Is dating supposed to feel so degrading?

I feel like as a guy, dating feels so degrading. Like I’m a court jester performing so a woman doesn’t unmatch with me and move on to the next guy. Often it feels like begging for coins on the side of the street just for the chance that someone gives me a dollar bill and the. I have to fight other homeless guys to not lose it.

I don’t really even care if I like the women I pursue or try to match with on dating apps. All that really matters is if they’ll give me a shot.
