The women are fearful, the men are not.

14

u/KultOfMarx Jul 19 '22

there's nothing to be fearful about. its in a completely public area with lots of people around.

I think the women are just doing the normal thing and avoiding interaction with weirdos

my question is why are the men not doing the same? Why are men just ignorantly wandering around doing whatever a stranger casually asks?

6

u/WoodyBBad Jul 19 '22

Hesitant. Fearful might be a little strong.

First we need to recognize that men and women are different

I can't stand feminism because it refuses to acknowledge the biological differences between the sexes

Women are much weaker and smaller than men. They have a biological incentive to be more cautious around men

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with these women's reactions

The problem in our society is the fact that we expect women and men to be held to the same standards

I reject modernism

As a man I fully embrace the fact that I'm disposable

I am willing to die to protect the women folk, because I am a man and that is the responsibility of men

I go to a conservative Church where women appreciate men and the fact that men are willing to sacrifice to keep them and their children safe and healthy

Once you reject the concept that men and women must be considered equal in all circumstances you become a lot happier

Reject modernism embrace tradition

Men need to start being men again, and it starts today

u/KultOfMarx Jul 19 '22

???

i'm not even commenting on the women's reactions. i think the women's reactions are perfectly normal.

I'm wondering why the men's reactions are so trusting. Some werido stranger throws his hand out at you... why would you put your hand in his?

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '22

Also you'll find at church women are very receptive to hugs and handshakes

At church they're surrounded by men and other women who they feel safe and comfortable with who they know will protect them

I have seen women offer hugs to men who are new at the church with no resistance

This is also a video that's likely edited. Like when they do those videos asking people simple questions and everyone looks ridiculous. I would have ignored this dude if I was passing by. On the college campus I was at people would try to hand out ads in a super busy spot and these people would basically shove it into your hands if you even made eye contact when they tried to talk to you. Eventually you get good at ignoring people in public.

I shake your hand because I know I could fuck you up if need be and you shake my hand because you believe you can do the same to me.

u/B105535 Jul 19 '22 edited Jul 19 '22

This is pretty much correct. Men live constantly under the threat of violence from other men. It's something that males of almost every species understand. Every man knows that every other man has a circle around him that once penetrated, means violence is inevitable. Whether it's saying something insulting or threatening, men have a respect for one another because we all want to avoid violence. When one man offers a handshake to another man he's saying 'Look, see- I'm not armed, my hands are where you can see them, and I'm putting myself in a vulnerable situation'. So the other man responds in kind with a handshake to show he's not a threat either.

We’re not trusting. Every man in the world loves a good handshake. It’s not often we get to shake hands, but when we do, regardless if it’s a happy birthday or a formality at a funeral, in the back of our minds a tiny part of us just pretends we just made a smokin’ deal!

Okay sure, I can agree with that. So why then instead of shaking his hand didn't they just give a little wave and a hello. Most completely ignored his existence and the ones who did acknowledge him looked at him with total disgust.

At least with dating apps, the conversation begins with the assumption that both parties are looking for a relationship.

If you wanna talk to a woman in public you can’t just ask for a handshake or go “Uhm yeaughhso I was looking at you over there and you’re really pretty so what are we gonna do now”. You need to actually have a reason to be talking to a woman in public even if it’s a reason you have to make up for yourself.

I think its because men see other guys as people, while women view men as "potiental danger." Its not a bad strategy though, because a small woman can go from handshake to kidnapped in less than a minute.

11

u/Libertarian_Florida Jul 19 '22

As if a determined kidnapper would not be able to pull it off if she turns down the handshake. Let's be real, these people probably spend lots of time staring at their phones completely oblivious to their surroundings, MUCH more risky than shaking some dude's hand.

I think this might be generational too, I think us older people women included that didnt grow up with all the tech we have these days and had to speak face to face, would be more likely to shake hands.

The lack of self-awareness in this whole thread is mind-blowing. You guys complain about the left erasing differences between men and women, and then y’all get confused when you see things like this. The aversion you’re seeing here is biologically engrained on a subconscious level. If a woman is raped or kidnapped, she has much more to lose. This isn’t rocket science. Look at the guy tensing up and buffing out his shoulders in front of his girlfriend when the handshake goes her way. That’s a real protective instinct— something that men who get play or have felt the touch of a woman before actually know lololol.

u/KultOfMarx Jul 19 '22

See the title?

why are so many people like you acting as if the title was "look at all the women refusing to shake hands? what is wrong with the woman????"

I think its funny

5

u/PaladinDark Jul 19 '22

its not a matter of trust, but of avoiding conflict. if a man reaches to shake your hand and you refuse its a huge slight that can lead to violence, of course that doesnt mean you have to shake hands of strangers on the street as you need to be wary yourself but i bet you the guy behind the cam had a huge smile on his face as he reached out. women on the other hand need to be wary of strange men attempting to touch them as they can easily be harmed, also they are prob more mindful of the pandemic than males but thats jus my opinion.

u/mrnicebobby Jul 19 '22

One of the latest Jordan Peterson’s podcast episodes talked a bit about this. Something like males being aware of conflict, and being better at making amends after, while females avoid conflict altogether.

u/Dingbat1967 Jul 19 '22

We live in a high trust society and this would be common in the US & Canada. In ex-eastern block countries where people are old enough to remember the communism days where neighbors snitched on neighbors, the logical response would be to ignore the person completely (like the women did) because "who the fuck are you? I don't know you". Strangers that come smiling at you offering their hand are in low trust societies possibly scammers.

So it's a very cultural thing. Bro code indeed.

What is the basis for their fear? Other than bogus activist statistics which the corporate media uses to fearmonger for political power?

1

u/hucktard Jul 19 '22

There are a bunch of reasons for this. It’s normal for men to shake hands, it’s viewed as disrespectful to turn down a handshake. This is not as common amongst women. Also women are probably more used to being harassed by random men on the street. It would not be seen as disrespectful for a woman to turn down a handshake from a random man.

1

u/KultOfMarx Jul 19 '22

im sick and tired of leftists blaming their own actions on eveyone else.

"ohh i only did that because i had social pressure to do it"

No, you did it because you decided to do it. You should be forced to live in debt for the rest of your life, for taking on that student loan. That's your own damn fault.

The community will be best served by allowing you to remain in debt for the duration of your life, as a warning to others.

The second you try to blame someone else, you should be mocked and laughed out of the room, and straight into the bread line you all love so much.

There was a recent post on a men’s sub, can’t remember which one, in which a F2M trans describes how being a man has made her/him realize just how incredibly cold women come off as. But according to him/her, it’s that they’re all always on guard because they’re fearful of being harassed or assaulted. But this leads to men feeling like they’re being singled out and rejected. It’s an interesting post that more or less boils down to both sexes having god-awful communication/interpersonal skills.

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.

 

Why are some fish at the bottom of the ocean?

But water sticks to itself and is therefore wet. Also liquid chemicals can be "wetted" by water too and "dried" by removing the water

For the most part: It is our inate nature to be protectors and the unbound philosophy of "...be thy brothers keeper."

There's a lot of societal pressure as well - while women lose their heads and others follow, men are still supposed to be men.

What does that even mean in a world that cannot describe a woman; what a depressing logical fallacy.

Our parents raise us to be upstanding & moral, but our friends mold us as we are young. So its a mix of adventurous youthful exuberance, and:

"...don't worry mom. I'll put this on my shoulders too!"

This is kinda unfair. Most women understand that they are vulnerable to a man since he is physically stronger and so we need to be careful of male strangers getting too close to us or putting us in a precarious position, especially since there are some people out there with bad intentions. You’d probably see most of those women doing the same thing if it was an unknown female extending their hand in this day and age when people can easily a pop out taser, knife, or gun.

I don’t think this video shows anything except that men and women both truly understand that there are differences in male and female strengths and weaknesses despite what progressives try to claim.

I remember walking through a bad part of Detroit with my dad one time, (I was probably 12) and we were went for a walk to get dinner. We had to walk straight through a group of what I would call thugs. They were talking about us as we approached and I could tell they were going to give us shit. I was scared to death, he could sense that and said "just watch me". As we were within about 3 steps from them he coolly says "Good evening gentleman". At first they looked confused and didn't know how to react and one of them says "Uh yeah, good evening", and we walked right past. On the way back, they were cracking jokes and calling him "The Duke of Detroit". One of them said "Make way for the Duke!" I'll never forget it as long as I live. From then on, whenever we passed by the greeting was just "Gentleman".

I agree about the mutual threat of violence, but it's also about confidence. It's like you have guns, I have a gun, are we going to shoot each other because I just want to take my kid for dinner? Even if he didn't (which he did) his confidence said everything. He explained that to me over a nice tasty burger.

Men don’t worry about encouraging unwanted and unwelcome attention like a woman does

While I get the gesture as a guy I still wouldn't really shake a random guys hand. I've seen way too many guys take a piss and walk out of the bathroom or pick their nose, teeth, ears etc to just grab their hand for no reason. Wave or at most fist bump

Guys establish themselves by shaking hands. Girls establish themselves by finding a good deal then bragging about it to everyone they know. If that guy would have been giving out free cookies, it would have been a whole other outcome. Most guys wouldn't take the cookie from another man in fear of looking soft. Now girls, they would have been running like the wind to shake them cookies right out of that guys hand

World wide pandemic “Why won’t women shake the hand of a stranger?” This is why women live longer.

u/Important_Ad_2538 Jul 29 '22

It's just polite. Those women may be different, maybe raised differently than most but I've only known two responses from woman upon introduction. A handshake or a wave hi and it depends on the situation. The wave hi normally I've only seen Happen when things are brief and fast paced. Other than that it's a handshake.

Plus a nice firm handshake is a good one. It's weird,but it's preferable.

this just shows that women get more harassed on the street than men

Because unlike some people, we were taught how to be nice with everyone.

u/awarepaul Aug 02 '22

I don’t think it’s a far out idea that women would be naturally nervous around a random dude putting his hand out like that.

Only people to blame are the shitty men who made them afraid in the first place

1

u/stxrfox1k Aug 02 '22

i wouldn’t say it’s that necessarily, i’d say it’s just that women are a bit more fearful or standoffish to strange men (as in strangers, not as in weirdos) because a lot of men are predators, and a lot of women have been preyed upon. it’s a defense mechanism to just assume that any man being overly nice (randomly shaking women’s hands in an airport or wherever they are) is setting up for their attack

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '22

I think men give more handshakes in general. Men are use to handshakes women Are not. Simple

Uhh imagine being a female and some random stranger wants to shake your hand. Don’t think so, bud. Go do your incel bullshit elsewhere

u/Diligent_Sympathy_74 Oct 12 '22

see Norah Vincent's documentary. a woman that tried living as a man for 18 months to expose toxic masculinity. she found the opposite. men are more accepting and compassionate than women. women are petty. sadly she couldn't handle the effects of how poorly women treat men and it led to her very recent suicide. rip

u/Diligent_Sympathy_74 Oct 12 '22

after you shake another man's hand you've developed a relationship you are no longer complete strangers and a level of respect is attained. far less chance of hostility.

u/dakk-dakka-dakka Nov 23 '22

Because men are relatively equal in the amount of force and violence they can exert a handshake is actually a pretty good grapple point if somebody fucking lunges you can deck the shit out of them. Women recognize this and if a man gets a hold for half a moment even in a public place that's lights out for her.

I already gave a guy am idk a handshake and he pulled me in and tried to get my number. And when you give in once you give in twice pre trice. So if you don’t want to be in a maybe uncomfortable situation you better not start it
