Yeah, most people are "full of themselves", if you stop you're probably going to be a very lonely person in the end.
Not really. Most people reach out to me, but I usually respond accordingly and also sometimes initiate depending on what the conversation is about.
They certainly would. The amount of young women today who are completely shocked when they are approached blows my mind. Went up to a pretty girl over the summer chatted her up for maybe a minute and asked for her number. She later told me she had never been approached outright and she was hot 24 year old. I've seen the same sentiment from other young women saying approaching is 'wrong' and hitting on them is as well. But it's ok to swipe on them on an app or slide into their dm's like a beta boy.
I don't consider myself MGTOW, but I do watch their videos now and then (and read some of their material). The thing I don't like about it I think some of the negativity has rubbed off on me. I've always enjoyed looking at the pretty girls when I'm out and doing some light flirting or talking to people when I'm out. And I notice that I find myself intentionally not looking at or talking to women when I'm out, because somewhere in the back of my mind I get this MGTOW message playing about how women don't deserve free attention and all that. I don't like the effect, honestly.
If you have a relationship then you can't be MGTOW. If you are in a relationship, then why would you want to look at or talk to other women with respect to your SO rather than worry if they are getting free attention or not?
You're right I'm not MGTOW, I said I seem to have been infected by watching some of their negative material. Even a lot of the regular Red Pill stuff on this forum tells you not to look at women when you are out. I don't really want to feed into girls getting free attention because the entitlement attitude among young women especially, seems to be really bad, and I don't want to contribute to it.
If a hb 8+ Gen-Z lady threw herself at you or came on to you, then how would you handle that?
Unrelated to thread topic, but I stumbled upon incel and blackpill forums as teen (before they had those terms). Those views and rhetoric deeply affected me as a young impressionable person. Completely poisoned my world view and created some awful insecurities in me. It took a long time to get unplugged from that negative world and it really messed up my later teens and view on life and women.
Lol, that's hilarious. What would she want with an old goat like me? I'd probably think she was mental, or trying to set me up for a robbery.
I think a lot of pickup material can have that effect if you're not careful. There's a lot of crossover between all the different pills.
I am in a similar situation. Got a real solid homeboy from the neighborhood. We grew up together and literally shed blood.
