I know it's a privilege for a lot of people, but as a masculine presenting person attracted to men, I feel jealous of people who get approached by men for dating.

Maybe it's a case of the grass being greener, but I hate how surprising it is for people when I come out to them. It's kept me safe, I can tell, but I would like a guy to flirt with me just once.

As I'm writing this, I'm thinking about things I do to protect myself and how much that's keeping people from approaching me.
