How many times do men have to point this out?
FALSE
ACCUSATIONS
FORCED
PENETRATION
BEING
POSTED
RECORDED
AS A CREEP
"A lie repeated 1000 times becomes the truth."
-Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister of 3rd Reich
Focusing on Not Z extremism is losing the plot.
However, any lie (s) repeated 1000 times is how to sway a nation!
The article should say "why are women not being punished for what are clearly lies and false accusations?"
With phone records, video evidence, college dorm sign in records, CCTV at the bar, etc etc.
Why is it the men who are lesser than for adjusting to AVOID A HAZARD?
At this point consent withdrawn AFTER the fact is a repetitive behavior.
Even the Duke Lacrosse girl finally came out after 10/15 years (math) and admitted she lied.
That entire team had their lives destroyed. 🧐🫠
Oops my bad, I fibbed, little white lie 🧐
It should have gotten just as much attention as the "scandal".
Men have a sensitive pair of reproductive organs between their legs. While opening our legs to AVOID CRUSHING OUR BALLZ. Feminists label this as man spreading.
"You're taking up too much space"
Apparently we're equal?
But the media and women are tip-toeing around the elephant in the room.
There are absolutely 0 consequences for women lying about being sexually assaulted. Recently I've heard of a few women getting sentenced to years in jail after lying.
However.
Justice, society, feminism, equality, media, and females are way way way behind on this.
By accident? 🧐
Women claim to be equal. 🧐
Marching in the street, loud and proud. (not gay proud)
But they're not responsible for blatant lies that destroy men's lives. 🧐
Then men are lesser than?
We're "intimidated", "sassy", gay, you must like men, you're acting like females. We're afraid of rejection?
Awe you stupid, simple men, we're equal, but we'll never apologize or even acknowledge the behavior.
Just come back, oh shux, why aren't men approaching? 🧐
What a mystery.
What happening? Let's talk about it over mimosas while we blame the entire thing on men. 😇
Lol.
I'm just man-splaining. Haha.
We adjusted.
Keep it up society.
Keep tolerating The fucking obimination.
Other than that, I'm not afraid of rejection. 99.9% of people just won't be with you. A good many will say no for whatever reason.
Building attraction is best, then filtering.
There's steps to take for the risks. But other than that, not scared of anything lol.
Honestly, if there's genuine attraction, it happens mutually. In my experience, I didn't even have to approach my ex we both showed mutual interest, which is how we ended up dating and staying together for four years!
They are insecure and paranoid about being labeled a creep or facing some kind of sexual assault accusation, even though that is one in a thousand, if that kind of thing.
Men need to stop taking advice from equally delusional, insecure men and then they may actually get somewhere.
Right and at some point they have to man up. This paranoia and insecurity is very annoying
The same is true for women with regard to actually being assaulted. Humans aren't very rational.
As to "They have to man up." No, we don't. You have the government to take care of you now, we literally do not need to man up and women are not entitled to a society of "manly" men (You aren't entitled to a society at all to be honest, and unlike men, women will not survive without it. That is going to be a scary experience for many in a decade or two).
@Smegskull you're overthinking this. No woman is going to cry assault if you haven't assaulted her. If you smile at her or compliment her in the store she's either receptive or not. As long as you're not creepy about it
@Smileygirl2000
"No" woman? Better petition the court to undo all the false accusation based defamation cases then. It happens. Just like assault happens. It is unlikely, just like assault is unlikely.
Here's the problem with the statement that you're making, everyone has a different matrix that they're measured by. I'm not insecure, I made a living by living on selling face to face on commission only for 20 years. I know how to read people really well. I'm not an attractive guy so I have to use my personality and charm and persona to win people over. The problem with that is, people have to let me talk for a minute first, so the first look at me isn't that of lovely appeal from women it's a kind of shock, and almost intimidation, not because of being handsome, but because I'm a bit scary looking, from what I've been told, by not only other people but my own mother. Here's the thing, Once you get to know me a bit, I become someone you really like, I have that way about me, but the initial reaction isn't that. So, when I approach people, they usually think I'm the scary nightmare character and they want to run away. So the defense mechanism goes up, and they can get shitty with me. Most of the time, it's a sharp, no thank you, or no, I have a boyfriend or no, I'm involved with someone. Sometimes though i have gotten the rude woman that says something shitty to me, and that's not insecurity, that's real. Of course, the average dude probably doesn't have to deal with that. I saw a post about women being approached by guys at a bar and if they would like it, and a post from a woman said, because only women were allowed to comment, if the guy is attractive I like it, if he isn't I'll tell him to go away, and that's how it is with most women, that's the truth. That was from a woman, not an insecure guy.
i never got it either tbh. if i know im gonna be rejected or there's a high chance, id just not go there lmao
🤣🤣
Right like why bother to approach if you're going to chicken out? Men are getting annoying

I dont think I have any fears when it comes to that rejection isn't a bad thing and if a girl rejects you there's always a reason and it's probably not what you're thinking so if it's not meant to be it's not meant to be there's nothing you can do about it
I look at it like this if unturned down Quote unquote rejected It just means that that person is not for me and there's something better waiting
Some may think the biggest fear is getting rejected, but that's what happens most of the time.
The biggest fear is that she says Yes. Then I have to perform, take it to the next step.
Many people would agree with you but the new norms are not making this a blanket true statement for how all women want to be approached. The new social media shaming some younger women partake in (I know not all of course) make it confusing for guys. They're not worried about rejection as much as they are being labeled a creep for just trying to show interest or ask you out and then having or broadcasted in tiktok that you're harassing them. For me I don't care lol. I'm polite and if you act really rude to me over it, I just apologize, move on, and count my blessings I'm not with a person that behaved so poorly.
I also, don't hit on people in bars. Alcohol being involved is a no no way to meet a girl for me. I try to meet people through friends and gatherings with friends where alcohol is not involved.
This all being said from a much older age than you lol. I think younger people are more nervous because of the things I've stated like being labeled a creep. My younger male friends tell me girls aren't always super approachable while out and you can be good intentioned. I can't speak for them. I say who cares that girl is not worth your time but you gotta try as long as you're not being rude or a creep for real which men are also known to be at times.
In 2026 though it's ok for you to approach a guy and if you're hesitant because it's hard to do or you're nervous at the thought about it... well welcome to what men have felt for 1000 years lol. The ones that suffer unfortunately are the good men and the good women lol. I say just shoot your shot, have thick skin, and move on if it's a no. Always be nice and you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Longest answer ever lol
m I avoid "approaching" women because it frames me and her in an artificial scenario I find cringe.
Instead I just socialize with them, normally, and if these discussions feel nice over time then sooner or later, each of us will find ways to signal mutual interest in a more obvious way...
That's actually really nice. I'm usually thrown off when a man approaches so I'm at a loss of words. Especially since they normally approach when I'm distracted.
I was also thrown off the few times I've been approached, so I think your response to approach is perfectly normal lol
Yeah so I don't know I could possibly come off as "uninterested" which a man may see as rejection. Yet I'm actually trying to process things in real time
You could come off as that, or not, you won't know what's right and wrong I guess. And if a man, or a woman expects a natural reaction in an unnatural situation, then I'd say it's their problem lol
Well here's the thing, sometimes a woman can reject gently but sometimes they can be rather harsh about it. It's difficult though cuz many times men don't take a gentle "no" for an answer and continues to pressure on.
But that being said, somehow when a person is rejected it can feel that the rejection comes "because he/she is not good enough".
But it could be simply "cuz you're not his/her type". Some like oranges, others like apples.
The reason many times that a guy will still approach is simply because the attraction is higher than the fears. But the fears are still in there.
Not that I'll be told no, I'm so used to that, being told no is just the norm, its when someone says yes that it's almost shocking, its the way they say no, not just the polite, no thank you, but when they go into making it personal to why. Just tell me no, and go about your business, you can even add, I have a boyfriend, that's fine if you need to feel like you need to validate your no, just don't go into why you wouldn't go on a date with me. That's not an unrealized fear, it's happened quite often. NO, get out of my face, why do you think I would want to go anywhere with you, egh. after you say hey, can I take you to get some coffee. I used to say about buying a beer, but that's just dumb, you buy her a beer trying to offer a beer for a minute of her time, but all she does is take the beer and ignores you.
Men aren't afraid, there's just no point in it. Relationships are a net negative in a man's life. It costs us money, time, and our freedom, and we get nothing from them. Further more Relationships are a huge liability. They can destroy you financially, and a false accusation can land you in prison.
On another note don't you ladies always complain most men aren't worth your time. Seems to me leaving the approaching up to the ladies solves the problem of sorting through all those "unworthy men"
I haven't heard any married men say this. Lol maybe it's the women you're choosing and your outlook
Married men won't go talk to some divorced men you'll get a clearer picture
@captain_voidwalker because married men have a healthier mindset and view on relationships. They're not damaged
Almost all men, except those few with a history of almost never being rejected, go through this when asking a woman out for the first time. No man enjoys the feelings that they get just before doing this and getting the woman's verdict, but then again, no man enjoys being lonely, and no man enjoys being sexually frustrated. So, in order to solve the problems and the discomfort of being lonely and sexually frustrated, (frustration tends to get chronic) We go through the discomfort of having to deal with a woman for the first time because at least that ends fairly quickly one way or the other. Given the fact that most women would rather sit home alone or spend time out with their girlfriends rather than ask again out, we don't have a lot of choice in the matter.
I'm married, but occasionally pay compliments to women I encounter. I'm careful not to appear like I am expecting anything in return. Occasionally it results in a short conversation. If I were available and the woman were close to my age I would suggest continuing over coffee or whatever. The men who are afraid to initiate a conversation are the men who don't have any women friends.
Men are not as desperate as they use to be. They see how all these women online bragging about humiliating a man having him come out and buy them dinner only for him to reject him.
The women that are actually interested in him will want to just come to his place and chill or go for a walk in the park.
When do all the things that they are told will get them a woman they realize if the women really wanted him he wouldn't have to spend a dime on a date.
Approaching someone you're interested in isn't desperate. You need deep therapy. You're traumatized no offense but you are. I have not seen or read anything about anyone humiliating men info buying dinner just to reject them. Maybe stop engaging with those types of negative people
The biggest fear for me is being rejected in a cruel way that its humiliating. For example being called a freek or pervert or creep by a girl.
Some woman these days have no manors whatsoever and they dont realise that men have feelings aswell
Who cares if you get rejected. There's another out there that'll be receptive. And of course I hope she responds positively. I don't think people are approaching others in hopes of being rejected unless they are trying to get over the fear of being. But approaching won't harm or kill you, so do it.
@Smileygirl2000 My biggest fear is that after I get to know her, I won't want to continue with her for some reason. Bad habits, tattoos' that I did not see in the beginning, drinking too much. etc
That's just a risk you'll have to take how else will you date if you're overthinking before hand?
@Smileygirl2000 Very true, and the same for her maybe rejecting me later for some reason.
@Smileygirl2000 One of the prettiest women I have ever gone out with, I found later was an alcoholic. I have to leave her as alcohol in my family caused absolute hell with me father
Sadly, she called me several years later from Florida, and was in AA after a DUI accident that almost killed her daughter
Yeah that's devastating and after being hurt you don't want to take a chance again. I've been there too
That's a load of crap. A very small percentage of men fear rejection, and it's mostly just inexperienced men. The real reason more and more men are no longer approaching is because they have smartened up- and know that the overwhelming majority of western women are not worth the hassle
You don't speak for all men and secondly there is a great batch of western men who are married to western women. So what's your excuse? Those men are confident, charisma, successful and not insecure. Quit blaming everyone else and take a look on the mirror.
It was not only fear of rejection it was also the fear that she would tell all her friends ablut it and they all would make fun of me. I cannot beleive how much I used to care what others think.
Let me put it this way: if I don't get any positive signals from a woman I find attractive, I won't go over and talk to her. If I can foresee that it’s going to end badly, there’s no point in going over to talk.
I like this comment
Being labeled a creep or worse false sexual assault accusations.
Wow this is so sad.
That's the reality of dating these days for men. I partly blame modern feminism which convinced women that men are bad and therefore should be feared and hated.
Men have experienced impact in their workplace from approaching women outside of the workplace.
Consequences and risk start out weighing rewards/gains.
My biggest ''fear'' nowadays is, that it isn;t a woman :D
Beyond this, there's no ''plan'' - just go with the flow and see where it leads to.
"But why approach if you're scared? I'm genuinely confused by this. Shouldn't the man take the lead when he approaches?"
Seriously? YOU are the problem.
You're anonymous your insecurities are the problem. Get the help that you need whimp
Nothing much really. Some women turn you down some don't. It's not the end of the world and makes little difference.
u I don't have any fear
but I'm not inadequate like that
NOWADAYS the only fear I have is that she could have a pickle or once had one.
She will lie to the police and have me put in jail.
I will not approach women any more. First of all as a 60 year old, where do you meet people? And second I don't like being laughed at. I have not been on a date since I was 23.
The fear of being belittled or embarrassed by her
I tend to play the hunted better than the hunter.
I don't have fears anymore. I have no problem approaching a woman or complimenting her if the situation is appropriate
What is my biggest fear? That her husband/fiancé will appear out of thin air!
Here it is just outright illegal to approach so prison
We don’t want criminal charges or get sued for sexual harassment. We like having our jobs
It's not really a fear of mine, but some women are just unnecessarily mean when rejecting guys.
You either get to be with her or you don't. What's scary about that
Being eaten by a female black widow
Not scream,"R*pe!!!"
So how do you expect to meet a woman or date if you don't approach? And if you do approach her what are you hoping she'll say that will give you the green light to ask her out?
She'd have to appear sensible as well as buxom, hot and girly.
She can still scream rape. What does this have to do with personality? Focus on being less shallow and maybe just maybe you'll meet someone that doesn't cry rape.
I would fear rejection.
that she has a sexual disease
Being rudely rejected
always the fear of rejection
I am confident never felt any kind of fear.
