Yeah I can imagine it would create some shitty situations if one is an attractive female. That sucks. But it also makes sense of why attractive females are the least amicable social group when it comes to returning the gesture; god knows what kind of situations it might incite if shown/returned to the wrong man.
Did it amount to being followed, or approached, or worse even?

Yes, yes, and yes, but that instance where it got worse was someone that was only mostly a stranger that I met on an online dating site and talked with prior.
And yeah, I feel like I've found kind of a nice balance. I'm not as outgoing and blindly trusting as I used to be, and I'm not dripping with naivety anymore, but I do feel like I have gotten kinder as I've grown up a bit. Maybe not nicer. But kinder.

I feel bad that I've hurt someones feelings before. Form excessive alchohol consumption.
It's nothing that's a really big deal.

That sucks PB, it saddens me how a lot of men treat women. The most memorable moment I have of that type of stuff is holding a friend as if she were my couple just so guys wouldn't get grabby when she went to the bar.
I don't like this city because of how closed off it is to being social, but it's stuff like this that forces that mind set. I gotta GTFO.

Idk I dont like this whole exchange when I look at it. Small talk is the worst. I'm so unwilling to waste my time with small talk that I never make any new friends. Shits weird.

It’s like that saying about how once the paper is crumpled up it can never be flat again. I believe Linkin Park touched on it in one of their songs.
People are too twisted up to get back to being straight. There’s like some unattainable ‘thing’ that’s keeping people from just being ok. It’s always something. Hard to believe in 2020 with such a mastery of our surroundings and more shit than we can even come close to consuming that we’re failing this hard. How far exactly can we get our own heads up our own asses? Yet, we keep getting deeper.
People will never be happy. At best little isolated instances may take place.

And to make things even more ironic, I think we’re working as hard as we can to avoid what it is that brings that peace. It’s like we’re slapping that pesky ‘thing’ out of the way to go fuck up more and fail, and then cry about how that failing isn’t satisfying..

Well, a big part of the problem IMO is that people have been largely convinced that happiness lies in bullshit like "goal setting" which basically comes down to hoodwinking the public into the belief that happiness exists in some kind of future self through SLEF OPTIMIZATION and PRODUCTIVITY MAXIMIZATION and HARD WORK rather than finding peace in the current moment (a mind set allowing continued exploitation)
Meanwhile, those who reach the largest of goals possible continue to kill themselves

Yeah, produce, produce, produce.. the amount of bullshit produced for no other reason than, gotta make money. Gotta stay busy, wanna hear what all I did today like a good producer does??
What do you do with your life? Oh, I’m in the business of producing bullshit, just because...
Yep, that’s certainly a factor.

Anyone think it’s a red flag that it’s impossible to inhabit land or ‘make a living’ without money?
Should that be considered as a yoke, or is that just the cost of ‘progression’? Do birds pay rent? They must, we just don’t see it.

Many of you had great things to say.
I was just at the store and I waved and smiled and said "hello" and they said it back. That was great there was no fake shit. That so much better than "how are you? Etc. Because its genuine.

I said hello and smiled/waved it's that simple. I liked that a lot more than the questions. I think you should at least learn my name before your ass starts asking personal shit

how often do you introduce yourself by your first name to strangers? if i share more than a few sentences with someone and we are laughing i will ask their name. this mostly happens at the bar or concerts and hardly with store clerks.
i think its weird to use their first name if they haven't given it to me and yet it is clearly visible on their name tag lol
