Hm. There are totally times when I go looking for social contexts where strangers strike up conversations, like a bar. But in general? Sometimes I’m busy. I don’t think adult women spend every waking moment waiting to meet “the one” (and sometimes we already have!)

OTOH “talk to more strangers” is excellent advice for single dudes trying to date, or for anyone with social anxiety really. If the worst “harm” you inflict is mild annoyance, it’s not that bad.

Shy people obsess over whether they’d be rude by initiating contact, and totally overlook the ways in which they’re *already* being rude by being standoffish or not getting back to people. (Speaking as a recovering shy person.)

i agree, be open, but be gracious. the number one thing I push back against is *negging* this really has to go.

hm. it does often seem mean. I never liked being on the receiving end. otoh i’m not sure negging investors or big-ticket sales prospects isn’t fair game.

it's caused psychosis in society it makes it super hard to be an attractive female in an male profession without having your guard up. it's already super hard to be "less than attractive" as a female in many places. don't believe me? try walking around in drag for like an hour.

oh ok! yes, negging is bad. but females neg men behind their backs also. the whole thing is bad. the rich neg the poor, the poor neg the rich. we should be able to be ourselves and be positive!
