Why is it some men get all offended if a woman they don't know is wary around them?

226. It's pretty simple.

Let me answer point by point.

"Why is it that some men get offended if a women they don't know is wary around them?"

A--because they are insecure and you made them feel bad about themselves. ( Which is not your problem btw. You have the right to react anyway you feel to.)

"Just a few minutes ago. . . "Are you staying out of trouble?"

A--it sounds like the guy got bad advice on how to approach women. He does have the right to approach you, you never know what healthy relationship you may find my meeting new people, but obviously you weren't likewise minded, which is perfectly ok, and up to you.

"BTW my mother taught. . . Teaches her daughter that."

A--This sounds too passive and or paranoid for me to agree. But if it is what you want it is up too you. It is socially fine.

"Why should I be obliged to drop my guard. . . "

A--You are not obliged. There is no social rule for when or when not to talk to strange guys. It sound a little like you are unsure of yourself. Why has the guys reaction bothered you so? This is the more important question. Do emotional sanctions by other make you feel bad about your actions, make you feel socially inadequate. I am asking because I always wonder about people who bitch about the other gender when the situation they bitch about doesn't seem like anything to get upset about. A insecure guy approaches a strange woman with a awkward line and the woman gives him a dirty look. The insecure guy throws a fit. It sounds like he has a problem not you. So what is your angst about?

You can't control him, but you can accept yourself.
