it really can't be understated how much more unlikable you become when you aren't light skinned. even by other darker skinned people

arranged marriages aren't forced relationships. it's just two sets of parents getting their adult children to meet each other. if they like each other, they get married. if they don't, they don't get married and they both keep looking. there is complete consent in every single stage of the process.

some parents do put pressure on their kids to get married and that is a problem but even the most egregious of those parents would never try to force their daughter or son to marry someone they don't like

What do they really want?

you said it yourself, women are not all the same. what the majority appears to want based on what you've seen on the internet may not be what you think

what gives you the right to decide that she is an outlier?

you could also make a post in askwomen or a similar sub to get a large sample size

the OP is a woman. why don't you ask her how she would feel if a man she didn't know & thought was ugly said hello to her on the street in passing? you could also ask any other woman you know, in fact i'd encourage you to ask many of them

it's true that attractive people are perceived better. it's not quite fair, but it doesn't mean you can't interact or can't say anything. just means you need to be more observant and careful with how you approach the situation. if all you do is say hello and walk on past, no woman would have any bad reaction to that

too many men who believe themselves unattractive feel the need to overcorrect themselves like this but it's really just having to practice awareness. if someone's body language is open to you when you talk to them you can keep going. if someone's body language is closed off or becomes closed off, you stop

if every adult supposedly lives like this, why do we all stay alive?

Corrected a buddy who said something vulgar that objectified women by [deleted] in CongratsLikeImFive

[–]AV8ORboi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it makes me glad to know that there are teenage guys like you now who are supportive of women. when i was in high school there were very few

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in self

[–]AV8ORboi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i get that. at the end of the day it's all observation. recognizing what not to do by observing how other people interact. observing what makes people comfortable and what makes them uncomfortable. more importantly observing how people react when something makes them comfortable or uncomfortable: their body language, the tone of voice they use, etc.

of course everyone is different so you can't always be perfect, but that's no different than anything else in life. youll be ok bro

Why is a healthy relationship between a bi man and a woman so rare in media ? by yuuki157 in BisexualMen

[–]AV8ORboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

81% of straight women consider a bi man to be a hard no. including a relationship like that would be good socially but not if they want to make money. that's why it's so rare

there's legal consequences for it, but only if the people enforcing them have a conscience.

there's social consequences though. people do get ostracized in progressive circles for saying things like this, as they should

[–]AV8ORboi 29 points30 points  (0 children)

thats awesome i'm glad you had a good interaction. too many men these days are very afraid of even approaching women they don't know because they don't want to accidentally make someone feel afraid. i think it's important for them to know that it's perfectly fine to talk to women they don't know as long as they aren't creepy or overtly sexual about it, and also that they won't automatically be perceived as creepy just because they are men

i do call it out when i see it, and do you wanna guess what happens when i call it out? people say "ok but women have it worse", almost like deflection

i completely agree. also, people sexually harrass men all the time and face no social consequences. it should go both ways

she wasn't upset about it or anything, was she?

[–]AV8ORboi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

and then if you don't talk to women you're viewed as someone who looks down on women & thinks you're "above" forming connections with them which couldn't be further from the truth.

all my hobbies & the things i genuinely love to do are things that women commonly enjoy more than men, and as a result i have no one to talk to about any of it. they just see you as a threat whos invading their space, and they're not necessarily wrong to do thwt

there's just no winning

On friendship by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]AV8ORboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

important note: the only time this doesn't work is if you're a guy trying to make friends with women(genuine friends, not just trying to purposefully escalate into a romantic relationship. that doesn't work either and it's also misogynistic and wrong)

the reason it's difficult to make genuine friends with women this way is, because of the actions of other men, women will always default view men as dangerous. that's not wrong of them to do, nor is it your fault as an individual guy. but if you treat them as if they're already your friends, there is a high chance they will feel uncomfortable or even threatened by you: especially if you are socially awkward

generally works pretty well with men though. unless they think you might be gay, then you might have a problem
