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

230. Yep

A straight men's dilemma, not to imply that women are in the wrong as they are not, is that we are expected to approach but then can get called a creep if we do, but if we don't, women will ask "why" and we will get called a "wimp," "passive," "unmanly." What are we to do?

It is really simple, have inner confidence that doesn't need validation from the reactions from women. Approach when you want to ( ideally at a good time, not in a dark parking lot or if she is obviously busy) and if she is not interested not to take it personally.

I see nothing wrong with the event that the OP describes except for the reaction of the guy, which just screams insecurity--he doesn't have inner confidence.

There is nothing we can do about the dilemma. What he should had done was notice that the OP wasn't interested, understand that she was uncomfortable being approach, and just chalk it up to how HE handled it, and not take it personally; he should of just walked away. That's what I do. I learned along time ago that rejection isn't personal, it is just what it is. The woman has no obligation to converse.

Also body language can tell you if someone is willing to chat. Many men can not read body language at all. I am sure the OP body was closed, her head was down, he should had noticed. Or the poster above talking about reading when guys would force themselves on her space. If a girl is looking at a book it is a pretty good clue that she isn't interested. This is not hard, yet so many men are mind blind to body language.
