    The PSA doesn't include the 'head down in a book' necessarily. Even so, approaching a woman in that state is completely fine. People want to meet others, even when they're reading a book and listening to music. Maybe the guy likes the book she's reading, maybe it's the start of a connection. We can't assume all women are anti-social. When she rebuffs your approach, that's when you respectfully leave.

    It's not new, but I've never seen something so distracting as it is nowadays. Saw someone riding a bicycle while holding a phone without looking ahead, almost crashed into her. It's a miracle they don't cause traffic accidents. People should at least pay attention to traffic/ other people on street.

    So, then it's because she's Asian. That's not really any better. Did you even think before hitting submit reply?

    As long as you're arguing that women should be wary 5% of the time, I agree with you. Just because violent crimes are more likely to be committed by men, doesn't mean you should be afraid of men, because the VAST majority of men aren't violent.
    I mean this is a bad leap of logic. It seems like you are asserting that 1 out of 20 times you meet men they commit a crime on you, which is horrendously wrong. It's more likely 1 in 1,000,000,000.

    The point he is trying to make is that since men and blacks disproportionately commit crimes, you should be afraid of them.

    If I see a lady that interests me I'll approach them. If she's not interested she'll either tell me outright or hint at it and I'll move on. This reads like an actual beta male article you hear about but never expect to actually see.
    Nah someone people stalk and follow booth men and women even resorting to violence.

    The guy who made this post is a loser trying to make himself look good for women by looking like a moron to other men. Some men already know this so its useless, the men who don't know this won't be convinced by this douche so it's a worthless cry for attention.

    Personally, I don't ask women out unless I feel my chance for success is VERY high... I have only heard not interested once... because I don't try with some random. However, like I already said, some guys feel if you ask 100 random girls and get 99 No and one Yes it was all worth it. Never seen someone get violent from a no... and this guy CERTAINLY isn't convincing that guy otherwise.

    I love how one sided this shit is. Women are just as violent as men are, but you don't see anyone bashing them, in fact you still see them bashing the man for being "weak". This is the problem with society in a nutshell.

I've been drugged at a club before, and fortunately, I was with a bunch of friends who knew something had happened and got me home. There's also the constant threat of weaboo dudes finding out I'm technically Japanese and just annoying me to death.
    Haha, so the biggest threat for you are desperate harcore-weaboos who'd settle for "technically japanese" while also being into self-proclaimed tsun-tsun (did I do that right?) muder-machines? You must be living in constant fear. :P

    This is the thing I don't get. Obviously this PSA is just a virtue signal as a male feminist (can we start the timer for this guy ending up in a sex harassment scandal?), but even if we take his post as genuine, the guys who don't take no for an answer... they're just expected to take this guy's word for it? Ivan Coyote thinks he can convince these men who get violent from getting rejected by a girl by moralizing them over a Tweet.

    I don't get violent, not sure why anyone would. But I also don't interact with women at all unless they approach me first. Which never happens unless they're asking for directions.

    Also, half of that post is bullshit. Then again, it's twitter, so par for the course.

    What do you mean "just as violent"? There are consistent differences in violence rates and methods taken between women and men.

    I'm a retired pro fighter. I have no idea what that means, but I have had weaboos actually try to speak Japanese to me in what i assume is something to get my interest.

    Nah, when I'm in the mood to do that kind of thing I usually do it in volume. I'll approach at least 10 women in a given venue.



    lol getting rejected means nothing to me, I wish I got rejected faster so I can move on. Don't be nice, just say no soon as I walk up lol.

    I was just joking because of the "technically" part, as that made it sound like you don't look like it at all, and it's only in one of these online ancestry tests.

    Understanding social etiquette and interaction is the only thing the OP or this thread brings to mind. You either have it or oblige to learn it, or you don't.

    A lot of human beings don't these days. Get off the internet/social media.

    that is a COMPLETELY different situation. when a person is sitting at a bus stop or inside a public transport, the only thing they really need be paying attention to is driver announcements. you know not to miss the bus, or their stop. safety concern is not even remotely the same as having to engage in social interactions.

    The persons rant is kind of bonkers, ultimately nobody sends absolutely clear signals of when we want to talk or not talk to someone unless they look clearly annoyed.

    I've never feared for my life in rejecting a guy, I only felt intimidated once and it was mainly the dude was a beast in terms of strength and very aggressive at a party. I got out of there with some help, but it was the only time I legitimately felt like I might get raped.

    Regardless if it's a female or male, if someone has headphones in and their nose in a phone / book, that's a very clear sign to me that they want to be left alone.

    I have no problems striking up chats with strangers, but I'm going to respect someone's non-verbal cues that they don't want to be approached.

    I know when I have my headphones in I do not want to be disturbed - at all!
    Here is something to believe in!
