I work in a field dominated by men who have notoriously poor social skills and are generally LVM. So unfortunately I have to encounter these kinds of men all the time because they are my coworkers or friends-of-friends. When I was in college, one of my classmates became extremely obsessive over me for years and did not understand social cues whatsoever, and to this day I am still repulsed by "nerdy" men because of it (lol). However I am still polite and friendly to people who I don't know well, and then random LVM seem to think me engaging in casual conversation with them at some social setting or at work means I am interested in a relationship. This sort of thing makes me want to avoid any social interaction with single men altogether.
