And more specifically, i want to know how you deal with it when it's an obvious "pooling" of women, versus a man having genuine interest in you. For example, the other day I was in sweats not looking like anything special, and go into the gas station store to be like 20 on pump 5 or whatever. The guy IMMEDIATELY as I walk up goes hey beautiful, yadda yadda yadda, do you have kids, oh no you don't, so you know how rare it is to see people say they don't have kids, I say something about my boyfriend, he says oh boyfriend but no kids, I say it's new (which is actually true lol), he goes well if it doesn't work out hit me up (didn't even offer contact information, I just thought about that as posting now).-- now, I know it's not RP to be in a short term relationship, but I am admittedly rather purple pilled. I'm in a short term relationship with a man who wants a LTR with me, I don't see the compatibility there, but we are happy with each other for now for what it's worth, and have agreed that while we're both kind of living in the middle of nowhere and lonely, we're happy to have each other for the here and now. Sure it's not healthy by utmost objective standards, but I think we are being mature about it being honest and having that clarification, instead of say, me just saying yes to a ltr knowing I don't mean it just to fill the void and then breaking his heart on purpose one day. We've both had a substantial lack of relationships comparative to our age, so I think it makes sense that we'd want to quench that thirst, identify that part of ourselves, be honest about it and say its okay, its natural, it's neutral, it is what it is, and we'd rather do this than be in disparity, since the type of loneliness we've faced is not just a regular amount, but a legitimate cruel and unusual deficit. I mention this because I'm technically still keeping my options open, I'm opening to grabbing someone's social media handle, and taking my time deciding what and when I wanna do with it. I've just mainly been with my partner and haven't been seeing anyone else out of choice, just because that's what's peaceful to me at this moment. The only reason I mentioned the boyfriend to the guy, is because he was obviously just being grabby for women's attention, and I was unsure if I should even answer back or ignore. How would/does a redpill woman approach this situation? I feel like answering back is degrading, but could also be unsafe. I do think if a man gets verbally angry that you are ignoring him, though, your silence is basically telling a guy that he can continue getting away with speaking to women any kind of way. I even think in incredibly rare situations, a guy pooling for women could even be a good guy, as it makes sense to want to vet out everybody you possibly can, to find your best match (I do this lol, is that un-rp-like for a lady to do?)-- but, how do you differentiate those guys from just people trying it, if all other flags seem good? For instance I can basically guarantee that this guy was just sleazy, due to the laziness in his tone when approaching me, the fast that I was underdressed and had JUST walked right in, and lack of specifics of why he liked me, aside from the kids thing which happened AFTER he already started it. It could have also been because I was braless, because sometimes I just cannot be fucked with putting one on due to chronic pain and burnout, and also don't own many cause low income struggles tbh. But how do you deal with being approached in different situations, in different ways, in different settings, by different types of guys?
