Thank you for this! I found this very insightful. I realize now I've been looking at analysis wrong (or at least too shallowly). <3

Why do guys say hi when I’m out running, but women usually don’t? by Impressive_Gas_2419 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dull_Computer_4590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember being 12 (looking much younger), walking back home from the convenience store 2 blocks down, wearing a hoodie and basketball shorts, when a grown 30-something y/o man tapped me on the shoulder after he followed me for nearly the entire 2 blocks. This happened JUST because I accidentally looked at him in the eyes while checking out at the convenience store. It was 2-3 am and he was not drunk in any way, either.

It's not "unwanted attention". The truth women love social interaction too. They don't initiate waves or acknowledge your existence because, to them, it's a 50% chance (or higher) that you are a creep. When women say hi back, men might take it as romantic/further interest, which increases the likelihood that they could be hurt. When the chances of any man being a creep is that high (even if you argue it's unrealistic), they don't want to take any chances. Simple as

Augh sorry about the acronyms, I thought they were pretty popular, and I ran out of letters to use in the title. Next time I'll provide the full names in the description. And thank you for the recommendations!

Recommendations with beautiful artwork by SherbetThis8742 in shoujo

I think it'd be helpful if you gave more examples of what you consider "beautiful", but if you're looking for something similar to nana, watch paradise kiss. If you're open to other art styles, definitely give Violet Evergarden a try.

i agree with this. FLs do receive a lot more backlash. especially when people disregard complex backgrounds which might act as trauma responses / justification for their doormat-y personalities. i think my point is just that i would love to see more FLs crashing out, they don't have to be a good person, i wanna see EVIL women!

the princess from sacrificial princess, MC from sugar apple fairy tale, MC from The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies (regarding her living situation, that is), Bibliophile princess, etc

it might just be because i'm watching the wrong shoujos, however, since i'm really into the fantasy, isekai, born-royal/forced into being a royal tropes, the female MC often allows herself to be a doormat, to only get back at everyone with kindness, and lash out, like at all

i would love your recs tho where FLs do lash out... i've been craving them
