MY HONEST reaction was "This is what predictably happens when people either fall for some weirdo wearing a giant metal mask around all day for no apparent reason and treat it as perfectly normal behavior and instead of figuring out what is guy trying to hide".  An equally terrible dating strategy is to court the woman you love by approaching her 2 entirely different people by wearing a freaky metal mask for your "nice guy" persona while using your true identity to play as the "evil prince" where you constantly switch from acting like you truly are the evil homicidal maniac your reputation says you are and the next second you act all indignant towards her for not just taking your word for it that you're 100% completely trustworthy. Ya what could possibly go wrong with these 2 genius approaches to dating.

Thank you for sharing so openly — that’s a beautifully emotionally charged take, and I really appreciate the passionate Justice Seeker fire behind it.
