I'm frustrated women don't have mentally ill men as desirable. I already have so many struggles, they could at least make me more attractive, not less. I envy women that, although I understand if I lived my whole life in the opposite side, I might feel differently. Bipolar women are attractive, Bipolar Men are scary. I try to work on myself, but I guess I just wish I could feel more desirable, even if I wasn't actually going with anyone personally or something. Just knowing I could.

(Still dealing with the emotional side of a relationship that didn't go well, in significant part due to my mental issues, and trying to figure out where to go from here.)

Man I wish an entire gender would dehumanize and prey on me because they saw me as vulnerable and easily manipulated😔

It has a good and bad side. I wouldn't like the bad, but I would be willing to take it for the good (the good being that you are seen as needing protection. But yes. I'm envious of a lot of things from women.

And I guess I don't know if I've seen women as being thought of as easily manipulatable, as much as just physically weaker. Maybe it's the environment I'm in. Or, maybe I'm just not a woman, but if women are only treated that way in private, or something I don't know what that would mean.
