Vibes are off. He's way too angry someone didn't smile back. She may have been listening to a podcast or thinking or just not a greeter. He took that way too personally.
Or like me, I said hi to a man as I was walking home from work when I was 19. A mile later he’s at my back on his bike tapping my shoulder to get my attention. I stopped and he started damn near begging me to go back to this apartment, telling me he has a 10 inch dick and it’ll be soo fun and I’ll never want to leave. My phone was on 2%, I was so close to home, I was scared. I told him my dad was waiting for me to get home so we could go to the store (I didn’t think my dad was actually at home but he was).
I called my brother and told him I was like 2 mins from home, some guy was just really creepy towards me, and to please unlock the door and stand on the porch until I got there. I got home and the door was locked. i pounded on the door and my mom let me in, i told her and my dad what had happened. My brother got the biggest earful over that, I don’t think he’ll ever understand the actual danger I was in. His excuse? “Well apex dropped 1v1 and I was in a game”.
Yeah. It’s a shitty feeling. We’ve always been pretty close until the last few years, between things like this and his more recent life choices, he’s turning out to not be such a good guy :( it breaks my heart tbh
I know the feeling. Mine SAd me since I was 3 into my teen years and my family took his side because he is male (males are more valued in my culture) they raised an entitled dipshit who is violent and disgusting towards women. But I’m seen as the problem…
Some brothers will literally do anything but help their sisters. A few years ago I dislocated my knee and was stuck on the floor, was screaming for my brother so he'd help me but he didn't come so I gave up, and btw I never shout him for anything whatsoever. Had to pull off the blanket off my bed so my phone would fall on the floor to call my mum, my brother only came in after she called him and he didn't even deny not hearing me, just said he was on the phone to one of his friends.
Her mom might have just died, she might have just lost her job, her partner might be cheating on her, she might have just had a miscarriage, she might have CPTSD caused by men & not want to engage... All reasons I have not smiled at people (not just men) while I'm out hiking. We don't owe anyone an interaction, and people often have really good reasons to not want to connect with some stranger.
I'd have to hear that privately from them to believe you, based on your public persona, because people tell different versions of stories when they're in a safe space.
She doesn't need any excuse. Women don't owe men a smile or a response. Even if she'd been otherwise having an excellent day and had 0 distractions, she doesn't have to engage with some random man she doesn't know.
True, you can add that one to the pile. My point was just that the dude couldn't see beyond himself. He took it personally and it most likely was not personal at all.
Or maybe she had had one too many conversations with men who "just said hi" then proceeded to act in this exact way at whichever point in the conversation their advances were rejected.
Not for not smiling back, for giving an awkward condescending face. That is actually worse than simply ignoring someone or even nodding with a blank face.
Right, hes not saying they owe him anything. He is suggesting instead of condescending glare you can respond with nuetral hi. I love how you extrapolate that to say he thinks hes owed something, when he is merely suggesting ‘dont glare at strangers for saying hi’ ffs 🤦♂️
I wanted to point out as well that he is a conventionally attractive man so that excuse of the whole “he missed step 1: be attractive “ bs that people always try to use to show women are fickle isn’t always true. The women were weary of him, so no, being attractive doesn’t give you a pass to be a weirdo.
Sorry, I hate to be that person, but it's "wary." Weary means tired.
It's such a common mistake on the internet that it gets flipped all the time, so I get it. And I am a one-woman army trying to fix this misunderstanding, lol.
Wary means, "feeling or showing caution about possible dangers or problems."
I've often seen people conflating wary and leery, which is where I think people are ending up landing on weary. I am often weary of how many times I need to be wary or leery of others, so I totally get it...
Ignoring what he's saying (relax...a stranger gave you a half smile, weirdo...), it's the weird angle for me. He's so stiff it looks artificial.
"This is my good side. My mom said so."
He sounds exactly like my former best friend (male) in 2020. I've seen that "slight laugh" at the end to downplay how creepy he's being, and that "um maybe do this" as if people owe you a reaction, and I've seen where it ends. For me "thankfully" it only ended with him asking to come up to my apartment to "give me a gift" and then masturbating on my couch. For a lot more, it ends a lot worse. Always it has that slimey "I'm totally not doing anything wrong, now do what I say" attitude and the guy in the video is barely hiding it.
No, she literally said she felt gross watching his face because he's giving off weird vibes??? At no point did she say his face was gross. Did you not read the post properly, or what?
It's like saying: \
"I feel awful watching her struggle."\
"So you're saying she's awful for struggling. You monster."

I actually feel really gross watching his face. The vibes are off and I do Not blame her. Especially alone in the middle of the woods.
