Just asking because read many comments on reddit about this thing being said by various men.

There is a guy who lives in my apartment complex. I met him through a neighbor that is my friend. I figured he was good people since he knows her. Long story short he has my number because we were all talking stocks outside thought it would be cool to continue to convo. Anyways, months later he talks about taking me out , and me cooking for him, and dating him (i ignore these text). No offense but he's not attractive. He's not healthy at all. He's overweight, works 60+ hours a week, his belly is big , there is no wow factor about him.
On top of that he's a cheapskate and liar. He said my employer pays my rent. Then he goes on to say I'm not moving anywhere unless my rent is $900. Like 🤣 what delusional cheapskate world is he in? Second , why does it matter if his job pays the rent like he says? He goes oh oh I know im just cheap. Why be cheap if you don't have to pay the rent like you say. I smell a liar.

I couldn't pursue my crush for two years because of workplace consequences. But we would jam and play music together every week. In June, I told him I was leaving. A while later, he invited me to his music recital. About a week later, we said bye and I told him I would be at his recital. I waited anticipatedly and anxiously. For some reason I felt like this recital would be a turning point for us. I bought a big gift and I just waited for the day. Sometime last month I sent him an email but didn't receive a reply, even though he usually replied. I don't have his number but he has mine. Today was finally the day. After his first song, we got to go to the stage to hand flowers and gifts to the performers, so I gave him the large gift I had prepared. He seemed happy/surprised I'd come. Maybe he didn't need me to be there... Once the show was all over, he came to my seat to chat with me. It seems there was some miscommunication about my leaving the workplace, and he thought I'd simply disappeared. Clearly, he'd also missed my email. His family then came to us, and I greeted them. His parents, grandmother, and brother (who also performed.) I wanted to talk to him more, but I didn't want to disturb family time. We bumped into each other outside later again, and we kind of kept looking at each other as we left in different directions, him with his family. Just now I emailed him the pics from the performance, writing that he was great and looked cool. Sadly, I don't have his number. How am I supposed to proceed from here? I don't even know if he thought of me at all till today.

So my boyfriend and I went up north for the week, we live an hour away from each other. I live closer up north and he lives more south. So i had a prior commitment to do before we head up north and his original plan was for me to come down to his place and then he would drive.

The way it was located where we were going didn't make sense for me to go up and down again since the next day we come back home i had to go back down south a little for something.

My idea was for him to come up to me then ill drive up north. He was fine with my idea and me driving until he said no no ill drive so i can show you the route.

Last minute he texts me and he said that the more he thinks about it , its going to do damage to his car with the milage and suggested for me to come down to his place and he "will drive" .

He ended up coming to my place and i drove us up north but i can't help but be annoyed about that..

I’ve heard from friends that when they were in high school in the early 2010s they got approached a lot more than they do now or even after me too started to gain prominence, after Weinstein and the Stanford rapist.

men, do you approach women less or more than you did prior to these events. I’ve heard from some guy friends they are more careful when flirting and talking to women but even when they’re talking to other men about women nowadays

Just vote what you think looks/seems to be the better choice.

Thank you for voting!
