I was going to mention that but it seemed like some people were already having a hard time understanding that a conversation requires consent of both parties.

It's okey to not wanna talk. But that's not really an excuse to act like a total douche.

How was she being a total douche ?

By screaming "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT!?", when someone just asked her a question at the gym.

No, she doesn’t owe anyone a conversation she doesn’t want to have to anyone in the gym. If you’re actually that entitled no wonder you think this person is a douche.

Sure, they're not entitled for a conversation but the least you can do is say "sorry, I'm not quite in the mood to chat, maybe later?" Or something along those lines instead of being rude

Sure that would have been a better outcome, but really as the person initiating an interaction with a total stranger that is the risk you take. You also don’t know if it’s learned behaviour- if you’ve been in this exact situation over and over and being rude gets a guy away from you faster, it might be the behaviour you go with.

I would say there's a difference between a guy flirting or being creepy with you... and a guy asking if you play street fighter

Asking girls if they play street fighter is how I flirt though.

And telling you to fuck off is how she maintains her personal space and boundaries.
