Resentment from other men motivated in part by my little success.

Well this is a pickle. As I wrote a couple of days ago I've gotten closer to a particular young woman at my school. Things seem to be fine with her and I so far. I gave her a gift this week of valentines and M accepted and publicly flirted with me.

 

Now it seems that certain of the men who have tried soooo hard to be me resent me.

 

I suppose this should have been expected. They don't say it's over my gradual little success getting closer to M. It is couched as my helping out with their studies as suddenly being unwelcome and condescending etc. They had asked me about their work, and when I looked at it and said yes I've done this problem then they started their rant. "How could you have ever done this problem." (They also said, without me bringing up the subject, that they find black history month condescending. :confused::rolleyes:)

 

So ladies and gentlemen what ought I do about this and how do you think this will effect my relations with M?

 

This must have been what Frederick Douglass felt like around the time he was courting his second wife (a white woman no less).

Does anyone have any input about this?

Other men bowing up at you in challenge is only a turn-on. It shows you're a threat to other men, which means you're working with something and they know it. As long as you continue to be the top guy in her eyes, you're good.
