While I underatand this, i don't buy into it.

Is it purely a man thing tho ?

I reckon many of us suffer from it and react in different ways.

Like, im overly chatty. Im sure its got to do with needing deeper connection and conversation.

Yet when i had a good relationship....i could breeze around, focused on groceries or whatever..... and people were almost invisible.

Now im hypersensitive to them.
I have to be careful. Chat too much to some dude....and they'll follow you !


Since COVID its even worse. People will shy away of you stand too close.
Then we over analyze if someone does stand too close.


Biologically we are geared for touch. We literally physically, mentally, emotionally, biologically, immunologically and endocrinologically need touch.

I do think men are more 'sexually' geared tho. They think about it more often.
So....i can see where a touch might trigger their thinking.

WTF ?
This is part of the incel mindset that has decided women owe arbitrary men access to their bodies, regardless of the woman’s wishes. That men as a group and their wellbeing are more important than women’s.

That person’s post ignores the women in happy relationships who are delighted to touch and be touched by their partners on a regular basis.

If a man can’t develop relationships with women where the woman at least feels safe and wants to be with him, that’s something he needs to look at. He’s the common denominator. It’s not the fault of all womankind.

If they aren't getting touched I'd say it's a good indicator that people see them as untrustworthy. Now why might that be..? 🤔 Either they put no effort into getting know anybody or perhaps because they get weirdly sexual about it themselves. Why would anybody owe any stranger physical touch? You get to know someone closer, let them know you aren't a threat and I can't see why you wouldn't get a friendly hug or a pat on the back. Maybe only if you make something much more out of it than it really is and make it painfully awkward and embarrassing for both sides and reveal yourself as untrustworthy.

Most of this is true in my experience. Only the last sentence is bull. Most men aren't dying from a lack of touch. And I don't think the anxiety and depression from that alone is severe either. It may pile onto other sources for that though.

Not all men are predatory or lonely. I was brought up in a family of huggers and kept it going in my family.

My wife is quite affectionate. And the people in my coven greet each other with hugs. We're like a family with chosen relatives.

That's clearly an incel sentiment. If one is incapable of being in a mutually agreed relationship, one must either live accordingly, or be someone who should be behind bars.

I respectfully disagree. I do worry than touching will be misinterpreted by the recipient. That is why i sometimes avoid contacts.

You're making a generalization about billions of people that is neither true nor supportable.
My guy friends all hug each other. I hug my women friends, too. I'm not trying to get with any of them.

, I am trying to really understand this statement. Which man is it referring to, i dont believe it meant "all".
