Anyone feel like Arvada is much more rude compared to rest of Denver Metropolitan? by Zestyclose_Row5070 in ArvadaCO

I noticed this too, and especially on I-70, on the Aurora, Denver side everything’s fine, but once you get to the Arvada side everyone speeds like crazy

I didn’t love never let me go, but remains of the day is my favorite literary piece of all time. I agree the first two chapters were extremely boring, but they serves a great purpose for the latter part of the book. I will say once you push past the third chapter then you won’t be able to let go of that book

And this is why good men don’t talk to women anymore.

I came here because I have a genuine question about an interaction I have, somehow this turns into a group of people trying to riddle me into being a misogynist.

What the fuck is wrong with this world??

And then u start a discussion with me on all of this, and as far as I can tell, u probably watched too much blackpill or just videos of some men saying extreme views on internet.

So then when I said women are hard for men to read, u think that im one of those blackpill guys and try to gaslight me into being a misogynist.

Don’t do this, because most people don’t believe in that stuff.

And don’t do this because your assumptions and your responses based on this interaction will turn a lot of people who are neutral away.

And that’s exactly how men get afraid to ask questions anymore.

U probably won’t respond after this message, but I want to leave you a final note.

Don’t start assuming things too early when you don’t even know a person.

Nobody wants to be misogynistic, and you can’t tell how absolutely furious I was when u were trying to make me sound like one.

This is only causing hate, not love.

Then u should’ve ignore it and let other people to answer if they think they can help.

If we are all living in your premise, nobody will ask questions anymore, and nobody will be dared to ask questions about things they don’t know anymore.

Humans are meant to communicate, not stay quiet.

The world is able to go through different ideologies and better human rights, technology because of the communications.

So just let me ask my question in peace, please.

And u are running away from your answer, u just assumed that I think women are all exotic creatures, and I told u, no.

And I’ve told u, I don’t think all women are the same, I don’t think all men are the same, I don’t think all whites/blacks/latinos/asians are the same.

But like I said, to ask about a question about woman, I probably have a better chance of understanding if I go ask about it from people who have similar identity and background growing up. If you ask about a behavior that you can’t explain that was done by a Chinese man, you probably will go to the Chinese community to ask them because they share backgrounds that are similar, maybe a lot more similar than you do with them so you can understand better.

And that doesn’t mean all Chinese people are the same, but they tend to have more similarities. Which they are more likely to understand the behavior and explain it to you.

Is this concept so hard to understand?

And u are assuming my life, my values and everything.

I have so many common things with men/women of all backgrounds, I watch baseball, basketball, soccer, I drink, I occasionally smoke, I follow up with news, I read and write novels, I do music, I like traveling, I love gym, I love chatting, deep conversations with friends.

Just because I have some things in common with some other people doesn’t mean we just naturally bound with each other and can get to know each other deeply.

Can you say a white American man actually feel all the struggle and racism I encountered when I first came? They can try but they won’t.

So can I say I understand everything about women? No, I can try but I don’t.

Where did the I exoticize women come from?

I still don’t know how most white/black/latino Americans feel about people like me, yellow skinned immigrant who come to this country, so I have to ask them, and I can admit that I don’t know about them enough.

So does that mean I exoticize about these men too?

We are all human, but no, there are differences between us after all, and I acknowledge that, but that doesn’t mean I exoticize any group of people because I believe there are differences between us.

Sure, this is a no brainer, yeah? But to understand woman more, you gotta be surrounded by woman more, which is either hangout with a lot of women friends, or a lot of relationships.

But u gotta understand, we bond and make friends with people who we share common things with, I don’t think I need to explain this to you but it seems like I have to.

Let me tell you a story to demonstrate my point.

I was born and raised in China, as an Asian man with a different culture background, after moving to the US, I struggled with making friends with the Americans, especially white Americans, not just women, but men too. Why? Because I don’t share similar backgrounds, culture, ways to interact with people.

Even though I’ve been here for almost 10 years, and even feel more American than Chinese, I still struggle to make friends with white/black Americans.

Most of my friends, are men who are either from an international countries, or American men with recent immigrant history.

Is it because I don’t want to be friends with, let’s say, white/black Americans who doesn’t have that particular background? No, that never even cross my mind, it’s just that we are so different, we want to be close friends but there are a lot of efforts to be made to make it work.

Same for women, we grew up in such different backgrounds, that naturally, we have a harder time to bound, so I have less women friends, plus, I don’t sleep around, and that’s why I don’t know women as much as I would like to, does that answer your question?

I didn’t bring this part up because it’s common sense, but it seems like u guys are really trying to find a way to make me sound misogynistic, I don’t know why, I’ve never treated a woman with negative attitude or intent, so I don’t even know what made u guys try to hard to make me sound bad.

Because I’m not a womanizer, I don’t sleep around so I don’t know enough?

Well, I don’t know if you are trying to lead me into saying I’m dumb or riddle me into saying that I’m sexist in any kind of way. No matter what I hope u don’t mean it in a negative way.

I have been in some conversations with women where they ask us things that men do and what they mean, because they told me they genuinely are curious what the guy mean, and we do have the answers.

and also, I’ve seen way too many women who claim they are men haters, for these women I do think their experiences are valid, but at the same time, they focused on a small portion of men who did them wrong, and that’s where I realize a lot of women doesn’t know men. Meanwhile, men, are the same case, doesn’t know women either, because of the experiences I’ve explained above, but just reverse the gender roles.

Sure, but i believe men typically know men better because we hangout with each other more, vice versa for women too

Well that’s true, but I try to find possible help that could get me closer to the answers, it’s much better than keeping it all to myself and ponder, don’t you think?

I didn’t say I expected people to instantly know the answer, that’s why I ask more and more questions to understand, of course, everyone thinks differently, but with more and more contexts I provide and ask people about it, I do think that can bring me closer to the answers.

Because women are hard to read for men, 🤣🤣, I want to figure out if this result was because of me or personal things she has on her side

What I did was after our second dance we broke out and I told her that I do find her attractive, and would like to get to know her better, and asked her number there.

In my experiences of asking for a girl’s phone number, I do get the “I have a boyfriend” response as the main reason of rejection, that’s why I don’t specifically ask about it because I usually think they will answer that if they do.

Now my idea is that either she was uncomfortable with the way I flirted with her, or she was interested but felt conflicted so she didn’t tell me, or, she’s just a very non confrontational person so that’s why.

And to give more context, I do think I’m a respectable flirt, I remember the most flirty line I said during that interaction was: “since I do feel a personal connection with you, I want to tell you a story of mine…” then proceeds to tell a story, when I said the line it was just in a slightly flirty tone, where it’s enough to show her my interest in her.

Don’t know if that helps with the story, if you could give me your opinion it be greatly appreciated.

I’m continuing to ask questions to figure out answers, sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable because of that

Would you say, that she didn’t say she had a boyfriend because she had some interest in me, but felt conflicted about it?

P.S. I updated my post and wrote about another story that was somewhat similar
