Are Adult males being victimised in these days?

Having lived abroad for a number of years what i have noticed is that Irish women are much, much less open to new people / strangers than women in other countries.

I think some of this is Irish cultural heritage - everyone lived in small villages until recently and knew everyone else. Another part though is media hysteria here which does not exist in other countries. Men and women get murdered by bad people in every country in the world but it's blown up out of proportion here compared to its statistical reality.

Why do you use the terms female and men?

not men and women?

Sorry but you are playing the victim here. . Even the title of your thread is a them and us. You are over analysing things and reading too much into it.

Some people are friendly and chatty, some are not.

Since I got my dog, men, women, children of all ages are way more wanting to start conversations than if I was just walking round myself.

if you are hurt that women don’t respond, then you may need help building your resilience and coping skills.

Don’t let that type of rubbish ruin your day or your mood. If they want to say hello, grand, if they don’t, grand as well.

It’s obviously more than just people are much less friendly than they once were, when 95% of the people you’re referring to are women. Why not just say women instead?

I don’t think the premise has any real basis anyways, you’re just older, seems to be the most reasonable explanation. It’s definitely not because you’re a man and they’re women, because that’s just silly, and the idea that men are being victimised or that you’re a victim because women aren’t as friendly to you as they once were when you were younger? You must surely be able to see why people would see your claiming to be a victim as a stretch!

"These days however, I’ve noticed that women look the other way or just ignore me - men are absolutely pleasant and fine with it."

So, if it isn't about women not responding then why did you specifically say both that it was the women that look away or ignore you and that the men were fine with it?

And no, people not saying "good morning" back to you doesn't make you a victim. You are not entitled to their attention. It is great that you are a positive person. But you should know that if you try to engage the same women in conversation every day, even though they've ignored your attempts in the past, that will likely be considered creepy behavior by them. And I haven't seen anyone comparing you to a rapist. But those women that are ignoring you don't have any way of knowing that you aren't one. It isn't like rapists wear signs. And so a lot of women have learned over the years that simply not engaging strangers is the safest course of action for them.

What are you a victim of? Some women not saying hello?

Relax brah 😬

Claims the thread is about people being less friendly than they once were then goes off on a mad rant about women 😂

What's the opposite of "retract"?

😂

What you describe here sounds like you have a bit of cop-on and social awareness. Maybe the OP doesn't have that. It's hard to know why they wouldn't use discretion, if they have the social skills to figure it out.

hahahahaha WOW. You were doing okayISH but that is a hilarious mask slip.

Again. Weird incels. I don't agree with the initial postors opinion, but that sort of talk is insulting and bullying.
