And before someone goes “I just don’t know what to say” “sometimes I just stare” staring off into space is one thing, staring AT someone is a whole other thing and we gotta be mindful of what we’re doing in public

Well yall made it clear you don’t want to be talked to. Should we just take it another step further and ignore your existence alltogether then?

why are you guys pretending you don’t understand how getting stared at would make someone uncomfortable

Getting stared at is a natural consequence we all accept when we step out into a public area. Sometimes people stare at me too. So what? It's a public area. Don't go out if you dont want to get stared at.

Well I never said that, I’d rather they approach. A lot of girls still do. Don’t let things online fool you

Yeah, guys aren’t gonna individually comb through each and every one of the 4 billion currently living women. The majority of yall don’t want to be approached so that principle is going to apply universally. Hope you enjoy the world yall made.

And I’m literally telling you how it is from the male perspective. If you and your clique like being approached that’s cool, most women don’t. Don’t get me wrong either it’s still plenty of guys who approach but on a large scale here in the west a massive migration has already taken place and as a result most men are living a resigned lifestyle when it comes to romantic relationships.

Listen I get it because it’s hard for women to pay attention to things that aren’t necessarily meant for them but as a man it can become very easy to just think you’re old news these days. Studies show more than 45% of gen Z men in America have never asked out a girl in their life. That happened because thousands of women made it clear they don’t want to be approached. Almost half of us took the hint and kept it pushing.

If you don’t have the confidence to try and possibly get rejected that’s your own fault. I choose to try rather than not. You’re also putting down women, yet simultaneously wanting their attention

To be completely honest I don’t care for women’s attention. And again I understand how this is hard for you to understand but everything I’ve said is something men in our age group can relate to to some degree. I don’t necessarily want it to look like I’m entirely placing the blame on women either I understand there’s such a big factor in that men are taking the high road and giving up as opposed to searching for the root of the problem. And I understand it’s hard to think from the perspective

of a man but imagine during your formative years (13-20 years old) all you saw online was men talking about how they didn’t need women anymore. You probably wouldn’t be very interested in men.

Perhaps it’s just a force of habit, generally speaking I don’t meet many people who can envision anything from a different perspective. I’m glad you broke the mold.

No I think they genuinely can’t fathom the idea. Or if they can they can fathom a very romanticized version of it where the entire community comes together to raise the baby and the baby goes on to cure cancer or something lmfao
