I feel like the root of all of the issues in that video is "social media"

I’ve only watched the first 1/4ish if this and may not be able to finish it partly because I am going be disagreeing with most of it

Asmongold is right that women want to be approached by men they find attractive and not be approached by men they find very unattractive or creepy. That’s a fucking duh

But in the middle there’s the rest of us. That being generally fairly average looking dudes who have clean clothes on, are hygienic, and generally look like a professional that can exist in a social society without causing problems whereever they go. And that’s the majority of people and the majority of rejections

And in that majority, how the girl does the rejection and how the girl and the guy handles and categorizes the rejection is entirely dependent on each person’s social skills and ability to read people. The other commenter in the video who is some content creator who I don’t watch and thus don’t know his name said, it’s pretty obvious if a girl you are talking to is interested in you. And he’s right, it should be, but it’s not for a lot of guys because they have garbage social skills which includes the ability to read others

And more importantly, this group of guys (or girls, this doesn’t go one way), not only would miss signs of interest, they would also miss signs of disinterest and keep pursuing

And those types of guys are who the “put on blast” videos are about. And even though there are a lot of guys who couldn’t read a room to save their life, the amount of guys targeted by some tik tok video or Reddit thread making fun of them is like 0.0000000001% of the population

So having a video making fun of you is a non issue. And even being rejected in an embarrassing way is a non-issue. Guys are getting brainwashed by the thousands to THINK it’s an issue though. Know why? Because a video of a girl politely telling a guy “no thanks” and the guy saying “no problem” isn’t fucking interesting. It won’t go viral

So only these (sometimes crazy themselves) girls freaking the F out and rejecting a dude in some embarrassing way go viral, and dumb gullible guys thinks this is somehow the norm in our society

No, countless average looking men are being rejected by thousands in polite ways and accepting that rejection in polite ways. It is happening dozens of times a night in bars and clubs across the country. This fear of being put into a video for approaching a girl may as well be a fear of getting buttfucked by Bigfoot. It’s probably not going to happen to you

Did maybe 2 minutes but that good looking redhead looks like she's in Central Park in NYC.

Don't care to endorse NYers dictating our culture in either direction so I'll end my comments there.

64 texts exchanged in 24 hours since the date with that gal. Enjoyable though, nothing monotonous. She is good at asking questions, that is generally more rare than people think. A good interviewer is a rare thing. But her having 2 weeks off back home is going to mean a busy two weeks for me, it seems

One thing I remembered about that date was that the hostess asked if the other person coming was a guy or girl, what name, what will they be wearing. I’d never gotten that from a hostess before so I told her and was like “wow, what service, they’ll show her where I am because it’s busy”

But she said right off the bat the hostess took her to some older dude with a mullet and she was like “am I being catfished?” I realize now that’s actually a sales tactic. Show a worse product first, called the contrast effect. So the hostess unknowingly was being a great wingwoman. Thanks klutzy but well-meaning hostess /fistbump

there's usually a whole hidden menu of services provided by wait staff depending on the restaurant and how savy the crew is if the money is right from the mundane of how you handle handing out the bill at the end so someone can flex to wingman stuff from your brother from another mother.

i really miss waiting tables sometimes

Tipped the waitress well because she was awesome, one of the best waiters I had ever had. But couldn’t tip the hostess I don’t think. Although don’t some places pool all their tips at the end or is that just strip clubs? I might be thinking strip clubs because I been to a few lol

She kinda walked into this one. You toss me a layup I’m gonna Dad Joke the shit outta it

Aww it won’t let me upload to the server anymore. Hope that gets fixed

I had to upload the damn pics to some website like a fucking peasant instead. Girl was some 5’1 gorgeous Asian, and I’m like Jesus, girl is that all spandex? She said she was dressing casual because it was hot as shit. But I didn’t expect fitness model build and full spandex. Smokin…

I honestly felt she was out of my league and she seemed somewhat disinterested, in a “I know how hot I am” sorta way. And the Korean BBQ place was a total shitshow. Grill wouldn’t stay lit, they didn’t bring half of our order. We both had to alternate giving them “bad cop, bad cop” because they were honestly that much of a bunch of fuckups. And I’m normally super patient. But I wasn’t about to have her fighting my battles for me lol

But this gal still smart and makes far more money than I. I honestly felt I had little chance but she said yes to a second date, thus far at least. This was more out of boredom and because I didn’t think I had much of a shot, so why not. Will prolly not last the other one is solid and I don’t think we have quite the same chemistry
