I’ve been lurking on Bsky, a new replacement for social media, and women seem to be entirely uninterested in talking to men in most cases. They’ll say that things like they’re looking for new female friends, they love seeing beautiful women in their feed, they reply to other women who comment on their posts… But they tend to ignore men entirely. Even if a guy is just being platonic or speaking in a similar manner to a woman, they’re completely ignored. To test this, I changed my profile picture to that of a female anime avatar but I didn’t change my tone or manner of speaking at all. All of a sudden, I had people replying to me, saying nice things, being responsive to me. It’s like they assumed I was female, so I was ok to respond to.

Why do women avoid men so much?

    I was briefly on Bluesky and I had women follow me. I don’t remember if interacted with women otherwise. I didn’t care much about peoples gender, just remember the followers, because it were surprisingly many. I didn’t expect any at all.

      tbh I hate interacting with other men online especially on bsky because they’re creeps, and I’ve always been a very not-creepy normal guy. I get along very well with other people irl and see other men just saying the creepiest stuff. like for example a guy gif reacts to a selfie a woman posts that says “step on me” like ew. Women seem to offer much more engaging and real conversations with dimension and depth

        Well, if you’re for real, you pretty much answered your own question there. Many guys online are creeps, and you’d prefer to talk with women rather than try to find the golden fun normal person in a haystack of men.

        Not creepy, normal guys don’t feel the need to point out how not creepy and normal they are.

        Not creepy, normal guys don’t wonder why women don’t talk to them.

        Not creepy, normal guys don’t treat women as a monolith.

        We don’t all share a goddamn hivemind, sending out weekly fliers on hot topics and who we’re ignoring on the internet today.

        You talk like someone I would avoid.

        It sounds like you’re looking for deep meaningful conversation in the comments of thirst trap posts. Which is wild.
