    Women: Spend a decade telling men that approaching them in almost any social gathering besides a bar is creepy and offensive. Men: Listen to women. Women: Why are men not approaching us anymore. Men:You told us not to. Women: No we didn't, you just aren't brave enough.

When the world goes to hell and we see world war 3 and violence and struggle everywhere, you will see those same women begging men to save them and protect them. These selfish broads have never been disciplined. The modern man in the modern feminist nations have always given women everything and received very little in return.

    Bartender for 22 years. I've watched tens of thousands of strangers meet/pick up each other. For most women, the definition of a "creepy" guy is basically any man that they aren't immediately attracted to. Hot or rich guys can often get away with acting like a creep because they''re desired by women. There's a lot more of a chance of an average/below average guy getting called a creep for being nice than a hot guy would for actually acting like a creep. This is why guys think they have to have looks or money to even be able to have a chance with women. Because if you don't, the chances of you getting called "creepy" go WAY up.

    You have to accept that your son has lost already in the genetic competition. I am in my 30s as well and I never got lucky. The older you get most likely you realize that you are asexual or you are just naturally cast out from the gene pool due to natural selection. Well, he is 28 and most likely looks like a man now and I don't think you will find much women at this age group at a public library. Most likely he was talking to a high school girl unless you and he went to a college and university library. You have to accept your son as he is and accept that he most likely not be in a relationship no less a father. There are high schoolers and middle schoolers who are sexually active at a young age. If you are in your 20s and have not had a relationship or a sexual experience with a girl in this present modern day, it is best to say that as a man you have lost the genetic lottery.This was difficult on my parents as well, but I also accepted this fact of my reality that I will never get married, have a serious relationship or even a girlfriend, will never have sex unless I pay for it, and will never have children.

    Many women are finally realizing that their negative, hate filled, misandry has had an impact on men. The vast majority of men will no longer approach women to talk to or ask for a date. I saw a perfect example of this the other day. Whilst having a drink after work with a female friend, we both noticed a reasonably attractive guy, well dressed and groomed who had seen a girl he obviously wanted to talk to. You could see him struggling to overcome his reticence and nervousness, trying to “psych himself” to go and talk to her. After a few minutes you could tell he was ready, he asked the ladies in his group to make sure he looked presentable, he asked the guys to wish him well. Over he went to her and tried to introduce himself a start a conversation. All six of the women at the table immediately stopped what they were doing and openly started looking this poor guy up & down. Two started openly giggling and the the rest were smirking. The guy valiantly kept going, being polite, keeping respectful & not getting too close. By now, all the women where either laughing or just staring at him. He had taken all the rejection he could, apologized for interrupting and turned to walk away. As he did, the whole table erupted into gales of laughter, names were called out, the nicest of which was “loser” . He simply walked past his own table of friends and kept walking right out of the bar. A pleasant, well educated, well brought up guy being humiliated in front of everyone in the bar and then women wonder why men won’t talk to them anymore ? Really ?

    This is not new. Never go up alone and talk to a group of women. It is always asking for rejection. Too many social dynamics at play. The girl who is your target is afraid of looking easy to her friends, the ones not picked by the guy feel rejected or less attractive and get mean, her "best friend" in the group becomes super protective and blocks you, etc.. That is why you need a group of guys to go out with. That is where the entire term "wing man" started from. Even when I was younger twenty years ago without the internet, we knew not to do this. If the girl likes you, she breaks away from the group to talk to YOU or goes up to the bar hoping you will talk to her.

    Regarding rejection, I've been told repeatedly that: Men are used to rejection and it doesn't hurt them. They encounter rejection every day, it is no big deal, and rejection should not be a big deal. If rejection hurts the man, something is wrong with the man, confirming he should be rejected for having such low confidence and low self esteem. I've heard this consistently for 40+ years, in all walks of life; at weddings, parties, work, church, business conventions, you name it. Overall, it is like the setup scene in Tootsie. In this, Jessica Lange's character says she wants a man who is sexually aggressive. When the Dustin Hoffman character does exactly this, she is of course, insulted and repelled. That is a movie, but it mirrors real life. Women have fantasies about how they want to be approached, but in reality, they don't. The whole Mee Too movement has spiraled out of control, from don't have sexual harrassment, to anything is harassment and bad intent on the man. The default assumption is the man is bad.

    A woman asked if she could sit at my table in a Cafe. We both were there sitting reading a book. I just asked polity what she is reading, by God I was not hitting on her, was just interested because I am a literature buff since my childhood. In return she gave me a speech about to stay in my boundaries. I excused for having disturbed her, payed and left. My stay at this Cafe was ruined and I felt bad. Next time I came back there the waitress, I know her for a few years, told me that woman told her that I am a creepy guy and should not be permitted to have coffee there. I will stay away from women as far as it is possible in the future. We live in a world in which you can not even have an conversation about books between women and men. It makes this world more lonely and sad than it should be. But what can you do. Btw I am 56 and walk with a cane because of a nerve disease. Maybe this makes me a creep. Don't know.

    Women and men cannot be just friends. In civilized societies of the past they had very little interaction outside of family. This was by design. I rarely have interesting intellectual conversations with women. We simply don't have enough in common, and the interactions are ruled by what women think they can get from you and what they fear you are trying to get from them. I guarantee if you looked young, handsome and rich, you would have gotten a very different response. It is said that you can tell the character of a person by how they treat those with nothing to offer them. My experience is that women fail this test at a MUCH higher rate than men. I have almost never seen any of my friends act rudely to women BC they were ugly or had nothing to offer. I rarely ask a woman what she is reading BC I know I will probably find it very uninteresting, and I would probably tell on no if she asks to sit at my table.

    Has happened to me so many times! And it can happen anywhere and I've experienced it since high school, university and now at workplaces. For this reason I Always stalk someone that gives me that kind of attention on the Internet to find out about their lives. And when I think back, the only times I thought someone was flirting with me was when they had a boyfriend/husband and kids and thought it would be funny for me to try and get shut down. That's fking evil! And it's also very disrespectful to their partners, they will probably then go home and remind him of how popular they are. And if they realize they've been busted or that you are not going to approach them, they will hate you and try to hurt you, it's like you can't win in any way. It's really hard to even find someone who's just friendly for the sake of culture. I telling you, girls were so much nicer at early high school, after that they become manipulative bitches trying to control the world with terrorizing behavior.

    Back in the 50s, the time of our grandparents, it was not considered creepy if a man made a move on a girl, cold approach, or if he complimented her looks, or if he said "I'll follow you everywhere until you marry me", it was not considered creepy if he did that, the women at the time would find it Romantic.. so the difference between women today, and the women in our grandparents generation is that our grandparents had it way better, but as for today, women have made it very very difficult to make a move on them, and even if a guy makes a move and risks getting rejected, they wont accept a man who doesn't fit their list of unrealistic standards, they're not as feminine as they used to be, they're not as wife material as they used to be, not as family oriented, and not as ladylike, and if women tell men to not make the move then I'm sure women will now bare the responsibility to make the move right?.. of course not, because women can act all tough and masculine but are chicken ass scared when it comes to making the first move,

    Women genuinely seem disinterested even after you've made the approach and broken the ice. The conversation is usually one-sided and its all just really draining after youve heard "no" in just about every way imaginable. For that reason I've decided to throw in the towel. Honestly when i see attractive women in public i avoid even looking at them. Dating just isn't "fun" as a guy, not for me at least. Just a bunch of anxiety followed by one sh!t test after another. I've learned to love my own company and enjoy other things while being single. There's better things to do with life that don't involve feeling like you're walking a tightrope for a woman's approval.

    All of those. In fact, I had it happen, and it is a legal hellhole. The reason is, where I live, any woman can make any accusation (s harassment/molestation wise) and all it has to be is "an acceptable explanation of the situation" (aka if she says it, that is how it is). However, when a man has to defend himself, it must _be proven to be not true._ Now remember, you cannot prove a negative, and in my case I had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt I did not _think_ it because she felt unsafe because I thought it. An example of a listen and believe law. No more regular employment for me, not for the last decade. But even a woman being brash and brushing past you can result in a court case: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fn17mdCRgpeyirQ.html Imagine the jury saying off you go. A real risk.

One of the girls looked like she was repulsed by thr fact I even approached her. The one that confused me the most was when this girl came up to my friend and invited us to hang with her and her friend. The girl that came up to him was obviously there for my friend but was all over the both of us. I mean it was kinda wild. I was trying to talk to another girl with my buddy there and she was all over me and him. Now, I'm not complaining or nothing but close to the end of the night, she was standing next to me and was mad close and was putting her hands on my shoulder and arm n shit. I went to adjust myself and bumped her hip n she was all like "DONT FLIRT WITH ME". I'm just so confused man. It's like she was touching and feeling all over me and my friend. I means she danced all over my friend n everything. She was in it frfr, again, no complaining lol. I just dont understand how I was flirting. Idk.

    I'm 71 and gave up 30 years ago. I was a male model and successful actor in local theatre often getting write ups in the paper. I was a blond, blue eyed Southern California surfer. I didn't have squat for money but they didn't know that, hahaha. I was also an Ivy League graduate, from a family with, shall we say, significant resources, although I didn't ever rely on, or seek that, or even think about it. In my my mind I was just another guy trying my best to get somewhere in my profession. But this was California, and no one knew any of that either and wouldn't have cared. The point is, I was what they call now high-value, even if I didn't myself think so in those days. I was also extremely shy and a complete introvert. But I tried to overcome it. the modeling and acting came from my attempt to grow past it and helped. Nevertheless, my self esteem was destroyed by what I would experience there, as you'll see. Even in the prime of my youth, in the late 70s, I seldom approached women because I never got a look or a smile or a flirtatious sign. Instead I got the most angry, mean looks of hate and revulsion. Like a combination of about to throw up or scream for a cop. Everywhere, passing on the street, in the grocery store, at social gatherings, and worst of all in the clubs. That cut into my soul and hurt so much. It wears on you. Over and over and over, what is reflected back to you from the women in the world is that you are scum, a hideous, dangerous monster. It's not easy to maintain any level of self confidence receiving that endlessly day after day. I always thought it was me. Why did they hate me, they don't even know me? It was actually somewhat of a relief when I heard it wasn't just me, and it even had a name, Resting Bitch Face. I had often felt it was me that caused it, or my subconscious psychological filters that made me see it that way. Even in bars, dance clubs, so called pickup scenes, that's all I saw, aimed at me. I rarely, almost never, approached them at all. Anywhere. I found it not only mean, but off putting. Why would I ever want to spend time with a woman with that much visible anger, which read as hatred and fear of men. It read as the non-verbal message: "get the hell away from me!"? But still it hurt deeply and compounded over and over... If I got my courage up and just went for it, crossed the 1000 mile wide dance floor in front of the whole crowd, and asked someone to dance, almost always rejection. Occasionally they were just not up for dancing at the moment, and that was clear, no harm no foul, but more often she'd slash me with some vicious cutting remark, and she and her friends would laugh. If I stuck around, brushing it off, which was tough, I'd see them talking to other people in the club, glancing at me, and then snickering. This just snowballed and snowballed. This is already way too long, but I got carried away setting the scene, and I'm also a writer. I'll try to wrap up quickly. By the time I hit 40, I was having deep depressions, suicidal ideation, and was falling apart. Then I got evicted during the housing boom, as they wanted to cut the house I rented into condos. My 95 year old grandmother was living alone back east and had a fall, so I gave up my California surfer dream and acting dream and went back and lived with her. I never even tried to go out again and meet local people. When she passed a year later, I bought a little cabin in the country and I've been here alone for 30 years now. I'm happy but lack touch and kindness. I don't get lonely surprisingly, but I do miss companionship and just someone to talk to. I don't know why or how I came across this video, and others like it, popped up in my suggestions, but these algorithms somehow can read minds. LOL It's tough for all of us. Always has been and got way worse when the *ahem, wink wink, nudge, nudge* "cultural shift" that started in the early 70s consumed the women in my generation, then spread across the world, just as I was coming of age seeking dates. It just gets more and more extreme. Now we're toxic and all in on the patriarchy, controlling and oppressing women because we look down on them as inferior and believe we are "entitled" to their attention and respect, and of course their submission and sexual favors on command. I just turned 71. I'm now very 'financial secure' due to my own earnings saved by 25 years of solo living, a low cost lifestyle, and a surprisingly large inheritance. l can go and live anywhere and buy anything I want. I have no interest in material possessions though. I could provide for a wife, and children and be a full time partner and father. But all I want is someone who will be kind to me. To notice me, to appreciate me. Just to smile at me. Not sneer at me like I'm a creep. Old white straight men are the most reviled and despised and blamed demographic on the planet. Yet we're supposed to have a lock on all the power, and privileges and rule the world. So Courtney, do you think I should get myself out there again and just try? (p.s. Courtney, I really appreciate your videos and understanding, immensely. I'm not trying to be snarky, just realistic. It meant everything to come across these the past few days and gives me hope. Thank you so much.)

    Here's a story of wicked karma, and it's a tale that shows why people need to be careful what they post online. A good buddy of mine was at a locally popular restaurant and approached a really attractive woman. He was polite and joked a bit, he did nothing creepy. She was pretty stand-offish and eventually got rather negative toward him, so he backed off. Well, fast forward a few days, this lady posted a video online talking about being at this restaurant and talking about "this really creepy guy" while getting film shots of him from a distance. Pretty terrible. Now, this guy is a long time best friend of one of the people that own the restaurant, and the people who own the place own about half the commercial property in that city. They've got wealth and influence. Here's how this went down. The owners took this personally. They took this girl to court and sued her on the basis she was publicly defaming their restaurant patrons. I haven't heard how it all settled, but I did hear she was fired from her job due to absences for having to be in court. It just makes me think of that short video a girl posted in a gym filming "creepy guys" which resulted in her gym membership being revoked.

    Actual conversation between 2 female friends and me. A guy asked one of them out, and she turned him down. He took it and moved on. Then a few weeks later, he asked the other friend out. She had heard that the 1st one had turned him down and rejected him too. Then, in front of me, they laughed heartily over how pathetic this guy was; perhaps he was getting rejected by every girl in the neighborhood and expected me to join in mocking him. I was so annoyed with both of them. It was a real eye-opener. So no, just "shooting your shot" without worrying about the consequences is not good advice. You risk being labeled a creep and for that word to spread. Your reputation is everything, and once you're labeled a creep, that sticks forever. Even good, sensible women will turn you down after that. Men get one shot, and our reputations are getting more vulnerable by the day.

    I suspect you may be drawing some wrong conclusions here. It may be that the 2nd girl turned him down because her friend did because she didn't want to accept a "reject", but on the other hand, your friend's style may need a bit more polish. What do you think? What do you think would happen if you invited your male friend to come along some time when you planned to meet up with the two girls? Do you think he could chat up the 2nd girl and warm her up enough so that when he called her later, he could get a yes, or do you think his chops are really not good enough to make her think she would have a good time? Being turned down by a girl does not mean that none of her friends will accept you. It really boils down to what you have to offer more than anything else..

    Yes, I am a failure on all levels. I picked the wrong major. I failed at engaging in crucial conversations. I burned out of civil engineering at the age of 32 after years of nightime chest pains, not being able to look at myself in the mirror, and having nerveous breakdowns by afternoons. I got tired of pretending to be someone I was not. I am now 57 and worked on low level, near minimum wage jobs since I resigned from engineering. So far, I have interacted with only five women during my life and each one ghosted me after a relative short time. I have a congenital severe hearing loss from birth. I never really had any father figure, except for a cool trombone instructor (I ended my university years with two credits short of a minor in music). I am a square peg in a round hole. Clearly, I have nothing to offer any woman, so I do not waste any of their time by putting myself on the "dating" chopping block. Sigh. I live in isolation and can easily imagine myself being thrown out onto the street to join many other useless, invisible homeless men.

    I'm glad you mentioned the whole thing with disabilities, because I have High-Functioning Autism. Before I was diagnosed, people used to label me as rude, selfish, lazy and a plethora of other terms because I'd misread social cues or be so absorbed in my own little world that I didn't understand that certain things weren't appropriate. Even though I've had a tremendous amount of therapy and made improvements since then, the thing about Autism is that you will always be prone to misinterpreting certain things. Given how sensitive the world has become, it's even more nerve-wracking as a person with Autism to interact with the opposite sex because one misunderstanding could land me in trouble.

He takes her advice, sees a woman that he is attracted to in a Costco. He makes some kind of small talk and asks her out. Moments later, he was escorted out by security. It was funny at the time listening to him explain what happened, but it's stuff like this that men are so easily labeled as creepy. My advice.. Do not man up!. Bad advice that was offered from a woman.

    Courtney, firstly, thank you for bringing this up and understanding the blokes. Though, I'd like to provide another reason, or at least my reason, why I don't approach anymore. I don't mind rejection, in fact I started appreciating those people who respectfully told me they're not interested. Though the whole being called creepy, or being roasted on TikTok is another, but my major reason is a repeat incident. Let me explain, I managed somehow to land two ex-girlfriends, that I genuinely loved. First one dumped me after a week, second one after a few months, and then followed by a long string of ghostings. A few of them straight up ghosted me, before our date began. My fear is being tricked into falsely feeling in loved, because I never understood the concept. I thought I did, but I guess I haven't read into it enough, or perhaps it never existed. I'm the type of guy, who took relationships serious, but everyone I've dated never did. Maybe it's the time I was born in, or perhaps it's the country I was cursed to live in (America), but I always desired a long term and romantic relationship. I learned such a concept doesn't exist. So, in a way, I thank my ex-girlfriends for freeing me from this false pursuit.

    I actually want to share an experience of my own. It's a bit unique from what everyone else is sharing. I was exercising in my University Gym and hitting the heavy bag, and a young woman approached me. She did not say anything but rather just looked at me for a moment, and I smiled and asked if she wanted to use the bag herself. She said yes, but mostly just kept talking to me. I personally like conversations with people and did not mind. However, I was confused, believing she wanted to use the bag and not talk. I asked again if she wanted to use it as I was going to do some stretching, and she responded yes, but instead, I just lazily hit it once or twice. It eventually became obvious she just wanted to speak to me, which, though flattered, I was mostly trying to do my own thing. She kept talking to me, and I engaged in conversation with her, but was kind of taken aback since this was the first time I have been approached while at the gym. She was nice but just a bit awkward, but I totally understood that that happens. She walked with me while the gym was closing, and I stated I had to go to the locker rooms and told her it was nice speaking with her. I got my things and spent about 10 mins in there before walking out. She was standing outside near the locker rooms, and I was somewhat taken aback. When I walked near her, I said in an awkward, hushed tone, "Hey again" and she immediately answered "Can I have your number so we can talk in the future?" At that point, it immediately became apparent she was just nervous and did not know how to really approach someone. I responded sure but really because it was so out of the blue. Afterwards, she texted me at 7 am the next day saying it was nice speaking to me but I was in bed sleeping and those texts woke me up. The reason I mentioned this story was because it was very weird experiencing this but that is all it was for me. It's just awkward and weird. I didn't think the girl was creepy or weird herself. She tried to put herself out there and I really admired that but she didn't do so very well which happens sometimes. I COULD NOT even begin to imagine how bad it would be if roles were reversed. The guy would be labeled as very creepy and a stalker which I get but I think what sometimes woman forget is that some guys, and people in general, aren't so socially skilled and had no intention in making the other party uncomfortable. Long story I know, thanks for reading.

    In reply to a couple of similar points that Courtney made, which are all well taken. First, being seen as "creepy" or some very negative reaction is a real deterrent to not only approaching a girl but also making a move physically after a number of dates. Many times, I can sense when a girl wants me to initiate a kiss or a touch, but not always or it can be unclear how far she wants you to go. I have had situations where I can tell and so I take them in my arms and kiss them and we go as far as she desires, which is clear. On the other hand, I have had situations where I don't sense any sexual interest and then the girl does something odd such as lunge at me or lie down on the floor in front of me. I have been so taken off-guard by these antics that I have frozen. This type of lack of clarity came up in one particular case that still haunts me. I was in a very serious relationship where I had very strong romantic feelings for the girl. We would kiss some but that was about it. Then one night she asked me to spend the night after a late night date. I had to drive about 70 miles to get back to where I lived at the time and so that was the pretext of her inviting me to spend the night at her house. We kissed a little on the couch but it did not progress, as usual. She then showed me to the spare bedroom and she gave me a toothbrush and some toothpaste. I watched her carefully but did not sense anything sexual off of her. Even though I had strong feelings for her, I sensed something was not quite on an even keel with her. I knew that she liked me but there was something behind the scene that I could feel was interfering with her opening up to me more. In fact, she had not opened up to me at all in terms of her past or her family or much of anything. Usually, a girl whom I am dating goes into a lot of depth and detail with me by this time in a relationship. I later found out that she came from an extremely wealthy family. When I discovered that, I could see one reason for her being hesitant to disclose her family background with a man until she could fully trust him over an extended time. But there was more that I was sensing. The next morning when I got up, she greeted me in a friendly way and we sat on the couch snuggled up together before she fixed us something to eat. After a few minutes, she asked me why I did not enter her bedroom naked and jump into bed with her and make love to her. I was shocked out of my mind by her looking into my eyes and demanding to know why I did not push myself into her bedroom uninvited. I said point blank, "If I had any indication that is what you wanted, I would have done that very thing, but I did not get any hints from you to do any such a thing. I had thought of it and would have liked to join you in bed, but I was afraid of the possibility of you starting to scream when you saw me aroused and naked coming at you and then you calling the police." She smiled and we went onto something else. Then she showed me some pictures in an album taken while she was in college. This girl had an edge to her personality. She admired the character of Ann Kelsey on L.A. Law and acted a lot like her, sort of with a constant chip on her shoulder. When I saw one photo with her looking off into the distance, I said, "You look sensitive in that picture." She turned to me and said with anger in her voice, "Yeah, I used to be that way and then I found out that is not the way to be!!!" She closed up the album and stormed into the next room. When she came back, she said," Chris, I am not going to to cater to you!" in a very harsh and hostile tone. She went ahead and fixed us hamburgers but then during the entire meal, she just glared at me as if she hated me and repeated the same refrain, "Chris, I am not going to cater to you!!!" I became totally disoriented. She said at the end of the meal that she had to go to work, which she had already told me before this outburst. She repeated the refrain again as we walked out the door and she said it again as I got into my car. I never saw her again. That broke my heart, but I was not shocked. She had told me earlier that she had exploded on the guy whom she was dating just before me. He was a Navy flyer and had made a comment in jest about her less than perfect eyesight (I knew another guy previously who wanted to be a pilot and he was obsessed with strengthening his eyesight because at that time the military would not take men to train with less than 20/20 vision, so perfect eyesight is something constantly on pilots' minds and which they are anxious about). She told me that when he said that, she jumped off the couch and demanded that he leave immediately. That is when she turned to me. But then I got the same treatment a few months later from her. I suspect that I had accidentally stumbled into reminding her of another young man who had exploited her and hurt her deeply when she was in college, and she was exploding in anger toward this pilot and me with her real target being a jerk in her past. That residual anger is what I was sensing earlier and so guarded myself when being with her. I am afraid with the Sexual Revolution and casual dating, this sort of thing lies behind the current trend of women's cloistering themselves from men and over-reacting when men approach them or do something that reminds them of being taken advantage of sexually. This problem of damaged women is epidemic and is at the root of the difficulties that sincere men face in approaching women. It is rational for men to be extremely careful in how they do approach an attractive girl. This same problem came up in my marriage when my wife believed I was committing adultery, which I did not, every time I was a few minutes later than she had expected me to arrive home. Her first husband was a serial adulterer and his having a child with another woman ended my wife's marriage to him. She kept re-living that hurt with me even though I never gave her any rational basis for her thinking that I was not faithful to her.

    the trick is to be a devil-may-care type guy full of overconfidence and to be shameless. They talk to women because they aren't worrying about a negative outcome or rejection and they wouldn't feel embarassed. It's just fun for them to talk to strangers. If someone is rude to them or ignores them they'll be like "whatever" and go talk to someone else, or "f--- that b----" and it won't even break their stride, not even a dent in their ironclad confidence. People who are anxious, sensitive worriers with negative rumination just aren't made for social interactions with strangers. We need the circumstances to all line up perfectly for us to even try. Even a basic friendly conversation of Hi how are you? can be a struggle. Going beyond that to flirt, ask personal questions, get a number, ask for a date often won't even occur to this type of person because they'll feel like a deer in the headlights in the moment. Then when we finally try and it doesn't go our way we feel like failures and it makes us want to try even less. The negative memory will replay endlessly in our heads reinforcing the fear and hopelessness. I was in my thirties the first time I asked a girl for her number. This was after she A) tried to talk to me and I didn't reply B) had a group conversation with her and other people where she replied directly to me multiple times C) had a one on one conversation where I had her laughing her @ss off and we were gazing into each others eyes smiling. At that point I'd finally had enough signals to ask her if I could help her bring her things to her car, and then as she drove me to where I was parked I asked if I could get her number and she said yes. All the stars had to align perfectly for that to even happen. That's a slow day for a confident, social extrovert, something they do all the time and it's as natural as breathing. All that practice and experience just breeds more confidence. Whereas the shy sensitive introvert doesn't get much practice and their social skills atrophy.

    I can testify that is not true. I was a male model and successful actor in local theatre often getting write ups in the paper. I was a blond, blue eyed Southern California surfer. I didn't have squat for money but they didn't know that, hahaha. I was also an Ivy League graduate, from a family with, shall we say, significant resources, although I didn't ever rely on or seek that or even think about it. In my my mind I was just another guy trying my best to get somewhere in my profession. But this was California, and no one knew that either and wouldn't have cared. The point is, I was what they call now high-value, even if I didn't myself think so in those days. I was also extremely shy and a complete introvert. But I tried to overcome it. the modeling and acting came from my attempt to grow past it and helped. My self esteem was destroyed by what I would experience there, as you'll see. I seldom approached women because I never got a look or a smile or a flirtatious sign. Instead I got the most angry, mean looks of hate and revulsion. Like a combination of about to throw up or scream for a cop. Everywhere, passing on the street, in the grocery store, at social gatherings, and worst of all in the clubs. That cut into my soul and hurt so much. If I got my courage up and just went for it, crossed the 1000 mile wide dance floor in front of the whole crowd, and asked someone to dance, got nothing but rejection. Occasionally they were just not up for dancing at the moment, and that was clear, no harm no foul, but more often she'd slash me with some vicious cutting remark, and she and her friends would laugh. If I stuck around, brushing it off, which was tough, I'd see them talking to other people in the club, glancing at me, and then snickering. This just snowballed and snowballed. This is already way to long, but I got carried away setting the scene, and I'm also a writer. I'll try to wrap up quickly. By the time I hit 40, I was having deep depressions, suicidal ideation, and was falling apart. Then I got evicted during the housing boom, as they wanted to cut the house I rented into condos. My 95 year old grandmother was living alone back east and had a fall, so I gave up my California surfer dream and acting dream and went back and lived with her. I never even tried to go out again and meet local people. When she passed a year later, I bought a little cabin in the country and I've been here alone for 30 years now. I'm happy but lack touch and kindness. I don't get lonely surprisingly, but I do miss companionship and just someone to talk to. I don't know why or how I came across this video and others like it popped up in my suggestions, but these algorithms somehow can read minds. LOL It's tough for all of us. Always has been and got way worse when the *ahem, wink wink, nudge, nudge* "cultural shift" that started in the early 70s consumed the women in my generation, then spread across the world, just as I was coming of age seeking dates. It just gets more and more extreme. Now we're toxic and all cohorts of the patriarchy controlling and oppressing women because we look down on them. I just turned 71. I'm now very 'financial secure' due to my own earnings saved by 25 years of solo living, a low cost lifestyle, and a surprisingly large inheritance. l can go and live anywhere and buy anything I want. I have no interest in material possessions though. All I want is someone who will be kind to me. Old white straight men are the most reviled and despised and blamed demographic on the planet. Yet we're supposed to have a lock on all the power, and privileges and rule the world. Do you think I should get myself out there again and just try? No. F***ing. Way. (sorry this ran so long, I guess I needed to tell my story. This channel and others like it seem like a place I can finally tell it without being attacked as a misogynist, sexist, whiner. etc. I do wish I could post my thoughts somewhere where other men, and sympathetic women like Courtney, can read them other than comments on a video.)

    I'm 60 and single dad. I don't date (too busy raising kids, which is infinitely more important) and so the women in my circles (professionally and socially) consider me safe, which is correct. Here's the clincher! Because I'm considered "safe" I've been privy to COUNTLESS stories and accounts by women (mostly 20's, 30s') about how they "destroyed" a guy for approaching them. The stories are accompanied by much laughter and a good bit of gloating. Mind you, these stories aren't about groping men, or men being "creepy" in the ways you note in this video. Instead, these men were "destroyed", "humiliated" or "totally dissed" because these women just didn't want to talk to them because they weren't good looking, were too old, too young, tooo......something. It would seem women today feel it is completely within their rights to use a scorched earth policy against men, rather than be polite, and it seems much of it is for entertainment purposes. Some of them have asked me my opinion, to wit I have answered, "it sounds to me like you might need to learn some manners" or "Possibly you could have stretched a little and just said, something like 'thanks but I'm not interested'. I'm then told that I'm "old fashioned", "too sensitive" or I'm just sticking up for the guy because I'm a guy. Frankly, I can see why men don't approach women and I find it really funny that women seem so mystified by it.

    It comes with hypocrisy. Women who call men creepy are creepy themselves. This is the reason I'm making my daughter clean her bedroom, make her bed, and fold her clothes. I've been in women's homes that are a complete disaster, these were pretty women. They don't hygiene either. Tampons over the floor, towel with blood stain period on it. I've been rejected before and eventually knew what I've been rejected by. Eventually, you learn to avoid these kind of women in the beginning. They have issues and emotional baggage. You see it in their eyes, facial expressions, and their walk to avoid them.

After I was casted away all these years by women, I learned to enjoy the silence and peace that came with loneliness. I am to a point in life that I am now set in my own ways. I do not hate women nor do I have fear of rejection. I just do not see an outcome in my life where I could reasonably negotiate giving away my peaceful life for someone else.

    honestly i find groups of girls to be easier to approach because they feel more safe having their group there to support them so i'm not as big of a threat to them if i would choose to approach, that and either they are a group of single of women or a group non-single women or they are a mixed bag, sure i might get rejected by the group overall but it's also bigger numbers so there's also a bigger chance that someone out of that group is into me, lots of positives and one negative. like if the majority don't like me then they are just gonna reject me but the ones who didn't want to reject me might actually look me up after when they cut themselves loose from that group for a moment. and if the majority of that group accepts me then i kinda can go for the one i feel most connected with and try my luck and if not they might steer me into the one that actually likes me in the group so there's that. but it's difficult finding a group of women that you generally feel that most of them you wouldn't mind talking to. as for approaching a lone woman, i think it's really difficult because she's gonna be a bit defensive no matter what, and it's really a shot in the dark in terms of chances and it gets very personal very quickly because she feels put on the spot as the woman you are specifically talking to, so you are putting yourself in a very do or die spot, the only way i think to get over this type of thought is to approach several women maybe not in a group but you have someone else right after you know you might introduce yourself to if the one you are approaching first doesn't go well.

    So, here’s a story about something that happened to me I my early 20s (I’m 33 now). I was studying at University and was in my final year. My course was pretty strange as the first 2 years were in an entirely different city from where my University was, so I had to travel there 2-3 times a week. I had made a bunch of friends with people in my class and people outside of that group too in that city. When it came to my final year, the course was now at my actual university but, most people I had made friends with decided to finish their course elsewhere because of the travelling or other reasons, so by the time my final year started, for the most part, the number of friends had essentially reset to zero, which kinda sucks when doing a film course. In my photography class, there was a girl who was really shy who I ended up being friends with, or so I thought she was. For the record, I did not like this girl as any more than friends. On top of the fact that I thought getting into relationship would be a terrible idea since I was so close to the finish line of Uni life, I also didn’t find her attractive. At all. I added her on Facebook as for most of you boomers like me would know, back in the late 2000s/ early 2010s was pretty much the best way to talk to someone over the internet and I also didn’t have a phone that could use Facebook at the time either. Not too long after we started speaking, she invited me to her house and a few other people that I didn’t know at the time too, just to get to know us all more and hang out. From then on, there were a few times that she didn’t turn up to class, so walking on the way home from uni, I’d pass by her house, and did this about 3 times within the span of 3months just to see how she was (we both liked Kingdom Hearts and nobody I knew at the time really did, so I was fond of her because of the mutual interest) but didn’t see her all that much after that. About a year later, I’m out with some of her former housemates who kept making snide remarks about whether she was going to be somewhere that we were going. Super confused, I asked why they kept bringing her up when I didn’t bring her up at all or initiate a conversation involving her. I find out that She told all of her housemates and other people we both knew that I was “stalking” her and/or had a crush on her. Considering that I knew her on a surface level, I found that to be incredibly shocking as I didn’t think I did anything like that that would give that impression. So, I texted her (I had her phone number by then) asking her why she would do such a thing? I was absolutely fuming, obviously. She replied back saying she had a previous situation that she believed that and mine and that were similar, but apologised because she clearly got it wrong. It of course, led to me having trust issues with others and even approaching women on even a friendly level for a very long time as she essentially poisoned the well for attention and mistaking my kindness for weakness, thought I was an easy target. Thing is, I would end the story there, but unfortunately, things got worse. She was living with some of my friends I met at uni and despite me barely interacting with her, she attempted to poison the well with them too by telling them the same stuff she told her previous housemates. I only knew she was still doing it because me and my best friend worked at the same workplace and he randomly asked me about it one day, “so, what happened between you and Kelly?” And I had that moment of “ahhhh shit, here we go again!” Of course having to explain why she was completely out of order. So, she wasn’t sorry, about any of it. At all. And she’d make an effort to stay out of my way when I came round to visit or would be a no show to any parties the had just to avoid me. Sickening and incredibly immature behaviour when I think back on it, as it was all so unnecessary. I never once treated her badly or did anything to her, not to mention that she herself never brought it up to me as any concern. All I was trying to do was make friends, and I was essentially shit talked about for even trying but worse, completely behind my back in an attempt to assassinate my character. I’m aware that not all women are like this, but it was a real knock to my confidence considering I was pretty shy before starting uni, coming out of my shell then feeling the need to go back in it. A very long post and appreciate anyone who fancied reading it.

And there's peace, freedom, happiness. I don't think you women fully understand yet what you did and are still doing. You don't seem to realize that a man can learn to be more than fine without you. Now you have to proof why we should want to deal with you. I don't think you fully realize how hard you have made it for yourselves. You're going to have to step up big time. We don't need you, but you do need us.

She was on the phone and her boyfriend was in another aisle, but it was a genuine harmless approach by him. She declined, he walked away and she started crying and telling me that I should never approach women in a Target. She didn't explain why, but was adamant that I shouldn't do it. I have been afraid to talk to women in any setting every since.

    That sucks, brother, I know things like that can scar you and you will be afraid to do something wrong. To me it sounds like your friend may have had something else going on that caused her to interpret the approach in a much worse way, or that the approach itself was actually less friendly than it appeared. Regardless, the important thing is to aknowledge that their location had nothing to do with the quality of the approach, as a supermarket can be a great place for that. A woman in her 70's who lives in my apartment building once told me, with a big smile, of a time she was approached while buying groceries. The point is, try and tell yourself that it was either a problem of hers or the guy involved, and that an unfortunate approach like that doesn't mean EVERY approach ever is inherently wrong. Best of luck, brother ❤️

    Bro, don't make life changing decisions on a single event like that. Some women, like some guys, are peckerheads and when they do something dumb, it should be water off a duck's back as far as you're concerned. You should continue to be a considerate guy, just next time be sure to ask if she would like help first. If she says no, and if she says no in a graceless way, just realize that you are a nice guy and you are a better man for it. The human race is deeply flawed, but that does not mean that you have to be. You can be better than that, and your life will be better for it. Some fools think that being nice is the same as being weak. This is not at all necessarily the case. You can be basically a nice guy, but still be strong and self-confident. It doesn't mean you have to fawn over anyone.

    One of my former coworkers got suspended and forcibly transferred to another department because the younger woman in his department reported him for "being creepy" because he was overly helpful with her and super talkative. He was like that with everyone, including myself, and everyone knew that it was just his personality type. But the management still punished him because she demanded it. I had several other coworkers that were suspended or fired for similar situations. One gal at work managed to get three of my coworkers fired, all for the same allegations. Each time, it was just a dude talking with her and interacting with the her like anyone else and not walking on eggshells. Made my decision to stay single a lot easier. Less chance of losing my job.

    I have known where the exact opposite happened. A couple of dudes in the head office of a Fortune 500 company were called to HR because a young lady at their office reported that the guy was 'anti social'. Essentially that the guy was not making small talk with her and that this was making her uncomfortable [this happened with two guys at two different times, with the same lady reporting them both]. Both of the men were fantastic team members and very good at their job. They just wanted to keep away from this lady unless warranted for work, as she was a known trouble maker. She has been sent several times by the company for 'anger management' training. Ironically she reported the first guy after she repeatedly tried to get the guy to take her out for coffee and he politely refused [The guy is good looking, takes good care of his fitness]. When her attempts to get him to taker her out failed, unbelievably on a weekend she reached the approximate vicinity where she knew this guy lived in a luxurious condo building and gave him a call saying: 'Hey I am not far from where I know you live. HOw about us spending the day together, grabbing a brunch and later going to xyz concert'. He was pretty rattled and politely refused her request to meet him. He kept a safe distance from her at work after this and made any interaction with her strictly confined to work/ business. Not long thereafter she reported him to HR. He was immediately called and given a talking to about improving his behavior so that young ladies in office don't feel uncomfortable of threatened. He narrated his side of the story. He was still counselled to make small talk with her so she is made more comfortable. He eventually left the job. The exact same thing was repeated with another guy. He too left the place worried that some other allegation would be made against him and that HR and everyone will support the lady. So you would wonder what happend to that lady, right? Her reputation within the office grew to the point that people started calling her the 'Office psycho'. Nonetheless, despite further 'Anger management sessions' that the company made her go through, they have not only retained her, but have actually promoted her several times. Last I checked she went on to become a manager, senior manager and now has an ever more impressive title - almost at par with a 'Director'! And this is a company that most people worldwide are fully aware of. And here is the kicker. While this is how this globally well known company dealt with her, there was another incident where a guy who also had 'anger related issues' acted up. This guy was not happy that a team did not meeet an important goal and also didnt inform the higher ups that the deadline would be missed. So he came down to the team's office and spoke to everyone that such an incident shall not be tolerated and he will come down heavily on the team if this was repeated. What happened? He got reported to HR. A few young ladies reported to HR that they are very worried what would happen given his 'threats'. The 'man' was told immediately that the entire FLOOR where this team was located, that entire floor [It is a huge building with several hundred people working on that floor], but he was told that he is banned from ever entering that floor. A week later he was fired! Ironically, the tantrums thrown by that other woman with the anger management issues, were and are much worse, much frequent and crazy than what that other guy did ONCE. He was let go soon. She? Nothing happens to her. The constant explanation given about her is: 'Hey, Miss X? You all know about Miss X right? Miss X is just being Miss X, folks. Dont' take it too seriously'

    Hi Courtney. I come from a peaceful place in regards to a reply. I don't hate women and not do I treat them badly. I am a good hearted guy that's been used and abused over the years with the few ladies I've dated. I'm always in it for the long haul and never been a one night guy. Ever... I'm very Sigma/alpha and I don't play games with people's heart and I cannot think of anything lower to demoralise a persons heart n soul. I am no stranger to think there are ignorant people out there that get off on destroying good people and there morals n beliefs as well. So from a good guys point of view.... I don't play games. If you do you will be by yourself and single again. I'm to busy in my life to date idiots that get off on destroying people's heart n soul. Genuine people. I believe that as we progress into the modern age that men and women will be in avoidance to each other. More and more men particularly in the elder age are walking away from romance as the hole idea of it falls into the TOO HARD BASKET and not worth the pain and anguish and the loss of someones vulnerability to be exposed and disgraced. This goes for both sides and I know women of today are victimised in every way these days as well, so it seems that we are just hurting each other time and time again. Im happy in myself, I suffer from depression and anxiety like many others and the only way to live a non regretful life is too not care what anyone else's thinks of you. You want to ask a person out on a date. Go and ask. You don't ask you don't get. Read a women. If they like you a man doesnt have to try, the getting to know each other will flow or not. Being inappropriate is not rocket science. A guy knows full well when he is stepping out of bounds and you don't touch unless you are guiding someone or of the way and even than you do it in such a way that's not invading. Women and men need to go back to the old days. Men were gents. And Women were ladies. Respect for each other was mutual in every way. Nowadays.... I see things that I just shake my head at. I'm happy being and following the ol school ways. If the ladies think I'm old fashioned and don't like being treated as such than this lady is obviously not for me. Simple...... Thank you for the reply... I like watching some of your videos as they are hitting the spot in today's world of men and women. I also congratulate you on having the gusto to bring to light information about both genders that a lot of us don't wish to know about our selves. It's good to know these things for those that want to better themselves and improve themself for their own satisfaction. How to become a Gent is by no means easy for today's young and younger generation, however like any relationship..... It takes work and mistakes and you learn and try not to go down the same path again. Anyone that is doing much the same as me I wish them all the best.... And good on you for seeing through the bullshit of today social standards and acceptance.... Modern world is going down a dark path and and we all know what happens when you hit rock bottom....

Fighting, bickering over silly shit, accepting things that we shouldn't because of love or so called love... Things like this..... To hard and not right on both sides of the fence. We are just hurting each other and giving each other more trauma and psychological issues. When you stand back and take a moment to reflect the history. Ask yourself. Knowing what I know now....... Would I date that person or kind of person again.... I can tell you I'm no fan..... I've had enough.... A shame I am single and the hurt of seeing and hearing my parents dejection of not having any grand kids running around the house to yell nanny and poppy etc..... It's hard to take and it never gets any easier but having to accept a large lump down your throat and get on with life by yourself has to be done and I'm all about ease of life. So I've let go now. Take every day as it comes. Enjoy the positives in your life and love your mates is what I do to accommodate the loss of not having a loved one to cosy up too... Harsh I know.

    I am SO glad you brought this up. I think some women's addictions to social media and the ensuing exposure to so many real stories about guys being creepy has whipped them up into paranoia or even thinking that they can get their 15 minutes of social media glory about putting dudes on blast who approach them. I do see female friends blasting out DM screenshots and a lot of these guys ARE creepy and deserve it, but some of them seem so innocent to me and I feel bad for the guys. "Ugh another compliment in my DMs" when it's just a guy saying he liked her jacket or something. OKAY we get it- you think you're hot. As for real-life approaches, a rejection to me used to be of a polite variety. You just took the hint and moved on. But lately I have noticed (and this could even be from joking with someone at a bar or remarking about something in order to start a conversation) that if the girl is with her friends I will get much more rude reactions. Last week at a bar I had a girl give me this dramatic silent sour face when I made joke about the song that had just come up. Then 15 minutes later she and her friends (who weren't even that attractive) just bumrushed this group of 6' 4" guys who wanted nothing to do with them. They had these huge in-love smiles on their faces and wouldn't even take the rejection from the guys. These 5/10 girls are going all-in just for a few minutes of attention from 9/10 guys who have little interest in them. I think I know where these girls will be in 10 years- on Reddit crying about how they can't get a man or how they are repulsed by and fixing to divorce their mid-range accountant husbands. The game now is so messed up and anything beyond a lukewarm attempt at conversating now, I am backing off completely and only engaging with women who approach me. It sounds so bitter, and I am not a bitter guy. I've been with a LOT of women, I've gotten mine, so I feel for the young guys way more. The game just isn't fun anymore.

At some point I was at my friend's place and he was skyping his girlfriend. They asked me if I had a crush on any girls and I said yes, but didn't reveal who it was. They pestered me until I told them who it was, and then said things like "Aw, that's cute. You should ask her out". Literally the next morning as I'm putting my stuff away in the little open cubbies we had in homeroom, my crush walks up to me, visibly upset, in front of the class, and says "Do you like me?". I said "Yeah, I do", and then she goes "Ew..." and walks away. I've had a crippling fear of embarrassment and rejection ever since. I somehow managed to have a girlfriend for a few months when I was 19, but otherwise I've only been into a few women who I waited far too long to ask out and they either had lost interest by that point or were never interested in the first place. I am trying to work on myself now and try dating again, but the current social climate really doesn't give me much hope. RIP. Edit: forgot to mention I'm 30 now.

    @@abolisher It was a long time ago, but having that happen at such a young age leaves scars on your mind. Honestly, at the time, while I felt betrayed and rejected, it could have affected me more than it did. It's mostly in retrospect I see how it subtly changed how I interacted with women and made me socially anxious around them.

    @@deathdriver23 that’s one girls opinion man not every girl is going to think the same about you some girls will find you attractive other girls won’t it’s just the way it is no matter how attractive or unattractive you look we all see differently. I recommend letting go of that past if it wasn’t good why remember it especially if it does damage to you right now or in the future. Me and some girl split up because she wouldn’t let go of her past from abuse cheating lies so she assumed every guy no after him would do the same. It’s not healthy for the healthy party to deal with such things no matter how much you care about that person.

    I've heard women say that confidence is a must-have in a cold approach (along with tall, rich and handsome, of course, but not many actually say that out loud). Every rejection dents confidence. Low confidence increases likelihood of rejection, which lowers confidence further and so on. It becomes inevitable that at some point the guys will just give up.

    It's not just fear of approaching women, it's fear of being approached by a woman aswell. I'm a dad of 3 but I can tell you that I have been treated terribly by women, like if I enter a place to get the kids a haircut at a kids salon but I get dagger eyes from the mums, or when I'm being polite and they think their being hit on, I struggle to set an example for my kids when it's never appreciated by anyone.

    I suffer from a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. I take meds and am extremely high functioning. I have a masters degree and a good job. I live independently. People don't even know I have the disorder unless I tell them. Most women, when they find out, say they're no longer interested in me and that it's creepy. It hurts so much, especially since I have my mental shit more together than most of the girls who judge me. One time I had a girl over my apartment. She saw a bottle of my meds. Then she told me it was creepy and scary, made fun of me, and left.

    Girls will make exceptions for men they like and barriers and rules for men they don't. One of the workers I supervise got a chick's number even as she explicitly stated she already had a boyfriend. Meanwhile I had a woman agree to multiple dates but got ghosted on all of them due to "family issues" (she was actually getting blasted by Chad at the club).
