I’ve been lurking on Bsky, a new replacement for social media, and women seem to be entirely uninterested in talking to men in most cases. They’ll say that things like they’re looking for new female friends, they love seeing beautiful women in their feed, they reply to other women who comment on their posts… But they tend to ignore men entirely. Even if a guy is just being platonic or speaking in a similar manner to a woman, they’re completely ignored. To test this, I changed my profile picture to that of a female anime avatar but I didn’t change my tone or manner of speaking at all. All of a sudden, I had people replying to me, saying nice things, being responsive to me. It’s like they assumed I was female, so I was ok to respond to.

Why do women avoid men so much?

    After hearing about younger colleagues how hard it is to date today, I started looking at what people on YouTube way about it.

    Basically social media made it possible for women to have hundreds of interested guys standing by, so they are happy and don’t need to talk to random men anymore.

      Unless women have taken a very sharp turn towards hookups, or polygamy, that’s only a partial explanation. The desirable men are still taken, just as before.

      I presume your younger colleagues are all men, and of the segment that does poorly with women. Try asking women about their perspectives on the matter. I promise you’ll get a different answer.

      Oh yeah you got us. It’s a conspiracy. We all sit upon our mountains of unsolicited dick pics, passing along tidbits of affection to our harems of beta males in return for money and favors. Committed, sexual relationships are a childish male fantasy compared to everlasting detachment of the dick throne.

        Made me lol :) OK so what’s your theory? It’s easy to criticize the answers of someone without putting your own two cents in.

          What answer? Oh, you mean that string of words you just sorta regurgitated from some echoing pit of men who furiously agree with each other on the internet? Yep, pretty easy to criticize that.
