Wow this gets worse, and worse, and worse. This person: 1) Actively posts in personals www.reddit.com/r/r4r/comments/wse28a/28_f4m_texas_anywhere_looking_for_my_romantic/ 2) Tries to ask men out AT WORK, www.reddit.com/r/AskMen/comments/vvbxjp/what_are_the_ways_if_any_to_ask_out_this_coworker/ 3) Posts about how bad it is when men who she has a pleasant conversation with ask her out OUTSIDE OF WORK www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/11bl5s7/comment/j9zgfp5/?context=3 4) When it all fails, posts in /r/foreveralone www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/11bl5s7/comment/j9zgfp5/?context=3 but to top it off. the best part.. since I moved to Texas, is my neighbor 😨 www.reddit.com/r/ForeverAloneDating/comments/wdiwry/28_f4m_texas_anywhere_looking_for_my_romantic/ this has to be a shitpost at this point, no way this is real. Nobody can have this complete lack self awareness... no one. but with my luck, this *ISN'T* a shitpost: she's probably my next door neighbor now🤡
She’s clearly just better than all the plebs who tried approaching the goddess herself. She knows she deserves that Texan gigachad to come along to shoo away those men beneath her.
I went to take a look and the linked posts that'd reveal it's worse are being removed. No idea if that's Mods thinking it's a shitpost too, or something else?
Once again men being blamed for not being able to read mind. "make sure she's interested romantically first before asking on a date!".... asking on a date is how we figure out if you are interested.
I think she was trying to say "our first relationship shouldn't be just about going on date", you could start off as friends and get to know each other. This is especially true if you're in a big population, we're literally once face out of thousands we see everyday, people can have their own social circles, including potential dating options. For our society 'dates' are actually moving pretty quick, people are usually going in with expectations from already established relationships (like at work) or, contradictory I know, from dating sites, which are nonetheless giving people at least a sense of some pre-vetting on who they are dealing with. The part about this not being a 'romcom' is because just asking someone out you've only known from proximity and getting into that kind of relationship isn't very realistic for people anymore.
What’s with all this “date” shit? I’ve lived all around the world and only in the US or in US movies have I seen this being such a big deal. No wonder women and men feel pressured. It should just be about having a good time together during a shared experience (sexual or not), everybody should probably chill or live in Europe for a bit :)
Catch 22: you don't know if she's interested, so you should ask her on a date but you also don't know if she's interested, so you shouldn't ask her on a date.
@@devinanni8117 Nah, the worst is: She says "Yes", goes on a date with you, then steals your credit card number, ghosts you, and buys a bunch of stuff with it (true story).
Everything she says is totally fine and then she goes "so now I have to feel uncomfortable and avoid this person till the end of my life"... No? You don't have to. You tell them you're not interested and that's that.
This reminds me of a story from Zen teachings in Japan. Two monks are walking along a road and are about to ford a stream to the other side. There is a woman who wants to cross for but she doesn't want to get the bottom of her kimono wet as she is attending a special event. One of the monks picked her up and carried her across and set her down. The monks continued but the other monk reminded the first monk "We are not ever allowed to even touch a woman. It's in our vows and you physically carried her across the water" and kept up the tirade for mile after mile. Finally, after quietly listening, the first monk replied "I put the woman down at the river bank, you're still carrying her". The story reminds me of today's whining women carrying everything that offends them, keeping all slights fresh in mind, around with them as everyday luggage.
I've been promising you guys for six months now I would finally break the 10 minutes to get more ad revenue via cat content. and today, I made good on that promise. Rossmann 2024
I just ran into a woman a few days while at work. All the conversation was pleasant and she started mixing up her words after she brushed my thigh. Asked her out the next day. Had a wonderful date.
It's like what do you want? You've made a game with rules that ensure nobody wins, including yourself and then you wonder why you are miserable. Idk what to tell them, 2+3=5, you can't love two and three while also hating five.
For so long men are the ones who are supposed to make the first move yet when they do they get this ridiculous behavior from someone who clearly has communication issues. Then if they don't make the first move we say they have no balls. How can they win? These men sound as though they played things just right---the burden was on her to exercise elementary etiquette and politely decline without the socially maladaptive misfit drama of ghosting/changing gym hours etc. Immaturity on stilts!
>Meet a girl at the gym >Have pleasant conversation >Want to see if she's romantically interested, still just fine with being friends >Asking her if she'd like to go on a date, but just hanging out is fine too >"Uh, no thanks." >Right on >She leaves and he never sees her again at the gym. What did this man do wrong? Honestly sounds like he did everything right to me.
According to a previous post on that subreddit, his "mistake" was that he talked to her in a location she visits regularly. The previous post said to initiate conversations in places you visit occasionally so you don't know where she works/spends time/etc. But then this post talks about how someone asked her out at the mall and that is still an issue? You just can't win with that subreddit.
@@charlesblasini2134 - But if you try to build a friendship with her then ask her out, she'll tell you that she sees you as a friend. But you already knew that, didn't you, Snake?
"make sure she's interested romantically first" Isn't that what asking for a date is? She didn't share what happened she said no. Does she have to change her gym hours because the guy reacted badly to rejection, or because she's got her own issues?
@@rossmanngroup At this point I think it's worth considering in institutionalizing her because you just know at some point some poor guy will end us arrested for "sexual violence" (i.e. smiling).
I hate that b!tch because she didn't elaborate or show example how to know she's interested romantically. Probably being vague or she tells you be intuitive or some stupid pow wow shit.
They probably aren't even asking her out on a real date, just to meet up somewhere to hang out and get to know each other a bit more, since everyone these days has schedules to keep and things to do, which keeps them from being able to spontaneously shoot the breeze with someone they just met for a few hours, more often than not
Yea but most guys would love to be asked out, like in general, even if the common interest isnt there, just the thought that someone liked you enough to aproach you and ask
@Hyi Vittu I met 2 of my closest friends at a low end customer service job I started when I was 18. After getting to know them, I found out we had a lot in common and we've been close ever since.
It's crazy to me how normal it's become culturally to reduce and shame all the avenues for dating except for online dating. Online dating is horrible. And all the responsibility, expectation and mind reading is expected from the man.
I can't help but wonder if there are marketing people from companies like Match Group trying to push this discourse. "Defer to our company 100% in everything because safety" seems to be the dominant marketing strategy for tech companies. Men and women I know, all for their own reasons, dislike dating apps. Some people use them, some people don't, but they're almost universally disliked. Personally, I don't have a problem with the idea of meeting people online but I don't use dating apps/sites. Aside from a hundred other good reasons to avoid them, I wouldn't want to date someone who gets offended by casual, respectful conversation in an appropriate public setting. That's just no way to live imho XD
On the plus side, after hearing her totally psycho response, looks to me like that guy just dodged a really bad bullet. Mission accomplished! Personally, I would really feel sorry for any guy who ever got seriously involved with someone like her.
This reddit thread is exactly the type of content I started making a conscious effort to avoid for the past 5-6 months. Life is just so much better without this manufactured outrage from reading/watching mental illness in action. There's enough to be outraged about in real life so I think it's best to get rid of all unnecessary anger triggers.
I know. I know it is bad for me. and I read it anyway. I think a part of my interest in it, is how I've been prove wrong recently. I used to say, _"this is the internet, not real life, real people don't think or talk or behave like this."_ More of this has been leaking out into normal reality though, so a part of me is ever so curious to understand, what I will be listening to/dealing with in the coming years.
100% guarantee that if men stopped making the approach, and never risked rejection to ask her out, you'd find this same woman in a bar, surrounded by her friends, complaining that "There aren't any real men left. Why are they all cowards?" Edit: Typo
I listened in on my sister having that exact conversation with her friends. "It's hard getting a boyfriend, no one is approaching or asking me out or catcalling. Which is a good thing but I want someone you know?" I didn't bother telling her to try making the first move.
50% of women: I hate it when men ask me out after just one nice interaction. The other 50%: I hate it when I make a connection with men and they don't make a move.
It’s nearly all of them, doing both. If the guy is “attractive” to them and they ask him out only to be ignored or rejected, they get angry. But yet they also get angry at guys that they see as “beneath them” (80% of men) for having the audacity to make that same move that they want the 20% of guys they desire to make the move on them but they won’t.
@@pwabd2784 and how they feel at the moment. Which changes… almost every second? Minute? Something like that Hot and cold and back and forth, all day every day
THIS!!! I’m def in the other 50% because I don’t ask men out because then … I look desperate or something. I just like to play it cool and if it happens great if not, I move on. I don’t have time to wait around.
I used to tell my female friends that. I happen to like to do stuff men like, climbing, fishing, flying. I did get asked on dates and had a lot of fun and made good friends. But you are right, my female friends instead kept going to clubs looking for men and meeting jerks. If a guy in their tennis class, say, asked them out they got all skittish.
@@angelachouinard4581 you need to understand that women need to build a narrative about what they are doing. A club is a filler arc, while a colleague hobbyist asking them out is the start of some romcom. The story has to be written in advanced, and it has to follow the story or else.
This guy gets it. It's only hard to get when you're young, hot and desirable. Once all that's gone they go from playing hard to get to being hard to want and miss all that "unwanted" attention they used to get now that they find themselves in a fortress of solitude with cats, antidepressants, Netflix and boxed wine and the full knowledge in hindsight that that their unrealistic standards were so grossly and unjustifiably inflated to such an unattainable degree that nobody could hope to measure up to them.
If that attention exists in the first place. Who in the right mind would want to date someone with such poor views of men and society? It would be depressing and difficult to keep someone like that happy. I imagine a lot of these posts are nothing more than miserable, incoherent, and fictitious ramblings of chronically single women who desperately want to feel desired by the opposite sex. Being rejected has made them incredibly hostile.
@Rich Smith They're like: "I refuse to shave, brush my hair, or take care of my body and outward appearance. No matter how badly I abuse my body with food, piercings and tattoos, I am sexy. Anyone who disagrees with me is a bigot. I don't want to work hard, but will still demand huge salaries. I refuse to take responsibility for anything I do and am allowed to revoke acceptance retroactively any time I feel regret. Lastly, anything that goes wrong in the world is the fault of men! …now why hasn't prince charming swept me off of my hooves already? Must be misogyny!
@@duketogo2616 That reminds me of what some old female comedian was lamenting. She talked about how when she was young she'd be very picky with her men but not that she's older she looks back on that with a "what was I thinking?!" attitude. To paraphrase, "too nice?! What the hell was I thinking. Nice might become a bit of an asshole, while an asshole is just going become a bigger asshole"
This actually reminds me, I did have a friendship with a girl who I kinda fancied that went on for years and I did confess to her how I'd felt and her words were "Why the hell didn't you say so".
Not to mention usually as a guy if you befriend a girl you find attractive, some other guy doesn't bother, skips that stage and asks her straight out...guess who ends up lonely and single? The guy who wanted to be "friends" first.
That's why I don't bother with relationships. I think it's so incredibly stupid that women don't ask men out and men are required to do it to get anywhere. I like a woman who knows what she wants and strives for it. Sadly, not many exist. I'm not saying this is a bad thing either, this is just my point of view. It's totally fine if it's up to men to make the first move, but I think it should be the other way around. Especially considering it shows the woman is more in control of the dynamics and gives them more freedom from being pursued by hyenas. But it's whatever. *Shrug*
Exactly. It's on men (and women) to take rejection in their stride and not be creeps. Beyond that though? The fact one woman personally does not enjoy being asked out does not mean other women don't and it's incredibly myopic for that person to assume she speaks for all women on the matter.
If you have a crush at the office, worst thing that could happen is that your cute colleague says 'yes'. Then, on the next week-end, you meet her at a restaurant. While dining, she laughs at all your jokes for an hour. Then, she suddenly becomes very cold, obnoxious, almost aggressive. Only to demand you why you asked for this . She, then reminds you that you forgot to say hello to her a few times, over the past years. And, NOW, she explicitly responds that she is not interested, and that she just accepted this to clarify things. Obviously on the next Monday at the office, you'd become a walking joke Sources : My past experience.
I'm in my mid thirties and have basically given up on ever finding someone. I'm genuinely nervous about even trying to ask someone out due to the madness that women have seemingly willingly convinced themselves of over the last ten-fifteen years. Now I am relatively content with myself and all the rest of that gift, but loving and being loved is a natural desire and honestly speaking it's a rather lonely existence all told.
30's are a difficult time. Things get easier in your 40's. People get more direct and honest. You can put it aside for a while, but there's no need to completely give up. Keep open the possibility that life might surprise you. That's what happened to me. Single for my 30's, completely gave up on relationships. Then things changed in my 40's. I'm married now with a kid. Men have a bit of extra time on their side if they still want a kid or two.

She won’t have this problem after age 35…she’ll be mad then for the opposite reason. Moral of the story: Leave her alone. Make her live by her current attitude later-even when being alone doesn’t advantage her. Keep that same energy.
I don't get this attitude. I'm never being bothered by anyone, and I'm not angry about it.Why would it be any different for anyone else? I absolutely would be angry if people kept bothering me with random date requests.
Why would you assume this? Are you aware that there are women out her that don't' care for male attention at all for the rest of their lives? Why 35? You think men don't age either?
@@abubakrakram6208 "I would be absolutely angry..." Yeah, sure you would. Speaks volumes about your character if you get angry for someone politely asking you out, and respecting your decline.
@@TheQueenIsWithin Men become MORE desirable to women after 35. Women are generally less desirable after 30. I didn’t make the biological rules. I just play by them.
Maybe it's the constant threat of rape and violence women in our society are subject to. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, they say. But a scorned man who decides he deserves, or feels entitled to a woman's body, is a potential assailant for the rest of her life. If you knew the constant fear of rape and violence women in our society live with, maybe you would be able to empathize with why she can't comfortably face a man she's rejected.
@@firerose7936 The vast majority of sexual violence occurs in relationships and telling a man you're not interested will hurt his feelings no worse than ghosting him. What women don't realise is that men are used to getting rejected, teenagers might be attached to one dream girl but they quickly learn to cast a wide net and practice the boomhauer technique, which is why guys will ask you out on the first conversation. If you say no they can move on to the next with less time wasted.
Can say for sure. Staying away from such subreddits has been a blessing for positivity. Don’t like seeing pointless conversations when they are so one sided. Thanks for the pov and video Luis.
That's why I am single. It's that irritation, like, how dare someone ask your number and date. Answer them you are not interested in it. I have many female friends.
The line about "making sure a woman is interested more than platonically before asking her on a date" shows above all else that this woman has no idea what the concept of being asked on a date is.
@@clobberelladoesntreadcomme9920 The idea of a date is so fucked now. I can understand how this girl might be uncomfortable at the suggestion of a date if "date" means "casual noncomittal sex". She'd think "Man, all these creeps are interested in my conversation only for the prospect of getting in my pants!". Obviously there are true examples of predatory men, but the way I actually understand a "date", most of these guys are interested in her conversation for the prospect of having a longer, more involved conversation, perhaps over a nice meal. What sexist pigs they are 🙄
I've asked women out on dates, they said no, I said 'ok', turned around and walked away. Also, shout out to Louis for mentioning Shostakovich! Props for bringing art into the conversation!
The most recent Austin symphony orchestra concert was actually Rachmaninoff, but that makes it even better. :) You are already ahead of the pack if your company for the evening knows something good when she hears it
@@Blackpapalink People like that are just a waste of time. Clearly they've got some pretty major issues that you probably don't want to deal with in a relationship anyway. We've all got our baggage, but that "need to be chased" isn't just going to stop at being asked out. I'd rather be alone than have to constantly satisfy someone's debilitating need for validation.
I came to the conclusion not to befriend females (of the human species). Courteous but distant. They’re always on the receiving end regardless. In my experience anyway.
All she has to say is that she's taken. It's not rocket science, most men will respect that boundary and move on with their life. I'm more confused why she feels the need to lead these men on and say nothing about it. Women lie all the time about their relationship status if they're not interested in a man.
Gives off the same vibes as asking for 10yrs of experience in a 2yr old coding language. You will only get the job if you lie on the resume, or if you are a friend of the boss.
Louis, so many years. The same chair, the same cats, the same mindset. I love listen to you. So many years and and still love your content. Thanks for these moments.
I don't believe the responder thought he was going to get down voted because he thought his opinion was wrong. I think that they just have a realistic understanding of the way some people have been attacked for simply speaking the realistic truth. Sad to say.

If it was different ingredients, there might be a time when its better to make a waffle than end up not being able to make anything. The fact that its the same ingredients is precisely why you should always make the pancake. Nobody likes to clean a waffle iron.
“I’m not even that attractive” then you should be grateful that someone noticed you. Imagine a guy asking you out after finding things in common… wow she’s awful
Why can't men see if women are interested in them before asking them on a date. You talked a while, both shared interests, then they asked you if you wanted to go on a date. They did what you asked and you still burned them on a stake. This is one reason why men are increasingly less likely to approach a woman. She will be, in 10 years wondering why she no longer gets any interest
There's nothing wrong with it. Different people have different tastes and approach dating differently. Don't let that discourage you. The lady on the reddit post is just ranting and being a drama llama. I wouldn't go as far to assume she will be one of those foreveralone in 10 years types though.
@IWriteTooMuch she has all the hallmarks of a "alone in 10 years" type. She already is blaming men for not being able to read her mind and know exactly what she wants. She posted examples of how these people approached her, broached topics, then asked if she would like to continue learning about each other, since a date does not mean that you are now in a committed relationship. People like this also tend to have higher standards yet when you ask what they bring to the table. They call you out and call you sexist.
Just learned today that one of my highschool classmates had a crush on me. Funny because I also had one on her, but since we were both terrible at communicating that, we did not even date once. Communication is a key thing for everything else.
Yeah, after stuff like that happened to me a few times over the years, I can't help but wonder "how many such opportunities were missed, but I'll never know?" Then I wondered, "how many times does this happen on average to people in general?" and "what would things be like if people could just know if they'd be a good match?"
Once the current rooster of red-pill content creators venture beyond "babbys first redpill", they'll be banned. (Semi-tisms and all that jazz). Funny.

Wow, so you talked to someone and they want to keep talking to you, so they ask you out to dinner... How rude, he offered to buy you food in exchange for talking to him? Men should never do that. Sorry, I can't say that sarcastically enough. Can someone help me here?
I can see how it would be annoying to have to someone attracted to you and you not feel the same. As a man I can count on one hand the number of times I've been in that situation and it wasn't fun, wasnt the end of the world but wasn't fun. But at the same time, thats literally the only way you're going to get a date as man. You have to pursue first, its not gonna happen the other way around. Kind of frustrating on both sides I suppose. Its almost as if people are just puzzle pieces that don't fit. To quote Isaac Brock "Everyone's a building burning, with noone to put the fire out".
Someone strikes up a friendly conversation with you, and you think you're just two people having a friendly conversation, but at the end they ask you to buy this thing they're selling. They really, really want you to buy the thing, and if you say no, they get unpleasant up to and including being violent about it. How would you feel? How would you feel if it happened to you all the time?
I've been seeing this creep in for some years, and it feeds on itself due to the echo chambers in social media. It's making people truly resentful and bitter.
@@EyePatchGuy88 The smart phone isn't the problem. It's social media with the whole being anonymous factor and impersonal nature of those platforms that *really* is causing the problems.

@@InfernosReaper The impersonal nature of social media is fine, it lets people be honest. The problem is downvotes silencing wrong think and mods banning anyone who criticises a community's culture. Without a counter view one side of the argument ends up becoming law and you've got one more echo chamber full of people disconnected with reality.
@@hurrdurrmurrgurr It doesn't even let them be honest, though. I don't really see where you get that from. It encourages people to be either jerks in general because they think there's no consequence, even though they *normally* wouldn't be like that, or try to bully people into conforming to their beliefs.
I avoid reddit for the simple reason on how that person started their comment with knowing it will be down voted. It's been like that for years already.
What really enrages me is that women like this will then have the sheer audacity to turn around after a few years and ask where all the good men have gone, wondering why nobody asks them out anymore. Oh, sweet cherubic summer child... Make better choices, and show some actual accountability for once in your entire spoiled existence. You told men to leave you alone, and we listened.
''If, despite all of this you want to ask a particular woman out, make sure she is interested romantically *first*, not just platonically'' So in other words ''read my mind to know if I'm interested in going on a date with you before asking me if I want to go on a date with you''. Because surely this is a perfectly balanced and thoughtful way to interact with people... The mere fact that such people go on to live long enough to become adults speaks to how thoroughly mankind has erased all the barriers of natural selection that would have normally prevented people from being this amazingly stupid.
The people who suggest men should make sure she is interested romantically first demonstrate zero knowledge and experience of how most people with a social circle and social skills communicate and interact with one another. And I say this as someone who is both introverted and lacks said skills.
I think it used to make sense back when cultures were very clear about how you should interact and communicate with potential mates, but now we live in a world where nothing makes sense so we have to play these stupid mind-reading games.
The weird thing is these people might not even be asking the person out on a date but want to hang out in a setting where they have more time to get a better feel for the person. Literally can't do that if the person doesn't give *some kind* of contact info and make a plan.
I admire your persistence in rejecting the blackpill and subsequent nihilism and social decay that follows it. The reason you're seeing it leave the internet and get closer to real-life is because that blackpilled nihilism is spreading. There are many socioeconomic factors involved in it. One of which is the lack of men who make more than women since women are the majority of people in higher education now and are constitutionally hypergamous so tend to reach above and beyond their level and they're not finding many men to try to marry up to. Hypergamy floats so as their status increases so does the level of man they find acceptable. Men are seeing that wages are flat for the last half century and prices of everything are up so rather than kill themselves chasing the already ate carrot at the end of a stick they're just maintaining a minimal level of living to get by which is possible if you pool resources with others on housing expenses. So you have a huge divergence there. Imagine a basketball hoop 100 meters in the air. Most people wouldn't even bother throwing the ball.
I'll reject the nihilistic blackpill until the day I die. Life is unfair, and there's tons of tragedy, misery, heartache everywhere... but I'd rather be dead than live life as a miserable hopeless fk. I will fail, make a fool of myself, and make mistakes again and again and again. I will have governors gut bills I worked on for 7 years, eugenes who rip me off for $30k, companies that implode, relationships that fail, women who reject me, jobs I get fired from, but no permanent blackpill. I think one of the reasons I loved the story of Final Fantasy 9 so much as a kid, was the entire game being this overarching story of rejecting hopeless nihilism. half edit: right as I typed that, someone crashed their car into a parked car right outside my store. Maybe that's a sign...
Blackpill is a dead end. It only locks you in the arms of blackpill grifters who feed on your frustrations and angers. If you think women are what you read on Reddit or watch on TikTok, you are deluding yourself. You don’t need a blackpill, you need to toughen your fragile ego and become a “real man”
Isn't asking someone on a date the same as checking if she's interested in him? I don't know how else people will check that without asking the person on a date, especially if it's someone you might never see again if you don't make a move right away. Maybe I'm just getting old. Back in my day, asking someone out on a date after a nice conversation was the way to check. So get this, this happened about 12 years ago. Man: So now I'm on the prowl to find a woman to date. Me: Oh look I missed my bus. Man: Let me give you a lift. 12 years later, we're still madly in love with each other and happily married. Funny thing, I'm pretty sure someone somewhere today would find tons of things wrong with how we hit on each other.
As soon as he showed it was a post from r/twoxchromosomes I knew we were in for some shit. It's truly misandry of the highest order there from what I've seen.
Too many people think all of life works like Burger King's slogan ("Have it Your Way"). They want things exclusively on their terms and think anything else is a crime.
Hear me out on this but I think I know why posts like these happen. I think a large part of this is how women in general have devalued sex. Back in the day, people just going on dates were very common, people just did them and then went home. The idea of "sex on the first date" was completely unheard of, so dates had a lot less pressure, it was just people spending one-on-one time with each other. Now fast forward to today where, sex on a first date is very common and almost a norm. It's no wonder why women hate being asked out all the time, because in their view, being asked out on a date is being asked out for sex. Dating is ruined by women not having stronger barriers for sex. This is all just a "in the moment" theory and probably isn't 100% correct but I think it's something similar to this.
Ok, about 30 years ago I noticed a woman at the gym (very cute) who started showing up at the gym regularly on my schedule. I'd seen her previously, but not that often. At some point I realized that she was 1) ALWAYS on the weight machine directly opposite of me, and 2) she wasn't wearing any panties under her loose shorts, when I knew that previously she always had a pair on. I was getting a regular show of her unshaved glory several times per week for an hour or more and she never said a word or even looked me in the eye. This went on for weeks, and I just considered it a perk of the gym that a pretty young woman was indulging her exhibitionist streak with me. Prior to her I'd always gotten some interaction with the women that flashed me, even if it was just a smile or an "oops," even if was completely accidental. Studiously pretending that I wasn't even there despite the whole performance being just for me was somehow a key part of it all. Then I screwed it up and said "Hi" to her at the desk on the way out. She bolted and I never saw her again. So, the answer to your question is "insecure crazy people."
Meanwhile, a huge number of women over 30, are complaining on social media, that Men aren't hitting on them anymore. Go Figure. I am thinking, if the guy asking her on a date, was 6'2" tall, Handsome, and make better then $200k per year, she would be the one doing the asking. Her problem most likely, is NOT that men are asking her out, it is that the WRONG men, are asking her out.
most humans are socially retarded because they don't put social skills as just as important if not the most important keys to their life and pro creation, they believe it should be natural and effortless which it should be, which is precisely why it's dumbfounding. Maybe it's not as "natural" and "effortless" as humans make it out to be in their perception.
Yeah from someone who was functionally a mute for the first 20 years of my life and still kinda am. it still surprises me that otherwise completely functional and normal people sometimes have worst social skills then I do
@@Nelsonwmj yeah I'd say things started to degrade with the introduction of feminism in the 1960s way before I was even born. Certainly accelerated with the smart phone dating app stuff though didn't it?
I made a decision when i was 23 to focus on myself instead of chasing a relationship, i saw the writing on the wall. I dont regret it at all. if i were to start looking for a partner, i will probably look overseas.
@@TruthDoesNotExist Why? Because life has a tendency to push you towards what you are in need of at that moment anyways. No matter if you like it or not. I ended up with a partner about a year after this comment, they found me. I just kept doing positive choices for myself, making the best out of what i have. Eventually someone took notice and wanted to be a part of it. I just accepted because it felt right. I do not know what the future holds, but i am happy my choices put me where i am.
I did a social experiment once, tallied the number of people who responded to a simple greeting while I was walking home from work. After recording the results for several hundred of these interactions, I calculated that men were likely to respond approximately 50% of the time with a similar greeting. Women responded less than 10% of the time. It just seems to be like that these days.
Before i asked her out, i worked with my girlfriend, got to know her, and decided to ask her out. The woman i asked before her (also got to know her), had a boyfriend, and to this day, despite being rejected, we are still cool. According to this woman, getting to know someone, and trying to find out if they have similar interests, is a sign of desperation. How? You literally cannot know if someone is romantically interested, _until you ask them out._
unless she finally says yes and ends up marrying the guy. this happening to one of my friend's sisters. there is of course a difference between persistence and pestering. o yea i kinda have personal experience with this as well. i was in a year-long relationship with a girl who initially rejected me and changed her mind after she got jealous of my friends' wife 'flirting' with me. long story short people are weird and there are not really any rules to courtship. there are bad actors so i would encourage everybody to be cautious. but don't turn that into paranoia.
@@alexweir1373 That's the thing. Sometimes "no" means "no" and sometimes it's "I want to see if you'll follow me into hell" but it's often very difficult, if not impossible to tell which is which.
To be fair, in that sense the proliferation of online video chat has kind of bypassed that purpose for dating. If she'll call you every day, you don't need to make excuses to see her!
The flip side of the coin is to ask why men face constant hostility from women. I almost never get far enough a date is remotely relevant and she's already hostile. It's soul crushing to not even be treated like a human being by strangers and colleagues that treat you as pathological just for your gender.
It's the law of the land for a reason. You must devalue yourself so that someone of finer clay can rule you or extract from you. Women lose the most as they become more dependent on other people.
I'm pretty sure because a few times in their lives some men were not just legitimate assholes, but scared the everliving shit out of them and now they have trauma.
@@jasonblaha8918 there is no need to fear it. When you notice it, stop, don't take it personally because you know it's not about you, and appreciate that she's going through something in that moment. Let her know that you can see her trama and that it's all right. Invite her to talk about it. It's only a problem if you get reactive and make it a problem.
@@Hyperwav3 Exactly. You just made your problem their problem. Trauma is not an excuse for bad behavior, but it is unfortunately a common predictor of it. Most abusers were abused themselves after all. I was bullied quite intensely as a kid. Would that justify me being a brutish asshole to people now or being overly aggressive in non confrontational situations? No. I had to work through that and purge my mind of the bad habits I built as defense/coping mechanisms during that time. I'm not even saying it's easy, it's not. And it's something I'll have to do in some form likely for the rest of my life. But it is what it is. I can't change what was done to me in the past, but I can choose not to pass that onto anyone else in the future. I say this because I used to be like that myself. An overly hostile and misanthropic asshole. And it made it harder for me to do anything social, so I eventually learned not to do that.
That's very depressing that nowadays craving connection with people is being demonized in public spaces. Some women just tend to ignore that humans are herd animal and relationships aren't all about sexual activity.
@@keithklassen5320 Not every activity that you ask someone out for is sex-oriented, neither it automatically becomes "date". Some people just ask people that they find interest to have occasion to know them better or have company to talk while doing something (going hiking, taking photos of random stuff in town or just walking). When you ask someone out, you don't know yet if with time you will become just friends, couple, or after all you'll decide that you don't match vibes and you will never see each other again. The whole point of asking someone out is to know them better. There's no possibility to know if someone is good material for partner if you don't know them, and even if you won't see each other again, it's a great occasion to exchange ideas and perspectives or just spend nice time with someone.
Attitudes like this are the reason why people seem to lose their virginity later and later. Dating these days seems awful for many people and since the rise of Instagram expectations seem outrageously high. This person literally discribed getting to know another person as bothersome which is so concerning to me. You can complain about declining birth rates but this is even worse. Like how are you gonna find happiness or socialize like that...beyond me, I agree she might have a deep seeded issue
"Attitudes like this are the reason why people seem to lose their virginity later and later." *uhm nope. Guys are losing their virginity later because young females spend their early years only chasing the top guys*
So basically, this woman's saying: Ugh, I can't believe these stupid males keep trying to continue the species. Ya know, simplified a little, paraphrased if you will.😂 A few years ago, I was getting my haircut by a lady that I thought was, eh, I'd have considered asking her out. Except one day, she complained to me about a customer that did that. She was put off that someone would be so bold to ask her out to dinner and she thought it was rude. I went home wondering how people are supposed to meet anyone these days.
This is why why cant have nice things... Social media gave massive audiences to so many random idiots. Thousands and thousands of random idiots who's collective influence on our society is somewhere between unhelpful and overwhelmingly negative. So, yeah... I don't see how this is gonna end well...
It can be dangerous for even innocent guys ... I was on a city bus listening to podcasts on bluetooth and suddenly I notice this young woman seemingly talking to me .. I pull out an earpod and ask what's up? She starts complaining that I was staring at her ... Ha . Till you talked to me I hadn't noticed you. But she was insisting that I was creeping her somehow .. had to get loud on the bus . I told her to f off and went back to my podcasts... There isn't anything anyone can say to an accusation like that... Unless you are guilty then you could say sorry I suppose... But I didn't even see this woman till she was already angry at me. Ah well m. It was an awkward but brief moment ... But what if her three big brothers had gotten on the bus?
All of this could be solved if single women would get together and create a universal symbol that shows everyone they are single and open to dating, like wearing a certain color ribbon or flower in their hair. Although this gets rid of their favorite turn down line of saying they are already seeing someone.
@@burekking1960 Why? You don't want clarity and less confusion? Women can choose when they are approached, and take it off when they don't want it. Men will immediately know who is available. Men will also immediately know if their girl is cheating on them or trying to cheat on them if they are still wearing it.
Well at 37 I stopped dating 5 years ago and I've been much happier. Every aspect of my life has improved. I deny, block and ignore any women who try to be more than platonic, and let me tell you, most want more than just friendship. It's definitely not just a man thing.
Yeah i hear that lol. Women are nuts, i man people in general are regardless of gender, not all of them but enough to turn me off from all the silly senseless drama that is the norm. They throw themselves at me so much it's a turn off. I've been 'sexually assaulted' (if there wasn't a double standard) more times than i can count. Half the women in this small town have either grabbed my ass or tried to lick my tonsils forcefully when nobody was looking and they all think they're the only one, i got my ass squeezed 3 times in an hour working a fancy wine tasting event. I've had women pants me in public and latch onto my D like a suckerfish , had to carefully pry jaws away a few times while people wake and drove by looking like WTF lol. Another time it happened i was with a woman, my arm around her talking to her and another girl did the same suckerfish trick. She's like WTF and by this point i'm just like "yeah, this always happens, excuse me" as i wrestled my stuff back from her and told her no. The weirdest stuff is when women give me their number in front of the guy they were just holding hands with. He looks all salty at me while she gushes over me and i just try to gtfo.
Men age like wine. As we get more skills, more experience, and more assets/money, we get more attractive. (And having more years of working out and exercise doesn’t hurt) Meanwhile, women tend to rely on their youth and good looks and therefore age like milk. In fact, women are most attractive the moment they hit 18- although it’s creepy for there to be a large age difference between two people who are dating. After they hit 18, it’s the roaring 20’s, but by 35, they hit the wall and it’s all downhill from there.
@@orppranator5230 My dude, you think you're spitting facts but just....no. This is not only objectively wrong, it's toxic as hell. I hope you can see why I think so as long as you're not a schmuck about it - it ain't you, it's just outdated stereotypes.
I've been wanting to say this for a while but notice how women are saying, "why can't I find a man who's interested in me?", not even realizing that she is not even emotionally or psychologically available to anybody except herself and even that is pushing it. They have severe mental issues or personality issues preventing them from being vulnerable with anybody let alone being available to anybody else's interest. The only people I see being creeps about this are the actual women.
find out if she's romantically interested before finding out if she's romantically interested otherwise you're a predator and she will try to delete herself from your life on the one hand, if she does the disappearing, the problem solves itself...
Women act like a simple question is harassment but I've legitimately been stalked and harassed by a few women in the past, with one of them being really bad. She approached me for the first time, and we had never spoken before that. She confessed her love to me before she could even ask me what my name was. I noped out of there as fast as possible cause all the alarms were blaring. She ended up somehow figuring out my full name, social media accounts, address, and phone number. When I got home after school that day, as well as every day for a long time after that, I had 150+ unread Facebook messages, and when I blocked that account, a new one would appear, and then I started receiving text messages, too. I was a loner in school and just kept to myself, I honestly don't know how she managed to get any information about me. And I did tell her I wasn't interested and that I just wanted her to leave me alone multiple times. By the way, this isn't a flex at all. She was a horrible person and fairly unattractive as well. These days, "I'm happily married with kids," tends to keep the crazies away, so there's that, at least.
@@MrDarthtelos that's cap. Getting in the practice when it comes to approaching or asking random women out is invaluable. It simultaneously breeds a level of security in yourself & tempers you against rejection. There absolutely are benefits to it even as a practice, & considering this guy said he has anxiety over asking people out, getting practice with that very thing will do wonders for him long-term. Everyone *knows* to pick themselves back up when they've fallen down, but few are able to put it into practice in the moment when it comes to mental battles.
@@MrDarthtelos I didn't say you need to, but you're telling the guy who says he has anxiety approaching women that he'll be better off just never doing it & that's straight cap my g. Your advice would fester his anxiety instead of conquering it. I could care less if he even goes out with any of the women he approached, but the act of approaching will absolutely help him with the anxiety he feels over this exact situation.
You have insecurities about your value which makes you fearful and gives you anxiety. That fear tells you stories. You hear women talk like this online and you use it to confirm your stories. Yes, some women like this exist and you will run into them. It's not a good reason to hide from your insecurities and prevent you from getting what you want from women and life. You are worthy and deserve to get what you want. If you work through your insecurity you can go after and get what you want.
This shit ain't rocket appliances. Have some self awareness of yourself. Improve yourself how you can, where you think others might find you weird/unattractive. You're likely gonna get shot down 99% of the time if you take the boomhauer approach. Get some hobbies, interests, etc. Go out and interact with people in places where both genders are running around. Be casual and genuinely interested in those you talk with, and broach the subject of dating later. Learn to find comfort in being alone. You'll value being with someone more that way. The issue I see nowadays is people care about only what they want, instead of building actual relationships. That's why you see more people like this. They're looking for the perfect one, and they don't exist, so stop trying.
All you have to do is say no and move on. If being asked out is really so oppressive for a person then I'd assume they don't know what a real problem is.
As people get older and the odds for a family happening get lower, the resentment will grow between men and women. A lot of it is coming from millenials right now. It will continue to get worse, and the more recent generations are about to get to a point of being even worse.
You have to run these scenarios through a translator for woman speak. What she and other women mean is they're upset the man didn't look like *insert current heartthrob*.
It depends, when you don't have experience in dating it is higher chance that the young women reject even the current "heartthrob" because they are much to shy to "dare" it.

"make sure she's interested romantically first before asking on a date!".... asking on a date is how we figure out if you are interested.
just ask her, whats the worst that could happen? she say no?
now they post it all over reddit and on social media and make u look like a pos
"Well, if you don't know, then I can't tell you 😒" - 🤦 As dumb as "if you know, you know". 🙄
I think she was trying to say "our first relationship shouldn't be just about going on date", you could start off as friends and get to know each other. This is especially true if you're in a big population, we're literally once face out of thousands we see everyday, people can have their own social circles, including potential dating options. For our society 'dates' are actually moving pretty quick, people are usually going in with expectations from already established relationships (like at work) or, contradictory I know, from dating sites, which are nonetheless giving people at least a sense of some pre-vetting on who they are dealing with.
The part about this not being a 'romcom' is because just asking someone out you've only known from proximity and getting into that kind of relationship isn't very realistic for people anymore.
Just go fishing but don't dare cast a line!
What’s with all this “date” shit? I’ve lived all around the world and only in the US or in US movies have I seen this being such a big deal. No wonder women and men feel pressured. It should just be about having a good time together during a shared experience (sexual or not), everybody should probably chill or live in Europe for a bit :)
"make sure she's interested romantically first..."
That's..what they're trying to find out.
My point.
But guys, you have to understand that she doesn't feel the sparkles and the butterflies in the stomach, so he is actually wrong

This reminds me of a story from Zen teachings in Japan.
Two monks are walking along a road and are about to ford a stream to the other side. There is a woman who wants to cross for but she doesn't want to get the bottom of her kimono wet as she is attending a special event. One of the monks picked her up and carried her across and set her down. The monks continued but the other monk reminded the first monk "We are not ever allowed to even touch a woman. It's in our vows and you physically carried her across the water" and kept up the tirade for mile after mile. Finally, after quietly listening, the first monk replied "I put the woman down at the river bank, you're still carrying her".
The story reminds me of today's whining women carrying everything that offends them, keeping all slights fresh in mind, around with them as everyday luggage.
Wow, I love this. Thank you
I don't know if that's the core message of the story, but honestly me bringing it up could prove the story right.

According to a previous post on that subreddit, his "mistake" was that he talked to her in a location she visits regularly.

Isn't that what asking for a date is? She didn't share what happened she said no. Does she have to change her gym hours because the guy reacted badly to rejection, or because she's got her own issues?
There is some unresolved trauma there that a therapist should be working with her through, I am guessing.
@@rossmanngroup At this point I think it's worth considering in institutionalizing her because you just know at some point some poor guy will end us arrested for "sexual violence" (i.e. smiling).

@Louis Rossmann That's an nice response. I think this is Jordan Peterson's real life example. He's correct, feminists are miserable.
And a first date doesn't necessarily need to even be romantic. It is just a test run to see if there is any chemistry or interest there.
She gets asked out by people who share a common interest. The horror
Most guys would love to have this happen to them, ever
guys with common interest, just *not hot enough*
They probably aren't even asking her out on a real date, just to meet up somewhere to hang out and get to know each other a bit more, since everyone these days has schedules to keep and things to do, which keeps them from being able to spontaneously shoot the breeze with someone they just met for a few hours, more often than not
Yea but most guys would love to be asked out, like in general, even if the common interest isnt there, just the thought that someone liked you enough to aproach you and ask
@Hyi Vittu I met 2 of my closest friends at a low end customer service job I started when I was 18. After getting to know them, I found out we had a lot in common and we've been close ever since.
It's crazy to me how normal it's become culturally to reduce and shame all the avenues for dating except for online dating. Online dating is horrible. And all the responsibility, expectation and mind reading is expected from the man.
I HATE online dating. I'd rather meet people in real life
I can't help but wonder if there are marketing people from companies like Match Group trying to push this discourse. "Defer to our company 100% in everything because safety" seems to be the dominant marketing strategy for tech companies.
Men and women I know, all for their own reasons, dislike dating apps. Some people use them, some people don't, but they're almost universally disliked.
Personally, I don't have a problem with the idea of meeting people online but I don't use dating apps/sites. Aside from a hundred other good reasons to avoid them, I wouldn't want to date someone who gets offended by casual, respectful conversation in an appropriate public setting. That's just no way to live imho XD
On the plus side, after hearing her totally psycho response, looks to me like that guy just dodged a really bad bullet. Mission accomplished! Personally, I would really feel sorry for any guy who ever got seriously involved with someone like her.
True that. She sounds like a lunatic! 😬

It’s nearly all of them, doing both. If the guy is “attractive” to them and they ask him out only to be ignored or rejected, they get angry. But yet they also get angry at guys that they see as “beneath them” (80% of men) for having the audacity to make that same move that they want the 20% of guys they desire to make the move on them but they won’t.
It's not 50% of women are one way and 50% are the other. It's all women, and it depends on how attractive the guy is.
@@pwabd2784 and how they feel at the moment. Which changes… almost every second? Minute? Something like that

I’m def in the other 50% because I don’t ask men out because then … I look desperate or something. I just like to play it cool and if it happens great if not, I move on. I don’t have time to wait around.
@@princessmarlena1359 this is very true
Female: Meet women while doing hobbies you love.
Also female: Why are men asking me out just because we share a hobby?
Hell, they may not even be asking them out on dates either, but want to get together and hang out more in a situation where they have more time.
I used to tell my female friends that. I happen to like to do stuff men like, climbing, fishing, flying. I did get asked on dates and had a lot of fun and made good friends. But you are right, my female friends instead kept going to clubs looking for men and meeting jerks. If a guy in their tennis class, say, asked them out they got all skittish.
And you KNOW she'll get upset when a guy she's actually interested in isn't interested in her.
@@angelachouinard4581 you need to understand that women need to build a narrative about what they are doing. A club is a filler arc, while a colleague hobbyist asking them out is the start of some romcom. The story has to be written in advanced, and it has to follow the story or else.
it's the same women that states the hobbies they have and are looking for somebody to do hobbies with.
Once that ‘unwanted’ attention fades, the lament becomes louder and list of grievances grows longer 🥴
This guy gets it. It's only hard to get when you're young, hot and desirable. Once all that's gone they go from playing hard to get to being hard to want and miss all that "unwanted" attention they used to get now that they find themselves in a fortress of solitude with cats, antidepressants, Netflix and boxed wine and the full knowledge in hindsight that that their unrealistic standards were so grossly and unjustifiably inflated to such an unattainable degree that nobody could hope to measure up to them.
If that attention exists in the first place. Who in the right mind would want to date someone with such poor views of men and society? It would be depressing and difficult to keep someone like that happy. I imagine a lot of these posts are nothing more than miserable, incoherent, and fictitious ramblings of chronically single women who desperately want to feel desired by the opposite sex. Being rejected has made them incredibly hostile.
Asking a women out on a date is sick and perverted, and an affront to feminism, until they turn 40.
@Rich Smith They're like:
"I refuse to shave, brush my hair, or take care of my body and outward appearance. No matter how badly I abuse my body with food, piercings and tattoos, I am sexy. Anyone who disagrees with me is a bigot. I don't want to work hard, but will still demand huge salaries. I refuse to take responsibility for anything I do and am allowed to revoke acceptance retroactively any time I feel regret. Lastly, anything that goes wrong in the world is the fault of men!
…now why hasn't prince charming swept me off of my hooves already? Must be misogyny!
@@duketogo2616 That reminds me of what some old female comedian was lamenting. She talked about how when she was young she'd be very picky with her men but not that she's older she looks back on that with a "what was I thinking?!" attitude.
To paraphrase, "too nice?! What the hell was I thinking. Nice might become a bit of an asshole, while an asshole is just going become a bigger asshole"
This actually reminds me, I did have a friendship with a girl who I kinda fancied that went on for years and I did confess to her how I'd felt and her words were "Why the hell didn't you say so".
Not to mention usually as a guy if you befriend a girl you find attractive, some other guy doesn't bother, skips that stage and asks her straight out...guess who ends up lonely and single? The guy who wanted to be "friends" first.
That's why I don't bother with being friends
That's why I don't bother with relationships. I think it's so incredibly stupid that women don't ask men out and men are required to do it to get anywhere. I like a woman who knows what she wants and strives for it. Sadly, not many exist. I'm not saying this is a bad thing either, this is just my point of view. It's totally fine if it's up to men to make the first move, but I think it should be the other way around. Especially considering it shows the woman is more in control of the dynamics and gives them more freedom from being pursued by hyenas. But it's whatever. *Shrug*
One reason why I stopped befriending women I find attractive
Exactly. It's on men (and women) to take rejection in their stride and not be creeps.
Beyond that though? The fact one woman personally does not enjoy being asked out does not mean other women don't and it's incredibly myopic for that person to assume she speaks for all women on the matter.
If you have a crush at the office, worst thing that could happen is that your cute colleague says 'yes'.
Then, on the next week-end, you meet her at a restaurant. While dining, she laughs at all your jokes for an hour. Then, she suddenly becomes very cold, obnoxious, almost aggressive. Only to demand you why you asked for this . She, then reminds you that you forgot to say hello to her a few times, over the past years. And, NOW, she explicitly responds that she is not interested, and that she just accepted this to clarify things. Obviously on the next Monday at the office, you'd become a walking joke
Sources : My past experience.
I'm in my mid thirties and have basically given up on ever finding someone. I'm genuinely nervous about even trying to ask someone out due to the madness that women have seemingly willingly convinced themselves of over the last ten-fifteen years.
Now I am relatively content with myself and all the rest of that gift, but loving and being loved is a natural desire and honestly speaking it's a rather lonely existence all told.
Seriously, look into working a foreign job, most women you'll meet aren't psychotic like American wo(is)men.
30's are a difficult time. Things get easier in your 40's. People get more direct and honest. You can put it aside for a while, but there's no need to completely give up. Keep open the possibility that life might surprise you. That's what happened to me. Single for my 30's, completely gave up on relationships. Then things changed in my 40's. I'm married now with a kid. Men have a bit of extra time on their side if they still want a kid or two.
There's a reason men are checking out of dating and marriage completely or going overseas to find a wife.

Maybe it's the constant threat of rape and violence women in our society are subject to. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, they say. But a scorned man who decides he deserves, or feels entitled to a woman's body, is a potential assailant for the rest of her life. If you knew the constant fear of rape and violence women in our society live with, maybe you would be able to empathize with why she can't comfortably face a man she's rejected.
@@firerose7936 The vast majority of sexual violence occurs in relationships and telling a man you're not interested will hurt his feelings no worse than ghosting him. What women don't realise is that men are used to getting rejected, teenagers might be attached to one dream girl but they quickly learn to cast a wide net and practice the boomhauer technique, which is why guys will ask you out on the first conversation. If you say no they can move on to the next with less time wasted.

The line about "making sure a woman is interested more than platonically before asking her on a date" shows above all else that this woman has no idea what the concept of being asked on a date is.
*facts*
Guarantee "Netflix and chill" is her idea of what a date is. The concept of a "date" as understood even 10-15 years ago never entered her mind.
Her mind has been rotted by years of Tinder into thinking that means anal sex at the end of the first date.
@@clobberelladoesntreadcomme9920 The idea of a date is so fucked now. I can understand how this girl might be uncomfortable at the suggestion of a date if "date" means "casual noncomittal sex". She'd think "Man, all these creeps are interested in my conversation only for the prospect of getting in my pants!". Obviously there are true examples of predatory men, but the way I actually understand a "date", most of these guys are interested in her conversation for the prospect of having a longer, more involved conversation, perhaps over a nice meal. What sexist pigs they are 🙄

@@Blackpapalink yeah, the ol, “I respect a man confident enough to ask a girl out”. But if they don’t like you, you’re just a douchebag.
@@Blackpapalink People like that are just a waste of time. Clearly they've got some pretty major issues that you probably don't want to deal with in a relationship anyway. We've all got our baggage, but that "need to be chased" isn't just going to stop at being asked out. I'd rather be alone than have to constantly satisfy someone's debilitating need for validation.
I came to the conclusion not to befriend females (of the human species). Courteous but distant. They’re always on the receiving end regardless. In my experience anyway.
All she has to say is that she's taken. It's not rocket science, most men will respect that boundary and move on with their life. I'm more confused why she feels the need to lead these men on and say nothing about it. Women lie all the time about their relationship status if they're not interested in a man.
"I'm gonna go somewhere to hangout and flirt"
"Why are guys hitting on me, I'm not a sexual object"
Her assumption is very stupid and paranoia
Gives off the same vibes as asking for 10yrs of experience in a 2yr old coding language. You will only get the job if you lie on the resume, or if you are a friend of the boss.

I'm sure there's another Reddit post saying how shallow all guys are for just asking out the pretty girls.
Why can't men see if women are interested in them before asking them on a date.
You talked a while, both shared interests, then they asked you if you wanted to go on a date.
They did what you asked and you still burned them on a stake.
This is one reason why men are increasingly less likely to approach a woman.
She will be, in 10 years wondering why she no longer gets any interest
There's nothing wrong with it. Different people have different tastes and approach dating differently. Don't let that discourage you.
The lady on the reddit post is just ranting and being a drama llama. I wouldn't go as far to assume she will be one of those foreveralone in 10 years types though.
@IWriteTooMuch she has all the hallmarks of a "alone in 10 years" type. She already is blaming men for not being able to read her mind and know exactly what she wants. She posted examples of how these people approached her, broached topics, then asked if she would like to continue learning about each other, since a date does not mean that you are now in a committed relationship.
People like this also tend to have higher standards yet when you ask what they bring to the table. They call you out and call you sexist.
‘Make sure she’s interested first…’
That’s what they were trying to do.!
I love how people just can't say no like a normal person?... it needs to be this whole thing all the time.

Because when women tell men no, they get angry and even violent.

Yeah, after stuff like that happened to me a few times over the years, I can't help but wonder "how many such opportunities were missed, but I'll never know?"
Then I wondered, "how many times does this happen on average to people in general?" and "what would things be like if people could just know if they'd be a good match?"

I can see how it would be annoying to have to someone attracted to you and you not feel the same. As a man I can count on one hand the number of times I've been in that situation and it wasn't fun, wasnt the end of the world but wasn't fun. But at the same time, thats literally the only way you're going to get a date as man. You have to pursue first, its not gonna happen the other way around. Kind of frustrating on both sides I suppose. Its almost as if people are just puzzle pieces that don't fit. To quote Isaac Brock "Everyone's a building burning, with noone to put the fire out".
Someone strikes up a friendly conversation with you, and you think you're just two people having a friendly conversation, but at the end they ask you to buy this thing they're selling. They really, really want you to buy the thing, and if you say no, they get unpleasant up to and including being violent about it. How would you feel? How would you feel if it happened to you all the time?

What really enrages me is that women like this will then have the sheer audacity to turn around after a few years and ask where all the good men have gone, wondering why nobody asks them out anymore.
Oh, sweet cherubic summer child... Make better choices, and show some actual accountability for once in your entire spoiled existence. You told men to leave you alone, and we listened.
''If, despite all of this you want to ask a particular woman out, make sure she is interested romantically *first*, not just platonically''
So in other words ''read my mind to know if I'm interested in going on a date with you before asking me if I want to go on a date with you''. Because surely this is a perfectly balanced and thoughtful way to interact with people... The mere fact that such people go on to live long enough to become adults speaks to how thoroughly mankind has erased all the barriers of natural selection that would have normally prevented people from being this amazingly stupid.
The people who suggest men should make sure she is interested romantically first demonstrate zero knowledge and experience of how most people with a social circle and social skills communicate and interact with one another. And I say this as someone who is both introverted and lacks said skills.
I think it used to make sense back when cultures were very clear about how you should interact and communicate with potential mates, but now we live in a world where nothing makes sense so we have to play these stupid mind-reading games.
This isn't natural selection being erased. Its too short of a time frame for that.
Female logic,
The weird thing is these people might not even be asking the person out on a date but want to hang out in a setting where they have more time to get a better feel for the person.
Literally can't do that if the person doesn't give *some kind* of contact info and make a plan.
I admire your persistence in rejecting the blackpill and subsequent nihilism and social decay that follows it.
The reason you're seeing it leave the internet and get closer to real-life is because that blackpilled nihilism is spreading. There are many socioeconomic factors involved in it. One of which is the lack of men who make more than women since women are the majority of people in higher education now and are constitutionally hypergamous so tend to reach above and beyond their level and they're not finding many men to try to marry up to. Hypergamy floats so as their status increases so does the level of man they find acceptable.
Men are seeing that wages are flat for the last half century and prices of everything are up so rather than kill themselves chasing the already ate carrot at the end of a stick they're just maintaining a minimal level of living to get by which is possible if you pool resources with others on housing expenses.
So you have a huge divergence there. Imagine a basketball hoop 100 meters in the air. Most people wouldn't even bother throwing the ball.
I'll reject the nihilistic blackpill until the day I die. Life is unfair, and there's tons of tragedy, misery, heartache everywhere... but I'd rather be dead than live life as a miserable hopeless fk. I will fail, make a fool of myself, and make mistakes again and again and again. I will have governors gut bills I worked on for 7 years, eugenes who rip me off for $30k, companies that implode, relationships that fail, women who reject me, jobs I get fired from, but no permanent blackpill.
I think one of the reasons I loved the story of Final Fantasy 9 so much as a kid, was the entire game being this overarching story of rejecting hopeless nihilism.

Isn't asking someone on a date the same as checking if she's interested in him? I don't know how else people will check that without asking the person on a date, especially if it's someone you might never see again if you don't make a move right away. Maybe I'm just getting old. Back in my day, asking someone out on a date after a nice conversation was the way to check.
So get this, this happened about 12 years ago.

As soon as he showed it was a post from r/twoxchromosomes I knew we were in for some shit. It's truly misandry of the highest order there from what I've seen.
Too many people think all of life works like Burger King's slogan ("Have it Your Way"). They want things exclusively on their terms and think anything else is a crime.
Hear me out on this but I think I know why posts like these happen. I think a large part of this is how women in general have devalued sex. Back in the day, people just going on dates were very common, people just did them and then went home. The idea of "sex on the first date" was completely unheard of, so dates had a lot less pressure, it was just people spending one-on-one time with each other. Now fast forward to today where, sex on a first date is very common and almost a norm. It's no wonder why women hate being asked out all the time, because in their view, being asked out on a date is being asked out for sex. Dating is ruined by women not having stronger barriers for sex.
This is all just a "in the moment" theory and probably isn't 100% correct but I think it's something similar to this.
That is insane. Who changes gym hours over that?
Someone that has been brainwashed into thinking that all men are out to get them.
Ok, about 30 years ago I noticed a woman at the gym (very cute) who started showing up at the gym regularly on my schedule. I'd seen her previously, but not that often. At some point I realized that she was 1) ALWAYS on the weight machine directly opposite of me, and 2) she wasn't wearing any panties under her loose shorts, when I knew that previously she always had a pair on. I was getting a regular show of her unshaved glory several times per week for an hour or more and she never said a word or even looked me in the eye. This went on for weeks, and I just considered it a perk of the gym that a pretty young woman was indulging her exhibitionist streak with me. Prior to her I'd always gotten some interaction with the women that flashed me, even if it was just a smile or an "oops," even if was completely accidental. Studiously pretending that I wasn't even there despite the whole performance being just for me was somehow a key part of it all.
Then I screwed it up and said "Hi" to her at the desk on the way out. She bolted and I never saw her again. So, the answer to your question is "insecure crazy people."

@@TruthDoesNotExist Why? Because life has a tendency to push you towards what you are in need of at that moment anyways. No matter if you like it or not.
I ended up with a partner about a year after this comment, they found me. I just kept doing positive choices for myself, making the best out of what i have. Eventually someone took notice and wanted to be a part of it. I just accepted because it felt right.
I do not know what the future holds, but i am happy my choices put me where i am.
What ever happened to "No thanks...I'm not dating right now"? or "No...I got a boyfriend/girlfriend"?
I did a social experiment once, tallied the number of people who responded to a simple greeting while I was walking home from work. After recording the results for several hundred of these interactions, I calculated that men were likely to respond approximately 50% of the time with a similar greeting. Women responded less than 10% of the time. It just seems to be like that these days.
I did the same experiment 20 years ago. Numbers were even more spread out!
Before i asked her out, i worked with my girlfriend, got to know her, and decided to ask her out. The woman i asked before her (also got to know her), had a boyfriend, and to this day, despite being rejected, we are still cool.
According to this woman, getting to know someone, and trying to find out if they have similar interests, is a sign of desperation. How? You literally cannot know if someone is romantically interested, _until you ask them out._
It's one thing if the woman says no, and the man keeps pestering her after that. But other than that there is nothing wrong with asking.
unless she finally says yes and ends up marrying the guy. this happening to one of my friend's sisters. there is of course a difference between persistence and pestering.
o yea i kinda have personal experience with this as well.
i was in a year-long relationship with a girl who initially rejected me and changed her mind after she got jealous of my friends' wife 'flirting' with me. long story short people are weird and there are not really any rules to courtship.
there are bad actors so i would encourage everybody to be cautious. but don't turn that into paranoia.
@@alexweir1373 That's the thing. Sometimes "no" means "no" and sometimes it's "I want to see if you'll follow me into hell" but it's often very difficult, if not impossible to tell which is which.
Blackberry:"You're talking too much about dating. Now, give me your undivided attention."
I had always been under the impression that first dates were meant to gauge romantic interest in the first place!
To be fair, in that sense the proliferation of online video chat has kind of bypassed that purpose for dating.
If she'll call you every day, you don't need to make excuses to see her!
@@rabidchoco1 oh great, now you get recorded for evidence to be posted on reddit.... nooo thank you.
@@rabidchoco1Yeah, as I do with my fiancé. He doesn’t seem to mind though. 😂
The flip side of the coin is to ask why men face constant hostility from women. I almost never get far enough a date is remotely relevant and she's already hostile. It's soul crushing to not even be treated like a human being by strangers and colleagues that treat you as pathological just for your gender.
It's the law of the land for a reason. You must devalue yourself so that someone of finer clay can rule you or extract from you. Women lose the most as they become more dependent on other people.
I'm pretty sure because a few times in their lives some men were not just legitimate assholes, but scared the everliving shit out of them and now they have trauma.
That is not my problem, and to live in fear is the same as being a slave.
@@jasonblaha8918 there is no need to fear it. When you notice it, stop, don't take it personally because you know it's not about you, and appreciate that she's going through something in that moment. Let her know that you can see her trama and that it's all right. Invite her to talk about it.
It's only a problem if you get reactive and make it a problem.
@@Hyperwav3 Exactly. You just made your problem their problem. Trauma is not an excuse for bad behavior, but it is unfortunately a common predictor of it. Most abusers were abused themselves after all.
I was bullied quite intensely as a kid. Would that justify me being a brutish asshole to people now or being overly aggressive in non confrontational situations? No. I had to work through that and purge my mind of the bad habits I built as defense/coping mechanisms during that time. I'm not even saying it's easy, it's not. And it's something I'll have to do in some form likely for the rest of my life. But it is what it is. I can't change what was done to me in the past, but I can choose not to pass that onto anyone else in the future.
I say this because I used to be like that myself. An overly hostile and misanthropic asshole. And it made it harder for me to do anything social, so I eventually learned not to do that.
“Translation the guys were ugly and not good enough to ask me out “.
If these guys were good looking, this post wouldn’t exist 😂
You make sure by submitting woman acquisition form 420-69.
It's only something you can get from the basement of your local police department.
That's very depressing that nowadays craving connection with people is being demonized in public spaces. Some women just tend to ignore that humans are herd animal and relationships aren't all about sexual activity.
Asking someone on a date is very clearly leading towards sexual activity. I think you're really projecting on this one.
@@keithklassen5320 Not every activity that you ask someone out for is sex-oriented, neither it automatically becomes "date". Some people just ask people that they find interest to have occasion to know them better or have company to talk while doing something (going hiking, taking photos of random stuff in town or just walking). When you ask someone out, you don't know yet if with time you will become just friends, couple, or after all you'll decide that you don't match vibes and you will never see each other again. The whole point of asking someone out is to know them better. There's no possibility to know if someone is good material for partner if you don't know them, and even if you won't see each other again, it's a great occasion to exchange ideas and perspectives or just spend nice time with someone.
Attitudes like this are the reason why people seem to lose their virginity later and later. Dating these days seems awful for many people and since the rise of Instagram expectations seem outrageously high. This person literally discribed getting to know another person as bothersome which is so concerning to me. You can complain about declining birth rates but this is even worse. Like how are you gonna find happiness or socialize like that...beyond me, I agree she might have a deep seeded issue
"Attitudes like this are the reason why people seem to lose their virginity later and later."
*uhm nope. Guys are losing their virginity later because young females spend their early years only chasing the top guys*
@@realpainediaz7473 which is exactly what she implied
So basically, this woman's saying: Ugh, I can't believe these stupid males keep trying to continue the species.
Ya know, simplified a little, paraphrased if you will.😂
A few years ago, I was getting my haircut by a lady that I thought was, eh, I'd have considered asking her out. Except one day, she complained to me about a customer that did that. She was put off that someone would be so bold to ask her out to dinner and she thought it was rude.
I went home wondering how people are supposed to meet anyone these days.
This is why why cant have nice things... Social media gave massive audiences to so many random idiots. Thousands and thousands of random idiots who's collective influence on our society is somewhere between unhelpful and overwhelmingly negative. So, yeah... I don't see how this is gonna end well...
The type of content I've been waiting for.
"Where are all the good men?"
She rejected all of them in her prime years.
"Would you like to come see the Shostakovich concert"
Absolutely cultured.
This is why I’m going to die alone. Also because I’m undesirable, but at least somewhat because I don’t want to deal with it.
*hugs you*
It can be dangerous for even innocent guys ... I was on a city bus listening to podcasts on bluetooth and suddenly I notice this young woman seemingly talking to me .. I pull out an earpod and ask what's up? She starts complaining that I was staring at her ... Ha . Till you talked to me I hadn't noticed you. But she was insisting that I was creeping her somehow .. had to get loud on the bus . I told her to f off and went back to my podcasts... There isn't anything anyone can say to an accusation like that... Unless you are guilty then you could say sorry I suppose... But I didn't even see this woman till she was already angry at me.
Ah well m. It was an awkward but brief moment ... But what if her three big brothers had gotten on the bus?
All of this could be solved if single women would get together and create a universal symbol that shows everyone they are single and open to dating, like wearing a certain color ribbon or flower in their hair. Although this gets rid of their favorite turn down line of saying they are already seeing someone.
Sounds dystopian tbh
@@burekking1960 Why? You don't want clarity and less confusion? Women can choose when they are approached, and take it off when they don't want it.
Men will immediately know who is available. Men will also immediately know if their girl is cheating on them or trying to cheat on them if they are still wearing it.
@@remyllebeau77 Women don't want clarity or less confusion.
@@remyllebeau77 couldn't have them finding out, it's only wrong for guys to cheat...
@@remyllebeau77the thrill of the chase is the best part though.
Well at 37 I stopped dating 5 years ago and I've been much happier. Every aspect of my life has improved. I deny, block and ignore any women who try to be more than platonic, and let me tell you, most want more than just friendship. It's definitely not just a man thing.
I'm sure your wife is thrilled!
Jk don't take it wrong please
Yeah i hear that lol. Women are nuts, i man people in general are regardless of gender, not all of them but enough to turn me off from all the silly senseless drama that is the norm. They throw themselves at me so much it's a turn off. I've been 'sexually assaulted' (if there wasn't a double standard) more times than i can count. Half the women in this small town have either grabbed my ass or tried to lick my tonsils forcefully when nobody was looking and they all think they're the only one, i got my ass squeezed 3 times in an hour working a fancy wine tasting event. I've had women pants me in public and latch onto my D like a suckerfish , had to carefully pry jaws away a few times while people wake and drove by looking like WTF lol. Another time it happened i was with a woman, my arm around her talking to her and another girl did the same suckerfish trick. She's like WTF and by this point i'm just like "yeah, this always happens, excuse me" as i wrestled my stuff back from her and told her no. The weirdest stuff is when women give me their number in front of the guy they were just holding hands with. He looks all salty at me while she gushes over me and i just try to gtfo.
@@mrkosmos9421 lol good one.
Men age like wine. As we get more skills, more experience, and more assets/money, we get more attractive. (And having more years of working out and exercise doesn’t hurt) Meanwhile, women tend to rely on their youth and good looks and therefore age like milk.
In fact, women are most attractive the moment they hit 18- although it’s creepy for there to be a large age difference between two people who are dating. After they hit 18, it’s the roaring 20’s, but by 35, they hit the wall and it’s all downhill from there.
@@orppranator5230 My dude, you think you're spitting facts but just....no. This is not only objectively wrong, it's toxic as hell. I hope you can see why I think so as long as you're not a schmuck about it - it ain't you, it's just outdated stereotypes.
We got a future cat lady on our hands here, guys.
I've been wanting to say this for a while but notice how women are saying, "why can't I find a man who's interested in me?", not even realizing that she is not even emotionally or psychologically available to anybody except herself and even that is pushing it.
They have severe mental issues or personality issues preventing them from being vulnerable with anybody let alone being available to anybody else's interest. The only people I see being creeps about this are the actual women.
find out if she's romantically interested before finding out if she's romantically interested
otherwise you're a predator and she will try to delete herself from your life
on the one hand, if she does the disappearing, the problem solves itself...
and as a bonus you avoid getting trapped in her friendzone
At one point in this video I thought I was seeing a talking cat's arse and it has pretty much scarred me for this evening lol.
Women act like a simple question is harassment but I've legitimately been stalked and harassed by a few women in the past, with one of them being really bad. She approached me for the first time, and we had never spoken before that. She confessed her love to me before she could even ask me what my name was. I noped out of there as fast as possible cause all the alarms were blaring. She ended up somehow figuring out my full name, social media accounts, address, and phone number. When I got home after school that day, as well as every day for a long time after that, I had 150+ unread Facebook messages, and when I blocked that account, a new one would appear, and then I started receiving text messages, too. I was a loner in school and just kept to myself, I honestly don't know how she managed to get any information about me. And I did tell her I wasn't interested and that I just wanted her to leave me alone multiple times.
By the way, this isn't a flex at all. She was a horrible person and fairly unattractive as well.
These days, "I'm happily married with kids," tends to keep the crazies away, so there's that, at least.
People like this online are why I have extreme anxiety about asking people out on dates and generally a lot of stuff to do with relationships.
@@MrDarthtelos that's cap. Getting in the practice when it comes to approaching or asking random women out is invaluable. It simultaneously breeds a level of security in yourself & tempers you against rejection. There absolutely are benefits to it even as a practice, & considering this guy said he has anxiety over asking people out, getting practice with that very thing will do wonders for him long-term.
Everyone *knows* to pick themselves back up when they've fallen down, but few are able to put it into practice in the moment when it comes to mental battles.
Honestly, if they're as batshit as this chick, you're better off that they nope out up front and don't waste your time
@@MrDarthtelos I didn't say you need to, but you're telling the guy who says he has anxiety approaching women that he'll be better off just never doing it & that's straight cap my g. Your advice would fester his anxiety instead of conquering it. I could care less if he even goes out with any of the women he approached, but the act of approaching will absolutely help him with the anxiety he feels over this exact situation.
You have insecurities about your value which makes you fearful and gives you anxiety. That fear tells you stories. You hear women talk like this online and you use it to confirm your stories. Yes, some women like this exist and you will run into them. It's not a good reason to hide from your insecurities and prevent you from getting what you want from women and life. You are worthy and deserve to get what you want. If you work through your insecurity you can go after and get what you want.
This shit ain't rocket appliances. Have some self awareness of yourself. Improve yourself how you can, where you think others might find you weird/unattractive. You're likely gonna get shot down 99% of the time if you take the boomhauer approach. Get some hobbies, interests, etc. Go out and interact with people in places where both genders are running around. Be casual and genuinely interested in those you talk with, and broach the subject of dating later. Learn to find comfort in being alone. You'll value being with someone more that way. The issue I see nowadays is people care about only what they want, instead of building actual relationships. That's why you see more people like this. They're looking for the perfect one, and they don't exist, so stop trying.
All you have to do is say no and move on. If being asked out is really so oppressive for a person then I'd assume they don't know what a real problem is.
As people get older and the odds for a family happening get lower, the resentment will grow between men and women. A lot of it is coming from millenials right now. It will continue to get worse, and the more recent generations are about to get to a point of being even worse.
When people no longer understand or accept the difference between the two sexes, then it stands to reason that the divisiveness will continue to grow.
This is the internet Louis. By definition the shit rises to the top.
You have to run these scenarios through a translator for woman speak. What she and other women mean is they're upset the man didn't look like *insert current heartthrob*.
It depends, when you don't have experience in dating it is higher chance that the young women reject even the current "heartthrob" because they are much to shy to "dare" it.
Been married twice and never asked anyone on a date. It never felt natural to do that so I didn't.
ya asking a girl to date her after 10 years blew up in my face- she ghosted me and then called the cops on me
we should have a review system for girls so we can blacklist for doing crazy things
