While you are correct about the notions fed down from the zeitgeist about how people view one another in almost individualised glass houses, never to get close, it's also very true that men have no way of knowing when that "normal" girl is actually normal, or if that "average" girl is actually average.

More specifically, how does a guy know that a woman browsing books at a bookstore or shopping for food in the grocery store isn't some Tiktok harpy ready to whip out her phone the minute a man approaches so she can go viral calling him a harasser or yelling for the manager to say he's making her "feel uncomfortable" and getting the police involved? And before people say "That doesn't happen bro, just be a good tradcuck and ask her out!" I give you a few examples:

Some of those are just outright enraging, and when you look at the women making those false claims, you can see they look like typical average wenches.

So it becomes a game of Russian roulette (almost literally) as you have no idea if approaching some woman might result in a simple "No, sorry, I have a boyfriend/husband" or permanently ruin your life like some of the men in those linked stories.

And the really sad part about it, is that even if you manage to avoid being accused of something you didn't do, you still have to deal with the 50% divorce rates, initiated 80% of the time by women because they just didn't "feel" like the relationship was what they wanted.

I have been lucky to avoid those scenarios, but those were decades ago before all of this escalated to the point of where it is now, and I feel bad and sad for young men who have no way of navigating the current landscape. And that's not even getting into the slatterns pretending to be pure and posing as "born again virgins" in church after spending their good years riding the carousel operated by Chad Thundercock and Tyrone Dickerdown.
