There are women who legitimately complain online/ to friends because they are asked out when they dress up and go to bars.

That and I’ve learned over the years that a lot of times a “creepy” guy is just someone they didn’t find attractive

I'm willing to bet that number is above 80%. Sure, there are the occasional crazy stalkers (of both sexes, but for some reason only one gets talked about a lot) but the overwhelming majority of creepy is just "ewwww, why are you talking to me you peasant?!" Just like a lot of so-called rape cases (especially in college settings) are "I met a guy, slept with him and then regretted it, so it must be rape"

Haven’t some guys been accused of rape for that precise reason?

Fact is that a lot of men are just awkward, especially when approaching women. It makes sense to be creeped out if a guy hits on you while being unattractive, looking at his shoes and stuttering and mumbling.

I had a drunk girl walk up to me, punch me in the chest and when I looked at her confused, she ran off crying. Women are far more spergy at “flirting” when they have to initiate.

There was one where a girl was receiving oral sex from an incredibly hot guy, when it became socially embarrassing she went along with the feminist pressure and told the cops she was raping her.

There was a video (pg-13 and no it's not sexy) so there's doubt how absurd this claim was.

Or someone who's had their confidence shattered by a lifetime of being fed anti-male propaganda along with arbitrary, contradictory "rules" about how they're supposed to interact with women.

A lot of people would be inclined to agree with most of what you have to say if you had any idea when you've gone too far.

I've repeatedly explained to you in explicit detail why I (and I assume many others as well, judging by the downvotes you attract) get sick of your antics. You just ignore it.

And in this case I'll go again, I agree that there's a shit ton of negativity thrown at boys and men. I lived it in the 80s and it's only gotten worse since then.

Where you go off the deep end is "and all women are hateful people and involved in a conspiracy to destroy all men and boys." That's where you earn the downvotes.

I've had absolutely gorgeous women tell me I'm hot and I've had average women act like I'm a trog. There's no ryhme or reason to shit but it definitely feels like the average has gotten a massively inflated ego because of social media and makeup

It's a way to show social status. They don't really complain, they broadcast "many men find me attractive". But they can't be open with that, thus they "complain".

They started with humblebragging, which os obnoxious to begin with, and weaponized it.
