      Hitting on people is equivalent to racial segregation and centuries of hatred…? Besides that whole can of worms, how did your parents meet? My dad hit on my mom at a summer camp. I met my wife by hitting on her at a store. Hitting on people is the most traditional way people hook up. Weird to me that people are trying to demonize public flirting.

        People like you want to demonize the desire to be left alone by strangers, and sadly you’re in the majority, so stop whining.

          Humans are social creatures by nature. Some of us prefer to be left alone, but others welcome the company and advances of strangers. I don’t think it makes sense to demonize people for wanting to be left alone, but respect goes both ways. People are going to flirt. People are going to like it, other people aren’t. Everyone is valid. Reject and move on. Be rejected and move on.

          You’re one of those super special ‘introvert’ people, that aren’t really introvert, but just anti-social, right? What have the bad, bad extroverts done to you? Did you have to leave your house and go to work? Or did you even have to talk to a cashier yesterday. Poor soul.

            And you are one of those “forced social” who accost people with headphones when you’re bored or horny, and then call the uninterested women “removed” and the uninterested men “assholes” when you don’t engage directly in fights with them, right?

            You’re not entitled to people’s attention or interest.

              You’re a dumbass. I never engaged anyone with headphones, because that’s a clear sign of not wanting to communicate. Your dumb mug isn’t one. Maybe you should stay in your 4 walls or wear a sign with ‘I’m an anti-social twat, so don’t talk to me.’, if you don’t want anybody talking to you ever. Smartass.

                That may be true (I doubt it, but whatever), but legions of guys don’t care about that kind of hint.

                Yeah, I see how engaging with you it’s certain to be a delightful experience.

      I nearly puked myself reading that comparison. You getting hit on in the Gym is nothing like being a black person in the 50s.

      I couldn’t* care less what it reads like to you, in your world nobody talks to anyone and everything is black and white. I’m good, I won’t ever want to live in your world.
