Don't forget the part where the meeting was anonymous and without consequences. The men would basically act like they would online.
If you believe people would act the same in person as they do online if there's no one around to judge them, I have a bridge to sell you.
I do act like I do online, I'm typically grumpy, but will help when asked.
With women, I'm a bit more awkward, but force myself to interact, so I got friends there. Not even trying to go romance or you know, fuck anyone atm.
I feel an almost smug superiority to my co-workers because I'm not afraid to hitch a ride with a woman. They don't act weird in a woman's presence, but talk sexualy about that same one all the time.
Their eyes and facial microexpressions give away when they're thinking creeper thoughts. Unfortunately, must of us learn the looks early in life. Your coworkers can tell you're safe and the other men aren't even without overhearing their sexualized speech. Thank you for not being a creep 💜
If you have to thank me for not being a creep, then we have really fallen far, haven't we?
