The peripheral vision lady is a piece of work. She only highlighted what annoys her, not something scary. It was more of a gripe at her husband than a "what scares me" post. Imagine telling people on an open forum that they shouldn't have replied with an opposing opinion, and making them "the problem".
24:14 I respect this person pointing out that it can become discriminatory, however 1 in 4 women will be sexually assaulted by a man in their lifetime, but 4/15 victims of violent attacks are attacked by a black person. And I know that statistic is skewed because of racism in the judicial system. The comment also draws attention away from the actual problem. Women and afab people fear men because they have already been attacked by men. 1 in 4 women are ✨just✨ sexually assaulted. This does not account for the victims of violent male parental figures. And the fear tactics AFAB people are raised with. If an AMAB child speaks out against a masculine authority figure, it's encouraged. When an AFAB child does so, it is punished. Speaking for just myself, I was whipped with a belt for giving the same attitude as my brothers. They didn't even get scolded.
Women respond in fear because we have been taught that we can die, and that death is the lesser of evils we can experience.
this is what sucks, sometimes the good guys can't be genuine because the girl gets scared
No means no, we agree. However I have heard the same women who say no means no also ask why men aren't persistent after being told no. Which is it? No means no and yes?
i only came here to learn what not to do
Dude at 23, we get that. But also people bigger than you are scary when they get angry, and a lot of men are bigger than me.
To be honest, I do understand why women are more cautious about men. As an 6"1 introverted man trying to be more social, who was raised in a family of women. I like to try talking to anyone and everyone, sometimes if not all the time I immediately notice when I make women uncomfortable so I'm quick to apologize and sometimes mention I'm a massive introvert.
A lot of cases I usually just don't try to cause them trouble from that point on. I've had situations where people get extremely offended which makes me feel worse.
older women will always talk to me after the first interaction, which makes me happy.
I enjoy talking to women because they understand feelings and it is easier to talk about things that my guys friends would ignore me for mentioning it.
To me it's just easier to talk to older women rather than someone around my age.
Some of these stories make a lot of sense for the topic. Unwanted touch with clear uncool intentions, following, stalking, etc. But then there are things that are just normal behaviour for dudes.
Like how the fuck is a dude supposed to shoot his shot if him coming close to you is already threatening?
Throwing the baby out with the bathwater doesnt sound like the right way to go about things.
I'm throw bonus comment (that probably gonna get ignored)
I think the biggest problem here is no one wants to accept both sides got problems.
Women, assuming every man out them.
Men, terrified if scared they say the wrong thing, they'll be arrested or be considered creepy.
Women, getting too much attention from men.
Men, not getting attention enough from anyone.
Men want to be loved and care for.
Women want personal space and respect.
Also I think it's a massive disservice for someone to say that no cares about women right or that's no talks about it and excluding women. Matter of fact most places are constantly building things so women have places to go. These days I only hear people talk about how people "women rights" for the last few years. So please stop that, we care about your safety and we want make sure you know exist is appreciated.
Guys, "how do I know if what I am about to do/say is creepy or ok?" – imagine, that it is being said/done to YOU, buy a BIG gay DUDE, in a JAIL CELL. If that would make you feel threatened, uncomfortable, or creeped out – do NOT f📯king say/do it to a woman, or anyone else, for that matter.
It's actually everything, whenever you're alone or not around a lot of people with a man around, I commute a lot, so I go out of the house early and even come back late, a man in close proximity is a danger, a man talking to me for whatever reason is a danger, a taxi driver is a danger, a man in any capacity is dangerous, it's exhausting.
Not all men but it's always a man, you're forced to be vigilant wether you want to or not, because you could end up in a ditch if you meet one wrong man.
Small rant: I hate it when men say “not all men”. Here’s the thing men, we don’t know if you’re gonna take our rejection “nicely” or not. We don’t know if you’ll suddenly get violent when we voice our opinions. We don’t know if you’ll view us as nothing more than our bodies. There’s no little flag over your head telling us “oh he’s a ‘good’ one don’t worry”. It’s safer for us to think “all men” because when we don’t, that’s when we get abused, assaulted, and/or murdered. So yes, “all men” cus it’s a f*cking safety measure.
Also PS, you’re not entitled to anyone’s time or romantic interest. It’s not being “friend-zoned” when you formed that friendship with the expectation of romantic and/or sexual relations down the line.
I think it's a problem if you are afraid, because you attract creeps that go off on feeling superior.
I've never been afraid of man, I am not a model but good locking and I never had any of these experiences. Of course you can't just decide to not be afraid, but you might be able to work on it through therapy and self defence courses.
Interesting that a lot of these talk about trying to be nice and avoid upsetting the male in these cases, to the point where many seem to mention reading body language to get the hint of a "no". As a man, I've often heard about how women can be confusing or give mixed signals, but I never thought that men might get that impression because women don't want to be direct for fear of the man harming them. Obviously some generalizations there, but interesting that the stereotype u hear about might be being caused by men.
Also interesting how some of the earlier stories about guys bring women to isolated locations ended up being totally safe, like the park walk where they found the grave sized hole and the night-time trail walk to a vantage over the city. I wonder if these guys were trying to be romantic and didn't realize how bad that situation could look. Was also interesting that in the park-walk story, they mention that they got picked up and that that was a mistake cause they had no escape, but in a later story, they say getting picked up by the man is gentlemanly. Maybe some of these men get poor signals from society too. Like they've got to pick the woman up and be romantic, but these can cause the woman to have no escape and be isolated with the man.
Good info in this one. Thanks for the narration as well!
I’m a black woman 24:20 just shut up fr that’s ignorant
The best analogy I've ever heard for how men and women exist in the world is literally just cats and dogs. Men are like dogs, most don't know their own strength and are just goofy individuals whose intentions you cant always tell until you experience it first hand. Women are like cats, very cautious of the world around them and sometimes need just the right place and time to be approached.
With a dog, if you see one in the wild chances are its a big ol friendly doofus who just want some attention, but you are still taught to never approach them as there is the chance that that isn't there intention at all.
With a cat in the wild, its better to just be friendly and let them come to you, so as to not scare the shit out of it.
Obviously people are far more complicated, but for the men out there that just can't seem to grasp that 1/100 odds of meeting a man up to no good is not good betting odds, maybe this will help.
"Men are afraid of being laughed at by women. Women are afraid of being killed by men."
Story 8 is the case of Renee Sweeney if anyone is wondering
1:16:51 it’s sounds like a book or ai 😭
23:58 i get that womens fear of men sucks, but you do have to understand why we cant just assume everyone is trustworthy. Men have a higher rate of violence than women, and i myself am more causeous because of that. Men are also usually stronger and larger, wich can be scary.
There are some easy things you can do to put people at ease as a man. Theese are some of the things you can do if you want to. When youre on a date or make a friend, make sure to ask people what their boundaries are. Ask for concent, even for hugs and kisses. Be the person people feel safe calling/asking for help when they dont feel safe. Dont ask innapropriate questions or mansplain, ask people about their hobbies or favourite things. Step in when you see a person making someone uncomfortable. Dont approach women in vurnerable positions (alone at night or in a wooded area). Dont catcall, if you want to be nice you can tell people that their outfitt is cute, their hair is pretty or their makeup looks good, then walk away knowing you made someone happy
When I was about 15 in the beginning of my sophomore year in high school, I met this guy in the year younger than me that everyone thought was really weird. He looked like he was in his 30’s but behaved like a 5 year old. I didn’t want any problems so I was just nice to him and didn’t think anything of it. That is, until one day it was just me and him in a classroom alone. I would regularly show up to that specific class early since it was right after lunch and he was there too. He came up to me and asked if he could sit with me. I really didn’t want him to but I felt like it’d be mean if I had said no. I said yes and he sat next to me at my desk. Within two minutes he had his hand around my waist and his head in my neck. It was the most uncomfortable experience of my life. We sat there like that while I was just dazed as all hell for a good 15 minutes before he had to get up because class was actually starting. Looking back, I really wish I had made more of a fuss about it, but he was a freshman and I was a sophomore for one, and unfortunately my administration was the type to favor rich white kids over other kids. (I am black and lived with a single mother.) It made me super uncomfortable and I cannot fathom how it made sense to him that that was a good way to try and make friends with me. He was also dating one of my friends at the time, so I guess that was another reason I felt like I couldn’t tell anyone. Moral of the story, if a guy makes you uncomfortable ladies, let it be known!!
50:36 Imagine you’re watching some dude on the street go up to a woman, say that, she says nothing, he walks away and just says the exact same thing to the next woman lol. Brute force finding a partner. That definitely won’t make all women hate you
most this shit is very subjective
I'm only 20 min in, so idk if this comes up.
But dear men, if you're interested in someone, DO NOT ask for your interests phone number from a 3rd party/mutual acquaintance. It's extremely creepy to call or text someone that hasn't given you their number and maybe you've never even talked in person. I've had that happen twice.
More stories like this please! I can just hear the comments the creepy dudes were leaving, “ That’s not creepy actually, I’ve done that before and SHE wasn’t creeped out!”

Off topic, but what game is that?
The "I just want conversation, women these days!" guy has zero ability to reflect. If your intentions aren't weird, and you're still getting this reaction, then you're being weird anyway and are giving off the aura of being unsafe. If you're broadcasting that aura anyway, what do your intentions matter? Women are going to get freaked out no matter what you do unless your actions, demeanor, and choice of topic reflect your intentions, that's how it goes for everyone on planet Earth and not just women. If this guy can't reflect on what he's doing and saying to women to get ghosted and kept at arms length, this is going to keep happening. If everywhere you go, you smell poo, check your shoe situation right there. He won't though, he'll keep insisting that it's all women being too sensitive.
I went on a date and the dude was driving me home and tried to fight a driver that honked at him for sitting at the light for too long. I immediately blocked him
I tried to get a man to understand that it's not even a little bit a good idea for me (a late 20s woman with a passive personality) to go with him (a mid 40s half a foot taller than me man who has expressed much romantic interest in me) and at least THREE OF HIS MALE FRIENDS, and possibly no women, to a midnight pool party, both without a real swimsuit, and drunk, plus more drinking likely. I don't know that man's friends. I only knew him a little.
The worst part was that when I tried to decline politely, he acted like I was insulting him and IMMEDIATELY went off on how trustworthy he is.
The fact that some men really value their feelings over women's safety… 🙄
"Not all men" is true, but here's the thing, we can't tell immediately which men it will be. That's the scary part. Men, imagine if you were in prison for example, and you are surrounded by men bigger and stronger than you. Some of them might be staring at you, some might act friendly, others might be openly creepy. Can YOU tell which ones are safe, and which might want to hurt you? Do you feel safe with the ones that say "no don't worry, I'm a good guy." or do you treat them all with a level of suspicion because you just. can't. know.
It’s wild that I just saw a very divisive comment section on a another video, where two guys specifically were arguing that it’s not wrong of a man to like some who is “legally” an adult (18). Yes, they said legal, makes me shudder. Ones’ entire argument was that it’s rude and sexist to assume “all men over 30 hit on minors” in response to the original comment(OP didn’t say that, they simply said it was gross how common it was). Now, here, I’m seeing a bunch of stories about 30+ men hitting on visibly underage minors. So gross. Get a grip and stop sexualizing children. It should be an immediate turn OFF when you find out they’re 18 or younger, not a turn on. Fucking creeps.
24:00 women exercising caution around men they don't know isn't discrimination. Next that guy will start saying stranger danger for kids is discrimination too…
42:00 oof yet another one who finds his poor hurt feelings most important. Exceptions do not erase the rule. "back in his day" girls and women were still r*ped and k*lled it just wasn't spoken about nearly as much, and said women and girls tended to be kept much more sheltered about dangers. That's what has changed. Women and girls now are aware of the potential danger. If that upsets you makes you long for the "good old days" then you might just not be such a good guy.
Edit: "her ghosting me was like me being attacked" made me damn near choke. smh some guys really do have no idea.
Story 2 everybody who gqve this girl a hard time r prob all the serial killers 😂
I must just be butt ugly because I have never had any of these problems. I've seen it happen to other women, but not me.
Your videos are too quiet. This one especially. I usually have a little difficulty hearing your videos, and this one I have all the way turned up and still can't really hear it.
Why am I not surprised by answers by men complaining about how they can't even talk to women anymore….
Going to college in 2 years. any women got tips so I don’t make anyone uncomfortable when approaching them cause idk if I’m like socially awkward or whatever.
7:19. You would think so, but then I saw some random girl on the internet say how she likes it when men try harder after a rejection and then accepts them. So like for 99% of women is a polite decline a no?
My dad does this all the time and he'll literally say: "come on I'm not going to k*ll you"
😒
He's also a person who REGULARLY threatens to k*ll people so….. 🙃🫠🙄
