The scenario just isn't making any sense and more and more caveats are being put in, to the point that it's really just nonsense (sorry, OP).

Also, non-violent animals can be very complex, particularly those who live in groups. Just wanted to.add that, because that was incorrect.
It's the OP who has it wrong. It's not that the men aren't approaching women, because they don't care about women. They're not approaching due to low self-esteem that leads them to think no women are interested, or due to shyness, or they've lost confidence after struggling socially in high school, or whatever. So when a woman does approach them, they tend to assume she's only being platonically friendly, but if a woman persists, they may be relieved to realize she's really into them. The OP is indulging his fantasy, that the men are indifferent to women, which is an erroneous belief on his part.

Right. The guys who come up with these scenarios obviously have never been approached by women, nor have their friends. So in their world, it would be something revolutionary, for women to do that.

It would never happen because if Coconut or I were faced with no competition we would be odd men out, and we would still keep approaching desirable women.

All your woman are belong to us!

(That's a pun on "Engrish" in the old Japanese SF game: Zero Game.)
Lmao! this thread (like many others) is a beacon for bitter guys to chime in on.

I get it! For the average man (like myself) getting laid isn’t easy, but damnit! some of you guys can be so embarrassing. Just stop already, Lol. These “what if women did this so I can get laid” threads are silly, Lol.

It's revolutionary in that if you look at whole of human history women didn't approach men. Of course, approaching itself is new in and of itself. Dating as we know it is a modern thing. Women have been approaching men for at least 30 years now. Maybe even longer than 30 years as I am just going off my dating experience which only goes back that far. When I did OLD, all my dates were when the woman approached.



I'd say if you are a man and haven't been approached 1) You aren't paying attention/don't notice it or 2) There is something about the way you present yourself (in person or online) that keeps women away or 3) You don't socialize a lot (or you limit your interactions to other men/a limited circle of people).

I get approached online, but super super super (every few years) IRL. It's not a common thing for even most good looking guys I know (yes, including the one's that are pretty aware of such things and realize "approaching" by most women is fundamentally different from how men do it).


(And no, I'm not including me in the good looking camp. I am not.)

The problem is not if all men stop approaching it’s if you throw enough stones only mr right will stop approaching

So since you can't have it both ways.. its those women's fault they got "played".

Its either both or neither. Which do you agree with?
I feel if an individual keeps encountering the same problem over and over again, 9 times out of 10 they're the problem. This goes for men and women. No need to paint everyone else with a broad brush because they can't figure out how to make things work for them.

A little self responsibility goes a long way.

I'm noticing that almost every thread in CDR eventually turns to pisss and vinegar.
I imagine that you can't keep Incel's confined to Reddit and their own little special forums. They want to be where the women are too to vent their anger and rage. It's an online thing for sure and a few of them go on a real life killing rampages like Elliot Rogers.

However, all it takes is ONE. That 1 out of 10 to be attracted. Ever consider that?
