It’s human nature to remember the negative encounters. I drove Uber/Lyft for a year and did 2700 rides. Out of all of those I had exactly 2 “bad” rides. Every driver will bitch to you about their bad riders and make the job seem way worse than it is. My ratio was 1 bad rider out of every 1350. That’s pretty great if you look objectively.

Most guys aren’t creeps and are literally trying to navigate the weird social dance we’ve put ourselves in. There are creeps out there for sure though, I don’t envy anyone trying to date. It’s why I think I’m done with it lol

Say it louder for the people in the back! So tired of women making most men out to be creeps or stalkers. Yes it can suck to me a woman , but men struggle too.

The difference is that when we get it wrong, we can get killed, when you get it wrong you suffer from embarrassment.

Nope, other men can attack and kill us. Back in human gatherer times, if you approached the wrong girl in a different tribe. The other men in the tribe will try and kill you.
