I’ve been lurking on Bsky, a new replacement for social media, and women seem to be entirely uninterested in talking to men in most cases. They’ll say that things like they’re looking for new female friends, they love seeing beautiful women in their feed, they reply to other women who comment on their posts… But they tend to ignore men entirely. Even if a guy is just being platonic or speaking in a similar manner to a woman, they’re completely ignored. To test this, I changed my profile picture to that of a female anime avatar but I didn’t change my tone or manner of speaking at all. All of a sudden, I had people replying to me, saying nice things, being responsive to me. It’s like they assumed I was female, so I was ok to respond to.
Why do women avoid men so much?
Are you good looking?
I’m average, I’d say. My partner says otherwise, but she’s biased. I haven’t always had my face on there though and the previous picture was of a road. I’m sure there’s a bias based on perceived attractiveness, but I really don’t think that has much to do with the level, or quality, of the interactions I’ve experienced.
