    Really? So people randomly approach you on the street and proclaim they’ll never date you?

      YES. Literally yes.

      I’ve been approached by men who say I’m wearing too much makeup and that men don’t like that. That I should smile more if I want a boyfriend. That my clothes aren’t very flattering and it’s unattractive to him.

      Like, for all your talk of “go outside” you don’t seem to know what life is like for women outside.

          Mine? America. I even live in a very blue “progressive” area. But I have friends in the UK that have similar experinces. Frankly, why would that even matter? This sort of thing happens all over.

              If you were even vaguely representative of Scandinavians, I’d steer clear. Luckily, I have family in Norway and Finland, so I know you’re just an ass and are full of shit.

                Is that like the American “2% of something” family in Scandinavia? Because that really means very little.

                    Well that makes it even worse, then. If you’re so ignorant of how reality and normal people behave I suggest not hanging out so much on social media.

        Not excusing ignorance but it is wild how different the experience of the average man or woman can be just existing in public. It makes sense to me that a man who is largely a basement dweller would have no first hand exposure to that sort of behavior.
