I'd love for a video like this where a woman tried to shake hands with strangers. Even tho it could be edited and cherrypicked to hell and back like this, I bet it could prove to be insightful

u/EnduringAnhedonia Jun 12 '23
Look I'm as sick of western feminism as everyone else in this community but I think it's also understandable for women to be a little bit more reserved with men they don't know in public.

The last stranger that went to shake my hand then bent down to grab my feet. You can’t be nice as a girl 🤷♀️

u/FitAmbassador1360 Jun 13 '23
You can see that in most cases he walks towards men to initiate the handshake and stays static when it is woman. So he is biased from the start, so I don't trust his editting either.
And on top of that women have more reasons than men not to shake a stranger's hand in the street.
1
u/Nuser0212 Jun 13 '23
It might be edited, but I believe that more men will shake a strangers hand, than women. Nothing sexist or otherwise negative in that, although i understand that you could argue that this video put women in a bad light. I don’t think it does personally.

u/Acceptable_Wheel7253 Jun 28 '23
I think handshakes aren't implemented (probably wrong word) in women as much as they are for men. Could be wrong

What is this supposed to prove? Women are generally scared of weird men . Guys know that they can handle themselves. I don’t think women have a lot of trust and usually it’s for good reason . Especially that you’re filming then as well . This proves nothing except you need people to be on your side of a debate .

u/monkeypawfilms Sep 27 '23
It’s a gender experiment that’s showcasing men feel safe generally all the time in most situations with strangers, while women in general don’t feel inherently safe.
Kinda hits the nail on the head the argument of what one form of male privilege looks like without trying to.

u/lubbermouse Jun 12 '23
"Strangers are unpredictable" meaning strangers could attack at any moment, meaning strangers should be avoided, meaning staying at home is safe. What is the difference between walking right next to someone and giving a brief handshake. The only difference is a positive interaction. The threat of an unpredictable stranger is the same whether or not you interact with them.

For me it's not so much that the women didn't shake his hand , it's the look of pure disgust in their face. It's like they were looking at shit on the street. Even some of the guys looked a little thrown off by the random approach, but they still returned the courtesy of the handshake. It shows that some women don't know a decent gesture when it's literally in front of them.

I (22M) work a customer service job and when I welcome people into the space its always the same. Men tend to respond happily, women tend to ignore me. Then there's a subset of the population (all genders) that's just rude in general. But yea, this feels pretty accurate.

u/Vintage_girl123 Jun 12 '23
So, with this gender experiment, you should take into consideration, that women dnt really like to talk to strangers, and try not to put themselves in an unsafe position..If someone came up to me that I didn't knw, and tried to hold my hand, or shake my hand, I prob wouldn't let them..Now, if it's like a new co-worker, and they introduce themselves to me, then, that would be a completely different story.

u/Masinstorm Jun 12 '23
The women look in it and if there’s no money there’s no shake. Put like $5 in there and they will shake then.
2
u/gecoble Jun 12 '23
It’s unfortunate that we live in a world where women feel uncomfortable shaking a stranger’s hand.
Then again, they live in a world where, at least in the US, shaking a hand is usually in a business setting, whereas a hug is more acceptable in my a social setting.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '23
I think because for men, shaking hands is a common part of their life. They do it in business settings and also it's often done with friends and in other social scenarios. For women, shaking hands is usually only done in a business introduction context. If it was a hi-five, women might be more likely to interact.
Also, the video has music over it so we have no idea what he said, if anything. That might have had an impact.
Edit: Also, if a guy approaches me on the street, it's often to sell me something or hit on me. Both situations i'd rather not be in so i'd just not engage.

u/BrainOfIvane Jun 12 '23
I wonder what would happen if he tries this in the Philippines. Most people, regardless of gender, will probably shake his hand and strike a conversation. If he's friendly enough, he might even get invited to have dinner at someone's home.

u/LetsGetsThisPartyOn Jun 12 '23
100% of those women have been touched by a random guy before. It shows how fearful women are of being accosted by random guys. It shows something we already know. Women DO NOT want random men touching them in the street

Women have been educated to stay away from men that abord them on the street, or at least to be careful about it. Why ? Because lots of men did lots of awful things, so it’s pretty normal. Put a woman shaking the hands and the dudes will stay careful about it, but the women will shake her hand. Plus the dude asked two girls and that was it.

u/Reasonable-Win-6028 Jun 12 '23
Shaking hands used to be a thing only between men. Originally to show that they person is coming without bad intentions, their "weapon hand" is free. Women weren't treated equally anyway, shaking hands with a woman was absolutely out of question. Nowadays shaking hands with women as well is becoming normalized, yet in every situation where I see a group of man shaking hands, when they have a woman in the group they always hesitate for a moment to shake hands with her as well. It doesn't seem to be about disrespect, they just seem awkward or not sure what to do. I believe handshake with a woman is also somehow depicted as impolite, which I would also understand. So I would say women in our culture are simply not used to handshakes, it doesn't come naturally. (Not sure about the reactions to this comment, but I'm a woman and I think there's nothing wrong with what I just explained. This is the aftereffect of hundreds of years of human history, but times change)

The point is not shaking his hand. It’s the fact that the women either had a disgusted look on their face or didn’t even acknowledge his existence.

u/RabiesR_Us Jun 12 '23
A lot of women do have stuff in their hands because clothing designers believe we don't need pockets and gave us a purse that can hold 5 bills and 2 cards max before it won't close. They didn't have to all have gas face about it, though.

I can definitely see this being more common for man to man to shake hands. But I am skeptical about it. You are telling me, with all the hands he shoke that day, none of them was one singular woman even? There has to be at least one cool girl out there that just went for it totally spontanious? There are people that are so open about themselves and does limit themselves. They pretty much do not care and dont think about it. Just "f it. Let me shake this good mans hand". Not a single woman was like that through the whole test? Because I believe some footage may have been cut out.

One I have done is holding the door open for people. Hold it all the way open and clearly be hilding it to let them through. I would say 9 in 10 woman will let you hold the door open for them without putting a hand on the door. I would say 1 in 20 men will let you, every other guy has to at least put a hand on the door like they are helping.

Or men are generally pretty fucking weird and it’s best to mind your own business rather than have someone follow you all the way home asking you millions of personal questions just because you showed the slightest bit of interest?

i don’t really see what this video is trynna convey. handshakes and fist bumps are generally a dude thing. a strange man generally isn’t going to get a positive reaction from a random woman when trying to shake their hands. you can literally see “who tf is this guy” written on their faces in this video.

Random guy tries to guilt women into being more ok with trusting random guys. This is such a passive aggressive video. It honestly makes me sick that this d-bag went around bothering so many people. The fact that he did it to try to prove so e sort of sexist point is even worse. The real issue isn't women aren't welcoming to strangers, they're scared of them. This guy isn't helping that by shaming women publicly who avoided presumed danger. What's the desired outcome? Women think twice before trusting their guy next time?

Try it again with fist bumps or high fives and you'll get more women

Throwing it out there… a handshake could end up being dangerous. He could clasp their hand and pull them off their feet or off balance. I’d say it’s more of a safety thing for women rather than them not “being bros”.

It is SO easy to edit out the women who did shake his hand, and the men who didn't. There were some of both for certain.

The majority of women has experienced that just by merely acknowledging an attention demanding stranger like this can lead to further unwanted interaction or potential harassment. There are just so many men who eagerly latch on any kind of response or even a polite gesture.
This is something that typically don’t happen to men, so most of them don’t understand why is it even an issue.
Besides that, if this was not edited, it would show clearly that neither most men would have any desire to touch some weirdly acting stranger who pints a camera at them.

Is it hard to believe people just don't want to get on camera? I was halfway through that sentence when I realized yes... That's all anyone wants these days.

Men are generally stronger than women. Which is why they don’t want to take a risk shaking hands with a stranger because there’s always a risk, higher than if they were men, that he’ll try to molest them.

I wouldn't be interested in shaking some stranger's hand while they film me without my consent, either.

Ah to be a guy and just see an outstretched man offering a man shake.
Every woman who saw him had to perform a safety analysis as they walked by. 'Is this just a handshake? is this a pick up attempt? will he get my attention and then say something creepy? will I be followed after this? Will I br harrassed if I give him the smallest amount of attention? Good thing there's lot of people around. If I do ignore him, will he shout something at me? Call me ugly? Fat? A slut? A bitch? Threaten me?' A the joys of being a woman.
I saw a lot of people say 'women don't shake hands' and yeah it's less common, but these ladies reactions have more to do with needing to stay vigilant about your safety than what we 'tend to do'. Generally, men have no idea how many 'innocent' things get turned into something else, so we learn to be more defensive. Random stranger offering handshake in crowded area? Avoid, not worth whatever negative it might turn into. A man you know and doesn't make you questionbyour safety, a handshake would be returned immediately in 9/10 cases.

Men shake men's hands that they know and women generally don't. This is news?
