I gotta say, part of it speaks to entitled young men. 25 years ago when I was trying to get laid and struggling I looked at what I could improve about myself rather than blaming women for not being interested. If I could give 15 yo me some advice on the topic it would be to keep doing what you're doing. Treating women like people and being a good friend got me laid way more than I ever expected given my younger self's self-esteem. That and loving someone harder won't make them any more interested, take the no and move on.
Life lessons, wish I could tell my 15 year old self a few things as well.
