also thinking abt the guys’ side. Abt the process that turned them into such assholes not capable of seeing women as individuals/even humans (apparently). How they were taught to behave this way... Argh!! Do you think they may have learned a few things over the years as well?

Yea, the brain is, very unfortunately in this case, incredibly flexible in its ability to learn bizarre perspectives, such as that women are objects.

That's sadly what society teaches everybody.
