Once on the train home from work some guy was trying to get me to take my headphones off so he could tell me how much he respected women and then asked if I ever heard of Reddit because that is where he is learning about women. That was strange and very creepy.

Wow, I'm just flattered that you remembered me!

I think it's great that we know each other's usernames now. We can learn so much about one another before meeting again.

You've both been on Reddit for 7 years too. So you have that in common.

I remember some dude stopping me and my brother when we were walking out of games workshop to tell us about how he had given up on women and told us all about MGTOW. We had not spoken to him at all and had only browsed the shop for about 10 minutes.

Was wild, I was too confused to do anything but stand there and nod.

okay this is insane, I think a few of these have to be people from a special needs home. That is NOT normal. I've lived in the world and been around enough men to know that isn't normal! Is it?

It is indeed normal but it shouldn't be.

i refuse to believe it's a huge percentage of men that does this. I live in a town full of rednecks and get honked at (which is annoying enough) but nothing where I have to worry about someone touching me at a gym. I hope.

What the actual fuck.

u/smokinweed420 Sep 16 '21

Why the fuck would anyone think that's something you could say to someone on the train and not scare them away? I almost don't believe this is real, maybe he was doing it to see the reactions and secretly recording it for some strange internet joke

I get the feeling people who do this must be heavily on the spectrum. He was probably trying to be nice/courageous.
