I went to the shop and I saw two hot girls, so I stared at them and looked them up and down. Why did they run away?

I know its a bit different for women but men also are risk adverse. In nature and in the past it was women who stood to lose from random encounters because they might get pregnant or might at least get their reputations damaged. Now pregnancy only happens or only lasts if they want it to. There is no such thing as the need for a woman to be chaste in western society. Women are risk free to seek attention anywhere they get tingles. Its not so for men. Women are known to expect to extract value from you, known to be mentally hard work, might end up involving you in drama or even false accusations of doing what she invited you to do but not exactly when she wanted you to.

Women are resource consuming effort demanding manipulative drama factories with an often loose relationship with truth and fact. Attractive ones come with an army of admirers. What's in it for me? Oh yeah I might get to unload in her if she feels like it. But maybe its not worth the risk to me.

Remember if an unknown hot woman is coming on to you when you have not even got into normal conversation, something is a bit off. Either you are super hot yourself (and you would know that by the age of 15) or she does this quite a bit. You are not the only guy she did this to this month, week or probably even day.

Remember many would like to have her but they are not having her are they? So something is off. Might be a scam, might be an unhinged slut gone a bit manic for attention. Best walk on boy. There is nothing good for you there.

I want the cake I have eaten back again. Give it to me wonder man who is rich and attractive yet can't see it and is strangely humble and shy.

The man she is looking for is the equivalent of an old man who has a run down farm that the city has been built all round. He thinks its a run down farm, she sees it as development land but buys it for the price of a run down farm. There may occasionally be some poor old farmer she can rip off but she will never rip off an attractive rich man in his prime like that. Rich attractive men know their value. She is a run down farm. Was probably very fertile decades ago but now the desert is advancing and there is mostly sand in the valley bottom where once fresh streams always ran. She is a bargain lot now, she can't trade for prime real estate. She would be best sold at auction to someone experienced and ready to go, who knew how to squeeze the last drops out of anything.

The other day I went on a coastal walk with a work friend (female). We both have dogs and I usually upload photos of my dog/ activities with dog to my Instagram story. I don’t commonly upload other people in my stories.

We were sitting down and I recorded a short IG story which captures my friend giggling abit (not capturing her face, just hand and abit of upper body), patting her dog, who looked happy , and then panning into my dog who also looked happy and then video ending with about two seconds of ocean.

After uploading that story a few people 2-3 asked who’s that etc. I didn’t think much of it at the time but now I’m not too sure how it will be perceived ie) friend or potential romantic partner etc, but given people asked who’s that etc, its probably more romantic.

For women I have on Insta that were interested in me, but I haven’t met yet or have met once - would I have shot myself in the foot? I’m not sure if it would be a sign for them to give up/ get turned off, or if it’s not that deep, or maybe it’s beneficial?

Would appreciate an independent opinion on the situation.
