Talking to a female friend made me realise just how clueless they are about men.

They genuinely dont realise how touch starved the average man genuinley is.

She was going on about how she saw a cute guy in a book store today and he had a shirt on of the same anime she likes. I asked why she didnt approach him and she said she didnt want to be rude and interrupt him or get rejected.

For context shes a decent looking girl.

I was genuinley like wtf, women really dont realised how much that would have genuinley made a guys day for her to go up to him, even if it didnt end up going anywhere

>decent looking girl
Well decent looking could be some other guys ugly. She played it safe

>>81523170 (OP)
>she didnt want to be rude and interrupt him or get rejected.
this is a valid take though, yeah it might have made the guys day, but she also didnt know if he was single or not, was gay, not looking or not in the mood to talk etc.

i get your concept in theory but shes not wrong for not wanting to interrupt someones day

>They genuinely dont realise how touch starved the average man genuinley is.
Wrong. Being a NEET is not the average man. Normies have cars, girlfriends, friends, jobs, hobbies.
Your life is not everybody's life and your echo chamber is deluding you

Define average man here, because the average man might be lonely yes, but not touch starved.

Either way I agree she should have give it a shot, but also if shes not comfortable thats fair

Women will say this then wonder why theyre single BITCH YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE

>i get your concept in theory but shes not wrong for not wanting to interrupt someones day
She treated others how she wants to be treated, clearly doesnt want to be randomly hit on so she did the same

I respect it

In my country it's seen as extremely creepy to just walk up to strangers and start talking to them.
Though in response to OP, having female friends is cringe.

>>81523170 (OP)
>she didnt want to be rude and interrupt him or get rejected
Translation: approaching is the man's job and this guy failed to do it
>women really dont realised how much that would have genuinley made a guys day
The kinds of guys they like do not care. YOU are touch starved. Abusechad is sick and tired of women. Don't project.

>In my country it's seen as extremely creepy to just walk up to strangers and start talking to them.
its weird regardless if its a man or woman doing it, OPs friend clearly has better social awareness than OP

In what world is she dense here, sorry but youre genuinley thick if you think she was wrong to not approach someone she thought was cute.

She acted like a normal person

>>81523326
>youre genuinley thick if you think she was wrong to not approach someone she thought was cute
How the fuck else are you supposed to get a gf/bf?
Are you a woman because your reply is so out of the world stupid?

>>81523228
>Either way I agree she should have give it a shot
but why? a book store isnt exactly ideal dating place

>>81523356
No but women rant all the time about not wanting to be approached when just out in public

So the friend didnt approach someone in public

She had valid reasonings to not approach someone she didnt know. Clearly didnt know if the guy wanted it or not

>>81523370
When is a good time to approach then?
What should someone do to get a gf/bf?

Dating apps have successfully inserted themselves into popular culture as the mandatory middleman between single men and women. You are fighting against a multibilliondollar conglomerate every time you try to talk to women some other way. Either bend the knee or accept the possibility of becoming the horror story some femoid tells her therapist.

>>81523543
there are so many situations where its more appropriate, a bar, dating app, social events

do you genuinley believe the friend wasnt right in not making a move

>>81523326
Normal people are retarded.

It sucks that a girl acts normal but the reason OP wants to call her out is not to wonder why not approaching strangers is normal, but to picture his coomer scenario where a girl touches him and apparently he cooms because he's so touch starved. Creepy shit.

>>81523170 (OP)
You also don't get it, women are generally anti-confrontational and passive, they don't want to initiate anything, they want the guy to come to up them and initiate.
>or get rejected
is the key part here.

>>81523642
So? the friend was a pussy for not saying anything

she missed her shot, now she has to deal with it

cry louder, she does what she wants, you do what you want, dont stress about her life

>>81523170 (OP)
You live in a fantasy world if you think women approach men..

It would only make your day if shes conventionally attractive lets be real. Most women arent so most women should not approach men.

>>81523170 (OP)
Most men are actually doing fine and have relationships.

>>81523206
>but she also didnt know if he was single or not, was gay, not looking or not in the mood to talk etc.
Well there's an obvious way to find out.

>>81523170 (OP)
>she didnt want to be rude and interrupt him
Those are excuses for
>get rejected
Women can't have their fragile ego shattered.
>Men have to have really fragile egos for not approaching wome-
There have been enough women that make a scene when you do that it isn't worth it. There is a difference between a "no thanks" or "I'm busy" versus putting someone on blast in public.

>There is a difference between a "no thanks" or "I'm busy" versus putting someone on blast in public.
I could take a 'no thanks' or something similar but I still wouldnt wanna ruin someones day or bother them, so I understand where OPs friend is coming from

>>81523822
Men have always been the pursuers. Why would it be any other way? Only loser men want to be asked out by girls. This is a fact
