Is this the social norm?

Post Reply New Topic

Sometimes If I go out to bars (in my hometown) on my own more often than not if strangers approach me wanting to hang out or be my friend it will most likely be men not women who approach me

So the question I ask is it the social norm perhaps that a women (who is a stranger ) will rarely walk up to a guy wanting to hang out or bed buddies? Perhaps women fear that men might interpret there friendliness as romantic interest?

It could just be where I live though because in the south of England women down here think they are the best thing since sliced bread. On nights out I have found that women from the north of the United Kingdom such as Scotland are much less reserved.

Yes, I believe this is the norm. Drinking buddies is really the only socializing I've ever been able to do, too bad I don't drink anymore.

Yep.....women tend to fear a guy misinterpreting their friendly overtures.

There is a basis for this. I have mistaken friendly overtures for romantic interest.

But how does one even tell the difference? Women rarely talk to me ever, so when one does, it feels extra special.
