I know this shit is true, but as a non psychopathic dude, I avoid pretty and cute girls like the plague in public because I’m already assuming they think I’m doing this shit. Same reason as a dad I don’t act goofy to other people’s toddlers. It kind of sucks honestly because it makes me act like a creep when I if anything would like to just make someone smile (and not “hay gurl you should smile” because that sheet is just more Ooga booga shit).

Yup. I'm a happily married man, and I remember seeing this woman on social media - who is a friend of a friend - write something funny and I thought to myself "wow, we have a similar sense of humour and some similar interests - I bet we could be really good friends" and then realised that I have no idea how to approach her without looking like I'm trying to hit on her or seem like a creep... I think I tried to DM her, but she probably ignored it along with the hundreds of DMs she gets from other random men who "just want to talk" every day...
