Let me add this, there's a push to not only reject a man now but it's also a trend going to creep shame him and also embarrass him to show how strong and confident a woman is.

I'm only going to ask out someone I'm attracted to. I'm not attracted to people I haven't interacted with, I don't understand how there can be attraction to someone you don't have any chemistry with. Good looking people are a dime a dozen, its not a big deal. So I have zero desire, reason, or incentive to just walk up to some random stranger that happens to be good looking. Why would I? That's not enough. It never has been enough.

If we happen to be at an event where its clear we have something in common, and I'm talking to people, I'll talk to anyone, young or old, male or female.

Because everyone is too concerned with their "safe zones" to give or receive in either direction.

Nobody is willing to give anyone the time of day anymore and asking for another's time is seen as rude if not prompted to give beforehand.

It's not a gender issue per-say, it's a societal issue where in we have been taught to fear people we do not know and that their intentions when presented have the high probability of only being for no good or to take advantage.

We are taught from an early age about predators and to fear the unknown and how we should act while in public spaces to protect against becoming a victim of those who would do harm against others.

It's literally a trust no one circumstance, Everyone is a potential threat.

The end result is everyone runs off and creates their own little tribes to validated these fears and insecurities they have and to try to attempt to make sense of them and prevent themselves from feeling such things again.

For all the advances we have made in other fields and ways, it's a good reminder we are all still animals at the end of the day

I don't think their fathers ever talked to them how to befriend women and build rapport.

Well, according to the other thread on this fantastic sub, ALL men are attacking women who don't take kindly to their advances. So they're probably all scared of how they'll act when the woman rejects them and they can't control the violent fits of rage that flows through their bodies like an electric current. Women, you've been warned. The evil men are out to get ya! Run!!!!!!!!!!!

Their father's probably weren't around at all. I think it's a problem nowadays that a lot of men don't have male role models to teach them these things.
