    As a woman I have to say this is true. If you smile there will be at least one “funny” or “nice” message in the end of the day

      As a man neither me nor my friends to my knowledge ever texted, messaged or try to communicate with a woman just because she smiled, laughed or joined the conversation in any way. However I’ve met with many delusional women whom thought men responding to them in a normal manner because of their early communication as a sign of those men attracted to them, trying to hook up etc… This being said, I know for a fact that there are also delusional men around whom would think you’re giving signals even though you’re not. However that’s not the standard nor they are a majority, neither men nor women. If you’re finding yourself in such an environment then you should realize you’re not in a healthy environment nor the people around you are normal.

        There are always exception but women live in constant fear. We can’t know if you are a nice guy or a “nice guy” and so we build a wall. There are FOR SURE pscyco women as there are men, and good people also exist, the fact is that being a woman is already dangerous in the world we live in. As a woman I tend to stay professional and serious in enviroments that I don’t want attention because I had very bad experiences with co workers before. I can’t be rude or mean, it’s not even who I am, but I have to be stone face.

        Also, I’m old. Maybe the new generation of men are better and things will be better for the young girls

        edit: I’m in my phone, in a car,.with no glasses so sorry for any mistakes lol

          I understand that the world we live in is dangerous for women and children. I also respect your personal experience. In the end I can’t change what you experienced and you can’t change mine. I’m just against making a generalization and classifying people as one or another. In the end we are products of our environment and any generalisation we make is the result of what we know/experienced instead of being objective. As for the age I don’t agree with it but I also acknowledge that times are changing and our values changing with it.

          I wish you well and I hope that you’ll have better experience and be happy. Take care, stay safe and healthy.
