I personally just don't want to disappoint cute girls (I will (I have (in every case where I created expectations))) but I do think a lot of the counter-metoo commentary psyched guys out rather excessively 

 Its definitely the metoo or whatever thats exacerbating things I think, rejection has been a thing forever and most guys could deal because it used to be "the worst thing she can say is no". The game has shifted and it feel like to a lot of guys that if you dont engage within the bounds of predetermined engagement zones, the consequences have the potential to be more dire. 

 But that feeling doesn't have any basis in reality. Irl if you ask a woman for her number she'll say "I have a boyfriend" and that's the end of it, that's rejection. Your face doesn't get plastered all over the news cus the barista didn't want to give you her phone number. 

 I approached a girl and within a minute she told me she thinks I'm gonna rape her.
In a public plaza, with dozens of people staring at us. 

In some small town, in bumfuck nowhere. It's simply the case you can't believe that vast majority of women believe that shit and are even more neurotic than ''those neurotic guys.'' 

 Thats insane 

 They definitely ARE more neurotic than the guys but I imagine your experience is an extreme outlier 

 you're all spergs on an anime appreciation website, none of you know anything about "approaching" women. 

 I'm literally married 

 yes, so you aren't actually approaching women and trying to get dates with women. 🙃 

 Also true!
