Why does it seem like everything is a competition with other males?

[Anonymous]

So I noticed wherever I go guys will attempt to stare me down trying to intimidate me which never works. They always look away first or I’ll establish eye contact and look away slowly NEVER dropping my head. some will even try and cut me off on purpose or stand in my way on purpose so I’ll have to walk around them. I’m decently handsome 6’4 and I work out I’m kinda cut/ lean and I even notice guys watching me at the gym when they think I’m unaware. I run into a lot of guys being passive aggressive towards me which has caused me to have anger issues but when call them out they’re either scared to fight or cowards all together trying to act like a victim. Some women will even do weird shit to get my attention like being rude or attempting to bully me which is laughable coming from a women. It just annoying and frustrating at this point and has changed my personality all together I’m more aggressive I’ve noticed. It’s like guy will literally attempt to annoy or bother me for no reason.

I think guys identify guys that are big and they KNOW are typically passive people. And then they get all puffed up in front of them. Because it's a way of looking tough in front of somebody bigger than them without actually ever risking anything. Occasionally they misjudge the wrong guy though and that guy hands them an a** whooping. 🤣

I stopped being passive for that exact reason guys will see me as a threat for no reason at all

I just chuckle man. If they need to flex and feel all big and bag let them, that's what I say.

It’s a thing for sure. I don't know if there’s any point to playing these games. People will always find a reason to be jealous or feel threatened

Thank you for understanding my point I noticed the two ladies commenting don’t understand because most women tend to be passive or just unaware of what’s going on around them

[Asker]

that’s why I try to ignore them and let ‘em have it until physical contact is mad at any point

Both genders are oblivious to the other’s social subtleties

Everything about this statement screams that YOU’RE the problem😂

Not to mention vain and arrogant lol good lord.

How would I be the problem if I’m naturally introverted I literally don’t bother any one or talk unless talked to

If every time you go out you’re running into an issue with someone, to me that says you’re the problem. Then it’s like an implication that everyone is jealous or something by mentioning your looks and height or whatnot lol like man.

[Asker]

Not to be disrespectful but y’all are women so you might not really be aware or understand what I’m talking about

[Opinion Owner]

It’s not even just about being a woman because women can do the same thing, it’s just general self awareness that you probably lack. How is it there wherever you go (which to me says it’s a daily occurrence, unless you have days where you don’t leave the house), men stare you down, try to intimidate you, act passive aggressive, bully you, obstruct your movements, etc, and at no point you ask yourself if you are doing something wrong, I. E lacking self awareness. If it were every once in a while then I could totally get on board with that, I experience it as well. But it’s the frequency that you mentioned which tells me that you should look inward.

Nobody bullies me it’s more like passive aggressive behavior but like I said you wouldn’t understand women view things differently if you know what it means to assert dominance you should understand

The word I used to describe your “daily interactions” came from you and what you wrote. You used the word bully, so I put it in there. No I’m not a man but I’ve grown up with and was raised around plenty of male figures and none of them are going through what you mention every single day. My current boyfriend is 6’6, plays basketball on a professional level and has no problem getting women but he isn’t getting picked on every day whenever he goes out lol but hey if that’s what you’re experiencing and don’t even think of questioning if you’re the problem at the very least in some situations then I guess a bit of delusion can be a comfort zone as well.
