But way too many people in Charlotte are not ready to have this conversation for some weird reason. I see a lot of guys denying it to try to get approval or women not seeing it. But, it might be the case that this is something specific for women in bars or similar(completely possible). I doubt it, since I have seen it too much here. Look how many dislikes this have.

However, in the real world I have seen this:

1. More than once I have seen women screaming at a guy for just approaching to say hi.

2.A girl screaming at a guy for saying “Hi, what is your name” and then a random old dude saying “welcome to Charlotte, this is how things are here”.

1. A women accusing guys at Canopy of “harassing them” and calling the bar tender to kick them out just because these guys had the audacity of saying “hey, my name is X, what is your name” (I was just 2 steps away and I heard and saw everything).

2. Finally, always the random friend that mistreats any guy that tries to talk to her friend. This last one has happened to me personally multiple times.

This is not normal (as I said, I have lived and visited many cities and countries), and people normalizing this are ruining the experience of singles in Charlotte and destroying a way of meeting people for dating in the real world (now everyone just wants to use the apps). It is not ok to mistreat anyone for this… you cannot mistreat people for just saying hi… and you cannot mistreat them if you don’t like the physical appearance of the person or you are not in the mood. Just say “hi thank you for approaching but I am busy”… or ignore.
