[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting how it says men are afraid to talk to women in public because #metoo and a guy talking to a strange woman in an elevator or at a bookstore would be seen as creepy. That's too bad -- I met many women that way when I was single. Barnes and Noble in Georgetown on a Friday evening was a great place to be![/quote]

I question that exaggeration.  I have never experienced that in dc and don’t know any of my single friends that have.0[/quote]

What exaggeration? The article specifically states that women said they'd find it creepy if a guy in an elevator started talking to them.[/quote]

Exactly what you just mentioned.  Finding creepiness in being talked to an elevator?  Sheesh

Now, that doesn't absolve the creepy talkers out there - they will always exist.  But being funny/flirtatious in an elevator is now creepy?  GMAFB.[/quote]

Men are so clueless that they don't understand that a woman being trapped in a small space with only one man has her calculating whether or not she thinks he will attack her. 99% of the time, women probably judge no. The other 1% has her on edge, hoping the doors open quickly and beating herself up for getting on the elevator with him.

Men really just don't get it. Women make 1000 decisions a day to protect themselves because we simply aren't safe around you. I saw something online the other day that said, "Ladies, what would you do with yourself if men had a 9pm curfew?" and it BLEW MY MIND. My life would be so different if I and my friends were free to roam about after dark. So. Very. Different.

So, it's impossible to answer that question without knowing what the guy was like, what he was saying, how close he was standing, etc. [/quote]

Some women are so quick to say men are socially clueless! But it's not as easy as these women assume to read social cues accurately. THere's another thread where a guy asked what it means when a woman smiles at a man. Many said it meant nothing but some said it meant they liked the guy. How is a guy supposed to be able to discern which women are interested and which women are just being polite? Sometimes women give off conflicting social cues when interacting with them. Maybe you think she's not into you when she's really just nervous. Maybe you think she's into you but she's just a touchy feely person. Instead of recognizing that it can be difficult to read social cues from a stranger, they label the guy a creep![/quote]
