There are two types of men in the world, those who are cautious, and those who are the reason why the rest are cautious.

I work myself to near death to be able to afford rent. I don’t have time for date.

This is me, I am afraid of women

This is me, but not (only) because I’m scared, but because it was drilled into me that asking girls out anywhere except for a bar or club is disrespectful.

And I don’t go to bars or clubs.

As a 32 year old man that has never talked to a woman, women are scary

Death of the third place… not saying it’s the only reason but it’s a big one.

I’m not gonna go annoy ppl in person. Gotta let them have the easy out (ghosting and blocking)

Almost 100% of women aged 18 – 45 have never asked a man out in person.

No sir we don’t do that here

That is a creepy thing to do

What is “woman”?

Lmao, wtf

Eh, I tried. Im over it

i can attest that never asked a wome turning 20 this sep

I’ve never been able to ask a women out in person. Like every part of me just absolutely does not want to…

I have asked a couple guys out though

Rookie numbers.

I expect nothing less than 82%

Pump em up

I’m kinda curious about the other side of the spectrum 👀

You could’ve stopped at ”asked a woman out”.

They’ll be more surprised when they do research on the above 25 as well

Never have and I never will

We’re an antisocial generation. Only tracks, world population is at extreme highs, we know some form of climate catastrophe is going to – at the very least – make modern life a bit less comfortable in the coming century or so, and the internet can allow for all manor of social interaction. We can live alone and also be with friends.

People will say we’re a generation plagued with mental illness, but with a laymen’s understanding of history I’m not quite convinced we’re the first. I think our reactions are more reasonable than most would admit. Who wants kids when the best time to be alive is now and we can’t possibly give them that?

How many women, same age group, have asked men out?

I drive Lyft, and picked up a guy from a bar, and we talked about how his night went. He said he went to the bar alone, so I asked if he met any cute girls and got any numbers. He said no. I pointed out the two attractive women leaving the bar after him and said their were clearly women to approach, and he laughed and said “And then what, I just text them and they’re like ‘who dis?’ because they were too drunk to remember giving me their number?”

Yes. You text them the next day, and when they say they don’t remember giving you their number (assuming it’s their actual number and they don’t automatically block you), you turn on the charm and say something like “Oh that’s funny, last night you were saying I was the cutest guy you’ve ever seen as you put your number in my phone” or something simple like that. The social paralysis is insane with Gen Z.

I think the ‘in person’ here is pretty key. Of the relationships in my small group of friends more than 50% started with a confession over text or an instant messaging service like discord.

And it’s not like this is a new thing, people have been writing love letters for millennia. It’s not (entirely) that men don’t know how talk to women, it’s that confessing to someone in person is hard/scary for most people, and now there are convenient socially acceptable alternatives.
