    And if a man is nice to a woman, or other men, people think he wants to sleep with them. So we should all be mean to each other just to be safe, because that’s easier than changing our collective attitudes towards men, sexuality, and men’s emotions.

    Uh… Bitch…? Sorry had to throw that in there just in case.

    As a woman I have to say this is true. If you smile there will be at least one “funny” or “nice” message in the end of the day

      As a man neither me nor my friends to my knowledge ever texted, messaged or try to communicate with a woman just because she smiled, laughed or joined the conversation in any way. However I’ve met with many delusional women whom thought men responding to them in a normal manner because of their early communication as a sign of those men attracted to them, trying to hook up etc… This being said, I know for a fact that there are also delusional men around whom would think you’re giving signals even though you’re not. However that’s not the standard nor they are a majority, neither men nor women. If you’re finding yourself in such an environment then you should realize you’re not in a healthy environment nor the people around you are normal.

        There are always exception but women live in constant fear. We can’t know if you are a nice guy or a “nice guy” and so we build a wall. There are FOR SURE pscyco women as there are men, and good people also exist, the fact is that being a woman is already dangerous in the world we live in. As a woman I tend to stay professional and serious in enviroments that I don’t want attention because I had very bad experiences with co workers before. I can’t be rude or mean, it’s not even who I am, but I have to be stone face.

        Also, I’m old. Maybe the new generation of men are better and things will be better for the young girls

        edit: I’m in my phone, in a car,.with no glasses so sorry for any mistakes lol

          I understand that the world we live in is dangerous for women and children. I also respect your personal experience. In the end I can’t change what you experienced and you can’t change mine. I’m just against making a generalization and classifying people as one or another. In the end we are products of our environment and any generalisation we make is the result of what we know/experienced instead of being objective. As for the age I don’t agree with it but I also acknowledge that times are changing and our values changing with it.

          I wish you well and I hope that you’ll have better experience and be happy. Take care, stay safe and healthy.

    Phew the comments here. Chill out people, it’s a meme. And seeing the new “alpha-male” era we are in, she’s not wrong.

    Ha jokes on you I’m too autistic to know if you are being mean or not. Now do you want to hear me ramble about random shit for two hours straight till I stop because physically can’t talk anymore? There is only one answer and you don’t have a choice, this ain’t Fallout 1.

    I have those random realisations on the theme of ‘hey that woman who was on my sofa last month wanted to have sex with me’

    Make sure you’re really mean else I may not notice.

      I have those random realisations

      I definitely have moments when I wonder if I could have played my cards better. But I’ve also catastrophically misread interactions and embarrassed myself to the point where we just stopped talking to each other entirely.

      Also been friends with someone who doggedly insisted “We’re just friends”, then decided she wanted me one night, then insisted it meant nothing and she just wanted to be friends again. shrug

      Romance just be like that sometimes.

      Even worse, “hey that woman has given me no signals whatsoever but I think she’s hot so who knows, she might want to sleep with me, let’s escalate and find out, what’s the worst that can happen”

      You think you’re cooking with this reverse meme, but you’re actually doing “where is my straight pride” bullshit. People do live like that. On average, men are already like that.

    I hate when a woman is mean to me for doing something nice like holding the door because she thinks I want to sleep with her. No ma’am, I don’t. I was just being nice. My wife has all that other stuff covered.

      Sad thing is that having a spouse doesn’t at all stop a hell of a lot of people. To be clear, I’m not saying this is limited to men…all genders do this. I’ve personally never understood why. If you don’t want to be with your significant other, break up with them. It’s a zillion times worse to betray their trust and intimacy and then break up anyway when they find out.

      I’m just happy that around me, everyone just holds doors for everyone else, regardless of gender. Guys hold open doors for guys. Girls hold open doors for guys. It’s not weird.

          It’s was weird hearing the “debates” about where or not men should still open doors for women in an equal society when the obvious solution was for everyone to hold doors open for everyone else. Are you at the door first? Hold it open. Is the other person’s hands full? Hold it open.

    I’m a little mean to bitches because if you treat them like women they think they can be mean to you.
