Why do guys in my new city look straight past me?

So do you want men stopping you on the street, staring at you, asking for your number etc or don't you?

"how dare you objectify women by looking at us and talking and harassing us"

"why are you not looking at me omg just talk to me someone"

In the previous cities that I lived in I got frequent male attention on a daily basis. I got stopped by random men asking me for my number, stared at or complimenting me on how 'beautiful' I was almost everyday.

Then I moved to a new bigger city, and it was like I became invisible to men. I still looked the exact same as before. I would walk down the street and they literally wouldn't look my way for one second. They all looked straight past me when I walked past them, whether I was walking on the pavement on my way to lectures or in the shopping centre etc. In fact it's like they go out of the way to avoid looking at me, they don't even look my direction once as if I have some contagious illness that if they look at me for half a second they would drop dead or something.

I remember being at one party talking to a group of people and this one guy literally acted like I wasn't there, when other people were talking he would look at them but when I spoke he literally wouldn't look at me for one second at all. It's happened numerous times.

My friend said my height may be perceived as intimidating, as I'm a 5'10 tall girl. But still, it's the complete opposite experience of the previous cities I lived in. Does anyone know why this occurred? (I don't feel comfortable posting a pic btw so please don't ask for one).

I don't realise that women shared a single mental entity? I didn't realise that if one woman takes offence at one thing, and another took offense at another thing, then that is hypocrisy?

Guy 1 "I like Suicide Squad"

Guy 2 "I hate Suicide Squad".

The hypocrisy!! 😱

How can you actually get by with that level of reasoning? Humans were meant to have passed that cognitive mile stone before the age of 10.


Or are you succumbing to biased reasoning where you deindividuate members of another social group to the extent where you do physically see women as one big entity. There are no individuals, we all think the same.
All Muslims are terrorists then I take it.

I do not think you understand what I am saying.

I am basically saying that Men are now being taught or being told that Harassing women is bad and yes harassing anyone is bad but now harassing is being taught as talking to. you see the stupid walking through new york vid and people saying Hello or good morning and this is complained about.

I normally say good morning to local people I see on the street and most reply with morning back but one woman replied Stop harassing me, its like wtf.


All I am saying is that there are loads of mixed messages coming from feminists that are trying to be the voice of all women but are failing

Okay I see what you mean. I thought you were referring to the OP directly. Sorry

I'd say most women are happy with a hello and smile. Personally I like that.

What most women dislike is the wolf whistling or sleazy comments about our bodies. Do you see the line?

To me the first "smile and hello" is either just friendly politeness or a guy saying he finds you attractive. Whereas the latter is a guy saying he's only looking at you as if you're a sex object. And I hate that, makes me feel weird.
