It is annoying. One has to travel a lot on public transportation to understand this, really.

Not here it isn’t just about all women do it


I do 90% of my traveling on public transportation it’s a non issue

It’s a rarity here
People also don’t wait in line to get on the bus they just push people out of the way regardless who has been there longer
It’s a dog eat dog world.
Kids curse and yell and threat people on the bus too. It’s annoying
Or talk about their sex lives :cry:

I travel a lot on the NYC Subway, and sometimes on buses.

Most people are civil and respectful. You have the occasional idiots who curse, or who preach, or who rant and rave or whatever.

By and large, though, people just want to play their games on their phones, or read the newspaper, and just arrive at their destination. They don't want trouble.

Wel that’s not how people are in oregon
Bus driver has to stop to throw people off
People bang on the glass it scares me
One guy was yelling at a old disabled lady to get her lady B**ch a** up and stand so his disabled mom could get in the bus.
Sometimes people try to sell stolen stuff.

Likely depends of the city - in Warsaw I saw exactly one instance of "manspreading" and very many of "womanspreading", done mostly by elderly ladies. I mean, having one's knees a bit apart but within your seat is not "manspreading", I count only violating the space for other passengers. But elderly ladies putting their groceries on a free seat were a plague a few years ago, luckily, it's a bit better now.

Anyway, I take a stance that it shouldn't be an issue of gender / generation war, it's an issue of basic good manners that apply to everyone.

Red pills are guys that are aware that making improvements like looks maxing, dressing better and going to the gym use better pick up lines to pick up chicks. Acceptance that the dating game is harder for guys because they have to put in more effort and work hard to get dates.
Blue pill is a naive guy who is unaware that the dating game is rigged against and just being yourself or whatever naive advice is enough to pick up chicks. In denial that guys have to put in more effort and work harder and white knighting(being nice) is enough to get dates.

The very language of it... Is "picking up chicks" in "dating game" what you look for when you complain about loneliness?

Pick Up Artists try to score like it is college days can work for younger guys 18 to 25 but when you are 30+ it is going to be a lot harder using scripted pick up lines that comes across as sleazy, desperate and cheesy. Different strategy may be required for guys over 30 than say the younger guys under 25.

Women really dislike guys with “strategies”—trust me on that.

To find the right strategies you need to define your goal.
If you want to "score" in some "game", I would recommend video games, far less frustrating for everyone.
I know, my language is not always nice, too. But it's very off-putting. No "chick" wants to be tricked so a guy can "score". But some girls may just want to have sex with this guy.
No, many of us don't seek those legendary "alphas".
