Outcome: He asked for my number, told me he would like to buy me dinner, I told him thanks I'm married and that was that.
How did he not see the wedding ring? Most men don't approach married women because it is a waste of time. A very small percentage of men might want to see if the married women is open to some side penis.
I was walking back to the office from lunchbreak and this random dude approached me on the street and was trying to talk to me. He wasn't rude at all nor did I feel threatened in any way. It was broad daylight with lots of people around.
I was in a decent mood so I chatted with him a bit while we walked, even though I would have preferred he go away but it was only a few more minutes till I arrived at my office.
Once back, I told my female friend/co-worker about it and SHE went freakin crazy, telling me I should have called the police!!!
I mean she was yelling at me for not calling the police right then and there even tho the guy did nothing except attempt to have a pleasant conversation with me.
This is a conversation around symptoms of a disease and not the disease itself.
The disease itself itself is feminism.
Feminism has created dissent between the sexes since at least the 1970s. You now have 3 full generations of women that have been alive since feminism became fully mainstream by 1980. Those generations would be Gen X (1965-1980s births), Millennials (1981-1996), and the now entering adulthood Gen Z (1997-2012 births). In 2022, that represents adults ages 18-57.
Women from Gen X onwards don't believe that they need men. When they might not need an individual man for provisioning in a romantic relationship, they need the collective of men. Men maintain the electric grid, male computer scientists/engineers created the iPhone, Instagram, and OnlyFans and males are the simps on Instagram and OnlyFans. Males are sanitation workers, warehouse/supply chain workers, police officers, firefighters, auto mechanics, plumbers, etc.
When a woman doesn't have the beta bucks side of hypergamy via an extended relationship committment, there are psychological consequences. She often obtains pets and multiple pets to substitute for men and small children. The woman who can't retain a man long term experiences involuntary solitude (a phrase coined by Chateau Heartiste in the Manosphere 10+ years ago). Insols are the female incels. While the typical woman experiencing involuntary solitude gets laid as much as she desire because she has sex options, she doesn't get the commitment she ultimately desires. She has odd backlashes to that, including pets, perceiving too many men as creepy, etc.
Amongst men, MGTOW and incels are the opposite of the female feminists. MGTOWs and incels have some psychological issues as well. A man might not need a woman for an extended relationship, but he does need her body for sex. His need is more pressing based on the fundamental psychological ideas of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The incel is lacking sex (basest need) whereas the female insol is lacking belonging (a higher level need). It is an easy argument that the incel is in a worse position than the female insol because at least the insol can get sex.
Look at tomi lahren's rant againt men calling them all trash and she's supposed to be a right wing trad-con on fox news. They say they are fighting for equality. I'd give anything for equality.
A lot of so-called conservative women have lives that resemble liberal women. Tomi Lahren is a decent example. She has been a penis carousel rider for 10+ years. She's bounced around from multiple cities and had multiple relationships. Only 13 months after posting her "Men are Trash" rant, a ex-pro baseball player put a ring on her finger.
At Fox News, Ainsley Earhardt claims to be a conservative Christian but is reportedly careerist, is twice divorced, is a single mom, and her 2nd husband was a substantially younger ex-college football quarterback. That sounds like a liberal feminist/careerist to me.
