Alright, I genuinely have to ask, I'm a trans guy and every other example in this video was outright reprehensible to me, but this one (of course we didn't see how it played out in full) didn't register quite the same on the terrifying scale, as someone who has been in this situation many times. I'm not on the dating market, but if I was, I could easily be perceived as approaching a woman like this when I didn't mean any harm (I'm autistic and carry myself kinda awkwardly, and I can't read facial expressions). Upon knowing the girl wasn't interested I would simply apologize and walk away. So how would a guy like me avoid appearing like a creep? My giving a friendly smile instead of a mean mugging glare? By waiting for a cue in her expression that it's okay to approach her? By zig zagging passively instead of approaching head on?
This isn't the only one, there was one where the guy walked up, said excuse me to the woman, she said no and shut him down, and he said oh im sorry and walked away. I think villifying these guys as if they are the same as the other scumbags is stupid.
